Detailed Description

Encapsulates a connection to a remote host, independent of the transport type.

Connection provides automatic header negotiation, as well as easy ways of reading and writing arbitrary amounts of data without having to set up your own state machines.

void ros::Connection::read	(	uint32_t	size,
		const ReadFinishedFunc &	finished_callback
	)

Read a number of bytes, calling a callback when finished.

read() will not queue up multiple reads. Once read() has been called, it is not valid to call it again until the finished callback has been called. It is valid to call read() from within the finished callback.

The finished callback is of the form void(const ConnectionPtr&, const boost::shared_array<uint8_t>&, uint32_t)

Note:: The finished callback may be called from within this call to read() if the data has already arrived

Parameters:

size	The size, in bytes, of data to read
finished_callback	The function to call when this read is finished

Definition at line 262 of file connection.cpp.

void ros::Connection::readTransport ( ) [private]

Read data off our transport. Also manages calling the read callback. If there is any data to be read, read() will read it until the fixed read buffer is filled.

Definition at line 93 of file connection.cpp.

void ros::Connection::sendHeaderError ( const std::string & error_message )

Send a header error message, of the form "error=<message>". Drops the connection once the data has written successfully (or fails to write)

Parameters:

error_message The error message

Definition at line 371 of file connection.cpp.

void ros::Connection::setHeader ( const Header & header ) [inline]

Set the Header associated with this connection (used with UDPROS, which receives the connection during XMLRPC negotiation).

void ros::Connection::setHeaderReceivedCallback ( const HeaderReceivedFunc & func )

Set the header receipt callback.

Definition at line 449 of file connection.cpp.

void ros::Connection::write	(	const boost::shared_array< uint8_t > &	buffer,
		uint32_t	size,
		const WriteFinishedFunc &	finished_callback,
		bool	immedate = `true`
	)

Write a buffer of bytes, calling a callback when finished.

write() will not queue up multiple writes. Once write() has been called, it is not valid to call it again until the finished callback has been called. It is valid to call write() from within the finished callback.

* The finished callback is of the form void(const ConnectionPtr&)

Note:: The finished callback may be called from within this call to write() if the data can be written immediately

Parameters:

buffer	The buffer of data to write
size	The size of the buffer, in bytes
finished_callback	The function to call when the write has finished
immediate	Whether to immediately try to write as much data as possible to the socket or to pass the data off to the server thread

Definition at line 287 of file connection.cpp.

void ros::Connection::writeHeader	(	const M_string &	key_vals,
		const WriteFinishedFunc &	finished_callback
	)

Send a list of string key/value pairs as a header message.

Parameters:

key_vals	The values to send. Neither keys nor values can have any newlines in them
finished_callback	The function to call when the header has finished writing
