Documentation
GPRS-specific implementation of the MAbstractConnection interface.
This class offers a unified interface through what GPRS can be used
like any other transport medium in the PeerHood environment. Note that no
instances of this class should be created directly. Instead, use the
provided PeerHood factory class.
CGPRSConnection()
-
Default constructor, sets the initial vatiables to their default values
and creates a new local socket.
- Returns:
- none
~CGPRSConnection()
-
Default destructor, removes the local socket if listening. Similarly, the
possibly open connection is closed.
- Returns:
- none
bool Connect(const std::string& aAddress, int aPort)
-
Creates connection between gprs-plugin and
provided service. Connection is established
using local sockets. When connection is established
from service to plugin, DATA message is sent. This
message contains receivers id and port information.
- Parameters:
- aAddress - The destination address. This can
be string "toService" for connecting gprs-plugin to service. Otherwise
connection is made from local service to gprs-plugin
aPort - Target port. This is reserved for future use.
- Returns:
- true if the connection could be established
bool Disconnect()
-
Kills the existing connection. If there's no connection or it could not
be closed in a controlled way then the error code is returned. The existing
connection will be closed regardless of the return value.
- Returns:
- true if the connection was dropped in a controlled manner
void Close()
-
Explicitly closes the socket without any additional state checking,
i.e. this function will execute even if there's no existing connection.
This function is used by the PeerHood engine to ensure that no file
descriptors are leaked.
- Returns:
- none
int Write(const void* aOutBuf, int aLength)
-
Sends data to the other end of the connection. Note that this
function is not endianess-safe.
- Parameters:
- aOutBuf - Buffer containing the data that should be written.
aLength - The number of bytes to be written.
- Returns:
- the number of bytes written or -1 in the case of an error
int Read(void* aInBuf, int aLength)
-
Reads data from an open connection. Just like
<code>Read</code> this function is not endianess-safe so it should be
treated more like a standard Posix sequential socket.
- Parameters:
- aInBuf - Buffer where the data is read to.
aLength - The number of bytes that should be read.
- Returns:
- the number of bytes read or -1 in the case of an error
const std::string& GetRemoteAddress()
-
Returns connection's remote address. Note that the existence of the
address doesn't mean that there's a connection established.
- Returns:
- connection's remote address
int GetFd()
-
Returns connection's file descriptor. Other classes can have a direct
access to the connection's socket (or similar entity) via this function's
return value.
- Returns:
- connection's file descriptor or -1 if one isn't available
bool Listen()
-
Sets the connection to the listening state. This function must be
called before any incoming connections targeted to this object can be
accepted. This function will always listen for the service name specific
port for example "exampleService1.local"
If some other port is needed then the <code>Listen(int aPath)</code>
should be used instead.
- Returns:
- true if successfull
bool Listen(int aPort)
-
Sets the connection to the listening state. This function must be
called before any incoming connections targeted to this object can be
accepted.
- Parameters:
- aPath - The path can be 0 for listening
path for service, otherwise path for plugin
is listened.
- Returns:
- true if successfull
MAbstractConnection* AcceptL()
-
Accepts the incoming connection and returns a new connection object. If
accepting fails then NULL is returned.
- Returns:
- new connection object or NULL in the case of an error
bool IsListening()
-
Tells if the connection is in the listening state or not.
- Returns:
- true if the connection is in the listening state
bool IsConnected()
-
Tells if the connection is established or not.
- Returns:
- true if the connection is established
bool HasData()
-
Waits for the connection to have data to read, and returns true
- Returns:
- true if the data is ready
- This class has no child classes.
