Now the non-SSH backends critically depend on it, it's important not to forget to send it, for any socket type that's going to be used for any of those backends. But ProxySocket, and the Unix and Windows 'socket' types wrapping pipes to local subprocesses, were not doing so. Some of these socket types don't have a SockAddr available to represent the destination host. (Sometimes the concept isn't even meaningful). Therefore, I've also expanded the semantics of PLUGLOG_CONNECT_SUCCESS so that the addr parameter is allowed to be NULL, and invented a noncommittal fallback version of the log message in that situation.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
