NAME¶
ost::TCPSocket - TCP sockets are used for stream based connected sessions between two sockets.
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <socket.h>
Inherits ost::Socket.
Public Member Functions¶
virtual bool onAccept (const IPV4Host &ia,
tpport_t port)
A method to call in a derived TCPSocket class that is acting as a
server when a connection request is being accepted. SOCKET

&bind, tpport_t port, unsigned backlog=5, unsigned mss=536)
A TCP 'server' is created as a TCP socket that is bound to a hardware address
and port number on the local machine and that has a backlog queue to listen
for remote connection requests. TCPSocket (const char *name, unsigned
backlog=5, unsigned mss=536)
Create a named tcp socket by service and/or interface id. IPV4Host
getRequest (tpport_t *port=NULL) const
Return address and port of next connection request. void reject (void)
Used to reject the next incoming connection request. IPV4Host

Detailed Description¶
TCP sockets are used for stream based connected sessions between two sockets.
Both error recovery and flow control operate transparently for a TCP socket connection. The TCP socket base class is primary used to bind a TCP 'server' for accepting TCP streams.
An implicit and unique TCPSocket object exists in Common C++ to represent a bound TCP socket acting as a 'server' for receiving connection requests. This class is not part of TCPStream because such objects normally perform no physical I/O (read or write operations) other than to specify a listen backlog queue and perform 'accept' operations for pending connections. The Common C++ TCPSocket offers a Peek method to examine where the next pending connection is coming from, and a Reject method to flush the next request from the queue without having to create a session.
The TCPSocket also supports a 'OnAccept' method which can be called when a TCPStream related object is created from a TCPSocket. By creating a TCPStream from a TCPSocket, an accept operation automatically occurs, and the TCPSocket can then still reject the client connection through the return status of it's OnAccept method.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation¶
ost::TCPSocket::TCPSocket (const IPV4Address & bind, tpport_t port, unsigned backlog = 5, unsigned mss = 536)¶
A TCP 'server' is created as a TCP socket that is bound to a hardware address and port number on the local machine and that has a backlog queue to listen for remote connection requests. If the server cannot be created, an exception is thrown.
Parameters
port number to bind socket under.
backlog size of connection request queue.
mss maximum segment size for accepted streams.
ost::TCPSocket::TCPSocket (const char * name, unsigned backlog = 5, unsigned mss = 536)¶
Create a named tcp socket by service and/or interface id. For IPV4 we use [host:]svc or [host/]svc for the string. If we have getaddrinfo, we use that to obtain the addr to bind for.
Parameters
backlog size of connection request queue.
mss maximum segment size for streaming buffers.
virtual ost::TCPSocket::~TCPSocket () [virtual]¶
Use base socket handler for ending this socket.
Member Function Documentation¶
IPV4Host ost::TCPSocket::getLocal (tpport_t * port = NULL) const [inline]¶
Used to get local bound address.
References ost::Socket::getIPV4Local().
IPV4Host ost::TCPSocket::getRequest (tpport_t * port = NULL) const [inline]¶
Return address and port of next connection request. This can be used instead of OnAccept() to pre-evaluate connection requests.
Returns
Parameters
References ost::Socket::getIPV4Sender().
int ost::TCPSocket::getSegmentSize (void) [inline]¶
Get the buffer size for servers.
SOCKET ost::TCPSocket::getSocket (void) [inline]¶
Fetch out the socket.
bool ost::TCPSocket::isPendingConnection (timeout_t timeout = TIMEOUT_INF) [inline]¶
Used to wait for pending connection requests.
Returns
Parameters
Examples
tcpstr1.cpp, and tcpthread.cpp.
References ost::Socket::isPending(), and ost::Socket::pendingInput.
virtual bool ost::TCPSocket::onAccept (const IPV4Host & ia, tpport_t port) [virtual]¶
A method to call in a derived TCPSocket class that is acting as a server when a connection request is being accepted. The server can implement protocol specific rules to exclude the remote socket from being accepted by returning false. The Peek method can also be used for this purpose.
Returns
Parameters
port number of the client.
void ost::TCPSocket::reject (void)¶
Used to reject the next incoming connection request.
