Writing Queue-Modul in Pascal

Writing Queue-Modul in Pascal

[sven]

Hi!
I am trying to write an application for the queue-target.
Unfortunately all examples and source code itself are written in C++.
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man3/libipq.3.html

I like to use Pascal (freepascal or so...) but I need nessesary units 
(called header files in C++?)

Is there any change to use Pascal?


Greetings Sven

The examples are in C, not C++. Using Pascal should be relatively 
straightforward if you can somehow translate the C headerfiles.

I thought, m is an object (m->packet_id).
I take a look in these headerfiles.

Ah, no, that is C-ish for accessing a field of a struct (record) through 
a pointer. It is equivalent to (IIRC) to (^m).packet_id in Pascal (or 
was it (m^).packet_id? Well something like that).

I wanted to search the ip-packet for hex-values and then decide to drop 
or accept the paket.
