usockets
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have made contact... with myself! I got a boilerplate code example
of `usocket' working and it's receiving `nc' emissions from my
shell. The only snag that got me along the way is that `socket-server'
is defined in the `usocket-server.asd' system definition file. So I
had to load it separately along with the main `usocket' definition,
using `(ql:quicklisp '(usocket usocket-server))'.
So that's grand. Now the next problem: I don't know how to unbind the
port! See, I evaluated the expression... so it's running in the
REPL... but what if I want to redefine it? Can't, because the ports
already in use. Not sure about that. I'm going to ignore this problem
for a while.
Next tasks:
- I need to review programs that have use the UDP facilities of
`usocket'
- Learn to debug ()
- Learn to write tests
- Create project directory with packege definition file
Little things learned:
- Press TAB in `slime-repl' to see completions
- To inspect a function: `(inspect #'some-function)'
