Detailed Description

A base class for sequenced packet sockets.

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

◆ accept

- (instancetype) accept

Accept an incoming connection.

Returns: An autoreleased sequenced packet socket for the accepted connection.

Exceptions

OFAcceptSocketFailedException	Accepting failed
OFNotOpenException	The socket is not open

◆ asyncAcceptWithBlock:

- (void) asyncAcceptWithBlock: (OFSequencedPacketSocketAsyncAcceptBlock) block

Asynchronously accept an incoming connection.

Parameters

block The block to execute when a new connection has been accepted. Returns whether the next incoming connection should be accepted by the specified block as well.

◆ asyncAcceptWithRunLoopMode:

- (void) asyncAcceptWithRunLoopMode: (OFRunLoopMode) runLoopMode

Asynchronously accept an incoming connection.

Parameters

runLoopMode The run loop mode in which to perform the asynchronous accept

◆ asyncAcceptWithRunLoopMode:block:

- (void) asyncAcceptWithRunLoopMode:		(OFRunLoopMode)	runLoopMode
block:		(OFSequencedPacketSocketAsyncAcceptBlock)	block

Asynchronously accept an incoming connection.

Parameters

runLoopMode	The run loop mode in which to perform the asynchronous accept
block	The block to execute when a new connection has been accepted. Returns whether the next incoming connection should be accepted by the specified block as well.

◆ asyncReceiveIntoBuffer:length:

- (void) asyncReceiveIntoBuffer:		(void *)	buffer
length:		(size_t)	length

Asynchronously receives a packet and stores it into the specified buffer.

If the buffer is too small, the receive operation fails.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to write the packet to
length	The length of the buffer

◆ asyncReceiveIntoBuffer:length:block:

- (void) asyncReceiveIntoBuffer:	(void *)	buffer
length:	(size_t)	length
block:	(OFSequencedPacketSocketAsyncReceiveBlock)	block

Asynchronously receives a packet and stores it into the specified buffer.

If the buffer is too small, the receive operation fails.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to write the packet to
length	The length of the buffer
block	The block to call when the packet has been received. If the block returns true, it will be called again with the same buffer and maximum length when more packets have been received. If you want the next method in the queue to handle the packet received next, you need to return false from the method.

◆ asyncReceiveIntoBuffer:length:runLoopMode:

- (void) asyncReceiveIntoBuffer:	(void *)	buffer
length:	(size_t)	length
runLoopMode:	(OFRunLoopMode)	runLoopMode

Asynchronously receives a packet and stores it into the specified buffer.

If the buffer is too small, the receive operation fails.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to write the packet to
length	The length of the buffer
runLoopMode	The run loop mode in which to perform the asynchronous receive

◆ asyncReceiveIntoBuffer:length:runLoopMode:block:

- (void) asyncReceiveIntoBuffer:	(void *)	buffer
length:	(size_t)	length
runLoopMode:	(OFRunLoopMode)	runLoopMode
block:	(OFSequencedPacketSocketAsyncReceiveBlock)	block

Asynchronously receives a packet and stores it into the specified buffer.

If the buffer is too small, the receive operation fails.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to write the packet to
length	The length of the buffer
runLoopMode	The run loop mode in which to perform the asynchronous receive
block	The block to call when the packet has been received. If the block returns true, it will be called again with the same buffer and maximum length when more packets have been received. If you want the next method in the queue to handle the packet received next, you need to return false from the method.

◆ asyncSendData:

- (void) asyncSendData: (OFData *) data

Asynchronously sends the specified packet.

Parameters

data	The data to send as a packet

◆ asyncSendData:block:

- (void) asyncSendData:		(OFData *)	data
block:		(OFSequencedPacketSocketAsyncSendDataBlock)	block

Asynchronously sends the specified packet.

Parameters

data	The data to send as a packet
block	The block to call when the packet has been sent. It should return the data for the next send with the same callback or nil if it should not repeat.

runLoopMode:		(OFRunLoopMode)	runLoopMode

Asynchronously sends the specified packet.

Parameters

data	The data to send as a packet
runLoopMode	The run loop mode in which to perform the asynchronous send

◆ close

- (void) close

Closes the socket so that it can neither receive nor send any more datagrams.

Exceptions

Listen on the socket.

Parameters

backlog Maximum length for the queue of pending connections.

Exceptions

OFListenOnSocketFailedException	Listening failed
OFNotOpenException	The socket is not open

◆ obtainSocketForCurrentThread

- (void) obtainSocketForCurrentThread

Obtains the socket for the current thread.

This is necessary on some platforms in order to allow a different thread to use the socket, e.g. on AmigaOS, but you should call it on all operating systems before using the socket from a different thread.

You must only call this method after releaseSocketFromCurrentThread has been called from a different thread.

◆ receiveIntoBuffer:length:

- (size_t) receiveIntoBuffer:		(void *)	buffer
length:		(size_t)	length

Receives a packet and stores it into the specified buffer.

If the buffer is too small, the receive operation fails.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to write the packet to
length	The length of the buffer

Returns: The length of the received packet

Exceptions

OFReadFailedException	Receiving failed
OFNotOpenException	The socket is not open

◆ releaseSocketFromCurrentThread

- (void) releaseSocketFromCurrentThread

Releases the socket from the current thread.

This is necessary on some platforms in order to allow a different thread to use the socket, e.g. on AmigaOS, but you should call it on all operating systems before using the socket from a different thread.

After calling this method, you must no longer use the socket until obtainSocketForCurrentThread has been called.

◆ sendBuffer:length:

- (void) sendBuffer:		(const void *)	buffer
length:		(size_t)	length

Sends the specified packet.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to send as a packet
length	The length of the buffer

Returns a new, autoreleased OFSequencedPacketSocket.

Returns: A new, autoreleased OFSequencedPacketSocket

Property Documentation

◆ canBlock

- (bool) canBlock

readwritenonatomicassign

Whether the socket can block.

By default, a socket can block.

Exceptions

OFGetOptionFailedException	The option could not be retrieved
OFSetOptionFailedException	The option could not be set

◆ delegate

- (id<OFSequencedPacketSocketDelegate>) delegate

readwriteatomic

The delegate for asynchronous operations on the socket.

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

◆ remoteAddress

- (const OFSocketAddress *) remoteAddress

readnonatomicassign

The remote address.

Note: This only works for accepted sockets!
