libstrophe uses non-blocking sockets and the connect() syscall may return before a TCP connection is established. This doesn't allow to catch all possible errors synchronously and some of the errors are handled in the event handler. In a scenario with multiple SRV records and/or multiple IP addresses resolution, we need to repeat connection attempt on a failure. xmpp_sock_t resolves the above problem. It keeps resolved records and addresses to repeat connect attempt asynchronously.

Build Instructions
------------------
If you are building from a source control checkout, run:
./bootstrap.sh
to generate the `configure` script.
From the top-level directory, run the following commands:
./configure
make
The public API is defined in `strophe.h` which is in the
top-level directory.
The `examples` directory contains some examples of how to
use the library; these may be helpful in addition to the
API documentation
To install on your system, as root (or using sudo):
make install
Note, the default install path is `/usr/local/`, to specify
another path use the `--prefix` option during configure, e.g.:
./configure --prefix=/usr
### Android
Run script `build-android.sh` and follow the instructions. You will
need expat sources and android-ndk.
### Code Coverage
If you want to create a code coverage report, run:
./configure --enable-coverage
make coverage
The coverage report can be found in `./coverage/index.html`.
Requirements
------------
libstrophe requires:
- expat or libxml2 - expat is the default; use `--with-libxml2` to
switch
- openssl or GnuTLS on UNIX systems - openssl is default; use
`--with-gnutls` to switch
To build libstrophe using autotools you will need `autoconf`,
`automake`, `libtool` and `pkg-config`.
To run code coverage analysis you will need `gcov` and `lcov`.
Installation
------------
libstrophe package has been added to popular Linux distributions,
BSD systems and OSX package managers.
Documentation
-------------
API documentation is inline with the code and conforms to Doxygen
standards. You can generate an HTML version of the API documentation
by running:
doxygen
or if you have everything configured properly:
make docs
Then open `docs/html/index.html`.
An online version of the documentation of the latest release is available on http://strophe.im/libstrophe/
