Detailed Description

A socket that uses the TCP transport on the Internet Protocol.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( WORD  port = 0  ) 

Create a TCP/IP protocol socket channel. If a remote machine address or a "listening" socket is specified then the channel is also opened.

Note that what looks like a "copy" constructor here is really a the accept of a "listening" socket the same as the PSocket & parameter version constructor.

Parameters:
port  Port number to use for the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( const PString service  ) 

Parameters:
service  Service name to use for the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( const PString address,
WORD  port 
)

Parameters:
address  Address of remote machine to connect to.
port  Port number to use for the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( const PString address,
const PString service 
)

Parameters:
address  Address of remote machine to connect to.
service  Service name to use for the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( PSocket socket  ) 

Parameters:
socket  Listening socket making the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( PTCPSocket tcpSocket  ) 

Parameters:
tcpSocket  Listening socket making the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( WORD  port = 0  ) 

Create a TCP/IP protocol socket channel. If a remote machine address or a "listening" socket is specified then the channel is also opened.

Note that what looks like a "copy" constructor here is really a the accept of a "listening" socket the same as the PSocket & parameter version constructor.

Parameters:
port  Port number to use for the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( const PString service  ) 

Parameters:
service  Service name to use for the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( const PString address,
WORD  port 
)

Parameters:
address  Address of remote machine to connect to.
port  Port number to use for the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( const PString address,
const PString service 
)

Parameters:
address  Address of remote machine to connect to.
service  Service name to use for the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( PSocket socket  ) 

Parameters:
socket  Listening socket making the connection.

PTCPSocket::PTCPSocket ( PTCPSocket tcpSocket  ) 

Parameters:
tcpSocket  Listening socket making the connection.


Member Function Documentation

virtual PObject* PTCPSocket::Clone (  )  const [virtual]

Create a copy of the class on the heap. The exact semantics of the descendent class determine what is required to make a duplicate of the instance. Not all classes can even { do} a clone operation.

The main user of the clone function is the PDictionary# class as it requires copies of the dictionary keys.

The default behaviour is for this function to assert.

Returns:
pointer to new copy of the class instance.

Reimplemented from PObject.

Reimplemented in PSocks4Socket, and PSocks5Socket.

virtual PBoolean PTCPSocket::Write ( const void *  buf,
PINDEX  len 
) [virtual]

Low level write to the channel. This function will block until the requested number of characters are written or the write timeout is reached. The GetLastWriteCount() function returns the actual number of bytes written.

The GetErrorCode() function should be consulted after Write() returns PFalse to determine what caused the failure.

This override repeatedly writes if there is no error until all of the requested bytes have been written.

Returns:
PTrue if at least len bytes were written to the channel.
Parameters:
buf  Pointer to a block of memory to write.
len  Number of bytes to write.

Reimplemented from PChannel.

Reimplemented in PTelnetSocket.

virtual PBoolean PTCPSocket::Listen ( unsigned  queueSize = 5,
WORD  port = 0,
Reusability  reuse = AddressIsExclusive 
) [virtual]

Listen on a socket for a remote host on the specified port number. This may be used for server based applications. A "connecting" socket begins a connection by initiating a connection to this socket. An active socket of this type is then used to generate other "accepting" sockets which establish a two way communications channel with the "connecting" socket.

If the port# parameter is zero then the port number as defined by the object instance construction or the PIPSocket::SetPort()# function.

Returns:
PTrue if the channel was successfully opened.
Parameters:
queueSize  Number of pending accepts that may be queued.
port  Port number to use for the connection.
reuse  Can/Can't listen more than once.

Reimplemented from PIPSocket.

Reimplemented in PSocksSocket.

virtual PBoolean PTCPSocket::Listen ( const Address &  bind,
unsigned  queueSize = 5,
WORD  port = 0,
Reusability  reuse = AddressIsExclusive 
) [virtual]

Parameters:
bind  Local interface address to bind to.
queueSize  Number of pending accepts that may be queued.
port  Port number to use for the connection.
reuse  Can/Can't listen more than once.

virtual PBoolean PTCPSocket::Accept ( PSocket socket  )  [virtual]

Open a socket to a remote host on the specified port number. This is an "accepting" socket. When a "listening" socket has a pending connection to make, this will accept a connection made by the "connecting" socket created to establish a link.

The port that the socket uses is the one used in the Listen()# command of the socket# parameter.

Note that this function will block until a remote system connects to the port number specified in the "listening" socket.

Returns:
PTrue if the channel was successfully opened.
Parameters:
socket  Listening socket making the connection.

Reimplemented from PSocket.

Reimplemented in PSocksSocket, and PTelnetSocket.

virtual PBoolean PTCPSocket::WriteOutOfBand ( const void *  buf,
PINDEX  len 
) [virtual]

Write out of band data from the TCP/IP stream. This data is sent as TCP URGENT data which does not follow the usual stream sequencing of the normal channel data.

This is subject to the write timeout and sets the lastWriteCount# member variable in the same way as usual PChannel::Write()# function.

Returns:
PTrue if all the bytes were sucessfully written.
Parameters:
buf  Data to be written as URGENT TCP data.
len  Number of bytes pointed to by buf#.

virtual void PTCPSocket::OnOutOfBand ( const void *  buf,
PINDEX  len 
) [virtual]

This is callback function called by the system whenever out of band data from the TCP/IP stream is received. A descendent class may interpret this data according to the semantics of the high level protocol.

The default behaviour is for the out of band data to be ignored.

Parameters:
buf  Data to be received as URGENT TCP data.
len  Number of bytes pointed to by buf#.

Reimplemented in PTelnetSocket.

virtual PBoolean PTCPSocket::OpenSocket (  )  [protected, virtual]

Implements PSocket.

virtual PBoolean PTCPSocket::OpenSocket ( int  ipAdressFamily  )  [protected, virtual]

Implements PIPSocket.

virtual const char* PTCPSocket::GetProtocolName (  )  const [protected, virtual]

This function returns the protocol name for the socket type.

Implements PSocket.

virtual PBoolean PTCPSocket::Read ( void *  buf,
PINDEX  len 
) [virtual]

Low level read from the channel. This function may block until the requested number of characters were read or the read timeout was reached. The GetLastReadCount() function returns the actual number of bytes read.

The GetErrorCode() function should be consulted after Read() returns PFalse to determine what caused the failure.

Returns:
PTrue indicates that at least one character was read from the channel. PFalse means no bytes were read due to timeout or some other I/O error.

Reimplemented from PSocket.

Reimplemented in PTelnetSocket.
