## Detailed Description

The inetsocketserver class allows you to write programs that can talk to other programs across a network over TCP stream sockets.

The inetsocketserver class provides methods for setting up sockets and accepting client connections. Its ultimate parent class, filedescriptor, provides methods for reading and writing data and closing connections.

If you need to listen on more than one socket at a time or a combination of sockets and other file descriptors, then you should use the inetsocketserver class in conjunction with the listener class.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## inetsocketserver() [1/2]

inetsocketserver::inetsocketserver | ( |  | ) |

Creates an instance of the inetsocketserver class.

## inetsocketserver() [2/2]

inetsocketserver::inetsocketserver | ( | const inetsocketserver & | i | ) |

Creates an instance of the inetsocketserver class that is a copy of "i".

## ~inetsocketserver()

virtual inetsocketserver::~inetsocketserver | ( |  | ) |

virtual

Deletes this instance of the inetsocketserver class.

## Member Function Documentation

## accept()

filedescriptor* inetsocketserver::accept | ( |  | ) |

virtual

Removes the client connection from the queue and associates a new socket with that connection. Communication with the client may be done over this new socket.

Returns an inetsocket on success and NULL on failure.

Reimplemented from server.

## bind()

bool inetsocketserver::bind | ( |  | ) |

virtual

Associates the socket with an address.

Returns true on success and false on failure.

Reimplemented from server.

## getPort()

uint16_t inetsocketserver::getPort | ( |  | ) |

Returns the inet port number that the socket is listening on. If the port has not been set, 0 is returned instead. Writes the address of the client at the other end of "sock" to "buffer".

## initialize()

bool inetsocketserver::initialize | ( | const char * | address,
|  | uint16_t | port
| ) |  |

Creates the actual socket and initializes the class to use "address" and "port" when bind() is called.

Returns true on success and false on failure.

## listen() [1/2]

bool inetsocketserver::listen | ( | const char * | address,
|  | uint16_t | port,
|  | int32_t | backlog
| ) |  |

Convenience method that calls initialize(), reuseAddresses(), bind() and listen(). If you need to set other socket options or do anything else special between those discrete steps then you should use the methods individually.

Listens on "address" and "port" and allow "backlog" connections to pile up before refusing them.

To listen on all addresses enter a NULL for "address". Entering a value of 0 for the "port" causes the server to listen on an arbitrary port.

The getPort() method can be used later to discover this port.

Returns true on success and false on failure.

## listen() [2/2]

bool inetsocketserver::listen | ( | int32_t | backlog | ) |

virtual

Waits until a client connects then places that connection in queue. Up to "backlog" connections may be queued before future conenctions are refused.

Returns true on success and false on failure.

Reimplemented from socketserver.

## operator=()

inetsocketserver& inetsocketserver::operator= | ( | const inetsocketserver & | i | ) |

Makes this instance of the inetsocketserver class identical to "i".
