Detailed Description
TCP socket connection.
Definition at line 31 of file TCPSocket.h.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
TCPSocket | ( | ) |
Create an uninitialized socket.
Must call open to initialize the socket on a network stack.
Definition at line 21 of file TCPSocket.cpp.
TCPSocket | ( | S * | stack ) |
Create a socket on a network interface.
Creates and opens a socket on the network stack of the given network interface.
- Parameters:
-
stack Network stack as target for socket
Definition at line 47 of file TCPSocket.h.
~TCPSocket | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Destroy a socket.
Closes socket if the socket is still open
Definition at line 25 of file TCPSocket.cpp.
Member Function Documentation
TCPSocket * accept | ( | nsapi_error_t * | error = NULL ) |
[virtual] |
Accepts a connection on a socket.
The server socket must be bound and set to listen for connections. On a new connection, returns connected network socket which user is expected to call close() and that deallocates the resources. Referencing a returned pointer after a close() call is not allowed and leads to undefined behaviour.
By default, accept blocks until incomming connection occurs. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, error is set to NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK.
- Parameters:
-
error pointer to storage of the error value or NULL
- Returns:
- pointer to a socket
Implements Socket.
Definition at line 248 of file TCPSocket.cpp.
nsapi_error_t 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 receive data. If the IP address is zeroed, only the port is bound.
- Parameters:
-
address Null-terminated local address to bind port Local port to bind
- Returns:
- 0 on success, negative error code on failure.
Definition at line 116 of file InternetSocket.cpp.
nsapi_error_t bind | ( | const SocketAddress & | address ) | [virtual, inherited] |
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:
-
address Local address to bind
- Returns:
- 0 on success, negative error code on failure.
Implements Socket.
Definition at line 123 of file InternetSocket.cpp.
nsapi_error_t bind | ( | uint16_t | port ) | [inherited] |
Bind a specific address to a socket.
Binding a socket specifies the address and port on which to receive data.
- Parameters:
-
port Local port to bind
- Returns:
- 0 on success, negative error code on failure.
Definition at line 109 of file InternetSocket.cpp.
nsapi_error_t close | ( | void | ) | [virtual, inherited] |

nsapi_error_t 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:
-
stack Network stack as target for socket
- Returns:
- 0 on success, negative error code on failure
Definition at line 29 of file InternetSocket.cpp.
nsapi_size_or_error_t recv | ( | void * | data, |
nsapi_size_t | size | ||
) | [virtual] |
Receive data over a TCP socket.
The socket must be connected to a remote host. Returns the number of bytes received into the buffer.
By default, recv blocks until some data is received. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK can be returned to indicate no data.
- Parameters:
-
data Destination buffer for data received from the host size Size of the buffer in bytes
- Returns:
- Number of received bytes on success, negative error code on failure. If no data is available to be received and the peer has performed an orderly shutdown, recv() returns 0.
Implements Socket.
Definition at line 178 of file TCPSocket.cpp.
nsapi_size_or_error_t recvfrom | ( | SocketAddress * | address, |
void * | data, | ||
nsapi_size_t | size | ||
) | [virtual] |
Receive a data from a socket.
Receives a data and stores the source address in address if address is not NULL. Returns the number of bytes written into the buffer.
By default, recvfrom blocks until a data is received. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out with no datagram, NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned.
- Parameters:
-
address Destination for the source address or NULL data Destination buffer for datagram received from the host size Size of the buffer in bytes
- Returns:
- Number of received bytes on success, negative error code on failure
Implements Socket.
Definition at line 225 of file TCPSocket.cpp.
nsapi_size_or_error_t send | ( | const void * | data, |
nsapi_size_t | size | ||
) | [virtual] |
Send data over a TCP socket.
The socket must be connected to a remote host. Returns the number of bytes sent from the buffer.
By default, send blocks until all data is sent. If socket is set to non-blocking or times out, a partial amount can be written. NSAPI_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned if no data was written.
- Parameters:
-
data Buffer of data to send to the host size Size of the buffer in bytes
- Returns:
- Number of sent bytes on success, negative error code on failure
Implements Socket.
Definition at line 107 of file TCPSocket.cpp.
nsapi_size_or_error_t sendto | ( | const SocketAddress & | address, |
const void * | data, | ||
nsapi_size_t | size | ||
) | [virtual] |
Send data on a socket.
TCP socket is connection oriented protocol, so address is ignored.
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:
-
address Remote address data Buffer of data to send to the host size Size of the buffer in bytes
- Returns:
- Number of sent bytes on success, negative error code on failure
Implements Socket.
Definition at line 172 of file TCPSocket.cpp.
void set_blocking | ( | bool | blocking ) | [virtual, 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:
-
blocking true for blocking mode, false for non-blocking mode.
Implements Socket.
Definition at line 138 of file InternetSocket.cpp.
void set_timeout | ( | int | timeout ) | [virtual, 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:
-
timeout Timeout in milliseconds
Implements Socket.
Definition at line 144 of file InternetSocket.cpp.
virtual void sigio | ( | mbed::Callback< void()> | func ) | [virtual, 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.
Note! This is not intended as a replacement for a poll or attach-like asynchronous api, but rather as a building block for constructing such functionality. The exact timing of when the registered function is called is not guaranteed and susceptible to change.
- Parameters:
-
func Function to call on state change
Implements Socket.
