Detailed Description

Wrapper class for a TCP socket server.

The server can be created given a port and it can register callbacks for 3 events:

connect: A new client connected
disconnect: A client disconnected
message: Data sent from one of the clients

Please note that start() has to be called manually after initialization and callback registering in order to start handling socket events.

While this server implementation supports multiple (number limited by system's socket implementation) clients by default, a maximum number of allowed clients can be configured.

Member Function Documentation

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::bind ( )

private

Definition at line 126 of file tcp_server.cpp.

uint32_t urcl::comm::TCPServer::getMaxClientsAllowed ( ) const

inline

Get the maximum number of clients allowed to connect to this server.

Returns: The currently configured client limit. 0 means unlimited amount of clients allowed.

Definition at line 132 of file tcp_server.h.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::handleConnect ( )

private

Handles connection events.

Definition at line 159 of file tcp_server.cpp.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::handleDisconnect ( const int fd )

private

Definition at line 247 of file tcp_server.cpp.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::init ( )

private

Definition at line 58 of file tcp_server.cpp.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::readData ( const int fd )

private

read data from socket

Definition at line 267 of file tcp_server.cpp.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::setConnectCallback ( std::function< void(const int)> func )

inline

This callback will be triggered on clients connecting to the server.

Parameters

func	Function handling the event information. The file descriptor created by the connection event will be passed to the function.

Definition at line 72 of file tcp_server.h.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::setDisconnectCallback ( std::function< void(const int)> func )

inline

This callback will be triggered on clients disconnecting from the server.

Parameters

func	Function handling the event information. The file descriptor created by the connection event will be passed to the function.

Definition at line 83 of file tcp_server.h.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::setMaxClientsAllowed ( const uint32_t & max_clients_allowed )

inline

Set the maximum number of clients allowed to connect to this server.

0 means unlimited number of clients allowed.

Definition at line 143 of file tcp_server.h.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::setMessageCallback ( std::function< void(const int, char *)> func )

inline

This callback will be triggered on messages received on the socket.

Parameters

func	Function handling the event information. The file client's file_descriptor will be passed to the function as well as the actual message received from the client.

Definition at line 94 of file tcp_server.h.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::shutdown ( )

Shut down the event listener thread. After calling this, no events will be handled anymore, but the socket will remain open and bound to the port. Call start() in order to restart event handling.

Definition at line 107 of file tcp_server.cpp.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::spin ( )

private

Event handler. Blocks until activity on any client or connection attempt.

Definition at line 193 of file tcp_server.cpp.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::start ( )

Start event handling.

Without calling this function the socket will be advertised and bound to a tcp port, but no handling of connection requests will be performed.

Definition at line 307 of file tcp_server.cpp.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::startListen ( )

private

Definition at line 147 of file tcp_server.cpp.

void urcl::comm::TCPServer::worker ( )

private

Runs spin() as long as keep_running_ is set to true.

Definition at line 298 of file tcp_server.cpp.

bool urcl::comm::TCPServer::write	(	const int	fd,
		const uint8_t *	buf,
		const size_t	buf_len,
		size_t &	written
	)

Writes to a client.

Parameters

[in]	fd	File descriptor belonging to the client the data should be sent to. The file descriptor will be given from the connection callback.
[in]	buf	Buffer of bytes to write
[in]	buf_len	Number of bytes in the buffer
[out]	written	Number of bytes actually written

Returns: True on success, false otherwise
