C++ bindings for libnetconf2

Object-oriented bindings of the libnetconf2 library.

Installation

• C++20 compiler (e.g., GCC 10.x+, clang 10+)
• CMake 3.19+
• pkg-config
• libnetconf2
• C++ bindings for libyang
• optionally, Doxygen for building the documentation
• optionally, Doctest as a C++ unit test framework
• optionally, Boost for the test suite

The build process uses CMake. A quick-and-dirty build with no fancy options can be as simple as mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && make install.

Contributing

The current version wraps just enough to get a NETCONF client running over a file descriptor. That's enough for our use case. If you need more and are willing to maintain your contribution, patches welcome.

The development is being done on Gerrit here. Instructions on how to submit patches can be found here. GitHub Pull Requests are not used.
