Member Function Documentation

void CommunicatingSocket::connect ( const string &  foreignAddress,
unsigned short  foreignPort 
) throw (SocketException)

Establish a socket connection with the given foreign address and port

Parameters:
foreignAddress foreign address (IP address or name)
foreignPort foreign port
Exceptions:
SocketException thrown if unable to establish connection

void CommunicatingSocket::send ( const void *  buffer,
int  bufferLen 
) throw (SocketException)

Write the given buffer to this socket. Call connect() before calling send()

Parameters:
buffer buffer to be written
bufferLen number of bytes from buffer to be written
Exceptions:
SocketException thrown if unable to send data

int CommunicatingSocket::recv ( void *  buffer,
int  bufferLen 
) throw (SocketException)

Read into the given buffer up to bufferLen bytes data from this socket. Call connect() before calling recv()

Parameters:
buffer buffer to receive the data
bufferLen maximum number of bytes to read into buffer
Returns:
number of bytes read, 0 for EOF, and -1 for error
Exceptions:
SocketException thrown if unable to receive data

string CommunicatingSocket::getForeignAddress (  )  throw (SocketException)

Get the foreign address. Call connect() before calling recv()

Returns:
foreign address
Exceptions:
SocketException thrown if unable to fetch foreign address

unsigned short CommunicatingSocket::getForeignPort (  )  throw (SocketException)

Get the foreign port. Call connect() before calling recv()

Returns:
foreign port
Exceptions:
SocketException thrown if unable to fetch foreign port
