Member Functions

address inline

SocketAddress address() const;

Returns the IP address and port number of the socket.

available inline

close inline

void close();

static void error();

Throws an appropriate exception for the last error.

fromFileDescriptor static

static Socket fromFileDescriptor(
int fd

) const;

Returns the value of the socket option specified by level and option.

getReceiveBufferSize inline

Returns the size of the receive buffer.

The returned value may be different than the value previously set with setReceiveBufferSize(), as the system is free to adjust the value.

getReceiveTimeout inline

Returns the value of the SO_REUSEPORT socket option.

Returns false if the socket implementation does not support SO_REUSEPORT.

getSendBufferSize inline

int getSendBufferSize() const;

Returns the size of the send buffer.

The returned value may be different than the value previously set with setSendBufferSize(), as the system is free to adjust the value.

getSendTimeout inline

Poco::Timespan getSendTimeout() const;

Returns the send timeout for the socket.

The returned timeout may be different than the timeout previously set with setSendTimeout(), as the system is free to adjust the value.

impl inline

SocketImpl * impl() const;

init inline

void init(
int af
);

Creates the underlying system socket for the given address family.

Normally, this method should not be called directly, as socket creation will be handled automatically. There are a few situations where calling this method after creation of the Socket object makes sense. One example is setting a socket option before calling bind() on a ServerSocket.

isDatagram inline

bool isDatagram() const;

Returns true if socket is a datagram socket, false otherwise.

isNull inline

bool isNull() const;

Returns true if pointer to implementation is null.

isRaw inline

bool isRaw() const;

Returns true if socket is a raw socket, false otherwise.

isStream inline

bool isStream() const;

Returns true if socket is a stream socket, false otherwise.

lastError static

static int lastError();

Returns the last error code.

lastErrorDesc static

static std::string lastErrorDesc();

Returns the last error description.

makeBufVec static

static SocketBufVec makeBufVec(
std::size_t size,
std::size_t bufLen
);

Creates and returns a vector of requested size, with allocated buffers and lengths set accordingly. This utility function works well when all buffers are of same size.

makeBufVec static

static SocketBufVec makeBufVec(
const std::vector < char * > & vec
);

Creates and returns a vector of requested size, with buffers pointing to the supplied data (so, vec must remain available at the time of use) and lengths set accordingly. Notes:

makeBufVec static

static SocketBufVec makeBufVec(
const std::vector < std::string > & vec
);

Creates and returns a vector of requested size, with buffers pointing to the supplied data (so, vec must remain available at the time of use) and lengths set accordingly. Note:: this function is not suitable for creation of buffers used for writing (ie. reading from socket into buffers).

makeBuffer static

static SocketBuf makeBuffer(
void * buffer,
std::size_t length
);

Creates and returns buffer. Suitable for creating the appropriate buffer for the platform.

operator != inline

bool operator != (
const Socket & socket
) const;

Returns false if both sockets share the same SocketImpl, true otherwise.

operator < inline

bool operator < (
const Socket & socket
) const;

operator <= inline

bool operator <= (
const Socket & socket
) const;

operator =

Socket & operator = (
const Socket & socket
);

Assignment operator.

Releases the socket's SocketImpl and attaches the SocketImpl from the other socket and increments the reference count of the SocketImpl.

operator == inline

bool operator == (
const Socket & socket
) const;

Returns true if both sockets share the same SocketImpl, false otherwise.

operator > inline

bool operator > (
const Socket & socket
) const;

operator >= inline

bool operator >= (
const Socket & socket
) const;

peerAddress inline

SocketAddress peerAddress() const;

Returns the IP address and port number of the peer socket.

poll inline

bool poll(
const Poco::Timespan & timeout,
int mode
) const;

Determines the status of the socket, using a call to poll() or select().

The mode argument is constructed by combining the values of the SelectMode enumeration.

Returns true if the next operation corresponding to mode will not block, false otherwise.

secure inline

bool secure() const;

Returns true iff the socket's connection is secure (using SSL or TLS).

select static

static int select(
SocketList & readList,
SocketList & writeList,
SocketList & exceptList,
const Poco::Timespan & timeout
);

Determines the status of one or more sockets, using a call to select().

ReadList contains the list of sockets which should be checked for readability.

WriteList contains the list of sockets which should be checked for writeability.

ExceptList contains a list of sockets which should be checked for a pending error.

Returns the number of sockets ready.

After return,

If the total number of sockets passed in readList, writeList and exceptList is zero, select() will return immediately and the return value will be 0.

If one of the sockets passed to select() is closed while select() runs, select will return immediately. However, the closed socket will not be included in any list. In this case, the return value may be greater than the sum of all sockets in all list.

This function is deprecated and may be removed in the future releases, please use PollSet class instead.
