OCaml application-level Internet libraries - core runtime libraries

Ocamlnet is a collection of OCaml libraries focusing focus on application-level Internet protocols and conventions.

Ocamlnet consists of the following libraries:

 * netstring: processing of strings that occur in network context
 * netcgi1 and netcgi2: portable web applications
 * nethttpd: is a web server component (HTTP server implementation)
 * netplex: generic server framework
 * rpc: OncRPC implementation
 * netclient: clients for HTTP, FTP, and Telnet
 * equeue: event queue used for many protocol implementations
 * shell: external commands invocation
 * netshm: shared memory for IPC purposes
 * netsys: bindings for system functions
 * smtp and pop: two further client implementations

A number of ideas and concepts are used throughout the libraries:

 * netchannels are a way to abstract sequential I/O channels
 * event queues provided by equeue and unixqueue make asynchronous
   protocol interpreters possible

This package contains only the shared runtime stub libraries for the core Ocamlnet libraries. Stub libraries for SSL-related components are available in the libocamlnet-ssl-ocaml-dev package.
