Member Typedef Documentation

typedef mbed::Callback<void (nsapi_value_or_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
resultNegative error code on failure or value that represents the number of DNS records
addressOn success, destination for the host SocketAddress.

Definition at line 284 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.

Warning
This version of the function does not use the std::nothrow feature. Subsequently, the function may fail to allocate memory and cause a system error. To use the new version with the changes, set "nsapi.add-event-listener-return-change": 1 in the target overrides section in your mbed_app.json file.
Parameters
status_cbThe callback for status changes.
virtual void attach ( mbed::Callback< void(nsapi_event_t, intptr_t)>  status_cb)
virtual

Register callback for status reporting.

The specified status callback function is called on the network, and the cellular device status changes. The parameters on the callback are the event type and event type dependent reason parameter.

Remarks
deleting CellularDevice/CellularContext in callback is not allowed.
Allocating/adding lots of traces not recommended as callback is called mostly from State machines thread which is now 2048. You can change to main thread for example via EventQueue.
Parameters
status_cbThe callback for status changes.

Implements CellularContext.

virtual nsapi_error_t attach_to_network ( )
virtual
