Detailed Description

Base class for TCP/IP sockets.

This base class is not supposed to be directly instantiated. The two concrete subclasses of TCPSocket are:

TCPServer: A TCP/IP server socket which listens to incoming connections. This type is socket is not designed to exchange data.
TCPConnection: A TCP/IP session between a client and a server. This socket can exchange data.
- A TCP/IP client creates a TCPConnection instance and connects to a server.
- A TCP/IP server creates a TCPServer instance and waits for clients. For each client session, a TCPConnection instance is created.

Member Function Documentation

◆ setTTL()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setTTL	(	int	ttl,
		Report &	report = `((static_cast< ts::Report >(ts::CerrReport::Instance())))`
	)

Set the Time To Live (TTL) option.

Parameters

[in]	ttl	The TTL value, ie. the maximum number of "hops" between routers before an IP packet is dropped.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setNoLinger()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setNoLinger ( Report & report = (*(static_cast< ts::Report * >(ts::CerrReport::Instance()))) )

Remove the linger time option.

Parameters

[in,out] report Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setLingerTime()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setLingerTime	(	int	seconds,
		Report &	report = `((static_cast< ts::Report >(ts::CerrReport::Instance())))`
	)

Set the linger time option.

Parameters

[in]	seconds	Number of seconds to wait after shuting down the socket.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setKeepAlive()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setKeepAlive	(	bool	active,
		Report &	report = `((static_cast< ts::Report >(ts::CerrReport::Instance())))`
	)

Set the "keep alive" option.

Parameters

[in]	active	If true, the socket periodically sends "keep alive" packets when the connection is idle.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setNoDelay()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setNoDelay	(	bool	active,
		Report &	report = `((static_cast< ts::Report >(ts::CerrReport::Instance())))`
	)

Set the "no delay" option.

Parameters

[in]	active	If true, the socket immediately sends outgoing packets. By default, a TCP socket waits a small amount of time after a send() operation to get a chance to group outgoing data from successive send() operations into one single packet.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ bind()

bool ts::TCPSocket::bind	(	const IPv4SocketAddress &	addr,
		Report &	report = `((static_cast< ts::Report >(ts::CerrReport::Instance())))`
	)

Bind to a local address and port.

The IP address part of the socket address must one of:

IPv4Address::AnyAddress. Any local interface may be used to connect to a server (client side) or to receive incoming client connections (server side).
The IP address of an interface of the local system. Outgoing connections (client side) will be only allowed through this interface. Incoming client connections (server side) will be accepted only when they arrive through the selected interface.

The port number part of the socket address must be one of:

IPv4SocketAddress::AnyPort. The socket is bound to an arbitrary unused local TCP port. This is the usual configuration for a TCP client.
A specific port number. This is the usual configuration for a TCP server. If this TCP port is already bound by another local TCP socket, the bind operation fails, unless the "reuse port" option has already been set.

Parameters

[in]	addr	Local socket address to bind to.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ open()

virtual bool ts::TCPSocket::open ( Report & report = (*(static_cast< ts::Report * >(ts::CerrReport::Instance()))) )

overridevirtual

Open the socket.

Parameters

[in,out] report Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

Implements ts::Socket.

◆ close()

virtual bool ts::TCPSocket::close ( Report & report = (*(static_cast< ts::Report * >(ts::CerrReport::Instance()))) )

overridevirtual

Close the socket.

Parameters

[in,out] report Where to report error.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

Reimplemented from ts::Socket.

Reimplemented in ts::TCPServer.

◆ handleOpened()

virtual void ts::TCPSocket::handleOpened ( Report & report )

protectedvirtual

This virtual method can be overriden by subclasses to be notified of open.

All subclasses should explicitly invoke their superclass' handlers.

Parameters

[in,out] report Where to report error.

◆ handleClosed()

virtual void ts::TCPSocket::handleClosed ( Report & report )

protectedvirtual

This virtual method can be overriden by subclasses to be notified of close.

Parameters

[in,out] report Where to report error.

◆ declareOpened()

virtual void ts::TCPSocket::declareOpened	(	SysSocketType	sock,
		Report &	report

Set an open socket descriptor from a subclass.

This method is used by a server to declare that a client socket has just become opened.

Parameters

[in]	sock	New socket descriptor.
[in,out]	report	Where to report error.

Reimplemented from ts::Socket.

◆ isOpen()

bool ts::Socket::isOpen ( ) const

Parameters

[in]	size	Receive buffer size in bytes.
