libtelnet is a library for handling the TELNET protocol for use by the
SDL-Hercules-390 emulator. It includes routines for parsing incoming data from
a remote peer as well as formatting data to be sent to the remote peer.
libtelnet uses a callback-oriented API, allowing application-specific handling
of various events. The callback system is also used for buffering outgoing
protocol data, allowing the application to maintain control of the actual
socket connection.
Features supported include the full TELNET protocol, Q-method option
negotiation, and NEW-ENVIRON.
The sdl-telnet-devel package contains libraries and header files for
developing applications that use sdl-telnet.
