CFNetwork - heldersrvio/PureDarwin GitHub Wiki
CFNetwork is a companion to CoreFoundation, and provides key networking features to applications.
While it was available as part of Darwin 8 (OS X 10.4), with the release of Darwin 9 (OS X 10.5) it became closed source. However, the source code for the last version released under Darwin 8 is still available from Apple, and with minor patching can be made to compile in the darwinbuild chroot.
CFNetwork is part of the CoreServices umbrella framework. CoreServices itself is a basic stub, existing solely to link to the framework under it.
Below as an attachement is a binary version of CFNetwork.framework, wrapped inside a CoreServices.framework. Also included is the CarbonCore.framework, which contains only header files.
Code written, compiled and linked to CoreServices on OS X will run successfully on PureDarwinXmas. The CFNetService type (the only part tested so far) operates correctly.
This software is covered by the APSL.
The goal of this project is to make Darwin more usable by providing an installation ISO, documentation, and add-on software. You are welcome to join #puredarwin on irc.freenode.net or the Gitter chat if you would like to join PureDarwin development and to add to this site.
The Wiki pages were recently moved from Google Sites and in the conversion process some formatting was lost. Please help fixing the markdown of this page by editing it. But please delete nothing, especially not (broken) images; fix them instead (see the main page of the Wiki for an example).
