Inheritance diagram for iNetworkConnection:

Public Methods | |
virtual bool | Send (const char *data, size_t nbytes)=0 |
Send nbytes of data over the connection. | |
virtual bool | IsConnected () const=0 |
See if the connection is still connected. | |
virtual size_t | Receive (void *buff, size_t maxbytes)=0 |
Receive data from the connection. | |
virtual size_t | Receive (void *buff, size_t maxbytes, csRef< iString > &from)=0 |
This version of Receive() is valid only for multicast connections. | |
virtual bool | IsDataWaiting () const=0 |
This provides a lightweight alternative to performing brute-force polling of Receive() to find out if any data is available. |
Detailed Description
This is a network connection interface.It represents a single network connection. All network connections must implement this interface.

This provides a lightweight alternative to performing brute-force polling of Receive() to find out if any data is available. This method will never block. You should call this function first to see if data is available, and only call Receive() if true is returned. |
|
This version of Receive() is valid only for multicast connections. It returns a 'from' parameter indicating the sender of the data. |
|
Receive data from the connection. If the endpoint is configured to block, then the function does not return until data has been read, an error has occurred, or the connection was closed. If non-blocking, then Receive() returns immediately. If data is available then, it returns the number of bytes read (<= maxbytes). If data is not available and the connection is non-blocking, then it returns 0 and GetLastError() returns CS_NET_ERR_NO_ERROR. |
|
Send nbytes of data over the connection.
