Member Function Documentation

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::accept ( TCPSocket & newClientSocket ) [virtual]

Accept connection.
Accepts a new client connection on a listening socket and initializes a TCPSocket object appropriately. Returns true on success, false otherwise.

Note:
On success, you can use the new remote client socket for I/O like you would use a local client socket.

Parameters:

newClientSocket Where to store the new remote client socket.

Returns:
true on success, false otherwise.

int Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::accept ( sockaddr_in & newAddr,

socklen_t & newAddrSize

) [virtual]

Accept connection.
Accepts a new client connection on a listening socket.

Note:
You must call listen() prior to accept().

Parameters:

newAddr Where to store the address of the connected peer.

newAddrSize Where to store size of the address of the connected peer.

Returns:
File descriptor of the new client socket.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::bind ( unsigned int newAddress ) [virtual]

Bind socket.
Bind a socket to a local port and interface. Pass INADDR_ANY to 'address' to bind to all available local interfaces. Returns true on success, false otherwise.

Parameters:

newAddress Local interface address to bind to.

Returns:
true on success, false otherwise.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::bind ( ) [virtual]

Bind socket.
Bind a socket to a local port on all available local interfaces.

Returns:
true on success, false otherwise.

void Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::close ( ) [virtual]

Close connection.
Closes the connection.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::connect ( ) [virtual]

Connect.
Connect to remote host.

Returns:
true on success, false otherwise.

std::string Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::getClientIP ( ) [virtual]

Get client IP.
Get the IP address which the socket is bound to.

Note:
For remote client sockets, the IP address will be set automatically by accept(). However, it will not be set automatically for a local client socket.

Returns:
IP address, in numbers-and-dots notation.

int Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::getFD ( ) [virtual]

Get file descriptor.
Get the file descriptor associated with this socket object.

Returns:
Socket file descriptor..

int Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::getListenQueue ( ) [virtual]

Get listen queue.
Get the listen queue size for a server socket.

Returns:
Listen queue size.

Reporter & Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::getLog ( ) [virtual]

Get Console output/logging facility.

Returns:
The console output/logging facility used by this object.

int Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::getPort ( ) [virtual]

Get port.
Get the port number this socket object will connect to.

Returns:
Port number.

string Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::getRemoteHost ( ) [virtual]

Get remote host.
Get the hostname of the remote host this socket object will connect to.

Returns:
Hostname.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::isBound ( ) [virtual]

Binding state.
Get the binding state of the socket.

Note:
This is only valid for server sockets.

Returns:
true if this socket object is bound to a local port, false otherwise.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::isConnected ( ) [virtual]

Connection state.
Get the connection state.

Note:
This is only valid for client sockets.

Returns:
true if this socket object is connected, false otherwise.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::isListening ( ) [virtual]

Listening state.
Get the listening state of the socket.

Note:
This is only valid for server sockets.

Returns:
true if this socket object is listening, false otherwise.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::listen ( ) [virtual]

Listen.
Listen for incoming connections.

Note:
You must call bind() prior to listen().

Returns:
true on success, false otherwise.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::readBytes ( std::string & bytes ) [virtual]

Read bytes.
Read bytes from the socket.

Parameters:

bytes String to store incoming bytes.

Returns:
true on success, false otherwise.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::resolve ( ) [virtual]

Resolve remote hostname.
Resolve the remote hostname.

Returns:
true on success, false otherwise.

bool Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::sendBytes ( const std::string & bytes ) [virtual]

Send bytes.
Send bytes over the socket.

Parameters:

bytes Bytes to send over the socket.

Returns:
true on success, false otherwise.

void Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::setBindingState ( bool newBindingState ) [virtual]

Set binding state.
Sets the binding state.

Note:
You should not normally use this, since the binding state is set automatically. However, if you want to construct a TCPSocket object for an existing file descriptor, it might be necessary to set the binding state manually.

Parameters:

newBindingState Binding state.

void Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::setClientIP ( const std::string & newClientIP ) [virtual]

Set client IP.
Sets the IP address of the client represented by this TCPSocket object.

Note:
This is used by accept() to store the IP address of a newly connected client. You should not normally set this by hand.

Parameters:

newClientIP Client IP.

void Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::setConnectionState ( bool newConnectionState ) [virtual]

Set connection state.
Sets the connection state.

Note:
You should not normally use this, since the connection state is set automatically. However, if you want to construct a TCPSocket object for an existing file descriptor, it might be necessary to set the connection state manually.

Parameters:

newConnectionState Connection state.

void Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::setFD ( int newFD ) [virtual]

Set file descriptor.
Sets the file descriptor associated with this socket object.

Note:
If the TCPSocket object is initialized and connected when you call this function, it will be closed and its internal state reset.

Parameters:

newFD Socket file descriptor.

void Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::setListeningState ( bool newListeningState ) [virtual]

Set listening state.
Sets the listening state.

Note:
You should not normally use this, since the listening state is set automatically. However, if you want to construct a TCPSocket object for an existing file descriptor, it might be necessary to set the listening state manually.

Parameters:

newListeningState Listening state.

void Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::setListenQueue ( int newListenQueue ) [virtual]

Set listen queue.
Sets the size of the queue for incoming connections.

Note:
This is only valid for server sockets.

Parameters:

newListenQueue Queue size for incoming connections.

void Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::setPort ( int newPort ) [virtual]

Set port.
Sets the port this socket object will connect to.

Parameters:

newPort Port number of the remote host.

void Ionflux::Tools::TCPSocket::setRemoteHost ( const std::string & newHost ) [virtual]

Set remote host.
Sets the remote host this socket object will connect to. You can specify either a host name or an IP address.

Parameters:

newHost Hostname of the remote host.
