constructors

make

close

Close this socket and its associated IO streams.

config

in

Get the input stream used to read data from the socket.

isBound

Is this socket bound to a local address and port.

isClosed

Is this socket closed.

isConnected

Is this socket connected to the remote host.

localAddr

localPort

Get the bound local port or null if unbound.

options

Access the SocketOptions used to tune this socket.

out

shutdownIn

Place input stream for socket at "end of stream".

shutdownOut

Disables the output stream for this socket.

upgradeTls

Get a new TCP socket that is upgraded to use TLS.

Slot Details

bind

src This bind(IpAddr? addr, Int? port)

Bind this socket to the specified local address. If addr is null then the default IpAddr for the local host is selected. If port is null an ephemeral port is selected. Throw IOErr if the port is already bound or the bind fails. Return this.

close

src Bool close()

Close this socket and its associated IO streams. This method is guaranteed to never throw an IOErr. Return true if the socket was closed successfully or false if the socket was closed abnormally.

config

src SocketConfig config()

Get the socket configuration for this socket.

connect

src This connect(IpAddr addr, Int port, Duration? timeout := this.config().connectTimeout)

Connect this socket to the specified address and port. This method will block until the connection is made. Throw IOErr if there is a connection error. If a non-null timeout is specified, then block no longer then the specified timeout before raising an IOErr. If timeout is null, then a system default is used. The default timeout is configured via SocketConfig.connectTimeout.

in

src InStream in()

Get the input stream used to read data from the socket. The input stream is automatically buffered according to SocketOptions.inBufferSize. If not connected then throw IOErr.

isBound

src Bool isBound()

Is this socket bound to a local address and port.

isClosed

src Bool isClosed()

Is this socket closed.

isConnected

src Bool isConnected()

Is this socket connected to the remote host.

localAddr

src IpAddr? localAddr()

Get the bound local address or null if unbound.

localPort

src Int? localPort()

Get the bound local port or null if unbound.

make

src new make(SocketConfig config := SocketConfig.cur())

Make a new unbound, unconnected TCP socket. The socket will be configured using the given socket configuration. The following configuration applies to a TCP socket:

options

src @Deprecated { msg="Use SocketConfig" }
SocketOptions options()

Access the SocketOptions used to tune this socket. The following options apply to TcpSockets:

  • inBufferSize
  • outBufferSize
  • keepAlive
  • receiveBufferSize
  • sendBufferSize
  • reuseAddr
  • linger
  • receiveTimeout
  • noDelay
  • trafficClass Accessing other option fields will throw UnsupportedErr.

out

src OutStream out()

Get the output stream used to write data to the socket. The output stream is automatically buffered according to SocketOptions.outBufferSize If not connected then throw IOErr.

remoteAddr

src IpAddr? remoteAddr()

Get the remote address or null if not connected.

remotePort

src Int? remotePort()

Get the remote port or null if not connected.

shutdownIn

src Void shutdownIn()

Place input stream for socket at "end of stream". Any data sent to input side of socket is acknowledged and then silently discarded. Raise IOErr if error occurs.

shutdownOut

src Void shutdownOut()

Disables the output stream for this socket. Any previously written data will be sent followed by TCP's normal connection termination sequence. Raise IOErr if error occurs.

upgradeTls

src TcpSocket upgradeTls(IpAddr? addr := null, Int? port := null)

Get a new TCP socket that is upgraded to use TLS. If connecting through a web proxy, specify the destination address and port.
