Detailed Description

Network POSIX Server.

Wrapper for cross-platform POSIX networking.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ServerSocket() [1/2]

ServerSocket::ServerSocket ( )

default

Construct a new empty Server Socket object.

Only used for late initialization, any call on an object initialized that way will fail.

ServerSocket() [2/2]

ServerSocket::ServerSocket

(

int

type

)

Construct a new Server Socket object.

Creates a server using the POSIX api.

Parameters

type	the socket type, please use SOCK_STREAM

Member Function Documentation

accept()

ClientSocket ServerSocket::accept

(

)

const

Accepts a new client.

Accepts asynchronously a new client, and gives back a wrapper for the client socket when the client is connected.

Returns

ClientSocket

bind()

bool ServerSocket::bind	(	const char *	address,
		int	port ) const

Binds the server to port / address.

Binds the server to a specific address and port to listen on.

Parameters

address	the address to bind on
port	the port to bind on

Returns

true binding was successful

false something went wrong

cleanup()

bool ServerSocket::cleanup ( )

static

Cleansup the POSIX API.

Akin to ServerSocket::init(), we need also to cleanup windows mess ! Thanks again windows ! It will never fail on a Linux Machine.

Returns

true API was cleaned up correctly

false something went wrong

close()

void ServerSocket::close

(

)

const

Closes the connection.

Manually closes the connection, should be always ran when you finished your stuff.

init()

bool ServerSocket::init ( )

static

Inits the POSIX API.

Because windows is not capable of making correct APIs, we need to initialize it, in the case we are running this code on a windows machine... Thanks windows ! It will never fail on a Linux Machine.

Returns

true API was loaded correctly

false something went wrong

start()

void ServerSocket::start

(

unsigned int

backlog

)

const

Starts the server.

Starts listening for incoming connections, with a max "acceptance" of incoming connections of backlog

Parameters

backlog

the max incoming connections
