20 /****h* silcutil/SILC Socket Stream Interface
24 * Implementation of SILC Socket Stream. SILC Socket Stream can be used
25 * read data from and write data to a socket connection. The SILC Socket
26 * Stream provides also Quality of Service (QoS) support that can be used
27 * to control the throughput of the stream. It also supports both TCP and
28 * UDP, and IPv4 and IPv6.
30 * SILC Socket Stream is not thread-safe. If the same socket stream must be
31 * used in multithreaded environment concurrency control must be employed.

38 /****d* silcutil/SilcSocketStreamAPI/SilcSocketStreamStatus
42 * typedef enum { ... } SilcStreamStatus;
46 * Socket Stream status. This status is returned into the
47 * SilcSocketStreamCallback function after the socket stream is
53 SILC_SOCKET_OK, /* Normal status */
54 SILC_SOCKET_UNKNOWN_IP, /* Remote does not have IP address */
55 SILC_SOCKET_UNKNOWN_HOST, /* Remote does not have host name */
56 SILC_SOCKET_NO_MEMORY, /* System out of memory */
57 SILC_SOCKET_ERROR, /* Unknown error */

61 /****f* silcutil/SilcSocketStreamAPI/SilcSocketStreamCallback
65 * typedef void (*SilcSocketStreamCallback)(SilcSocketStreamStatus status,
71 * Callback function of this type is called after the socket stream
72 * creation is completed. If the `stream' is NULL the socket stream could
73 * not be created or the socket connection is not otherwise allowed. The
74 * `status' will indicate the error status. In case error ocurrs the
75 * associated socket has already been destroyed. The `stream' is socket
76 * stream representing the socket connection and silc_socket_stream_*
77 * functions can be used to access the stream. All other silc_stream_*
78 * functions can also be used to read data, send data, and otherwise

91 * SilcBool require_fqdn,
92 * SilcSchedule schedule,
93 * SilcSocketStreamCallback callback,
98 * Creates TCP socket stream of the TCP connection indicated by `sock'.
99 * The stream can be destroyed by calling the silc_stream_destroy. Data
100 * can be sent and received from the stream by calling silc_stream_write
101 * and silc_stream_read. The creation process is asynchronous since
102 * socket connection information, such as hostname and IP address are
103 * resolved, so SilcAsyncOperation is returned which can be used to cancel
104 * the creation process. The `callback' will be called to return the
105 * created socket stream. To destroy the stream call silc_stream_destroy.
107 * If the `lookup' is TRUE then this will perform IP and hostname lookup
108 * for the socket. If the `require_fqdn' is TRUE then the socket must
109 * have valid hostname and IP address, otherwise the stream creation will
110 * fail. If it is FALSE then only valid IP address is required. Note that,
111 * if the `lookup' is FALSE then the hostname, IP and port information
112 * will not be available from the socket stream. In that case this will
113 * also return NULL as the `callback' is called immediately.

134 * Creates UDP socket stream of the UDP connection indicated by `sock'.
135 * The stream can be destroyed by calling the silc_stream_destroy.
136 * The `connected' defines whether the socket is in connected or in
137 * connectionless state.
139 * Note that, UDP packets may be read only through the notifier
140 * callback (see silc_stream_set_notifier), when SILC_STREAM_CAN_READ
141 * is returned to the callback. Because of this the notifier callback
144 * Note that, UDP packet sending using silc_stream_write and receiving
145 * with silc_stream_read works only if the `sock' is a UDP socket in a
146 * connected state. In connectionless state sending packets with
147 * silc_stream_write is possible only if the remote address and port
148 * has been set with silc_socket_stream_set_info. If it is not set
149 * in connectionless state packets may be sent only by using the
150 * silc_net_udp_send function. In connectionless state packets may be
151 * received only by using silc_net_udp_receive.
