libcess
libcess is the Cesspool networking library used by the Dat (ddat) and
Cabal-compatible (cable) applications. It owns the UDP transport, peer
discovery/rendezvous protocol, bootstrap client/server behavior, and the
persistent Ed25519 identity used by the Cesspool network.
Dat and Cable are applications built on this base. Archive storage remains SLEEP; room/feed behavior remains in Cable. libcess does not depend on either application or their storage layers.
Build
Requires a C99 compiler, GNU make, and libsodium development files.
make
make install
Build artifacts stay under libcess/build. Set PREFIX or DESTDIR for a
staged install. The standalone package reads libcess/NETWORK_PROTOCOL;
the full dat-gpt build uses the project-root NETWORK_PROTOCOL file so Dat
and Cable share the same Cesspool network identity.
The bootstrap service is cesspool-bootstrap. It only provides discovery;
it does not relay chat or archive payloads. Supply --advertise HOST:PORT
for the address clients should use, and make that UDP port reachable through
the host firewall and edge router. No external address lookup is performed.
See the public API, network API, and bootstrap man page.
