- G U S I -- Grand Unified Socket Interface
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- GUSI is an extension and partial replacement of the MPW C runtime
- library. Its main objective is to provide a more or less simple and
- consistent interface across the following communication domains:
-
- Files Ordinary Macintosh files and MPW pseudo devices.
- Unix Memory based communication within a single machine
- Appletalk ADSP communication over a network.
- PPC Local and remote connections with the System 7 PPC Toolbox
- Internet TCP and UDP connections over MacTCP.
-
- Additionally, GUSI adds some UNIX library calls dealing with files which
- were missing, like chdir(), getcwd(), symlink(), and readlink(), and changes
- a few other library calls to behave more like their UNIX counterparts.
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- To use GUSI, you need MPW C 3.2 or later. To modify it, you additionally need
- MPW C++ 3.2 or later and Perl. GUSI_120.doc.sit.bin provides the documentation
- for non-postscript printers. Documentation in Postscript format is included.
