Detailed Description

A class which provides methods to create and use UDP sockets.

Addresses are of type OFSocketAddress. You can use the current thread's OFDNSResolver to create an address for a host / port pair, OFSocketAddressString to get the IP address string for an address and OFSocketAddressIPPort to get the port for an address. If you want to compare two addresses, you can use OFSocketAddressEqual and you can use OFSocketAddressHash to get a hash to use in e.g. OFMapTable.

Warning

Even though the OFCopying protocol is implemented, it does not return an independent copy of the socket, but instead retains it. This is so that the socket can be used as a key for a dictionary, so context can be associated with a socket. Using a socket in more than one thread at the same time is not thread-safe, even if copy was called to create one "instance" for every thread!

Method Documentation

bindToHost:port:

- (OFSocketAddress) bindToHost:		(OFString *)	host
port:		(uint16_t)	port

Binds the socket to the specified host and port.

Parameters

host	The host to bind to. Use @"0.0.0.0" for IPv4 or @"::" for IPv6 to bind to all.
port	The port to bind to. If the port is 0, an unused port will be chosen, which can be obtained using the return value.

Returns

The address the socket was bound to

Exceptions

OFBindIPSocketFailedException	Binding failed
OFAlreadyOpenException	The socket is already bound

Property Documentation

delegate

- (id<OFUDPSocketDelegate>) delegate

readwriteatomic

The delegate for asynchronous operations on the socket.

Note

The delegate is retained for as long as asynchronous operations are still ongoing.
