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

status	NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure
address	On success, destination for the host SocketAddress

Definition at line 90 of file NetworkStack.h.

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

Parameters

address	Destination for the host address
interface_name	Network interface name

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure

Implements DNS.

Register a network interface with the IP stack.

Connects EMAC layer with the IP stack and initializes all the required infrastructure. This function should be called only once for each available interface. EMAC memory manager is available to EMAC after this function call.

Parameters

	emac	EMAC HAL implementation for this network interface
	default_if	true if the interface should be treated as the default one
[out]	interface_out	pointer to stack interface object controlling the EMAC

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, or error code

Implemented in EmacTestNetworkStack, and Nanostack.

Return the default on-board network stack.

Returns the default on-board network stack, as configured by JSON option nsapi.default-stack.

Get a domain name server from a list of servers to query.

Returns a DNS server address for a index. If returns error no more DNS servers to read.

Parameters

index	Index of the DNS server, starts from zero
address	Destination for the host address
interface_name	Network interface name

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure

Get the local IP address.

Returns

Null-terminated representation of the local IP address or null if not yet connected

Reimplemented in Nanostack, and AT_CellularStack.

Get the local IP address on interface name.

Parameters

interface_name

Network interface_name

Returns

Null-terminated representation of the local IP address or null if not yet connected

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

host	Hostname to resolve
address	Pointer to a SocketAddress to store the result.
version	IP version of address to resolve, NSAPI_UNSPEC indicates version is chosen by the stack (defaults to NSAPI_UNSPEC)
interface_name	Network interface_name

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure

Implements DNS.

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

host	Hostname to resolve
callback	Callback that is called for result
version	IP version of address to resolve, NSAPI_UNSPEC indicates version is chosen by the stack (defaults to NSAPI_UNSPEC)
interface_name	Network 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

id	Unique id of the hostname translation operation

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure

Implements DNS.

Get stack-specific socket options.

The getstackopt allow an application to retrieve stack-specific hints from the underlying stack. For unsupported options, NSAPI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED is returned and optval is unmodified.

Parameters

handle	Socket handle.
level	Stack-specific protocol level.
optname	Stack-specific option identifier.
optval	Destination for option value.
optlen	Length of the option value.

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.

Reimplemented in EmacTestNetworkStack, and Nanostack.

Dynamic downcast to a OnboardNetworkStack.

Definition at line 179 of file NetworkStack.h.

Set stack-specific socket options.

The setsockopt allow an application to pass stack-specific hints to the underlying stack. For unsupported options, NSAPI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED is returned and the socket is unmodified.

Parameters

handle	Socket handle.
level	Stack-specific protocol level.
optname	Stack-specific option identifier.
optval	Option value.
optlen	Length of the option value.

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.

Reimplemented in EmacTestNetworkStack, and Nanostack.

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

server	Socket handle to server to accept from
handle	Destination for a handle to the newly created socket
address	Destination for the remote address or NULL

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure

Implemented in EmacTestNetworkStack, Nanostack, and AT_CellularStack.

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

handle	Socket handle
callback	Function to call on state change
data	Argument to pass to callback

Implemented in EmacTestNetworkStack, Nanostack, and AT_CellularStack.

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

address	Local address to bind

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.
