Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::UDPTransmit::UDPTransmit ( Family  family = IPV4  )  [protected]

Create a UDP transmitter.

ost::UDPTransmit::UDPTransmit ( const IPV4Address bind,
tpport_t  port = 5005 
) [protected]

Create a UDP transmitter, bind it to a specific interface and port address so that other UDP sockets on remote machines (or the same host) may find and send UDP messages to it, and associate it with a given port on a peer host.

On failure to bind, an exception is thrown. This class is only used to build the UDP Duplex.

Parameters:
bind address to bind this socket to.
port number to bind this socket to.

ost::UDPTransmit::UDPTransmit ( const IPV6Address bind,
tpport_t  port = 5005 
) [protected]


Member Function Documentation

Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect ( const IPV6Multicast mgroup,
tpport_t  port 
) [protected]

Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect ( const IPV4Multicast mgroup,
tpport_t  port 
) [protected]

Associate this socket with a multicast group.

Returns:
0 on success, -1 on error.
Parameters:
mgroup address of the multicast group to send to.
port port number

Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect ( const IPV4Broadcast subnet,
tpport_t  port 
) [protected]

Associate this socket with a subnet of peer hosts for subnet broadcasting.

The server must be able to assert broadcast permission for the socket.

Returns:
0 on success, -1 on error.
Parameters:
subnet subnet address to broadcast into.
port transport port to broadcast into.

Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect ( const IPV6Address host,
tpport_t  port 
) [protected]

Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect ( const IPV4Host host,
tpport_t  port 
) [protected]

Associate this socket with a specified peer host.

The port number from the constructor will be used. All UDP packets will be sent to and received from the specified host.

Returns:
0 on success, -1 on error.
Parameters:
host address to connect socket to.
port to connect socket to.

Reimplemented from ost::UDPSocket.

Reimplemented in ost::UDPDuplex.

void ost::UDPTransmit::endTransmitter ( void   )  [inline, protected]

Stop transmitter.

References ost::Socket::endSocket().

SOCKET ost::UDPTransmit::getTransmitter ( void   )  [inline, protected]

bool ost::UDPTransmit::isOutputReady ( unsigned long  timeout = 0l  )  [inline]

See if output queue is empty for sending more packets.

Returns:
true if output available.
Parameters:
timeout in milliseconds to wait.

References ost::Socket::isPending(), and ost::Socket::pendingOutput.

ssize_t ost::UDPTransmit::send ( const void *  buf,
size_t  len 
) [inline, protected]

Transmit "send" to use "connected" send rather than sendto.

Returns:
number of bytes sent.
Parameters:
buf address of buffer to send.
len of bytes to send.

Reimplemented from ost::UDPSocket.

References MSG_NOSIGNAL.

Error ost::UDPTransmit::setBroadcast ( bool  enable  )  [inline]

Reimplemented from ost::Socket.

References ost::Socket::setBroadcast().

Error ost::UDPTransmit::setMulticast ( bool  enable  )  [inline, protected]

Reimplemented from ost::UDPSocket.

References ost::Socket::setMulticastByFamily().

Error ost::UDPTransmit::setRouting ( bool  enable  )  [inline]

Reimplemented from ost::Socket.

References ost::Socket::setRouting().

Error ost::UDPTransmit::setTimeToLive ( unsigned char  ttl  )  [inline, protected]

Error ost::UDPTransmit::setTypeOfService ( Tos  tos  )  [inline]

Reimplemented from ost::Socket.

References ost::Socket::setTypeOfService().

ssize_t ost::UDPTransmit::transmit ( const char *  buffer,
size_t  len 
) [inline]

Transmit "send" to use "connected" send rather than sendto.

Note:
Windows does not support MSG_DONTWAIT, so it is defined as 0 on that platform.
Returns:
number of bytes sent.
Parameters:
buffer address of buffer to send.
len of bytes to send.
