Provides Cross-Platform Transport Protocols and SSL/TLS implementations for C++.\n\n### Documentation\n\nhttps://awslabs.github.io/aws-crt-cpp/\n\n### Currently Included:\n\n* aws-c-common: Cross-platform primitives and data structures.\n* aws-c-io: Cross-platform event-loops, non-blocking I/O, and TLS implementations.\n* aws-c-mqtt: MQTT client.\n* aws-c-auth: Auth signers such as Aws-auth sigv4\n* aws-c-http: HTTP 1.1 client, and websockets (H2 coming soon)\n* aws-checksums: Cross-Platform HW accelerated CRC32c and CRC32 with fallback to efficient SW implementations.\n* aws-c-event-stream: C99 implementation of the vnd.amazon.event-stream content-type.\n\nMore protocols and utilities are coming soon, so stay tuned.\n\n## Building\n\nThe C99 libraries are already included for your convenience as submodules.\nYou should perform a recursive clone `git clone --recursive` or initialize the submodules via\n`git submodule update --init`. These dependencies are compiled by CMake as part of the build process.\n\nIf you want to manage these dependencies manually (e.g. you\u0027re using them in other projects), configure CMake with\n`-DBUILD_DEPS=OFF` and `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=\u003cinstall\u003e` pointing to the absolute path where you have them installed.\n\n### MSVC\nIf you want to use a statically linked MSVCRT (/MT, /MTd), you can add `-DAWS_STATIC_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY=ON` to your cmake configuration.\n\n### Apple Silicon (aka M1) and Universal Binaries\n\naws-crt-cpp supports both `arm64` and `x86_64` architectures.\nConfigure cmake with `-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64` to target Apple silicon,\nor `-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64` to target Intel.\nIf you wish to create a [universal binary](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/building-a-universal-macos-binary),\nyou should use `lipo` to combine the `x86_64` and `arm64` binaries.\nFor example: `lipo -create -output universal_app x86_app arm_app`\n\nYou SHOULD NOT build for both architectures si",
