Detailed Description

Common interface that is shared between cellular interfaces.

Definition at line 29 of file CellularInterface.h.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef mbed::Callback<void (nsapi_error_t result, SocketAddress *address)> hostbyname_cb_t
inherited

Hostname translation callback (for use with gethostbyname_async()).

Callback will be called after DNS resolution completes or a failure occurs.

Note
Callback should not take more than 10ms to execute, otherwise it might prevent underlying thread processing. A portable user of the callback should not make calls to network operations due to stack size limitations. The callback should not perform expensive operations such as socket recv/send calls or blocking operations.
Parameters
resultNSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.
addressOn success, destination for the host SocketAddress.

Definition at line 249 of file NetworkInterface.h.

Member Function Documentation

virtual nsapi_error_t add_dns_server ( const SocketAddress address,
const char *  interface_name 
)
virtualinherited

Add a domain name server to list of servers to query.

Parameters
addressAddress for the dns host.
Returns
NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.

Implements DNS.

void add_event_listener ( mbed::Callback< void(nsapi_event_t, intptr_t)>  status_cb)
inherited

Add event listener for interface.

This API allows multiple callback to be registered for a single interface. When first called, internal list of event handlers are created and registered to interface through attach() API.

Application may only use attach() or add_event_listener() interface. Mixing usage of both leads to undefined behavior.

Parameters
status_cbThe callback for status changes.
virtual void attach ( mbed::Callback< void(nsapi_event_t, intptr_t)>  status_cb)
virtualinherited

Register callback for status reporting.

The specified status callback function will be called on status changes on the network. The parameters on the callback are the event type and event-type dependent reason parameter. Only one callback can be registered at a time.

To unregister a callback call with status_cb parameter as a zero.

NOTE: Any callbacks registered with this function will be overwritten if add_event_listener() API is used.

Parameters
status_cbThe callback for status changes.

Reimplemented in EMACInterface, CellularContext, InterfaceNanostack, L3IPInterface, PPPInterface, and AT_CellularContext.

virtualinherited

Return pointer to an EthInterface.

Returns
Pointer to requested interface type or NULL if this class doesn't implement the interface.

virtual nsapi_connection_status_t get_connection_status ( ) const
virtualinherited

Get the connection status.

Returns
The connection status (
See also
nsapi_types.h).

Reimplemented in EMACInterface, InterfaceNanostack, L3IPInterface, PPPInterface, and AT_CellularContext.

virtual char* get_interface_name ( char *  interface_name)
virtualinherited

Get the network interface name.

Returns
Null-terminated representation of the network interface name or null if interface not exists

Reimplemented in EMACInterface, L3IPInterface, PPPInterface, and AT_CellularContext.

virtual nsapi_error_t get_ipv6_link_local_address ( SocketAddress address)
virtualinherited

Get the IPv6 link local address.

Parameters
addressSocketAddress representation of the link local IPv6 address
Return values
NSAPI_ERROR_OKon success
NSAPI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTEDif this feature is not supported
NSAPI_ERROR_PARAMETERif the provided pointer is invalid

Reimplemented in EMACInterface.

virtual const char* get_mac_address ( )
virtualinherited

Get the local MAC address.

Provided MAC address is intended for info or debug purposes and may be not provided if the underlying network interface does not provide a MAC address.

Returns
Null-terminated representation of the local MAC address or null if no MAC address is available.

Reimplemented in InterfaceNanostack, and EMACInterface.

virtual nsapi_error_t gethostbyname ( const char *  host,
SocketAddress address,
nsapi_version_t  version = NSAPI_UNSPEC,
const char *  interface_name = NULL 
)
virtualinherited

Translate a hostname to an IP address with specific version using network interface name.

The hostname may be either a domain name or an IP address. If the hostname is an IP address, no network transactions will be performed.

If no stack-specific DNS resolution is provided, the hostname will be resolve using a UDP socket on the stack.

Parameters
hostHostname to resolve.
addressPointer to a SocketAddress to store the result.
versionIP version of address to resolve, NSAPI_UNSPEC indicates version is chosen by the stack (defaults to NSAPI_UNSPEC).
interface_nameNetwork interface name
Returns
NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.

Implements DNS.

virtual nsapi_value_or_error_t gethostbyname_async ( const char *  host,
hostbyname_cb_t  callback,
nsapi_version_t  version = NSAPI_UNSPEC,
const char *  interface_name = NULL 
)
virtualinherited

Translate a hostname to an IP address (asynchronous) using network interface name.

The hostname may be either a domain name or a dotted IP address. If the hostname is an IP address, no network transactions will be performed.

If no stack-specific DNS resolution is provided, the hostname will be resolve using a UDP socket on the stack.

Call is non-blocking. Result of the DNS operation is returned by the callback. If this function returns failure, callback will not be called. In case result is success (IP address was found from DNS cache), callback will be called before function returns.

Parameters
hostHostname to resolve.
callbackCallback that is called for result.
versionIP version of address to resolve, NSAPI_UNSPEC indicates version is chosen by the stack (defaults to NSAPI_UNSPEC).
interface_nameNetwork interface name
Returns
0 on immediate success, negative error code on immediate failure or a positive unique id that represents the hostname translation operation and can be passed to cancel.

Implements DNS.

virtual nsapi_error_t gethostbyname_async_cancel ( int  id)
virtualinherited

Cancel asynchronous hostname translation.

When translation is cancelled, callback will not be called.

Parameters
idUnique id of the hostname translation operation (returned by gethostbyname_async)
Returns
NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.

Implements DNS.

virtual MeshInterface* meshInterface ( )

Reimplemented in EMACInterface, L3IPInterface, and PPPInterface.

virtual nsapi_error_t set_blocking ( bool  blocking)

NSAPI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED if driver does not support asynchronous mode.
negative error code on failure.
