FBB::SocketBase(3bobcat)

NAME

FBB::SocketBase - Base class for socket-constructing classes

SYNOPSIS

#include <bobcat/socketbase>
Linking option: -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION

This class is a base class for the FBB::ServerSocket and FBB::ClientSocket classes. Since it is designed as a base class, all its constructors are protected.

NAMESPACE

FBB
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.

INHERITS FROM

FBB::InetAddress

PROTECTED CONSTRUCTORS

o SocketBase(size_t port):
This constructor creates a SocketBase to be used with ServerSocket-objects, listening on port.
This constructor throws an Errno exception if it did not properly complete.
o SocketBase(std::string const &host, unit_16_t port):
This constructor creates a FBB::SocketBase to be used with a ClientSocket-object, connecting to hostname, at port `port'.
This constructor throws an Errno exception if it did not properly complete.
o SocketBase(int socket, sockaddr_in const &address):
This constructor constructs a FBB::SocketBase object initializing its socket and FBB::InetAddress part from available external objects. The (public) copy constructor is available.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

All members of FBB::InetAddress are available, as FBB::SocketBase inherits from this class.

o bool debug() const:
This accessor returns true if the socket's debug (SO_DEBUG) socket option is active. It throws an FBB::Errno exception if the status of the debug option could not be determined.
o bool reuse() const:
This accessor returns true if the socket's reuse (SO_REUSEADDR) socket option is active. It throws an FBB::Errno exception if the status of the reuse option could not be determined.
o void setDebug(bool trueIsOn) const:
This member may be used to modify the socket's debug (SO_DEBUG) socket option. It throws an FBB::Errno exception if the socket's debug option could not be modified.
o void setReuse(bool trueIsOn) const:
This member may be used to modify the socket's reuse (SO_REUSEADDR) socket option. It throws an FBB::Errno exception if the socket's reuse option could not be modified.
o int socket() const:
This accessor returns the FBB::SocketBase's socket value.
o void verify() const:
Obsoleted, will be removed in a future Bobcat release.

EXAMPLE

The classes FBB::ClientSocket and FBB::ServerSocket were derived from SocketBase. E.g.,
#ifndef INCLUDED_BOBCAT_CLIENTSOCKET_
#define INCLUDED_BOBCAT_CLIENTSOCKET_

#include <bobcat/socketbase>
#include <string>

namespace FBB
{

class ClientSocket: public SocketBase
{
public:
// host may be address or name
ClientSocket(std::string const &host, uint16_t port);
int connect(); // returns fd (socket) to talk to the server
};
} // FBB
#endif
See the clientsocket(3bobcat) man-page for an example showing how to use FBB::ClientSocket.
