net #

Description:

net provides networking functions. It is mostly a wrapper to BSD sockets, so you can listen on a port, connect to remote TCP/UDP services, and communicate with them.

fn addr_from_socket_handle(handle int) Addr

addr_from_socket_handle returns an address, based on the given integer socket handle

fn close(handle int) !

close a socket, given its file descriptor handle.

fn dial_tcp(address string) !&TcpConn

fn dial_tcp_with_bind(saddr string, laddr string) !&TcpConn

bind local address and dial.

fn dial_udp(raddr string) !&UdpConn

fn listen_tcp(family AddrFamily, saddr string) !&TcpListener

fn listen_udp(laddr string) !&UdpConn

fn new_ip(port u16, addr [4]u8) Addr

new_ip creates a new Addr from the IPv4 address family, based on the given port and addr

fn new_ip6(port u16, addr [16]u8) Addr

new_ip6 creates a new Addr from the IP6 address family, based on the given port and addr

fn resolve_addrs(addr string, family AddrFamily, @type SocketType) ![]Addr

resolve_addrs converts the given addr, family and @type to a list of addresses

fn resolve_addrs_fuzzy(addr string, @type SocketType) ![]Addr

resolve_addrs converts the given addr and @type to a list of addresses

fn resolve_ipaddrs(addr string, family AddrFamily, typ SocketType) ![]Addr

resolve_ipaddrs converts the given addr, family and typ to a list of addresses

fn shutdown(handle int, config ShutdownConfig) int

shutdown shutsdown a socket, given its file descriptor handle.
By default it shuts it down in both directions, both for reading and for writing. You can change that using net.shutdown(handle, how: .read) or net.shutdown(handle, how: .write)

fn socket_error(potential_code int) !int

fn socket_error_message(potential_code int, s string) !int

fn split_address(addr string) !(string, u16)

split address splits an address into its host name and its port

fn tcp_socket_from_handle_raw(sockfd int) TcpSocket

tcp_socket_from_handle_raw is similar to tcp_socket_from_handle, but it does not modify any socket options

fn validate_port(port int) !u16

validate_port checks whether a port is valid and returns the port or an error

fn wrap_error(error_code int) !

fn (mut s TcpSocket) set_option_bool(opt SocketOption, value bool) !

fn (mut s TcpSocket) set_dualstack(on bool) !

fn (mut s TcpSocket) set_option_int(opt SocketOption, value int) !

	write_deadline time.Time
	read_deadline  time.Time
	read_timeout   time.Duration
	write_timeout  time.Duration
	is_blocking    bool
}

fn (c &TcpConn) addr() !Addr

fn (mut c TcpConn) close() !

fn (mut con TcpConn) get_blocking() bool

get_blocking returns whether the connection is in a blocking state, that is calls to .read_line, C.recv etc will block till there is new data arrived, instead of returning immediately.

fn (c &TcpConn) peer_addr() !Addr

fn (c &TcpConn) peer_ip() !string

fn (c TcpConn) read(mut buf []u8) !int

fn (mut c TcpConn) read_deadline() !time.Time

fn (mut con TcpConn) read_line() string

read_line is a simple, non customizable, blocking line reader.
It will return a line, ending with LF, or just '', on EOF.
Note: if you want more control over the buffer, please use a buffered IO reader instead: io.new_buffered_reader({reader: io.make_reader(con)})

fn (mut con TcpConn) read_line_max(max_line_len int) string

read_line_max is a simple, non customizable, blocking line reader.
It will return a line, ending with LF, '' on EOF.
It stops reading, when the result line length exceeds max_line_len.

fn (c TcpConn) read_ptr(buf_ptr &u8, len int) !int

fn (c &TcpConn) read_timeout() time.Duration

fn (mut con TcpConn) set_blocking(state bool) !

set_blocking will change the state of the connection to either blocking, when state is true, or non blocking (false).
The default for net tcp connections is the non blocking mode.
Calling .read_line will set the connection to blocking mode.

fn (mut c TcpConn) set_read_deadline(deadline time.Time)

fn (mut c TcpConn) set_read_timeout(t time.Duration)

fn (mut c TcpConn) set_sock() !

set_sock initialises the c.sock field. It should be called after .accept_only()!.
Note: just use .accept()!. In most cases it is simpler, and calls .set_sock()! for you.

fn (mut c TcpConn) set_write_deadline(deadline time.Time)

fn (mut c TcpConn) set_write_timeout(t time.Duration)

fn (c TcpConn) str() string

fn (c TcpConn) wait_for_read() !

fn (mut c TcpConn) wait_for_write() !

fn (mut c TcpConn) write(bytes []u8) !int

write blocks and attempts to write all data

fn (mut c TcpConn) write_deadline() !time.Time

fn (mut c TcpConn) write_ptr(b &u8, len int) !int

write_ptr blocks and attempts to write all data

fn (mut c TcpConn) write_string(s string) !int

write_string blocks and attempts to write all data

fn (c &TcpConn) write_timeout() time.Duration

struct TcpListener {
pub mut:
	sock TcpSocket
mut:
	accept_timeout  time.Duration
	accept_deadline time.Time
}

fn (mut l TcpListener) accept() !&TcpConn

accept a tcp connection from an external source to the listener l.

fn (mut l TcpListener) accept_only() !&TcpConn

accept_only accepts a tcp connection from an external source to the listener l.
Unlike accept, accept_only will not call .set_sock()! on the result, and is thus faster.

Note: you need to call .set_sock()! manually, before using the connection after calling .accept_only()!, but that does not have to happen in the same thread that called .accept_only()!.
The intention of this API, is to have a more efficient way to accept connections, that are later processed by a thread pool, while the main thread remains active, so that it can accept other connections.
See also vlib/vweb/vweb.v .

If you do not need that, just call .accept()! instead, which will call .set_sock()! for you.
