I basically am looking for a cross platform way to do basic things such as accept connections and send and receive data. What library would work in Linux, Windows and Mac?
Thanks

Winsock is based on the BSD sockets API, which is natively supported on both Linux and OS X (ie.
socket(),connect(),accept(),send(),recv(),select()and so forth).There are some differences, but they are such that it’s usually easier to port from Winsock to true BSD sockets than the reverse.
