Detailed Description

RWSecureSocketListener creates a secure socket listener, which waits on a user-defined socket address for incoming connections. Connections are obtained as RWSecureSocketPortal instances.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ RWSecureSocketListener() [1/3]

RWSecureSocketListener::RWSecureSocketListener ( )

Creates an uninitialized secure socket listener. Self cannot be used until is initialized using listen().

◆ RWSecureSocketListener() [2/3]

RWSecureSocketListener::RWSecureSocketListener	(	const RWSockAddrBase &	addr,
		const RWSecureSocketContext &	context,
		int	backlog = 5 )

Sets up a listener on addr using context, and sets up a queue to wait for connections. The backlog parameter specifies the number of incoming connection requests that the protocol software enqueues while a connection is being processed.

Note: This constructor initializes a socket and sets the SO_REUSEADDR option on the socket. If you do not want this option to be set, pass an initalized socket to RWSecureSocketListener(const RWSecureSocket&,WhoShouldClose). See section "Socket Security" under Chapter 8, "The Windows Socket Adapter" in the Essential Networking Module User's Guide for more information.

◆ RWSecureSocketListener() [3/3]

RWSecureSocketListener::RWSecureSocketListener	(	const RWSecureSocket &	socket,
		WhoShouldClose	who = Portal )

Creates a listening portal to the communications channel, where socket is the socket doing the listening. This constructor is the only way to create a socket listener whose underlying socket is not closed when portals are not using it.

◆ ~RWSecureSocketListener()

RWSecureSocketListener::~RWSecureSocketListener ( )

Closes the socket if self is the last referencing portal and WhoShouldClose is not Application.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accept()

RWSecureSocketPortal RWSecureSocketListener::accept ( RWSockAddr * addr = 0 ) const

Receives the next waiting connection. The address of the connecting client will be stored in the RWSockAddr referenced by addr.

◆ getSocket()

RWSecureSocket RWSecureSocketListener::getSocket ( ) const

Returns a copy of the RWSecureSocket underlying this RWSecureSocketListener.

◆ listen()

void RWSecureSocketListener::listen	(	const RWSockAddrBase &	addr,
		const RWSecureSocketContext &	context,
		int	backlog = 5 )

Binds the listener to addr using context, and sets up a queue to wait for connections. The backlog parameter specifies the number of incoming connection requests that the protocol software enqueues while a connection is being processed.

Note: This function initializes a socket and sets the SO_REUSEADDR option on the socket. If you do not want this option to be set, pass an initalized socket to RWSecureSocketListener(const RWSecureSocket&,WhoShouldClose). See section "Socket Security" under Chapter 8, "The Windows Socket Adapter" in the Essential Networking Module User's Guide for more information.

◆ operator()()

RWSecureSocketPortal RWSecureSocketListener::operator() ( RWSockAddr * addr = 0 ) const
