Hey, If someone can help me to setup a project in Kotlin/Native targeting windowsOS, linuxOS and macOS. In this project I want to create a TCP socket and client to transmit the data. Thanks in advance.

Feel free to use <https://github.com/saldoukhov/chuck> as a template

Hi <@U0493HD8V4K> thanks for the quick response, I was able to create a sample project setup for the kotlin/native. Next want to create an application for the tcp server socket to accept the data from the local lan targeting OS windows,linux and mac. *It should be without support of the JVM.* I have explore many blogs and git repos but did not find the self explanatory blog or right information.

Hi <@U01JRLZH77T>, by any chance can you suggest any git link for the reference. Or reference code is available.

<https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/tree/main/ktor-network|https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/tree/main/ktor-network>
It’s the networking module of ktor and used by Ktor CIO, mostly http. The documentation of ktor focus on the clients, so networking tests are the sample code. 

<https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/main/ktor-network/jvmAndNix/test/io/ktor/network/sockets/tests/TCPSocketTest.kt|https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/main/ktor-network/jvmAndNix/test/io/ktor/network/sockets/tests/TCPSocketTest.kt>

But ktor doesn't have TCP support for Windows unfortunately

Hi <@U01JRLZH77T> thanks for links. But not able to load and run.

Hi <@U010G5DQZPW> yes, so I'm trying to use the native for the  but getting limited resources. I am new to kotlin.

```memScoped {
    val serverAddress = alloc<sockaddr_in>()
    serverAddress.sin_family = AF_INET.toShort()
    serverAddress.sin_port = htons(15583)
    serverAddress.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("0.0.0.0")```
for this code getting an error :Unresolved reference: s_addr

Import the below reference
```import kotlinx.cinterop.*
import platform.posix.*
import platform.windows.htonl
import kotlin.native.concurrent.*```
One thin I was found that if write code like
```serverAddress.sin_addr.S_un.S_addr = inet_addr("0.0.0.0")```
then no issue was found but it fails at bind method
```if (bind(serverSocket, serverAddress.ptr.reinterpret(), sizeOf<sockaddr_in>().convert()) < 0) {
    perror("server: can't bind local address")
    return
}```
Return the error. can't bind local address.
