Asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous model using a modern C++ approach.
Asio is also included in Boost but requires linking when used with Boost. Standalone it can be used header-only provided a recent-enough compiler.
Bug reports can also be registered at the GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/eddelbuettel/asioheaders/issues.
The https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rcppasioexample package
provides a simple illustration and example of using this package. It
can be used to both assert compiler and setup are working correctly, and form
a basis to extend work from. Generally speaking, only a `LinkingTo: AsioHeaders`
should is needed, plus on Windows only a very simply link instruction in
src/Makevars.win
adding PKG_LIBS = -lwsock32
-lws2_32
