Demonstrates how to call the DupSocket method. C++

#include <CkSocket.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkSocket socket;
    success = socket.Connect("example.com",443,true,5000);

    //  ...
    //  ...

    //  Duplicate the socket to share the same connection across threads.
    //  In a multithreaded application, each thread should use its own socket object. For example:

    //  - The main thread can use the original socket for reading.
    //  - A secondary thread can use a duplicate for writing.
    //  - Another thread can use a separate duplicate to monitor the connection status.

    CkSocket socket_for_sending;
    success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_sending);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << socket.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    CkSocket socket_for_monitor;
    success = socket.DupSocket(socket_for_monitor);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << socket.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  All three socket objects: socket, socket_for_sending, and socket_for_monitor share the same underlying connection.
