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

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

Definition at line 219 of file NetworkInterface.h.

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

Parameters

address

Address for the dns host.

Returns

NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.

Implements DNS.

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.

Parameters

status_cb

The callback for status changes.

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_cb

The callback for status changes.

Implements CellularContext.
