  Description     : A C++ library for packing and unpacking OSC packets

Oscpack is simply a set of C++ classes for packing and unpacking OSC
packets. Oscpack includes a minimal set of UDP networking classes for
Windows and POSIX which are sufficient for writing many OSC applications
and servers, but you are encouraged to use another networking framework
if it better suits your needs. Oscpack is not an OSC application
framework, it doesn't include infrastructure for constructing or routing
OSC namespaces, just classes for easily constructing, sending, receiving
and parsing OSC packets. The library should also be easy to use for
other transport methods (eg serial).

The key goals of the oscpack library are:

 - to be a simple and complete implementation of OSC
 - to be portable to a wide variety of platforms
 - to allow easy development of robust OSC applications (for example it
should be impossible to crash a server by sending it malformed packets,
and difficult to create malformed packets.)
