template<io::StreamElement Element>

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::SocketStream ( std::reference_wrapper< const io::StopSource >  stopSource )

explicitnoexcept

Constructor that associates a stop source with the socket.

Creates an invalid socket object.

Attention

The stop source will be overwritten if you assign a pipe returned by Socket::accept() to this object.

Parameters

stopSource

The stop source to associates with the socket

SocketStream() [3/7]

template<io::StreamElement Element>

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::SocketStream

(

SocketDevice &&

device

)

Constructor from a socket device.

Parameters

device

The socket device.

SocketStream() [4/7]

template<io::StreamElement Element>

template<tools::OneOf< WithStopSource >... Options>

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::SocketStream	(	Socket &&	socket,
		Options...	options
	)

Constructor from a generic socket object.

Note

This constructor allows you to specify a number of options for the socket, described under Option Parameters below. Just pass the options in the options parameter pack. To create a TCP socket, for example, use the following call:

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream socket { AF_INET6, xentara::utils::network::Protocol(IPPROTO_TCP) };

Parameters

socket	The socket. This must be either a default-constructed socket, or a socket of type SOCK_STREAM.
options	The options for the socket. See Option Parameters below. Option Parameters xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource(stopSource) Specifies the stop source to associate with the socket. If you do not specify this option, no stop source will be used.

SocketStream() [5/7]

template<io::StreamElement Element>

template<tools::OneOf< Protocol, WithStopSource >... Options>

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::SocketStream ( int  addressFamily, Options...  options  )

explicit

Constructor that creates a stream socket.

Note

This constructor allows you to specify a number of options for the socket, described under Option Parameters below. Just pass the options in the options parameter pack. To create a TCP socket, for example, use the following call:

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream socket { AF_INET6, xentara::utils::network::Protocol(IPPROTO_TCP) };

Note

The original BSD socket specification distinguished between address families (AF_INET etc.) unsed for socket addresses and protocol families (PF_INET etc.) used for sockets. The man pages on FreeBSD, Darwin, and macOS consequently state that PF_XXX constants should be used when creating sockets, rather than AF_XXX constants. The POSIX socket standard, however, makes no mention of PF_XXX constants, and uses AF_XXX constants for both socket addresses and sockets. The documentation for Linux, WinSock, as well as OpenBSD and many other Unix flavours also use AF_XXX in both cases. We recommend using AF_XXX when creating sockets instead of PF_XXX so as to be POSIX compliant. This will also work on BSD style socket implementations, as the corresponding AF_XXX and PF_XXX defines are always the same.

Parameters

addressFamily

The address family, also called the socket domain. Can be any of the AF_XXX address family defines, like AF_INET or AF_INET6.

options

The options for the socket. See Option Parameters below. Option Parameters xentara::utils::network::Protocol(protocol) Specifies that the socket should use the protocol protocol. protocol can be any of the XXXPROTO_YYY protocol defines, like IPPROTO_TCP or IPPROTO_SCTP. If you do not specify this option, or if you specify 0 for the protocol, then a suitable protocol will be selected based on the address family, if possible. xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource(stopSource) Specifies the stop source to associate with the socket. If you do not specify this option, no stop source will be used.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error	An error occurred getting the option
std::invalid_argument	An address family of AF_UNSPEC was specified

SocketStream() [6/7]

template<io::StreamElement Element>

template<tools::OneOf< WithStopSource >... Options>

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::SocketStream	(	posix::File	socketFileDescriptor,
		Options...	options
	)

Creates a socket object from a Posix file descriptor.

This constructor takes ownership of the socket.

Note

This constructor allows you to specify a stop source for the socket using the option parameter, as described under Option Parameters below. Just pass the stop source using the option xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource:

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream socket { rawSocket, xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource(stopSource) };

Note

This constructor is not available under Windows.

Parameters

socketFileDescriptor	The file descriptor of the new socket, or -1 to create a object that does not contain a socket. If socketFileDescriptor is not -1, it must be a socket of type SOCK_STREAM.
options	The options for the socket. See Option Parameters below. Option Parameters xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource(stopSource) Specifies the stop source to associate with the socket. If you do not specify this option, no stop source will be used.

SocketStream() [7/7]

template<io::StreamElement Element>

template<tools::OneOf< WithStopSource >... Options>

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::SocketStream	(	windows::Socket	socket,
		Options...	options
	)

Creates a socket object from a native Windows socket.

This constructor takes ownership of the socket.

Note

This constructor allows you to specify a stop source for the socket using the option parameter, as described under Option Parameters below. Just pass the stop source using the option xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource:

xentara::utils::network::SocketStream socket { rawSocket, xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource(stopSource) };

Note

This constructor is only available under Windows.

Parameters

socket	The new socket, or INVALID_SOCKET to create a object that does not contain a socket. If socket is not INVALID_SOCKET, it must be of type SOCK_STREAM.
options	The options for the socket. See Option Parameters below. Option Parameters xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource(stopSource) Specifies the stop source to associate with the socket. If you do not specify this option, no stop source will be used.

template<io::StreamElement Element>

template<tools::OneOf< Protocol, WithStopSource >... Options>

static auto xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::compatibleSocket ( const Address &  address, Options...  options  ) -> SocketStream

static

Creates a socket that is compatible with an address.

This function creates a socket that can be used to communicate with a certain address. The socket will not actually be bound or connected to the address, use bind() or connect() if you need to bind to or connect to the address.

Note

This function allows you to specify a number of options for the socket, described under Option Parameters below. Just pass the options in the options parameter pack. To create a TCP socket, for example, use the following call:

auto socket = xentara::utils::network::Socket::compatibleSocket(xentara::utils::network::Protocol(IPPROTO_TCP));

Parameters

address

The addresses that the socket will be used for.

options

The Options to use for the socket. See Option Parameters below. Option Parameters xentara::utils::network::Protocol(protocol) Specifies that the connection should be established using the protocol protocol. protocol can be any of the XXXPROTO_YYY protocol defines, like IPPROTO_TCP. If you do not specify this option, or if you specify 0 for the protocol, then a suitable protocol will be selected based on the address family, if possible. xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource(stopSource) Specifies the stop source to associate with the socket. If you do not specify this option, no stop source will be used.

Returns

A socket connected to the address

Exceptions

std::runtime_error	An error occurred creating or connecting the socket for all of the given addresses
std::invalid_argument	The address is default constructed, or has an address family of AF_UNSPEC.

connect() [1/2]

template<io::StreamElement Element>

auto xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::connect

(

const Address &

address

)

-> void

Connects to an address.

Parameters

address

Exceptions

std::runtime_error	An error occurred connecting the socket
std::invalid_argument	The address is default constructed, or has an address family of AF_UNSPEC.

connect() [2/2]

template<io::StreamElement Element>

auto xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::connect	(	const Address &	address,
		std::optional< std::chrono::nanoseconds >	timeout
	)		-> bool

Connects to an address with optional timeout.

Parameters

address	The address to connect to
timeout	The connection timeout, or std::nullopt for an infinite timeout.

Returns

Returns true if the connection was successfully established, or false on timeout. Please note that the socket will still have a pending connection if false is returned, so it has become essentially unusable.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error	An error occurred connecting the socket
std::invalid_argument	The address is default constructed, or has an address family of AF_UNSPEC.

connectedSocket() [1/3]

template<io::StreamElement Element>

static auto xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::connectedSocket ( const Address &  address, Options...  options  ) -> SocketStream

static

Creates a socket that is connected to an address.

Note

This function allows you to specify a number of options for the socket, described under Option Parameters below. Just pass the options in the options parameter pack. To connect a to a list of addresses using the TCP protocol and a timeout of 5s, for example, use the following call:

auto socket = xentara::utils::network::SocketStream::connectedSocket(addresses,
    xentara::utils::network::Protocol(IPPROTO_TCP),
    xentara::utils::network::Timeout(5s));

Parameters

address

The addresses to connect to.

options

The Options to use for the connection. See Option Parameters below. Option Parameters xentara::utils::network::Protocol(protocol) Specifies that the connection should be established using the protocol protocol. protocol can be any of the XXXPROTO_YYY protocol defines, like IPPROTO_TCP. If you do not specify this option, or if you specify 0 for the protocol, then a suitable protocol will be selected based on the address family, if possible. xentara::utils::network::Timeout(timeout) Specifies the timeout for the connect. If you do not specify this option, or if you specify std::nullopt for the timeout, an infinite timeout will be used. xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource(stopSource) Specifies the stop source to watch for stop requests. The stop source can be used to interrupt the wait, usually to shutdown and close the socket. If the stop source is triggered, the function will throw an exception of type io::StopRequested. If you do not specify this option, no stop source will be used. The returned socket is automatically associated with the given stop source.

Returns

A socket connected to the given address. If you specified a timeout, and the connection could not be completed within in the given time, a default constructed socket is returned. You can use the operator bool() to check whether the returned socket is valid.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error	An error occurred creating or connecting the socket for all of the given addresses
std::invalid_argument	The address is default constructed, or has an address family of AF_UNSPEC.

static auto xentara::utils::network::SocketStream< Element >::connectedSocket ( std::string_view  hostName, Options...  options  ) -> SocketStream

static

Creates a socket that is connected to a named host.

Normally, hostName must contain a port number after the host name or address string. You can pass the options xentara::utils::network::DefaultPort or xentara::utils::network::WithPort in the options parameter pack to make the port number optional, or to specify a fixed port number. See Option Parameters below for a description of these options.

Note

This function allows you to specify a number of options for the socket and the address lookup, described under Option Parameters below. Just pass the options in the options parameter pack. To connect to a host name with a default port of 8080 using a timeout of 5s, for example, use the following call:

auto socket = xentara::utils::network::SocketStream::connectedSocket(hostName,
    xentara::utils::network::DefaultPort(8080),
    xentara::utils::network::Timeout(5s));

Parameters

hostName

The host name to connect to

options

The Options to use for the connection. See Option Parameters below. Option Parameters xentara::utils::network::Protocol(protocol) Specifies that the connection should be established using the protocol protocol. protocol can be any of the XXXPROTO_YYY protocol defines, like IPPROTO_TCP. If you do not specify this option, or if you specify 0 for the protocol, then a suitable protocol will be selected based on the address family, if possible. xentara::utils::network::DefaultPort(portNumber) Specifies that including port number in hostName is optional. If hostName does not contain a port number, portNumber will be used instead. Cannot be combined with xentara::utils::network::WithPort. xentara::utils::network::WithPort(portNumber) Specifies that hostName must be a host name or address string, and may not contain a port number. The connection will be established on port number portNumber. This option Cannot be combined with xentara::utils::network::DefaultPort. xentara::utils::network::AddressFamily(addressFamily) Specifies a that the connection may only be established using addresses with the address family addressFamily. addressFamily can be any of the AF_XXX address family defines, like AF_INET or AF_INET6. If you do not specify this option, or if you specify AF_UNSPEC for the address family, then addresses of any address family are tried. You should usually not use this option, to allow communication over both IPv4 and IPv6. Only use this option if you are planning to communicate with legacy software that does not support IPv6. xentara::utils::network::Timeout(timeout) Specifies the timeout for the connect. If you do not specify this option, or if you specify std::nullopt for the timeout, an infinite timeout will be used. xentara::utils::network::WithStopSource(stopSource) Specifies the stop source to watch for stop requests. The stop source can be used to interrupt the wait, usually to shutdown and close the socket. If the stop source is triggered, the function will throw an exception of type io::StopRequested. If you do not specify this option, no stop source will be used. The returned socket is automatically associated with the given stop source.

Returns

A socket connected to the host name. If you specified a timeout, and the connection could not be completed within in the given time, a default constructed socket is returned. You can use the operator bool() to check whether the returned socket is valid.
