Constructor & Destructor Documentation

UDPSocket (  )

Create an uninitialized socket.

Must call open to initialize the socket on a network stack.

Definition at line 21 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

UDPSocket ( S *  stack )

Create a socket on a network interface.

Creates and opens a socket on the network stack of the given network interface.

Parameters:
stackNetwork stack as target for socket

Definition at line 47 of file UDPSocket.h.

~UDPSocket (  ) [virtual]

Destroy a socket.

Closes socket if the socket is still open

Definition at line 27 of file UDPSocket.cpp.


Member Function Documentation

void attach ( mbed::Callback< void()>  func ) [inherited]

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 ) [inherited]

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 
) [inherited]

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 ) [inherited]

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   ) [inherited]

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))."   
) [inherited]

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 ) [inherited]

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.

int recvfrom ( SocketAddress address,
void *  data,
unsigned  size 
)

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.

By default, recvfrom blocks until data is sent. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned immediately.

Parameters:
addressDestination for the source address or NULL
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 95 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

int sendto ( const SocketAddress address,
const void *  data,
unsigned  size 
)

Send a packet over a UDP socket.

Sends data to the specified address. Returns the number of bytes sent from the buffer.

By default, sendto blocks until data is sent. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned immediately.

Parameters:
addressThe SocketAddress of the remote host
dataBuffer of data to send to the host
sizeSize of the buffer in bytes
Returns:
Number of sent bytes on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 51 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

int sendto ( const char *  host,
uint16_t  port,
const void *  data,
unsigned  size 
)

Send a packet over a UDP socket.

Sends data to the specified address specified by either a domain name or an IP address and port. Returns the number of bytes sent from the buffer.

By default, sendto blocks until data is sent. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned immediately.

Parameters:
hostHostname of the remote host
portPort of the remote host
dataBuffer of data to send to the host
sizeSize of the buffer in bytes
Returns:
Number of sent bytes on success, negative error code on failure

Definition at line 37 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

void set_blocking ( bool  blocking ) [inherited]

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 ) [inherited]

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
