Read into the given buffer up to bufferLen bytes data from this socket. Call connect() before calling recv()

Parameters
bufferbuffer to receive the data
bufferLenmaximum number of bytes to read into buffer
Returns
number of bytes read, 0 for EOF, and -1 for error
Exceptions
SocketExceptionthrown if unable to receive data

Returns
foreign address
Exceptions
SocketExceptionthrown if unable to fetch foreign address

string Socket::getLocalAddress ( )
throw (SocketException
)

Get the local address

Returns
local address of socket
Exceptions

void Socket::setLocalPort ( unsigned short  localPort)
throw (SocketException
)
inherited

Set the local port to the specified port and the local address to any interface

Parameters
localPortlocal port
Exceptions
SocketExceptionthrown if setting local port fails

Definition at line 135 of file PracticalSocket.cpp.

void Socket::setLocalAddressAndPort ( const string &  localAddress,
unsigned short  localPort = 0 
)
throw (SocketException
)
inherited

Set the local port to the specified port and the local address to the specified address. If you omit the port, a random port will be selected.

Parameters
localAddresslocal address
localPortlocal port
Exceptions
SocketExceptionthrown if setting local port or address fails

void Socket::cleanUp ( )
throw (SocketException
)
staticinherited

If WinSock, unload the WinSock DLLs; otherwise do nothing. We ignore this in our sample client code but include it in the library for completeness. If you are running on Windows and you are concerned about DLL resource consumption, call this after you are done with all Socket instances. If you execute this on Windows while some instance of Socket exists, you are toast. For portability of client code, this is an empty function on non-Windows platforms so you can always include it.

Parameters
bufferbuffer to receive the data
bufferLenmaximum number of bytes to read into buffer
Returns
number of bytes read, 0 for EOF, and -1 for error
Exceptions
SocketExceptionthrown WinSock clean up fails

Definition at line 159 of file PracticalSocket.cpp.

unsigned short Socket::resolveService ( const string &  service,
const string &  protocol = "tcp" 
)
staticinherited

Resolve the specified service for the specified protocol to the corresponding port number in host byte order

Parameters
serviceservice to resolve (e.g., "http")
protocolprotocol of service to resolve. Default is "tcp".
