Reference/es_sock
The exstreamspeed API comes with a set of simple wrapper functions over the socket library to make it easier to build networking applications. These are known collectively as the es_sock interface.
The es_sock interface differs from other exstreamspeed interfaces in that it is not object based and does not maintain state. The aim is bundle some of the most common use-cases of the socket library into a small set of easy-to-use functions. The interface is as follows:
| General Functions | |
|---|---|
| es_sock_sendbuffer | Set send buffer size socket option. |
| es_sock_recvbuffer | Set receive buffer size socket option. |
| es_sock_close | Close socket. |
| TCP/IP Specific Functions | |
| es_sock_tcpinit | Initialize tcp/ip socket. |
| es_sock_tcpnodelay | Disable nagle buffering algorithm. |
| es_sock_tcplinger | Set socket linger-on-close timeout option. |
| es_sock_tcpconnectip | Connect to remote IP address and port. |
| es_sock_tcpconnectname | Connect to remote host-name and port. |
| es_sock_tcplisten | Listen on port. |
| es_sock_tcpaccept | Accept new connection. |
| UDP/IP Specific Functions | |
| es_sock_udpinit | Initialize udp/ip socket. |
| es_sock_udpconnectip | Connect to remote IP address and port. |
| es_sock_udpconnectname | Connect to remote host-name and port. |
| es_sock_udpbind | Bind udp/ip socket to port. |
