# libasio
Asio is a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming
that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous model using a modern
C++ approach.
Asio provides the basic building blocks for C++ networking, concurrency and
other kinds of I/O. Asio is used in all kinds of applications, from phone apps
to the worlds fastest share markets.
For more information see: https://think-async.com/Asio/
This is a `build2` package for the standalone version of the Asio library.
# Usage
This package provides the `lib{asio}` library.
SSL support is disabled by default. To enable it, add the following to your
`manifest`:
```
depends:
\
libasio ^1.28.0
{
require
{
config.libasio.ssl = true
}
}
\
```
Note that on some platforms (such as MinGW) it may be necessary for
applications to define `_WIN32_WINNT` to an appropriate value. If it's not
defined the library's `config.hpp` header will issue a warning and choose a
default (currently `0x0601`, meaning Windows 7 and later; this is also the
value that the library is built with).
