Read stdin and send to socket

Very simple utility witten in Zig to send streaming data to local area network. Currently only supports TCP socket.

Example

Capture video frames by V4L2 and convert them to I420, and encode them to VP8, and sent them by TCP socket.

#!/bin/sh -eux

VIDEODEV=/dev/video0
WIDTH=320
HEIGHT=240
FRAMERATE=15
KBPS=1000
GOP=60
HOST=my-mac.local
PORT=8999

v4l2capture $VIDEODEV /dev/stdout $WIDTH $HEIGHT $FRAMERATE YUYV | \
    convert2i420 /dev/stdin /dev/stdout $WIDTH $HEIGHT YUYV | \
    vp8enc /dev/stdin /dev/stdout $WIDTH $HEIGHT $FRAMERATE $KBPS $GOP | \
    pipe2socket tcp://$HOST:$PORT

On the reciever

ffplay -hide_banner -autoexit tcp://:8999?listen

ToDo

Make this into a package when the official zig package manager is released.
