CyberTorrent for C (Under Development)

I was developing a library based on BitTorrent to study about the implementation of P2P networking before, but I stopped the development because I have no idea about the application which I want to create.

However I will restart the development project because I would like to create some useful applications which are based on P2P such as Joost.

I have added the current codes into a new project on SourceForge now. The following sample shows how to get the peers of the specified torrent using the current library.

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
 CgBittorrentMetainfo *cbm;
 CgBittorrentTracker *cbt;
 CgBittorrentPeer *cbp;
 int n;
 if (argc < 2) {
  printf(";Usage : printpeers <Torrent URL>\n";);
  return -1;
 }
 cbm = cg_bittorrent_metainfo_new();
 if (cg_bittorrent_metainfo_fetch(cbm, argv[1]) == FALSE) {
  printf(";Couldn't get the specified torrent file <%s>\n";, argv[1]);
  return -1;
 }

 cbt = cg_bittorrent_tracker_new();
 cg_bittorrent_tracker_load(
  cbt , 
  cbm,
  (unsigned char *)CDIST_TEST_TRACKER_PEERID,
  ";";,
  CDIST_TEST_TRACKER_PORT,
  CDIST_TEST_TRACKER_UPLOADED,
  CDIST_TEST_TRACKER_DOWNLOADED,
  CDIST_TEST_TRACKER_LEFT,
  TRUE,
  CG_BITTORRENT_TRACKER_EVENT_STARTED,
  CDIST_TEST_TRACKER_NUMWANT
  );
 n = 0;
 for (cbp = cg_bittorrent_tracker_getpeers(cbt); cbp; cbp = cg_bittorrent_peer_next(cbp)) {
  n++;
  printf(";[%d] %s:%d\n";,
   n,
   cg_bittorrent_peer_getaddress(cbp),
   cg_bittorrent_peer_getport(cbp));
 }
 cg_bittorrent_tracker_delete(cbt);
 cg_bittorrent_metainfo_delete(cbm);
 return 0;
}

To compile the sample, you have to install the latest CyberLinkForC from the SVN. Please use the following commands to check the simple sample if you want.

$ svn co https://cgbittorrent.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cgbittorrent/trunk 
$ cgbittorrent
$ cd cgbittorrent/
$ ./boostrap
$ ./configure
$ make
$ ./sample/printpeers/unix/printpeers http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Zod-dvd-i386.torrent

Currently, there are many implementations based on Bittorrent. I will implement the basic functions about [[http://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification][the BitTorrent specification] at first, then I will develop the uniqueness.
