Detailed Description

NetworkStack class.

Common interface that is shared between hardware that can connect to a network over IP. By implementing the NetworkStack, a network stack can be used as a target for instantiating network sockets.

Member Typedef Documentation

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

Hostname translation callback (asynchronous)

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

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
statusNSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure
addressOn success, destination for the host SocketAddress

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

Translates a hostname to an IP address with specific version.

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

hostbyname_cb_t  callback,
nsapi_version_t  version = NSAPI_UNSPEC,
const char *  interface_name = NULL 
)
virtual

Translates a hostname to an IP address (asynchronous)

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.

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.

Cancels asynchronous hostname translation.

When translation is cancelled, callback will not be called.

Parameters
idUnique id of the hostname translation operation
Returns
NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure

Implements DNS.

)
protectedpure virtual

Accepts a connection on a TCP socket.

The server socket must be bound and set to listen for connections. On a new connection, creates a network socket and stores it in the specified handle. The handle must be passed to following calls on the socket.

A stack may have a finite number of sockets, in this case NSAPI_ERROR_NO_SOCKET is returned if no socket is available.

This call is non-blocking. If accept would block, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned immediately.

Parameters
serverSocket handle to server to accept from
handleDestination for a handle to the newly created socket
addressDestination for the remote address or NULL
Returns
NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure

Implemented in EmacTestNetworkStack, Nanostack, and AT_CellularStack.

virtual void socket_attach ( nsapi_socket_t  handle,
void(*)(void *)  callback,
void *  data 
)
protectedpure virtual

Register a callback on state change of the socket.

The specified callback will be called on state changes such as when the socket can recv/send/accept successfully and on when an error occurs. The callback may also be called spuriously without reason.

The callback may be called in an interrupt context and should not perform expensive operations such as recv/send calls.

Parameters
handleSocket handle
callbackFunction to call on state change
dataArgument to pass to callback

Implemented in EmacTestNetworkStack, Nanostack, and AT_CellularStack.

virtual nsapi_error_t socket_bind ( nsapi_socket_t  handle,
