Usage notes

When using the LibNetCeiver includes, please use the "netcv/" include prefix path only. The paths below "mcast" are there for legacy reasons only and will be removed in future versions.

Example:

#include "netcv/mcast.h"

Contributor notes

The NetCeiver is old, outdated hardware and only a few projects cover it. To make it as easy as possible for existing projects with NetCeiver support, please follow these rules:

  • Do not break or change existing interfaces. Best case the current interface is stable forever.
  • If new interfaces are added, then prefix them with "netcv_" or "NETCV_" to reduce the risk of conflicts with other functions in a project. Example for this is the recently added "log masking" feature.
