Public Member Functions

TCPSession (const IPV4Host &host, tpport_t port, size_t size=536, int pri=0, size_t stack=0)

Create a TCP socket that will be connected to a remote TCP server and that will execute under it's own thread. TCPSession (const IPV6Host &host, tpport_t port, size_t size=536, int pri=0, size_t stack=0)

TCPSession (TCPSocket &server, int pri=0, size_t stack=0)

Create a TCP socket from a bound TCP server by accepting a pending connection from that server and execute a thread for the accepted connection. TCPSession (TCPV6Socket &server, int pri=0, size_t stack=0)

virtual ~TCPSession ()

Protected Member Functions

int waitConnection (timeout_t timeout=TIMEOUT_INF)

Normally called during the thread Initial() method by default, this will wait for the socket connection to complete when connecting to a remote socket. void initial (void)

The initial method is used to esablish a connection when delayed completion is used.

Detailed Description

The TCP session is used to primarily to represent a client connection that can be managed on a separate thread.

The TCP session also supports a non-blocking connection scheme which prevents blocking during the constructor and moving the process of completing a connection into the thread that executes for the session.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::TCPSession::TCPSession (const \fBIPV4Host\fP &host, \fBtpport_t\fPport, size_tsize = \fC536\fP, intpri = \fC0\fP, size_tstack = \fC0\fP)

Create a TCP socket that will be connected to a remote TCP server and that will execute under it's own thread.

Parameters:

host internet address of remote TCP server.

port number of remote server.

size of streaming buffer.

pri execution priority relative to parent.

stack allocation needed on some platforms.

ost::TCPSession::TCPSession (const \fBIPV6Host\fP &host, \fBtpport_t\fPport, size_tsize = \fC536\fP, intpri = \fC0\fP, size_tstack = \fC0\fP)

ost::TCPSession::TCPSession (\fBTCPSocket\fP &server, intpri = \fC0\fP, size_tstack = \fC0\fP)

Create a TCP socket from a bound TCP server by accepting a pending connection from that server and execute a thread for the accepted connection.

Parameters:

server tcp socket to accept a connection from.

pri execution priority relative to parent.

stack allocation needed on some platforms.

Member Function Documentation

void ost::TCPSession::initial (void)\fC [protected]\fP, \fC [virtual]\fP

The initial method is used to esablish a connection when delayed completion is used. This assures the constructor terminates without having to wait for a connection request to complete.

Reimplemented from ost::Thread.

int ost::TCPSession::waitConnection (\fBtimeout_t\fPtimeout = \fC\fBTIMEOUT_INF\fP\fP)\fC [protected]\fP

Normally called during the thread Initial() method by default, this will wait for the socket connection to complete when connecting to a remote socket. One might wish to use setCompletion() to change the socket back to blocking I/O calls after the connection completes. To implement the session one must create a derived class which implements run().

Returns:

0 if successful, -1 if timed out.

Parameters:

timeout to wait for completion in milliseconds.
