Detailed Description

This class is a singleton that will monitor the network interfaces on a machine and update a list aof clients on any changes to the number or addresses of the interfaces.

A user may override this singleton by creating a derived class and making a static instance of it before any monitor client classes are created. This would typically be done in the users main program.

Member Function Documentation

void PInterfaceMonitor::AddNotifier	(	const Notifier &	notifier,
		unsigned	priority = `DefaultPriority`
	)

Add a notifier for interface changes.

Parameters

notifier	Notifier to be called by interface monitor
priority	Priority for notification

bool PInterfaceMonitor::GetInterfaceInfo	(	const PString &	iface,
		InterfaceEntry &	info
	)		const

Return information about an active interface given the descriptor string.

Note that when searchin the descriptor may be a partial match e.g. "10.0.1.11" or "%eth0" may be used.

Parameters

iface	Interface desciptor name
info	Information on the interface

PStringArray PInterfaceMonitor::GetInterfaces	(	bool	includeLoopBack = `false`,
		const PIPSocket::Address &	destination = `PIPSocket::GetDefaultIpAny()`
	)

Get an array of all current interface descriptors, possibly including the loopback (127.0.0.1) interface.

Note the names are of the form ipname, eg "10.0.1.11%3Com 3C90x Ethernet Adapter" or "192.168.0.10%eth0"

Parameters

includeLoopBack	Flag for if loopback is to included in list
destination	Optional destination for selecting specific interface

bool PInterfaceMonitor::HasInterfaceFilter ( ) const

inline

References m_interfaceFilter.

static bool PInterfaceMonitor::IsMatchingInterface	(	const PString &	iface,
		const InterfaceEntry &	entry
	)

static

Returns whether the descriptor string equals the interface entry.

Note that when searching the descriptor may be a partial match e.g. "10.0.1.11" or "%eth0" may be used.

Parameters

iface	Interface descriptor
entry	Interface entry

bool PInterfaceMonitor::IsValidBindingForDestination	(	const PIPSocket::Address &	binding,
		const PIPSocket::Address &	destination
	)

Returns whether destination is reachable through binding or not.

The default behaviour returns true unless there is an interface filter installed an the filter does not return binding among it's interfaces.

Parameters

binding	Interface binding to test
destination	Destination to test against the `binding`

virtual void PInterfaceMonitor::OnInterfacesChanged	(	const PIPSocket::InterfaceTable &	addedInterfaces,
		const PIPSocket::InterfaceTable &	removedInterfaces
	)

protectedvirtual

virtual void PInterfaceMonitor::OnShutdown ( )

protectedvirtual

Reimplemented from PProcessStartup.

PInterfaceMonitor::PFACTORY_GET_SINGLETON	(	PProcessStartupFactory	,
		PInterfaceMonitor
	)

Return the singleton interface for the network monitor.

virtual void PInterfaceMonitor::RefreshInterfaceList ( )

protectedvirtual

void PInterfaceMonitor::RemoveNotifier ( const Notifier & notifier )

Parameters

notifier Notifier to be called by interface monitor

void PInterfaceMonitor::SetInterfaceFilter ( PInterfaceFilter * filter )

Sets the monitor's interface filter.

Note that the monitor instance handles deletion of the filter.

void PInterfaceMonitor::SetRefreshInterval ( unsigned refresh )

Change the refresh interval.

void PInterfaceMonitor::SetRunMonitorThread ( bool runMonitorThread )

Change whether the monitor thread should run.

void PInterfaceMonitor::Start ( )

Start monitoring network interfaces.

If the monitoring thread is already running, then this will cause an refresh of the interface list as soon as possible. Note that this will happen asynchronously.

void PInterfaceMonitor::Stop ( )

Stop monitoring network interfaces.

void PInterfaceMonitor::UpdateThreadMain ( )
