Socket Abstraction
[Input/Output]

---

Detailed Description

The PJLIB socket abstraction layer is a thin and very portable abstraction for socket API. It provides API similar to BSD socket API. The abstraction is needed because BSD socket API is not always available on all platforms, therefore it wouldn't be possible to create a trully portable network programs unless we provide such abstraction.

Applications can use this API directly in their application, just as they would when using traditional BSD socket API, provided they call pj_init() first.

Examples

For some examples on how to use the socket API, please see:

The IP address in numbers and dots notation.

Returns:

Remarks:

This is an obsolete interface to pj_inet_aton(); it is obsolete because -1 is a valid address (255.255.255.255), and pj_inet_aton() provides a cleaner way to indicate error return.

int pj_inet_aton	(	const pj_str_t *	cp,

pj_status_t pj_sock_accept	(	pj_sock_t	serverfd,
		pj_sock_t *	newsock,
		pj_sockaddr_t *	addr,
		int *	addrlen
	)

Accept new connection on the specified connection oriented server socket.

Parameters:

	serverfd	The server socket.
	newsock	New socket on success, of PJ_INVALID_SOCKET if failed.
	addr	A pointer to sockaddr type. If the argument is not NULL, it will be filled by the address of connecting entity.
	addrlen	Initially specifies the length of the address, and upon return will be filled with the exact address length.

Returns:

Zero on success, or the error number.

pj_status_t pj_sock_bind	(	pj_sock_t	sockfd,
		const pj_sockaddr_t *	my_addr,
		int	addrlen
	)

This function gives the socket sockfd the local address my_addr. my_addr is addrlen bytes long. Traditionally, this is called assigning a name to a socket. When a socket is created with pj_sock_socket(), it exists in a name space (address family) but has no name assigned.

Parameters:

	sockfd	The socket desriptor.
	my_addr	The local address to bind the socket to.
	addrlen	The length of the address.

Returns:

Zero on success.

pj_status_t pj_sock_bind_in	(	pj_sock_t	sockfd,
		pj_uint32_t	addr,
		pj_uint16_t	port
	)

Bind the IP socket sockfd to the given address and port.

Parameters:

	sockfd	The socket descriptor.
	addr	Local address to bind the socket to, in host byte order.
	port	The local port to bind the socket to, in host byte order.

Returns:

Zero on success.

pj_status_t pj_sock_close

(

pj_sock_t

sockfd

)

Close the socket descriptor.

Parameters:

sockfd

The socket descriptor.

Returns:

Zero on success.

pj_status_t pj_sock_connect	(	pj_sock_t	sockfd,
		const pj_sockaddr_t *	serv_addr,
		int	addrlen
	)

The file descriptor sockfd must refer to a socket. If the socket is of type PJ_SOCK_DGRAM then the serv_addr address is the address to which datagrams are sent by default, and the only address from which datagrams are received. If the socket is of type PJ_SOCK_STREAM or PJ_SOCK_SEQPACKET, this call attempts to make a connection to another socket. The other socket is specified by serv_addr, which is an address (of length addrlen) in the communications space of the socket. Each communications space interprets the serv_addr parameter in its own way.

Parameters:

	sockfd	The socket descriptor.
	serv_addr	Server address to connect to.
	addrlen	The length of server address.

Returns:

Zero on success.

pj_status_t pj_sock_getpeername	(	pj_sock_t	sockfd,
		pj_sockaddr_t *	addr,
		int *	namelen
	)

Return the address of peer which is connected to socket sockfd.

Parameters:

	sockfd	The socket descriptor.
	addr	Pointer to sockaddr structure to which the address will be returned.
	namelen	Initially the length of the addr. Upon return the value will be set to the actual length of the address.

Returns:

Zero on success.

pj_status_t pj_sock_getsockname	(	pj_sock_t	sockfd,
		pj_sockaddr_t *	addr,
		int *	namelen
	)

Return the current name of the specified socket.

Parameters:

	sockfd	The socket descriptor.
	addr	Pointer to sockaddr structure to which the address will be returned.
	namelen	Initially the length of the addr. Upon return the value will be set to the actual length of the address.

Returns:

Zero on success.

pj_status_t pj_sock_getsockopt	(	pj_sock_t	sockfd,
		pj_uint16_t	level,
		pj_uint16_t	optname,
		void *	optval,
		int *	optlen
	)

Get socket option associated with a socket. Options may exist at multiple protocol levels; they are always present at the uppermost socket level.

Parameters:

	sockfd	The socket descriptor.
	level	The level which to get the option from.
	optname	The option name.
	optval	Identifies the buffer which the value will be returned.
	optlen	Initially contains the length of the buffer, upon return will be set to the actual size of the value.

Returns:

Zero on success.

pj_status_t pj_sock_listen	(	pj_sock_t	sockfd,
		int	backlog
	)

Listen for incoming connection. This function only applies to connection oriented sockets (such as PJ_SOCK_STREAM or PJ_SOCK_SEQPACKET), and it indicates the willingness to accept incoming connections.

Parameters:

	sockfd	The socket descriptor.
	backlog	Defines the maximum length the queue of pending connections may grow to.

Returns:

Zero on success.

pj_status_t pj_sock_recv	(	pj_sock_t	sockfd,
		void *	buf,
		pj_ssize_t *	len,
		unsigned	flags
	)

Receives data stream or message coming to the specified socket.

Parameters:

	sockfd	The socket descriptor.
	buf	The buffer to receive the data or message.
	len	On input, the length of the buffer. On return, contains the length of data received.
	flags	Flags (such as pj_MSG_PEEK()).

Returns:

PJ_SUCCESS or the error code.

pj_status_t pj_sock_recvfrom	(	pj_sock_t	sockfd,
		void *	buf,
		pj_ssize_t *	len,
		unsigned	flags,
		pj_sockaddr_t *	from,
