|
---|
| 81 |
|
---|
| 82 |
|
---|
| 83 | The QSocketDevice class provides a platform-independent low-level socket API.
|
---|
| 84 |
|
---|
| 85 | <p>
|
---|
| 86 |
|
---|
| 87 | <p> This class provides a low level API for working with sockets. Users of
|
---|
| 88 | this class are assumed to have networking experience. For most users the
|
---|
| 89 | <a href="qsocket.html">QSocket</a> class provides a much easier and high level alternative, but
|
---|
| 90 | certain things (like UDP) can't be done with QSocket and if you need a
|
---|
| 91 | platform-independent API for those, QSocketDevice is the right choice.
|
---|
| 92 | <p> The essential purpose of the class is to provide a <a href="qiodevice.html">QIODevice</a> that
|
---|
| 93 | works on sockets, wrapped in a platform-independent API.
|
---|
| 94 | <p> When calling <a href="#connect">connect</a>() or <a href="#bind">bind</a>(), QSocketDevice detects the
|
---|
| 95 | protocol family (IPv4, IPv6) automatically. Passing the protocol
|
---|
| 96 | family to QSocketDevice's constructor or to <a href="#setSocket">setSocket</a>() forces
|
---|
| 97 | creation of a socket device of a specific protocol. If not set, the
|
---|
| 98 | protocol will be detected at the first call to connect() or bind().
|
---|
| 99 | <p> <p>See also <a href="qsocket.html">QSocket</a>, <a href="qsocketnotifier.html">QSocketNotifier</a>, <a href="qhostaddress.html">QHostAddress</a>, and <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>.

| 102 | <h3 class=fn><a name="Error-enum"></a>QSocketDevice::Error</h3>
|
---|
| 103 |
|
---|
| 104 | <p> This enum type describes the error states of QSocketDevice.
|
---|
| 105 | <ul>
|
---|
| 106 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::NoError</tt> - No error has occurred.
|
---|
| 107 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::AlreadyBound</tt> - The device is already bound, according to <a href="#bind">bind</a>().
|
---|
| 108 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::Inaccessible</tt> - The operating system or firewall prohibited
|
---|
| 109 | the action.
|
---|
| 110 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::NoResources</tt> - The operating system ran out of a resource.
|
---|
| 111 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::InternalError</tt> - An internal error occurred in QSocketDevice.
|
---|
| 112 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::Impossible</tt> - An attempt was made to do something which makes
|
---|
| 113 | no sense. For example:
|
---|
| 114 | <pre>
|
---|
| 115 | ::close( sd->socket() );
|
---|
| 116 | sd->writeBlock( someData, 42 );
|
---|
| 117 | </pre>
|
---|
| 118 |
|
---|
| 119 | The libc ::close() closes the socket, but QSocketDevice is not aware
|
---|
| 120 | of this. So when you call <a href="#writeBlock">writeBlock</a>(), the impossible happens.
|
---|
| 121 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::NoFiles</tt> - The operating system will not let QSocketDevice open
|
---|
| 122 | another file.
|
---|
| 123 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::ConnectionRefused</tt> - A connection attempt was rejected by the
|
---|
| 124 | peer.
|
---|
| 125 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::NetworkFailure</tt> - There is a network failure.
|
---|
| 126 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::UnknownError</tt> - The operating system did something
|
---|
| 127 | unexpected.
|
---|
| 128 | </ul>
|
---|
| 129 | <h3 class=fn><a name="Protocol-enum"></a>QSocketDevice::Protocol</h3>
|
---|
| 130 |
|
---|
| 131 | <p> This enum type describes the protocol family of the socket. Possible values
|
---|
| 132 | are:
|
---|
| 133 | <ul>
|
---|
| 134 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::IPv4</tt> - The socket is an IPv4 socket.
|
---|
| 135 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::IPv6</tt> - The socket is an IPv6 socket.
|
---|
| 136 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::Unknown</tt> - The protocol family of the socket is not known. This can
|
---|
| 137 | happen if you use QSocketDevice with an already existing socket; it
|
---|
| 138 | tries to determine the protocol family, but this can fail if the
|
---|
| 139 | protocol family is not known to QSocketDevice.

|
---|

|
---|
| 145 | <ul>
|
---|
| 146 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::Stream</tt> - a stream socket (TCP, usually)
|
---|
| 147 | <li><tt>QSocketDevice::Datagram</tt> - a datagram socket (UDP, usually)

---|
| 151 | </h3>
|
---|
| 152 | Creates a QSocketDevice object for a stream or datagram socket.
|
---|
| 153 | <p> The <em>type</em> argument must be either <a href="#Type-enum">QSocketDevice::Stream</a> for a

---|
| 154 | reliable, connection-oriented TCP socket, or <a href="#Type-enum">QSocketDevice::Datagram</a> for an unreliable UDP socket.

|
---|
| 163 | <p> The <em>protocol</em> indicates whether the socket should be of type IPv4

---|
| 165 | should avoid using (it creates an IPv4 socket, but your code is not easily
