Welcome to the Clarasoft Foundation Server (CFS) wiki!

What is the Clarasoft Foundation Server?

The CFS-Clarasoft-Foundation-Server (CFS) is a TCP development framework written in the C language. The CFS framework makes it easy to develop network clients and servers. There are two versions of the CFS; one for Linux and one for IBMi OS/400. The IBMi OS/400 version also provides ILE RPG sources to assist ILE RPG programmers to develop network clients and services by using the CFS from ILE RPG.

What does CFS provide?

CFS provides a generic TCP server and an SDK to extend the generic TCP server with your own services. The SDK can also be used to create clients to your services as well as clients to existing services. For example, the SDK provides HTTP functions to connect to a web server.
