Constructors

SocketImpl protected

SocketImpl();

Creates a SocketImpl.

SocketImpl protected

SocketImpl(
    SOCKET sockfd
);

Creates a SocketImpl using the given native socket.

Destructor

~SocketImpl protected virtual

virtual ~SocketImpl();

Destroys the SocketImpl. Closes the socket if it is still open.

Member Functions

acceptConnection virtual

virtual SocketImpl * acceptConnection(
    SocketAddress & clientAddr
);

Get the next completed connection from the socket's completed connection queue.

If the queue is empty, waits until a connection request completes.

Returns a new TCP socket for the connection with the client.

The client socket's address is returned in clientAddr.

address virtual

virtual SocketAddress address();

Returns the IP address and port number of the socket.

available virtual

virtual int available();

Returns the number of bytes available that can be read without causing the socket to block.

bind virtual

virtual void bind(
    const SocketAddress & address,
    bool reuseAddress = false
);

Bind a local address to the socket.

This is usually only done when establishing a server socket. TCP clients should not bind a socket to a specific address.

If reuseAddress is true, sets the SO_REUSEADDR socket option.

close virtual

virtual void close();

Close the socket.

connect virtual

virtual void connect(
    const SocketAddress & address
);

Initializes the socket and establishes a connection to the TCP server at the given address.

Can also be used for UDP sockets. In this case, no connection is established. Instead, incoming and outgoing packets are restricted to the specified address.

connect virtual

virtual void connect(
    const SocketAddress & address,
    const Poco::Timespan & timeout
);

Initializes the socket, sets the socket timeout and establishes a connection to the TCP server at the given address.

connectNB virtual

virtual void connectNB(
    const SocketAddress & address
);

Initializes the socket and establishes a connection to the TCP server at the given address. Prior to opening the connection the socket is set to nonblocking mode.

getBlocking virtual inline

virtual bool getBlocking() const;

Returns the blocking mode of the socket. This method will only work if the blocking modes of the socket are changed via the setBlocking method!

getBroadcast

bool getBroadcast();

    void * value,
    int & length
);

Returns the value of the socket option specified by level and option.

getReceiveBufferSize virtual

Returns the size of the receive buffer.

The returned value may be different than the value previously set with setReceiveBufferSize(), as the system is free to adjust the value.

getReceiveTimeout virtual

virtual Poco::Timespan getReceiveTimeout();

bool getReusePort();

Returns the value of the SO_REUSEPORT socket option.

Returns false if the socket implementation does not support SO_REUSEPORT.

getSendBufferSize virtual

Returns the size of the send buffer.

The returned value may be different than the value previously set with setSendBufferSize(), as the system is free to adjust the value.

getSendTimeout virtual

virtual Poco::Timespan getSendTimeout();

Returns the send timeout for the socket.

The returned timeout may be different than the timeout previously set with setSendTimeout(), as the system is free to adjust the value.

initialized inline

bool initialized() const;

listen virtual

virtual void listen(

The mode argument is constructed by combining the values of the SelectMode enumeration.

Returns true if the next operation corresponding to mode will not block, false otherwise.

Returns the number of bytes received.

sendBytes virtual

virtual int sendBytes(
    const void * buffer,
    int length,
    int flags = 0
