Detailed Description

An implementation of the Mud Server Data Protocol.

Overview

MSDP is used to send arbitrary data between server and client.

There is no difference between the server and client protocols for MSDP: both can send and receive arbitrary data packets. However, it is usually the case that the client sends a limited number of packets requesting or subscribing to various standardised data sources. This is, however, entirely application-specific. See the specification page for more details.

Usage

Create a server or client as appropriate. Install it in a session, activate as normal.

Data is transmitted using a telnetpp::options::msdp::variable. These can be sent using your option's send() function, or you can register for changes using the on_receive signal.
