◆ sndto() [1/3]

ssize_t libsocket::unix_dgram::sndto	(	const void *	buf,
		size_t	length,
		const char *	path,
		int	sendto_flags = `0`
	)

Send data to datagram socket.

Parameters

buf	Pointer to data.
length	Length of `buf`
path	Path of destination
sendto_flags	Flags for `sendto(2)`

Returns: How many bytes were sent. Returns -1 if the socket was created with SOCK_NONBLOCK and errno is EWOULDBLOCK.

◆ sndto() [2/3]

ssize_t libsocket::unix_dgram::sndto	(	const void *	buf,
		size_t	length,
		const string &	path,
		int	sendto_flags = `0`
	)

Send data to datagram socket.

Parameters

buf	Pointer to data.
length	Length of `buf`
path	Path of destination
sendto_flags	Flags for `sendto(2)`

Returns: How many bytes were sent. Returns -1 if the socket was created with SOCK_NONBLOCK and errno is EWOULDBLOCK.

◆ sndto() [3/3]

ssize_t libsocket::unix_dgram::sndto	(	const string &	buf,
		const string &	path,
		int	sendto_flags = `0`
	)

Send data to datagram socket.

Parameters

buf	Pointer to data.
path	Path of destination
sendto_flags	Flags for `sendto(2)`

Returns: How many bytes were sent. Returns -1 if the socket was created with SOCK_NONBLOCK and errno is EWOULDBLOCK.

Definition at line 106 of file unixdgram.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ rcvfrom() [1/3]

ssize_t libsocket::unix_dgram::rcvfrom	(	void *	buf,
		size_t	length,
		char *	source,
		size_t	source_len,
		int	recvfrom_flags = `0`
	)

Receive data and store the sender's address.

Parameters

buf	Receive buffer
length	Length of `buf`
source	Buffer for sender's path
source_len	`source`'s length
recvfrom_flags	Flags for `recvfrom(2)`

Returns: How many bytes were received. Returns -1 if the socket was created with SOCK_NONBLOCK and errno is EWOULDBLOCK.

Definition at line 124 of file unixdgram.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ rcvfrom() [2/3]

ssize_t libsocket::unix_dgram::rcvfrom	(	void *	buf,
		size_t	length,
		string &	source,
		int	recvfrom_flags = `0`
	)

Receive data and store the sender's address.

Parameters

buf	Receive buffer
length	Length of `buf`
source	Buffer for sender's path. The path is truncated to `source.size()` characters.
recvfrom_flags	Flags for `recvfrom(2)`

Returns: How many bytes were received. Returns -1 if the socket was created with SOCK_NONBLOCK and errno is EWOULDBLOCK.

Definition at line 159 of file unixdgram.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ rcvfrom() [3/3]

ssize_t libsocket::unix_dgram::rcvfrom	(	string &	buf,
		string &	source,
		int	recvfrom_flags = `0`
	)

Receive data and store the sender's address.

Parameters

buf	Receive buffer. The data is truncated to `buf.size()` characters.
source	Buffer for sender's path. The path is truncated to `source.size()` characters.
recvfrom_flags	Flags for `recvfrom(2)`

Returns: How many bytes were received. Returns -1 if the socket was created with SOCK_NONBLOCK and errno is EWOULDBLOCK.

Definition at line 208 of file unixdgram.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ get_path()

string libsocket::unix_socket::get_path ( void )

inherited

Returns the path we're bound or connected to.

Definition at line 50 of file unixbase.cpp.

◆ destroy()

int libsocket::socket::destroy ( void )

virtualinherited

Destroys a socket.

Return values

0	Fine!
<0	Most likely the socket was already closed before.

Definition at line 72 of file socket.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ getfd()

int libsocket::socket::getfd ( void ) const

inherited

Returns the socket file descriptor.

Returns: The socket file descriptor of the class.

getfd() is a getter you may use to obtain the file descriptor for raw operations on it. It's relatively uncritical as libsocket just wraps other syscalls and doesn't manipulate it using unusual ways.

Definition at line 91 of file socket.cpp.

◆ set_sock_opt()

int libsocket::socket::set_sock_opt	(	int	level,
		int	optname,
		const char *	optval,
		socklen_t	optlen
	)		const

inherited

Set socket options on the underlying socket.

Returns: The return value of setsockopt(2).

Sets socket options using setsockopt(2). See setsockopt(2), tcp(7), udp(7), unix(7) for documentation on how to use this function.

Definition at line 101 of file socket.cpp.

◆ set_close_on_destructor()

void libsocket::socket::set_close_on_destructor ( bool cod )

inlineinherited

close_on_destructor is true by default. If set to false, do not call close(2) on the underlying socket in the destructor.

Definition at line 95 of file socket.hpp.

Member Data Documentation

◆ _path

string libsocket::unix_socket::_path

protectedinherited

The path we're connected (client stream) or bound (server stream, server datagram)

Definition at line 55 of file unixbase.hpp.

◆ sfd

int libsocket::socket::sfd

protectedinherited

sfd is the sockets API file descriptor

Definition at line 74 of file socket.hpp.

◆ close_on_destructor

bool libsocket::socket::close_on_destructor

protectedinherited

Default is true; if set to false, the file descriptor is not closed when the destructor is called.

Definition at line 78 of file socket.hpp.
