## Detailed Description

The socketclient class provides a base class for classes that implement the client side of a client-server communication model over a socket.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## socketclient() [1/2]

socketclient::socketclient | ( |  | ) |

Creates an instance of the socketclient class.

## socketclient() [2/2]

socketclient::socketclient | ( | const socketclient & | c | ) |

Creates an instance of the socketclient class that is a copy of "c".

## ~socketclient()

virtual socketclient::~socketclient | ( |  | ) |

virtual

Deletes this instance of the socketclient class.

## Member Function Documentation

## ioCtl()

virtual int32_t socketclient::ioCtl | ( | int32_t | command,
|  | void * | arg
| ) |  | const

virtual

Use the ioctl() system call to perform various low-level file descriptor operations.

Reimplemented from filedescriptor.

## isUsingNonBlockingMode()

virtual bool socketclient::isUsingNonBlockingMode | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Returns true if the file descriptor is in non-blocking mode and false otherwise.

Reimplemented from filedescriptor.

## operator=()

socketclient& socketclient::operator= | ( | const socketclient & | c | ) |

Makes this instance of the socketclient class idenitcal to "c".

## supportsBlockingNonBlockingModes()

virtual bool socketclient::supportsBlockingNonBlockingModes | ( |  | ) |

virtual

Returns true if the client socket supports blocking/nonblocking modes and false otherwise.

Reimplemented from filedescriptor.

## useBlockingMode()

virtual bool socketclient::useBlockingMode | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Puts the client socket in blocking mode. Returns true on success and false on failure. Returns false if the system doesn't support blocking/nonblocking modes.

Reimplemented from filedescriptor.

## useNonBlockingMode()

virtual bool socketclient::useNonBlockingMode | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Puts the client socket in non-blocking mode. Returns true on success and false on failure. Returns false if the system doesn't support blocking/nonblocking modes.

Reimplemented from filedescriptor.
