NAME
       GNU Serveez - A server framework.

SYNOPSIS
       serveez [options]

DESCRIPTION
       GNU  Serveez  is	a server framework.  It	provides routines and help for
       implementing IP-based servers (currently	TCP, UDP and ICMP).   It  sup-
       ports named pipes for all connection-oriented protocols.

       We  think  it is	worth the effort because many people need server func-
       tionality within	their applications.  However, many  people  experience
       problems	 with select(2)	or poll(2) loops, and with non-blocking	opera-
       tions.

       GNU Serveez demonstrates	various	aspects	of advanced  network  program-
       ming in a portable manner.  It is known to compile and run on GNU/Linux
       systems,	 as well as on other 32-bit and	64-bit flavours	of Unix	and on
       Microsoft Windows (9x/ME/NT/2000/XP).

       You can use it for implementing your own	servers	or  for	 understanding
       how certain network services and	operations work.

       The  package  includes  a  number of servers that work already: an HTTP
       server, an IRC server, a	Gnutella spider	and some others.  One  of  the
       highlights is that you can run all protocols on the same	port.  The ap-
       plication  itself  is  single threaded but it uses helper processes for
       concurrent name resolution and ident lookups.
