ZeroTier SDK

Embed ZeroTier directly into your app or service. Connect everything without worrying about how it's actually connected.

---

Example

string str = "welcome to the machine";
zts_start("./zt");
while(!zts_running())
	sleep(1);
zts_join("e5cd7a7b1c0fa971");
while(!zts_has_address(nwid))
	sleep(1);
if((fd = zts_socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) {
	printf("error creating ZeroTier socket");
}
if((err = zts_connect(fd, (const struct sockaddr *)addr, sizeof(addr))) < 0) {
	printf("error connecting to remote host (%d)\n", err);
}
int wrote = zts_write(fd, str.c_str(), str.length());
zts_close(fd);

Bindings also exist for many popular languages.

Build Targets

Static Library

• make static_lib SDK_IPV4=1: Will output to build/

Tests

• make tests: Will output to build/tests/

Then run the unit test suite with whatever configuration you need. For instance:

To run a single-test IPv4 client/server test:

• Host 1: ./build/selftest zt1 c7cd7c9e1b0f52a2 simple 4 server 8787
• Host 2: ./build/selftest zt2 c7cd7c9e1b0f52a2 simple 4 client 10.9.9.40 8787

To run a multi-message IPv4 client/server test:

• Host 1: ./build/test/unit zt2 c7cd7c9e1b0f52a2 simple 4 server 8787 n_bytes 100 50'

• Host 2: ./build/test/unit zt2 c7cd7c9e1b0f52a2 simple 4 client 10.9.9.40 8787 n_bytes 100 50'

• For more unit test examples, see the testing page
