Progress: Further work in TacocaT.
I have confirmed that the send and receive to/from tacocat works.
This does send and receive with the current code but the written data writes the entire packet rather than just the payload.
This behavior will change.
This begins changing the design to make the receive consistent with some design differences from the send.
The received packet needs to be processed using the appropriate FSS functions.
Much of this is commented out next to where the work needs to be done.

Progress: Further work in TacocaT.
The F_pipe is being returned on socket write calls because the socket.address.inet4.sin_family (and probably the socket.address.inet4.sin_family) is not being set.
The kt_tacocat_socket_flag_send_connect_e is not needed and is now removed.
Use f_socket_close_fast_e in f_socket_disconnect().
Pass f_socket_flag_signal_not_e as a flag to f_socket_write_stream() so that a signal is not received if f_socket_write_stream() returns F_pipe.

While working on testing, cleaning up, and finish the code I stopped to make changes to the networking code.
This is the random state the code ended up being in while I adjusted focus.
I will have to resume here and figure out what I was last doing before my adjusted focus happened.

Progress: Further work in TacocaT.
The socket id and id_data descriptors need to be initialized to -1 and not 0.
Make sure they are setup after allocation and after processing (or after disconnect).
Provide more verbose error reporting that reports the particular block step the send fails on.
The receive is not yet updated to do the same but in the future it should be updated to do so.

Finish updating the primary structure in kt_tacocat_send_process().
The next thing to do is to test and figure out what is incomplete or broken.
After that, the next thing to do is to address the existing todo's and perform appropriate clean ups.

Progress: Further work in TacocaT and in particular update kt_tacocat_socket_set_t structure.
Restructure the kt_tacocat_socket_set_t to reduce the number of arrays.
I originally had the structure for f_polls_t.
I then got lazy and kept using the same array structure for everything.
Fix the array structure of kt_tacocat_socket_set_t and provide kt_tacocat_socket_sets_t.
The buffer string intended for a generic cache is move into the kt_tacocat_cache_t.
I am not sure if this is even being used and so this buffer string cache may be removed in the future if I fail to find a use for it.
Begin setting up the custom file name variable to resolve the fixme.
Also make preparations for only opening the file on poll and read operations.
Then close the file when done.
This keeps files from being held open for no reason.

Progress: Further work in TacocaT, getting the "receive" working and writing to a file.
This gets the receive mostly working.
There may be a few fixme or todo comments to address.
I decided to not bother with some of the more complex handling of problems to get this program out the door.
To test this, I used the FLL-0.6 branch version of the file specifications/fss-000f.txt.
I then created the Packet header using the bash script like this:
printf '\x00\x00\x00\x15\x78' > test.binary
cat 0.6/specifications/fss-000f.txt >> test.binary
The resulting binary file size is 0x1578 bytes (5496 bytes) and this can be confirmed via the wc command:
wc test.binary
I can then start the TacocaT program in a new terminal like this:
tacocat -r 127.0.0.1:12345 test.out +V
In a different terminal, I use netcat to test (because the "send" support is not yet written).
cat test.binary | netcat 127.0.0.1 12345
Use control-c to terminate TacocaT.
I can then confirm that the file has been created successfully via a md5sum check.
md5sum test.out 0.6/specifications/fss-000f.txt
The checksums should match, and in my testing they do match.

Progress: Further work in TacocaT.
Add the beginnings of some basic sanity checks.

Progress: Further work in TacocaT.
Get the existing, already implemented, TacocaT behavior working and without error.
This fixes some memory allocation mistakes (such as sending a memory address of a string, which the string is already the memory address that is needed).
Move the allocation logic to a separate function to make the code slightly cleaner.
For records purposes, I am currently compiling with the upcoming 0.6.7 (or a recent 0.7.0 dev release) of Featureless Make and the following command:

Create a socket set and move all associated arrays into it.
This allows for a receive and a send socket set to keep all of the associated properties together.

Feature: Initial addition of the "TacocaT" program.
The "TacocaT" program is intended to be similar to netcat.
To concatenate multiple network connections in this context simply means to transfer data from one point to another.
The intent and purpose of this program is really to test my network connection software.
This program is only stubbed out at this point in time.
I need to figure out how I want the data files to be setup.
The network code is not implemented at all, yet.
I also decided to tease my plans on improving the existing Kevux DNS alternative network resolution methodology.
