Detailed Description

The socket port is an internal class which is attached to and then serviced by a specific SocketService "object".

Derived versions of this class offer specific functionality for specific protocols. Both Common C++ supporting frameworks and application objects may be derived from related protocol specific base classes.

A special set of classes, "SocketPort" and "SocketService", exist for building realtime streaming media servers on top of UDP and TCP protocols. The "SocketPort" is used to hold a connected or associated TCP or UDP socket which is being "streamed" and which offers callback methods that are invoked from a "SocketService" thread. SocketService's can be pooled into logical thread pools that can service a group of SocketPorts. A millisecond accurate "timer" is associated with each SocketPort and can be used to time synchronize SocketPort I/O operations.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SocketPort::SocketPort ( SocketService svc,
TCPSocket tcp 
)
protected

Construct an accepted TCP socket connection from a specific bound TCP server.

This is meant to derive advanced application specific TCP servers that can be thread pooled.

Parameters
svcpool thread object.
tcpsocket object to accept.
SocketPort::SocketPort ( SocketService svc,
const IPV4Address ia,
tpport_t  port 
)

Parameters
svcpool thread object.
iaaddress of interface to bind.
portnumber to bind to.
SocketPort::SocketPort ( SocketService svc,
const IPV4Host ih,
tpport_t  port 
)
protected

A non-blocking constructor for outbound tcp connections.

To detect when the connection is established, overload SocketPort::output(). SocketPort::output() get's called by the SocketService when the connection is ready, SocketPort::disconnect() when the connect failed. at the moment you should set the socket state to "CONNECTED" when SocketPort::output() get's called for the first time.

Parameters
svcpool thread object.
ihaddess to connect to.
portnumber to connect to.
virtual SocketPort::~SocketPort ( )
protectedvirtual

Disconnect the socket from the service thread pool and the remote connection.

Returns
true if family available.
Error SocketPort::connect ( const IPV4Address ia,
tpport_t  port 
)
protected

Connect a Socket Port to a known peer host.

This is normally used with the UDP constructor. This is also performed as a non-blocking operation under Posix systems to prevent delays in a callback handler.

Returns
0 if successful.
Parameters
iaaddress of remote host or subnet.
portnumber of remote peer(s).
Error Socket::connectError ( void  )
protectedinherited

Used as a common handler for connection failure processing.

Returns
correct failure code to apply.
void TimerPort::decTimer ( timeout_t  timeout)
inherited

Adjust a timeout based on the current time reference value either from object creation or the last setTimer().

This reference can be used to time synchronize realtime data over specified intervals and force expiration when a new frame should be released in a synchronized manner.

Parameters
timeoutdelay in milliseconds from reference.
virtual void SocketPort::disconnect ( void  )
protectedvirtual

Called by the service thread pool when a disconnect has occured.

Error Socket::drop ( const IPV4Multicast ia)

Returns
0 (errSuccess) on success, else error code.
Parameters
iaaddress of multicast group to drop.
void Socket::endSocket ( void  )
protectedinherited

Used as the default destructor for ending a socket.

This will cleanly terminate the socket connection. It is provided for use in derived virtual destructors.

void TimerPort::endTimer ( void  )
inherited

This is used to "disable" the service thread from expiring the timer object.

It does not effect the reference time from either creation or a setTimer().

Error Socket::error ( Error  error,
const char *  err = NULL,
long  systemError = 0 
) const
protectedinherited

This service is used to throw all socket errors which usually occur during the socket constructor.

Parameters
errordefined socket error id.
errstring or message to pass.
systemErrorthe system error# that caused the error
void Socket::error ( const char *  err) const
inlineprotectedinherited

Parameters
errstring or message to pass.

Definition at line 240 of file socket.h.

virtual void SocketPort::expired ( void  )
protectedvirtual

Called by the service thread pool when the objects timer has expired.

bool SocketPort::getDetectOutput ( void  ) const
inlineprotected

Get the current state of the DetectOutput flag.

Definition at line 180 of file socketport.h.

bool SocketPort::getDetectPending ( void  ) const
inlineprotected

Get the current state of the DetectPending flag.

Definition at line 168 of file socketport.h.

timeout_t TimerPort::getElapsed ( void  ) const
inherited

This is used to determine how much time has elapsed since a timer port setTimer benchmark time was initially set.

This allows one to use setTimer() to set the timer to the current time and then measure elapsed time from that point forward.

return time elapsed in milliseconds, or TIMEOUT_INF if inactive.

Error Socket::getErrorNumber ( void  ) const
inlineinherited

Often used by a "catch" to fetch the last error of a thrown socket.

Returns
error number of Error error.

Definition at line 668 of file socket.h.

const char* Socket::getErrorString ( void  ) const
inlineinherited

Often used by a "catch" to fetch the user set error string of a thrown socket, but only if EXTENDED error codes are used.

Returns
string for error message.

Definition at line 676 of file socket.h.

IPV4Host Socket::getIPV4Local ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
inherited

Get the local address and port number this socket is currently bound to.

Parameters
portptr to port number on local host.
Returns
host address of interface this socket is bound to.
IPV4Host Socket::getIPV4NAT ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
inherited

Perform NAT table lookup for this socket.

Used to allow an application to know the original ip:port pair the the client "thinks" it is connecting to. Used mostly to transparently impersonate a remote server/service.

On error, 0.0.0.0:0 is returned and one of the following error codes is set: errServiceUnavailable - if nat is not supported on the current platform or if it was not compiled; errLookupFail - if the nat syscall failed for some reason (extended error code); errSearchErr - if the socket does not have nat information (i.e. is not nated).

NAT lookup is supported on NetFilter for ipv4 and ipv6 (Linux), IPFilter for ipv4 (Solaris, *BSD except OpenBSD, HP-UX, etc.) and Packet Filter for ipv4 and ipv6 (OpenBSD). When using IPFilter or Packet Filter, the first NAT lookup must be performed as root (the NAT device is read only for root and is opened once, unless an error occurs). Permissions on the nat device may be changed to solve this.

Warning
When using IPFilter and Packet Filter, application data model must be the same as the running kernel (32/64 bits).
Parameters
portptr to NATed port number on local host.
Returns
NATed host address that this socket is related to.
IPV4Host Socket::getIPV4Peer ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
inherited

Get the host address and port of the socket this socket is connected to.

If the socket is currently not in a connected state, then a host address of 0.0.0.0 is returned.

Parameters
portptr to port number of remote socket.
Returns
host address of remote socket.
virtual IPV4Host Socket::getIPV4Sender ( tpport_t port = NULL) const
virtualinherited

May be used to examine the origin of data waiting in the socket receive queue.

This can tell a TCP server where pending "connect" requests are coming from, or a UDP socket where it's next packet arrived from.

Parameters
portptr to port number of sender.
Returns
host address, test with "isInetAddress()".

Reimplemented in DCCPSocket.

timeout_t TimerPort::getTimer ( void  ) const
inherited

This is used by service threads to determine how much time remains before the timer expires based on a timeout specified in setTimer() or incTimer().

It can also be called after setting a timeout with incTimer() to see if the current timeout has already expired and hence that the application is already delayed and should skip frame(s).

return time remaining in milliseconds, or TIMEOUT_INF if inactive.

void SocketPort::incTimer ( timeout_t  timeout)

Derived incTimer to notify the service thread pool of a change in expected timeout.

This allows SocketService to reschedule all timers. Otherwise same as TimerPort.

Parameters
timeoutin milliseconds.

inherited

Test to see if the socket is at least operating or if it is mearly initialized.

"initialized" sockets may be the result of failed constructors.

Returns
true if not in initial state.
bool Socket::isBroadcast ( void  ) const
inlineinherited

Return if broadcast has been enabled for the specified socket.

Returns
true if broadcast socket.

Definition at line 651 of file socket.h.

bool Socket::isConnected ( void  ) const
inherited

Can test to see if this socket is "connected", and hence whether a "catch" can safely call getPeer().

Of course, an unconnected socket will return a 0.0.0.0 address from getPeer() as well.

Returns
true when socket is connected to a peer.
virtual bool Socket::isPending ( Pending  pend,
timeout_t  timeout = TIMEOUT_INF 
)
virtualinherited

Get the status of pending operations.

This can be used to examine if input or output is waiting, or if an error has occured on the descriptor.
