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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TCPSocket() [1/2]

ts::TCPSocket::TCPSocket	(	Report *	report = `nullptr`,
		bool	non_blocking = `false`
	)

inlineexplicit

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]	report	Where to report errors. The report object must remain valid as long as this object exists or setReport() is used with another Report object. If report is null, log messages are discarded.
[in]	non_blocking	It true, the device is initially set in non-blocking mode.

◆ TCPSocket() [2/2]

ts::TCPSocket::TCPSocket	(	ReporterBase *	delegate,
		bool	non_blocking = `false`
	)

inlineexplicit

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]	delegate	Use the report of another ReporterBase. If delegate is null, log messages are discarded.
[in]	non_blocking	It true, the device is initially set in non-blocking mode.

Member Function Documentation

◆ setTTL()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setTTL ( int ttl )

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.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setNoLinger()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setNoLinger ( )

Remove the linger time option.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setLingerTime()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setLingerTime ( int seconds )

Set the linger time option.

Parameters

[in] seconds Number of seconds to wait after shuting down the socket.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setKeepAlive()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setKeepAlive ( bool active )

Set the "keep alive" option.

Parameters

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

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setNoDelay()

bool ts::TCPSocket::setNoDelay ( bool active )

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.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ open()

virtual bool ts::TCPSocket::open ( IP gen )

overridevirtual

Open the socket.

Parameters

[in] gen IP generation, IPv4 or IPv6. If set to IP::Any, open an IPv6 socket (IPv4 connections allowed).

Returns: True on success, false on error.

Implements ts::Socket.

◆ close()

virtual bool ts::TCPSocket::close ( bool silent = false )

overridevirtual

Close the socket.

If overridden by a subclass, the superclass must be called at the end of the overridden close().

Parameters

[in] silent If true, do not report errors through the logger. This is typically useful when the socket is in some error condition and closing it is necessary although it may generate additional meaningless errors.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

Reimplemented from ts::Socket.

Reimplemented in ts::TCPServer, and ts::TLSServer.

◆ handleOpened()

virtual void ts::TCPSocket::handleOpened ( )

protectedvirtual

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

All subclasses should explicitly invoke their superclass' handlers.

◆ handleClosed()

virtual void ts::TCPSocket::handleClosed ( )

protectedvirtual

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

All subclasses should explicitly invoke their superclass' handlers.

Reimplemented in ts::TCPConnection.

◆ declareOpened()

virtual void ts::TCPSocket::declareOpened ( SysSocketType sock )

overrideprotectedvirtual

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.

Reimplemented from ts::Socket.

◆ isOpen()

bool ts::Socket::isOpen ( ) const

inlineinherited

Check if socket is open.

Returns: True if socket is open.

◆ generation()

IP ts::Socket::generation ( ) const

inlineinherited

Get the IP generation with which the socket was open.

Returns: The IP generation used to open the socket. Never IP::Any.

◆ setSendBufferSize()

bool ts::Socket::setSendBufferSize ( size_t size )

inherited

Set the send buffer size.

Parameters

[in] size Send buffer size in bytes.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setReceiveBufferSize()

bool ts::Socket::setReceiveBufferSize ( size_t size )

inherited

Set the receive buffer size.

Parameters

[in] size Receive buffer size in bytes.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setReceiveTimeout()

bool ts::Socket::setReceiveTimeout ( cn::milliseconds timeout )

inherited

Set the receive timeout.

Parameters

[in] timeout Receive timeout in milliseconds. If negative or zero, receive timeout is not used, reception waits forever.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ reusePort()

bool ts::Socket::reusePort ( bool reuse_port )

inherited

Set the "reuse port" option.

Parameters

[in] reuse_port If true, the socket is allowed to reuse a local UDP port which is already bound.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ bind()

bool ts::Socket::bind ( const IPSocketAddress & addr )

inherited

Bind to a local address and port.

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

IPAddress::AnyAddress4.
- UDP: Any local interface may be used to send or receive UDP datagrams. For each outgoing packet, the actual interface is selected by the kernel based on the routing rules. Incoming UDP packets for the selected port will be accepted from any local interface.
- TCP client: Any local interface may be used to connect to a server.
- TCP server: Any local interface may be used to receive incoming client connections.
The IP address of an interface of the local system.
- UDP: Outgoing packets will be unconditionally sent through this interface. Incoming UDP packets for the selected port will be accepted only when they arrive through the selected interface.
- TCP client: Outgoing connections will be only allowed through this interface.
- TCP server: Incoming client connections will be accepted only when they arrive through the selected interface.

Special note for receiving multicast on most Unix systems (at least Linux and macOS): The IP address shall be either AnyAddress4 or the multicast group address. Do not specify a local address to receive multicast on Unix.

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

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

Parameters

[in] addr Local socket address to bind to.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ getLocalAddress()

bool ts::Socket::getLocalAddress ( IPSocketAddress & addr ) const

inherited

Get local socket address.

Parameters

[out] addr Local socket address of the connection.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ getSocket()

SysSocketType ts::Socket::getSocket ( ) const

inlineinherited

Get the underlying socket device handle (use with care).

This method is reserved for low-level operations and should not be used by normal applications.

Returns: The underlying socket system device handle or file descriptor. Return SYS_SOCKET_INVALID if the socket is not open.

◆ addSubscription()

void ts::Socket::addSubscription ( SocketHandlerInterface * handler )

inherited

Add a subscriber to open/close events.

Parameters

[in] handler The object to call on open() and close().

◆ cancelSubscription()

void ts::Socket::cancelSubscription ( SocketHandlerInterface * handler )

inherited

bool ts::Socket::createSocket	(	IP	gen,
		int	type,
		int	protocol
	)

protectedinherited

Create the socket.

Parameters

[in]	gen	IP generation.
[in]	type	Socket type: SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_DGRAM
[in]	protocol	Socket protocol: IPPROTO_TCP, IPPROTO_UDP

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ convert()

bool ts::Socket::convert ( IPAddress & addr ) const

protectedinherited

Convert an IP address to make it compatible with the socket IP generation.

Parameters

addr	[in,out] The address to convert.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ allowSetNonBlocking()

virtual bool ts::Socket::allowSetNonBlocking ( ) const

overrideprotectedvirtualinherited

Check that the non-blocking mode can be set.

Must be implemented by subclasses which do not support setting the non-blocking in certain states, such as after being opened. The default implementation always allows setting the non-blocking mode.

Returns: True if setting the non-blocking mode is allowed, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from ts::NonBlockingDevice.

◆ setNonBlocking()

bool ts::NonBlockingDevice::setNonBlocking ( bool non_blocking )

inherited

Set the device in non-blocking mode.

Important: Usually, this method must be called before opening the device, whatever it means. Otherwise it is ignored and the device blocking mode is unchanged.

Parameters

[in] non_blocking It true, the device is set in non-blocking mode.

Returns: True on success, false if the device is already open and the non-blocking mode is unchanged.

◆ isNonBlocking()

bool ts::NonBlockingDevice::isNonBlocking ( ) const

inlineinherited

Check if the device is in non-blocking mode.

Returns: True if the device is in non-blocking mode, false otherwise.

See also: setNonBlocking()

◆ checkNonBlocking() [1/2]

bool ts::NonBlockingDevice::checkNonBlocking	(	bool	non_blocking,
		const UChar *	opname
	)

protectedinherited

Check the blocking mode of a device.

Called by subclass methods which are explicitly called in blocking or non-blocking mode.

Parameters

[in]	non_blocking	The required non-blocking mode.
[in]	opname	Name of the operation, for the error message.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ checkNonBlocking() [2/2]

bool ts::NonBlockingDevice::checkNonBlocking	(	IOSB *	iosb,
		const UChar *	opname
	)

protectedinherited

Check the blocking mode of a device.

Called by subclass methods which are explicitly called in blocking or non-blocking mode.

Parameters

[in,out]	iosb	Address of an IOSB structure. If non-null, we are in non-blocking mode. When null, we are in blocking mode. When non-null, pending is reset to false and overlap is zeroed.
[in]	opname	Name of the operation, for the error message.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ setSystemNonBlocking()

bool ts::NonBlockingDevice::setSystemNonBlocking	(	SysSocketType	fd,
		bool	non_blocking
	)

protectedinherited

Convenience method to set a system file descriptor or socket handle in non-blocking mode.

Parameters

[in]	fd	System file descriptor (UNIX) or socket handle (Windows). On Windows, non-socket devices shall be opened with flag FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED instead of using this method.
[in]	non_blocking	It true, the device is set in non-blocking mode.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ report()

Report & ts::ReporterBase::report ( ) const

inherited

Access the Report which is associated with this object.

Can be called from another thread only if the Report object is thread-safe.

Returns: A reference to the associated report.

◆ setReport() [1/2]

Report * ts::ReporterBase::setReport ( Report * report )

inherited

Associate this object with another Report to log errors.

Parameters

[in] report Where to report errors. The report object must remain valid as long as this object exists or setReport() is used with another Report object. If report is null, log messages are discarded.

Returns: The address of the previous Report object or a null pointer if there was none.

◆ setReport() [2/2]

ReporterBase * ts::ReporterBase::setReport ( ReporterBase * delegate )

inherited

Associate this object with another ReporterBase to log errors.

Parameters

[in] delegate Use the report of another ReporterBase. If delegate is null, the previous explicit Report is used..

Returns: The address of the previous ReporterBase object or a null pointer if there was none.

◆ muteReport()

bool ts::ReporterBase::muteReport ( bool mute )

inherited

Temporarily mute the associated report.

Parameters

[in] mute It true, report() will return a null report (log messages are discarded), until muteReport() is invoked again with mute set to false.

Returns: Previous state of the mute field.

◆ SilentLevel()

static int ts::ReporterBase::SilentLevel ( bool silent )

inlinestaticinherited

Compute a log severity level from a "silent" parameter.

Some subclass methods have a "silent" parameter to avoid reporting errors which may be insignificant, typically when closing a device after an error, in which case the close operation may produce other errors if the previous error left the device in an inconsistent state. While those errors should not be displayed as errors, we still display them at debug level.

Parameters

[in] silent If true, do not report errors, report debug messages instead.

Returns: Error when silent is false, Debug otherwise.
