NAME
UDPTransmit - Representing half of a two-way UDP connection, the UDP transmitter can broadcast data to another selected peer host or to an entire subnet. Unreliable Datagram Peer Associations.
SYNOPSIS
#include <socket.h>
Inherits UDPSocket.
Inherited by UDPDuplex.
Public Methods
int transmit (const char *buffer, size_t len)
Transmit 'send' to use 'connected' send rather than sendto. bool isOutputReady (unsigned long timeout=0l)
See if output queue is empty for sending more packets. Error setRouting (bool enable)
Error setTypeOfService (Tos tos)
Error setBroadcast (bool enable)
Protected Methods
UDPTransmit ()
Create a UDP transmitter. UDPTransmit (const InetAddress &bind, tpport_t port=5005)
Create a UDP transmitter, bind it to a specific interface and port address so that other UDP sockets on remote machines (or the same host) may find and send UDP messages to it, and associate it with a given port on a peer host. Error connect (const InetHostAddress &host, tpport_t port)
Associate this socket with a specified peer host. Error connect (const BroadcastAddress &subnet, tpport_t port)
Associate this socket with a subnet of peer hosts for subnet broadcasting. Error connect (const InetMcastAddress &mgroup, tpport_t port)
Associate this socket with a multicast group. Error disconnect (void)
Disassociate this socket from any host connection. int send (const void *buf, int len)
Transmit 'send' to use 'connected' send rather than sendto. void endTransmitter (void)
Stop transmitter. SOCKET getTransmitter (void)
Error setMulticast (bool enable)
Error setTimeToLive (unsigned char ttl)

CONSTRUCTOR & DESTRUCTOR DOCUMENTATION
UDPTransmit::UDPTransmit () [protected]
Create a UDP transmitter.
UDPTransmit::UDPTransmit (const InetAddress & bind, tpport_t port = 5005) [protected]
Create a UDP transmitter, bind it to a specific interface and port address so that other UDP sockets on remote machines (or the same host) may find and send UDP messages to it, and associate it with a given port on a peer host.
On failure to bind, an exception is thrown. This class is only used to build the UDP Duplex.
Parameters:
- bind
-
address to bind this socket to.
- port
-
number to bind this socket to.
MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
Error UDPTransmit::connect (const InetMcastAddress & mgroup, tpport_t port) [protected]
Associate this socket with a multicast group.
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error.
Parameters:
- mgroup
-
address of the multicast group to send to.
- port
-
port number
Error UDPTransmit::connect (const BroadcastAddress & subnet, tpport_t port) [protected]
Associate this socket with a subnet of peer hosts for subnet broadcasting.
The server must be able to assert broadcast permission for the socket.
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error.
Parameters:
- subnet
-
subnet address to broadcast into.
- port
-
transport port to broadcast into.
Error UDPTransmit::connect (const InetHostAddress & host, tpport_t port) [protected]
Associate this socket with a specified peer host.
The port number from the constructor will be used. All UDP packets will be sent to and received from the specified host.
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error.
Parameters:
- host
-
address to connect socket to.
- port
-
to connect socket to.
Reimplemented in UDPDuplex.
Error UDPTransmit::disconnect (void) [protected]
Disassociate this socket from any host connection.
No data should be read or written until a connection is established.
Reimplemented in UDPDuplex.
void UDPTransmit::endTransmitter (void) [inline, protected]
Stop transmitter.
SOCKET UDPTransmit::getTransmitter (void) [inline, protected]
bool UDPTransmit::isOutputReady (unsigned long timeout = 0l) [inline]
See if output queue is empty for sending more packets.
Returns: true if output available.
Parameters:
- timeout
-
in milliseconds to wait.
int UDPTransmit::send (const void * buf, int len) [inline, protected]
Transmit 'send' to use 'connected' send rather than sendto.
Returns: number of bytes sent.
Parameters:
- buf
-
address of buffer to send.
- len
-
of bytes to send.
Error UDPTransmit::setBroadcast (bool enable) [inline]
Reimplemented from Socket.
Error UDPTransmit::setMulticast (bool enable) [inline, protected]
Reimplemented from Socket.
Error UDPTransmit::setRouting (bool enable) [inline]
Reimplemented from Socket.
Error UDPTransmit::setTimeToLive (unsigned char ttl) [inline, protected]
Reimplemented from Socket.
Error UDPTransmit::setTypeOfService (Tos tos) [inline]
Reimplemented from Socket.
int UDPTransmit::transmit (const char * buffer, size_t len) [inline]
Transmit 'send' to use 'connected' send rather than sendto.
Note: Windows does not support MSG_DONTWAIT, so it is defined as 0 on that platform.
Returns: number of bytes sent.
Parameters:
- buffer
-
address of buffer to send.
- len
-
of bytes to send.
