Detailed Description

Abstract socket class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual ~Socket (  ) [virtual]

Destroy a socket.

Closes socket if the socket is still open

Definition at line 38 of file Socket.h.


Member Function Documentation

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

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:
funcFunction to call on state change
int bind ( uint16_t  port )

Bind a specific address to a socket.

Binding a socket specifies the address and port on which to recieve data.

Parameters:
portLocal port to bind
Returns:
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Definition at line 72 of file Socket.cpp.

int bind ( const char *  address,
uint16_t  port 
)

Bind a specific address to a socket.

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

Parameters:
addressNull-terminated local address to bind
portLocal port to bind
Returns:
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Definition at line 79 of file Socket.cpp.

int bind ( const SocketAddress address )

Bind a specific address to a socket.

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

Parameters:
addressLocal address to bind
Returns:
0 on success, negative error code on failure.

Definition at line 86 of file Socket.cpp.

int close ( void   )

Close the socket.

Closes any open connection and deallocates any memory associated with the socket. Called from destructor if socket is not closed.

Returns:
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 52 of file Socket.cpp.

MBED_DEPRECATED_SINCE ( "mbed-os-5.1"  ,
"The attach function does not support cv-qualifiers. Replaced by ""attach(callback(obj, method))."   
)

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:
objPointer to object to call method on
methodMethod to call on state change
int open ( NetworkStack stack )

Opens a socket.

Creates a network socket on the network stack of the given network interface. Not needed if stack is passed to the socket's constructor.

Parameters:
stackNetwork stack as target for socket
Returns:
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 27 of file Socket.cpp.

void set_blocking ( bool  blocking )

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 can not continue.

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

Parameters:
blockingtrue for blocking mode, false for non-blocking mode.

Definition at line 101 of file Socket.cpp.

void set_timeout ( int  timeout )

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 give the socket an unbounded timeout.

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

Parameters:
timeoutTimeout in milliseconds
