Member Function Documentation

int bind ( int  port )

Bind a UDP Server Socket to a specific port.

Parameters:
portThe port to listen for incoming connections on
Returns:
0 on success, -1 on failure.

Definition at line 33 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

int close ( bool  shutdown = true ) [inherited]

Close the socket.

Parameters:
shutdownfree the left-over data in message queues

Definition at line 72 of file Socket.cpp.

int get_option ( int  level,
int  optname,
void *  optval,
socklen_t *  optlen 
) [inherited]

Get socket options.

Parameters:
levelstack level (see: lwip/sockets.h)
optnameoption ID
optvalbuffer pointer where to write the option value
socklen_tlength of the option value
Returns:
0 on success, -1 on failure

Definition at line 48 of file Socket.cpp.

int init ( void   )

Init the UDP Client Socket without binding it to any specific port.

Returns:
0 on success, -1 on failure.

Definition at line 28 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

int join_multicast_group ( const char *  address )

Join the multicast group at the given address.

Parameters:
addressThe address of the multicast group
Returns:
0 on success, -1 on failure.

Definition at line 52 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

int receiveFrom ( Endpoint remote,
char *  buffer,
int  length 
)

Receive a packet from a remote endpoint.

Parameters:
remoteThe remote endpoint
bufferThe buffer for storing the incoming packet data. If a packet is too long to fit in the supplied buffer, excess bytes are discarded
lengthThe length of the buffer
Returns:
the number of received bytes on success (>=0) or -1 on failure

Definition at line 82 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

int sendTo ( Endpoint remote,
char *  packet,
int  length 
)

Send a packet to a remote endpoint.

Parameters:
remoteThe remote endpoint
packetThe packet to be sent
lengthThe length of the packet to be sent
Returns:
the number of written bytes on success (>=0) or -1 on failure

Definition at line 68 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

void set_blocking ( bool  blocking,
unsigned int  timeout = 1500 
) [inherited]

Set blocking or non-blocking mode of the socket and a timeout on blocking socket operations.

Parameters:
blockingtrue for blocking mode, false for non-blocking mode.
timeouttimeout in ms [Default: (1500)ms].

Definition at line 27 of file Socket.cpp.

int set_broadcasting ( bool  broadcast = true )

Set the socket in broadcasting mode.

Returns:
0 on success, -1 on failure.

Definition at line 62 of file UDPSocket.cpp.

int set_option ( int  level,
int  optname,
const void *  optval,
socklen_t  optlen 
) [inherited]

Set socket options.

Parameters:
levelstack level (see: lwip/sockets.h)
optnameoption ID
optvaloption value
socklen_tlength of the option value
Returns:
0 on success, -1 on failure

Definition at line 44 of file Socket.cpp.
