Detailed Description

The PJLIB socket abstraction layer is a thin and very portable abstraction for socket API. It provides API similar to BSD socket API. The abstraction is needed because BSD socket API is not always available on all platforms, therefore it wouldn't be possible to create a trully portable network programs unless we provide such abstraction.

Applications can use this API directly in their application, just as they would when using traditional BSD socket API, provided they call pj_init() first.

Examples

For some examples on how to use the socket API, please see:

serverfd The server socket.
newsock New socket on success, of PJ_INVALID_SOCKET if failed.
addr A pointer to sockaddr type. If the argument is not NULL, it will be filled by the address of connecting entity.
addrlen Initially specifies the length of the address, and upon return will be filled with the exact address length.
Returns:
Zero on success, or the error number.
pj_status_t pj_sock_bind ( pj_sock_t  sockfd,
const pj_sockaddr_t my_addr,
int  addrlen 
)

This function gives the socket sockfd the local address my_addr. my_addr is addrlen bytes long. Traditionally, this is called assigning a name to a socket. When a socket is created with pj_sock_socket(), it exists in a name space (address family) but has no name assigned.

Parameters:
sockfd The socket desriptor.
my_addr The local address to bind the socket to.
addrlen The length of the address.
Returns:
Zero on success.
pj_status_t pj_sock_bind_in ( pj_sock_t  sockfd,
pj_uint32_t  addr,
pj_uint16_t  port 
)

Bind the IP socket sockfd to the given address and port.

Parameters:
sockfd The socket descriptor.
addr Local address to bind the socket to, in host byte order.
port The local port to bind the socket to, in host byte order.
Returns:
Zero on success.
pj_status_t pj_sock_close ( pj_sock_t  sockfd  ) 

Close the socket descriptor.

Parameters:
sockfd The socket descriptor.
Returns:
Zero on success.
pj_status_t pj_sock_connect ( pj_sock_t  sockfd,
const pj_sockaddr_t serv_addr,
int  addrlen 
)

The file descriptor sockfd must refer to a socket. If the socket is of type PJ_SOCK_DGRAM then the serv_addr address is the address to which datagrams are sent by default, and the only address from which datagrams are received. If the socket is of type PJ_SOCK_STREAM or PJ_SOCK_SEQPACKET, this call attempts to make a connection to another socket. The other socket is specified by serv_addr, which is an address (of length addrlen) in the communications space of the socket. Each communications space interprets the serv_addr parameter in its own way.

Parameters:
sockfd The socket descriptor.
serv_addr Server address to connect to.
addrlen The length of server address.
Returns:
Zero on success.
pj_status_t pj_sock_getpeername ( pj_sock_t  sockfd,
pj_sockaddr_t addr,
int *  namelen 
)

Return the address of peer which is connected to socket sockfd.

Parameters:
sockfd The socket descriptor.
addr Pointer to sockaddr structure to which the address will be returned.
namelen Initially the length of the addr. Upon return the value will be set to the actual length of the address.
Returns:
Zero on success.
pj_status_t pj_sock_getsockname ( pj_sock_t  sockfd,
pj_sockaddr_t addr,
int *  namelen 
)

Return the current name of the specified socket.

Parameters:
sockfd The socket descriptor.
addr Pointer to sockaddr structure to which the address will be returned.
namelen Initially the length of the addr. Upon return the value will be set to the actual length of the address.
Returns:
Zero on success.
pj_status_t pj_sock_getsockopt ( pj_sock_t  sockfd,
pj_uint16_t  level,
pj_uint16_t  optname,
void *  optval,
int *  optlen 
)

Get socket option associated with a socket. Options may exist at multiple protocol levels; they are always present at the uppermost socket level.

Parameters:
sockfd The socket descriptor.
level The level which to get the option from.
optname The option name.
optval Identifies the buffer which the value will be returned.
optlen Initially contains the length of the buffer, upon return will be set to the actual size of the value.
Returns:
Zero on success.
pj_status_t pj_sock_listen ( pj_sock_t  sockfd,
int  backlog 
)

Listen for incoming connection. This function only applies to connection oriented sockets (such as PJ_SOCK_STREAM or PJ_SOCK_SEQPACKET), and it indicates the willingness to accept incoming connections.

Parameters:
sockfd The socket descriptor.
backlog Defines the maximum length the queue of pending connections may grow to.

)

Parse string containing IP address and optional port into socket address, possibly also with address family detection. This function supports both IPv4 and IPv6 parsing, however IPv6 parsing may only be done if IPv6 is enabled during compilation.

This function supports parsing several formats. Sample IPv4 inputs and their default results::

  • "10.0.0.1:80": address 10.0.0.1 and port 80.
  • "10.0.0.1": address 10.0.0.1 and port zero.
  • "10.0.0.1:": address 10.0.0.1 and port zero.
  • "10.0.0.1:0": address 10.0.0.1 and port zero.
  • ":80": address 0.0.0.0 and port 80.
  • ":": address 0.0.0.0 and port 0.
  • "localhost": address 127.0.0.1 and port 0.
  • "localhost:": address 127.0.0.1 and port 0.
  • "localhost:80": address 127.0.0.1 and port 80.

Sample IPv6 inputs and their default results:

  • "[fec0::01]:80": address fec0::01 and port 80
  • "[fec0::01]": address fec0::01 and port 0
  • "[fec0::01]:": address fec0::01 and port 0
  • "[fec0::01]:0": address fec0::01 and port 0
  • "fec0::01": address fec0::01 and port 0
  • "fec0::01:80": address fec0::01:80 and port 0
  • "::": address zero (::) and port 0
  • "[::]": address zero (::) and port 0
  • "[::]:": address zero (::) and port 0
  • ":::": address zero (::) and port 0
  • "[::]:80": address zero (::) and port 0
  • ":::80": address zero (::) and port 80

Note: when the IPv6 socket address contains port number, the IP part of the socket address should be enclosed with square brackets, otherwise the port number will be included as part of the IP address (see "fec0::01:80" example above).

Parameters:
af Optionally specify the address family to be used. If the address family is to be deducted from the input, specify pj_AF_UNSPEC() here. Other supported values are pj_AF_INET() and pj_AF_INET6()
options Additional options to assist the parsing, must be zero for now.
str The input string to be parsed.
addr Pointer to store the result.
Returns:
PJ_SUCCESS if the parsing is successful.
See also:
pj_sockaddr_parse2()
pj_status_t pj_sockaddr_parse2 ( int  af,
unsigned  options,
const pj_str_t str,
pj_str_t hostpart,
pj_uint16_t port,
int *  raf 
)

This function is similar to pj_sockaddr_parse(), except that it will not convert the hostpart into IP address (thus possibly resolving the hostname into a pj_sockaddr.

Unlike pj_sockaddr_parse(), this function has a limitation that if port number is specified in an IPv6 input string, the IP part of the IPv6 socket address MUST be enclosed in square brackets, otherwise the port number will be considered as part of the IPv6 IP address.

Parameters:
af Optionally specify the address family to be used. If the address family is to be deducted from the input, specify pj_AF_UNSPEC() here. Other supported values are pj_AF_INET() and pj_AF_INET6()
options Additional options to assist the parsing, must be zero for now.
str The input string to be parsed.
hostpart Optional pointer to store the host part of the socket address, with any brackets removed.
port Optional pointer to store the port number. If port number is not found, this will be set to zero upon return.
raf Optional pointer to store the detected address family of the input address.
Returns:
PJ_SUCCESS if the parsing is successful.

pj_status_t pj_sockaddr_set_port ( pj_sockaddr addr,
pj_uint16_t  hostport 
)

Set the port number of an Internet socket address.

Parameters:
addr The socket address.
hostport The port number, in host byte order.
pj_status_t pj_sockaddr_set_str_addr ( int  af,
pj_sockaddr addr,
const pj_str_t cp 
)

Set the IP address of an IPv4 or IPv6 socket address from string address, with resolving the host if necessary. The string address may be in a standard IPv6 or IPv6 address or may be a hostname. If hostname is specified, then the function will resolve the host into the IP address according to the address family.

Parameters:
af Address family.
addr The IP socket address to be set.
cp The address string, which can be in a standard IP numbers (IPv4 or IPv6) or a hostname to be resolved.
Returns:
