Have a look at Gio: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/
It includes GSocket, wrapping the low-level BSD sockets, and higher
level wrappers such as GSocketClient and GSocketConnection.
Once you have that, you can get a GSocketInputStream /
GSocketOutputStream, wrap it with a GDataInputStream /
GDataOutputStream for buffering and formatting.
If you're doing binary communications, you probably need to target
3.6, as many operations did not support GBytes in 3.4.
