"socket-api" sample introduction

This sample demonstrates how to use WAMR socket-api to develop wasm network applications. Two wasm applications are provided: tcp-server and tcp-client, and this sample demonstrates how they communicate with each other.

Preparation

Please install WASI SDK, download the wasi-sdk release and extract the archive to default path /opt/wasi-sdk. And install wabt, download the wabt release and extract the archive to default path /opt/wabt

Build the sample

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

The file tcp_server.wasm, tcp_client.wasm and iwasm will be created. And also file tcp_server and tcp_client of native version are created.

Note that iwasm is built with libc-wasi and lib-pthread enabled.

Run workload

Start the tcp server, which opens port 1234 and waits for clients to connect.

cd build
./iwasm --addr-pool=0.0.0.0/15 tcp_server.wasm

Start the tcp client, which connects the server and receives message.

cd build
./iwasm --addr-pool=127.0.0.1/15 tcp_client.wasm

The output of client is like:

[Client] Create socket
[Client] Connect socket
[Client] Client receive
[Client] 115 bytes received:
Buffer recieved:
Say Hi from the Server
Say Hi from the Server
Say Hi from the Server
Say Hi from the Server
Say Hi from the Server

[Client] BYE
