Question 1

How do I set up a basic TCP server with Dyad.c?

Accepted Answer

Initialize dyad with dyad_init(), create a stream using dyad_newStream(), add listeners for events like DYAD_EVENT_ACCEPT with callbacks, and call dyad_listen() on a port, as demonstrated in the server example. Then, run dyad_update() in a loop to handle events.

Question 2

Dyad.c vs libevent: which is better for simple networking in C?

Accepted Answer

Dyad.c is better for minimal, drop-in integration and simplicity with its single-file design, while libevent offers more features, scalability, and cross-platform event handling but with greater complexity. Choose Dyad.c for lightweight projects, libevent for more demanding applications.

Question 3

Does Dyad.c support SSL/TLS for secure connections?

Accepted Answer

No, Dyad.c does not have built-in SSL/TLS support. You would need to implement encryption separately using libraries like OpenSSL, which adds complexity and may negate some of Dyad.c's simplicity.

Question 4

Can I use Dyad.c on embedded systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, due to its lightweight and portable nature with minimal dependencies, Dyad.c is suitable for embedded environments where resource constraints are a concern, as highlighted in the value proposition.

Question 5

How does Dyad.c handle errors or connection failures?

Accepted Answer

Dyad.c uses event callbacks for error handling, such as DYAD_EVENT_ERROR, but the documentation is sparse on specifics, so developers may need to experiment or rely on community resources for robust error management.

Question 6

What are the performance limitations of Dyad.c for high-concurrency apps?

Accepted Answer

While efficient for small to medium loads, Dyad.c's manual event loop and lack of advanced features like thread pooling might not scale well for thousands of concurrent connections, making it better suited for simpler use cases.
