Detailed Description

nsapi_stack_api structure

Common api structure for network stack operations. A network stack can provide a nsapi_stack_api structure filled out with the appropriate implementation.

Unsupported operations can be left as null pointers.

nsapi_error_t(* add_dns_server) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, nsapi_addr_t addr)

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

Parameters
addrDestination for the host address
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 364 of file nsapi_types.h.

nsapi_addr_t(* get_ip_address) (nsapi_stack_t *stack)

Get the local IP address.

Parameters
stackStack handle

Local IP Address or null address if not connected

Definition at line 341 of file nsapi_types.h.

nsapi_error_t(* gethostbyname) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, const char *host, nsapi_addr_t *addr, nsapi_version_t version)

Translates a hostname to an IP address.

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.

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

nsapi_error_t(* socket_accept) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, nsapi_socket_t server, nsapi_socket_t *socket, nsapi_addr_t *addr, uint16_t *port)

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
stackStack handle
serverSocket handle to server to accept from
socketDestination for a handle to the newly created socket
addrDestination for the address of the remote host
portDestination for the port of the remote host
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 486 of file nsapi_types.h.

void(* socket_attach) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, nsapi_socket_t socket, void(*callback)(void *), void *data)

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
stackStack handle
socketSocket handle
callbackFunction to call on state change
dataArgument to pass to callback

Definition at line 579 of file nsapi_types.h.

nsapi_error_t(* socket_bind) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, nsapi_socket_t socket, nsapi_addr_t addr, uint16_t port)

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
stackStack handle
socketSocket handle
addrLocal address to bind, may be null
portLocal port to bind
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Definition at line 436 of file nsapi_types.h.

nsapi_error_t(* socket_close) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, nsapi_socket_t socket)

Close the socket.

Closes any open connection and deallocates any memory associated with the socket.

Parameters
stackStack handle
socketSocket handle
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 423 of file nsapi_types.h.

nsapi_error_t(* socket_connect) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, nsapi_socket_t socket, nsapi_addr_t addr, uint16_t port)

Connects TCP socket to a remote host.

Initiates a connection to a remote server specified by the indicated address.

Parameters
stackStack handle
socketSocket handle
addrThe address of the remote host
portThe port of the remote host
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 463 of file nsapi_types.h.

nsapi_error_t(* socket_listen) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, nsapi_socket_t socket, int backlog)

Listen for connections on a TCP socket.

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

Parameters
stackStack handle
socketSocket handle
backlogNumber of pending connections that can be queued simultaneously
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 450 of file nsapi_types.h.

nsapi_error_t(* socket_open) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, nsapi_socket_t *socket, nsapi_protocol_t proto)

Opens a socket.

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.

Parameters
stackStack context
socketDestination for the handle to a newly created socket
protoProtocol of socket to open, NSAPI_TCP or NSAPI_UDP
Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 411 of file nsapi_types.h.

nsapi_size_or_error_t(* socket_recv) (nsapi_stack_t *stack, nsapi_socket_t socket, void *data, nsapi_size_t size)

Receive data over a TCP socket.

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

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

Parameters
stackStack handle
socketSocket handle
dataDestination buffer for data received from the host
sizeSize of the buffer in bytes
Returns
Number of received bytes on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 522 of file nsapi_types.h.

Receive a packet over a UDP socket.

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