Closes socket if the socket is still open

Member Function Documentation

nsapi_error_t accept	(	TCPSocket *	connection,
		SocketAddress *	address = `NULL`
	)

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 using the specified socket instance.

By default, accept blocks until data is sent. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned immediately.

Parameters

connection	TCPSocket instance that will handle the incoming connection.
address	Destination for the remote address or NULL

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure

virtual TCPSocket* accept ( nsapi_error_t * error = NULL )

virtualinherited

Accepts a connection on a socket.

The server socket must be bound and set to listen for connections. On a new connection, returns connected network socket which user is expected to call close() and that deallocates the resources. Referencing a returned pointer after a close() call is not allowed and leads to undefined behavior.

By default, accept blocks until incoming connection occurs. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, error is set to NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK.

Parameters

error pointer to storage of the error value or NULL

Returns: pointer to a socket

Implements Socket.

void attach ( mbed::Callback< void()> func )

inherited

Register a callback on state change of the socket.

See also: Socket::sigio

Deprecated:: The behavior of Socket::attach differs from other attach functions in Mbed OS and has been known to cause confusion. Replaced by Socket::sigio.

void attach	(	T *	obj,
		M	method
	)

inherited

Register a callback on state change of the socket.

See also: Socket::sigio

Deprecated:: The attach function does not support cv-qualifiers. Replaced by attach(callback(obj, method)).

Definition at line 149 of file InternetSocket.h.

nsapi_error_t bind ( uint16_t port )

inherited

Bind the socket to a port on which to receive data.

Parameters

port	Local port to bind.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure (

See also: nsapi_types.h).

nsapi_error_t bind	(	const char *	address,
		uint16_t	port
	)

inherited

Bind the socket to a specific address and port on which to receive data.

If the IP address is zeroed, only the port is bound.

Parameters

address	Null-terminated local address to bind.
port	Local port to bind.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure (

See also: nsapi_types.h).

virtual nsapi_error_t bind ( const SocketAddress & address )

virtualinherited

Bind a specific address to a socket.

Binding a socket specifies the address and port on which to receive data. If the IP address is zeroed, only the port is bound.

Parameters

Implements Socket.

virtual nsapi_error_t getpeername ( SocketAddress * address )

virtualinherited

Get the remote-end peer associated with this socket.

Copy the remote peer address to a SocketAddress structure pointed by address parameter. Socket must be connected to have a peer address associated.

Parameters

virtualinherited

Get socket options.

getsockopt() allows an application to retrieve stack-specific options from the underlying stack using stack-specific level and option names, or to request generic options using levels from nsapi_socket_level_t.

For unsupported options, NSAPI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED is returned and the socket is unmodified.

Parameters

level	Stack-specific protocol level or nsapi_socket_level_t.
optname	Level-specific option name.
optval	Destination for option value.
optlen	Length of the option value.

Returns: NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.

Parameters

address Multicast group IP address.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure (

See also: nsapi_types.h).

virtual nsapi_error_t listen ( int backlog = 1 )

virtualinherited

Listen for incoming connections.

Marks the socket as a passive socket that can be used to accept incoming connections.

Parameters

backlog Number of pending connections that can be queued simultaneously, defaults to 1

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure

Implements Socket.

nsapi_error_t open ( NetworkStack * stack )

inherited

Open a network socket on the network stack of the given network interface.

Note: Not needed if stack is passed to the socket's constructor.

Parameters

stack Network stack as target for socket.

Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on failure (

See also: nsapi_types.h).

virtual nsapi_size_or_error_t recv	(	void *	data,
		nsapi_size_t	size
	)

virtualinherited

Receive data over a TCP socket.

The socket must be connected to a remote host. Returns the number of bytes received into the buffer.

By default, recv blocks until some data is received. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK can be returned to indicate no data.

Parameters

data	Destination buffer for data received from the host
size	Size of the buffer in bytes

Returns: Number of received bytes on success, negative error code on failure. If no data is available to be received and the peer has performed an orderly shutdown, recv() returns 0.

Implements Socket.

virtual nsapi_size_or_error_t recvfrom	(	SocketAddress *	address,
		void *	data,
		nsapi_size_t	size
	)

virtualinherited

Receive a data from a socket.

Receives a data and stores the source address in address if address is not NULL. Returns the number of bytes written into the buffer.

By default, recvfrom blocks until a data is received. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out with no datagram, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned.

Parameters

address	Destination for the source address or NULL
data	Destination buffer for datagram received from the host
size	Size of the buffer in bytes

Returns: Number of received bytes on success, negative error code on failure

Implements Socket.

virtual nsapi_size_or_error_t send	(	const void *	data,
		nsapi_size_t	size
	)

virtualinherited

Send data over a TCP socket.

The socket must be connected to a remote host. Returns the number of bytes sent from the buffer.

By default, send blocks until all data is sent. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, a partial amount can be written. NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned if no data was written.

Parameters

data	Buffer of data to send to the host
size	Size of the buffer in bytes

Returns: Number of sent bytes on success, negative error code on failure

Implements Socket.

virtual nsapi_size_or_error_t sendto	(	const SocketAddress &	address,
		const void *	data,
		nsapi_size_t	size
	)

virtualinherited

Send data on a socket.

TCP socket is connection oriented protocol, so address is ignored.

By default, sendto blocks until data is sent. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned immediately.

Parameters

address	Remote address
data	Buffer of data to send to the host
size	Size of the buffer in bytes

Returns: Number of sent bytes on success, negative error code on failure

Implements Socket.

virtual void set_blocking ( bool blocking )

virtualinherited

Set blocking or non-blocking mode of the socket.

Initially all sockets are in blocking mode. In non-blocking mode blocking operations such as send/recv/accept return NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK if they cannot continue.

set_blocking(false) is equivalent to set_timeout(0) set_blocking(true) is equivalent to set_timeout(-1)

Parameters

blocking true for blocking mode, false for non-blocking mode.

Implements Socket.

virtual void set_timeout ( int timeout )

virtualinherited

Set timeout on blocking socket operations.

Initially all sockets have unbounded timeouts. NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned if a blocking operation takes longer than the specified timeout. A timeout of 0 removes the timeout from the socket. A negative value gives the socket an unbounded timeout.

set_timeout(0) is equivalent to set_blocking(false) set_timeout(-1) is equivalent to set_blocking(true)

Parameters

timeout Timeout in milliseconds

Implements Socket.

virtual nsapi_error_t setsockopt	(	int	level,
		int	optname,
		const void *	optval,
		unsigned	optlen
	)

virtualinherited

Set socket options.

setsockopt() allows an application to pass stack-specific options to the underlying stack using stack-specific level and option names, or to request generic options using levels from nsapi_socket_level_t.

For unsupported options, NSAPI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED is returned and the socket is unmodified.

Parameters

level	Stack-specific protocol level or nsapi_socket_level_t.
optname	Level-specific option name.
optval	Option value.
optlen	Length of the option value.

Returns: NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.

Implements Socket.

virtual void sigio ( mbed::Callback< void()> func )

virtualinherited

Register a callback on state change of the socket.

The specified callback is called on state changes, such as when the socket can receive/send/accept successfully and 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 receive/send calls.

Note! This is not intended as a replacement for a poll or attach-like asynchronous API, but rather as a building block for constructing such functionality. The exact timing of the registered function is not guaranteed and susceptible to change.

Parameters

func	Function to call on state change.

Implements Socket.
