Inheritance diagram for KExtendedSocket:

Detailed Description
The extended socket class.an extended socket.This class should be used instead of KSocket whenever the user needs fine-grained control over the socket being created. Unlike KSocket, which does everything at once, without much intervention, KExtendedSocket allows intervention at every step of the process and the setting of parameters.
This class allows for the creation of both server and client sockets. The only difference is that the passiveSocket flag must be passed either to the constructor or to setSocketFlags(). If passiveSocket is used, the class will enable functions listen() and accept() and related signals, and will also disable readBlock() and writeBlock().
To create a Unix socket, one would pass flag unixSocket to the constructor or setSocketFlags(). The hostname and service/port can be set to whatever is necessary. If no hostname is given, but a service/port is, the socket created will be implementation dependant (usually in /tmp). In any other case, the fields will be concatenated.
To create an Internet socket, inetSocket flag can be used. If, on the other hand a specific IP protocol is desired, ipv4Socket and/or ipv6Socket can be used.
Note that the socket type selection flags are cumulative. One could select Unix and Internet sockets by using unixSocket | inetSocket. Or, for instance, to make sure only IPv4 and IPv6 sockets are selected, even if future implementations support newer IP protocols, ipv4Socket | ipv6Socket is your guy.
- Deprecated:
- This class is now deprecated.

Member Function Documentation
|
Accepts an incoming connection from the socket. If this socket is in blocking mode, this function will block until a connection is received. Otherwise, it might return with error. The sock parameter will be initialised with the newly created socket. Upon successful acception (i.e., this function returns 0), the newly created socket will be already connected. The socket will be unbuffered and readyRead() and readyWrite() signals will be disabled.

|
Closes the socket. If we have data still in the write buffer yet to be sent, the socket won't be closed right now. It'll be closed after we managed to send everything out. If you want to close the socket now, you may want to call flush() first, and then closeNow(). Reimplemented from QIODevice. Definition at line 1261 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Closes the socket now, discarding the contents of the write buffer, if any. The read buffer's contents are kept until they are emptied by read operations or the class is destroyed. Implements KBufferedIO. Definition at line 1295 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Attempts to connect to the remote host. After successful connection (return value 0), the socket will be ready for I/O operations. Note, however, that not all signals may be enabled for emission by this socket:
Definition at line 978 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
This signal is emitted whenever our asynchronous connection attempt failed to all hosts listed.
|
|
This signal is emitted whenever we connected asynchronously to a host.
|
|
Toggles the emission of the readyRead signal. Note that this signal is emitted every time more data is available to be read, so you might get flooded with it being emitted every time, when in non-buffered mode. However, in buffered mode, this signal will be emitted only when there is data coming in from the wire. By default, this flag is set to false, i.e., signal not being emitted.
Implements KAsyncIO. Definition at line 1601 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Toggles the emission of the readyWrite signal. Note that this signal is emitted only when the OS is ready to receive more data, which means that the write buffer is empty. And when that is reached, this signal will possibly be emitted on every loop, so you might want to disable it. By default, this flag is set to false.
Implements KAsyncIO. Definition at line 1616 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Returns the file descriptor.
Definition at line 498 of file kextsock.h. |
|
Flushes the socket buffer. You need not call this method during normal operation as we will try and send everything as soon as possible. However, if you want to make sure that data in the buffer is being sent at this moment, you can call this function. It will try to send as much data as possible, but it will stop as soon as the kernel cannot receive any more data, and would possibly block. By repeatedly calling this function, the behavior will be like that of a blocking socket. Indeed, if this function is called with the kernel not ready to receive data, it will block, unless this is a non-blocking socket. This function does not touch the read buffer. You can empty it by calling readBlock() with a null destination buffer. Reimplemented from QIODevice. Definition at line 1353 of file kextsock.cpp. |

Gets a single character (unsigned char) from the stream.

|
Performs lookup on the given hostname/port combination and returns a list of matching addresses. The error code can be transformed into string by KExtendedSocket::strError() with code of IO_LookupError. IMPORTANT: the result values of the QPtrList must be deleted after use. So, if you don't copy the KAddressInfo objects, the best way to assure that is to call setAutoDelete(true) on the list right after this function returns. If you do copy the results out, you must assure that the objects get deleted when they are not needed any more.
Definition at line 1989 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Performs lookup on the addresses we were given before. This will perform lookups on the bind addresses if they were given.
Definition at line 744 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
This signal is emitted whenever an asynchronous lookup process is done.

|
Implementation of QIODevice::open() pure virtual function. This depends on the target host address already being there. If this is a passiveSocket, this is identical to call listen(); else, if this is not a passiveSocket and no connection attempt is in progress, this is like connect(). If one is in progress, this function will fail.
Reimplemented from QIODevice. Definition at line 1248 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Peeks at a block of data from the socket. This is exactly like read, except that the data won't be flushed from the read buffer. If this socket is not buffered, this function will always return with 0 bytes copied.
Implements KBufferedIO. Definition at line 1521 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Returns the peer socket address. Use KExtendedSocket::resolve() to resolve this to a human-readable hostname/service or port. Remember to delete the returned object when it is no longer needed.

Writes a single character (unsigned char) to the stream. All other bits will be ignored.
Reimplemented from QIODevice. Definition at line 1594 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Reads a block of data from the socket. If the socket is not buffered, this function will simply call the underlying read method. This function will block if the socket is not on non-blocking mode (see setBlockingMode) and there is not enough data to be read in the Operating System yet. If we are in non-blocking operation, the call will fail in this case. However, if we are buffering, this function will instead read from the buffer while there is available data. This function will never block in buffering mode, which means that if you try to read while the buffers are empty, this function will always return -1 and set the system error to EWOULDBLOCK (aka EAGAIN), so as to mimic non-blocking operation.
Reimplemented from QIODevice. Definition at line 1422 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
This signal is emitted whenever this socket is ready to accept another socket.
|
|
Releases the socket and anything we have holding on it. The class cannot be used anymore. In other words, this is just like closeNow(), but it does not actually close the socket. This is useful if you just want to connect and don't need the rest of the class. Note that the buffers' contents will be discarded. Use of this method is discouraged, because the socket created might be such that normal library routines can't handle (read, write, close, etc.) Definition at line 1322 of file kextsock.cpp. |

Resets the socket, disconnecting if still connected and freeing any related resources still being kept.

Sets/unsets blocking mode for the socket. When non-blocking mode is enabled, I/O operations might return error and set errno to EWOULDBLOCK. Also, it's not recommended to use this when using the class signals.
Definition at line 448 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Sets the buffer sizes for this socket. This implementation allows any size for both parameters. The value given will be interpreted as the maximum size allowed for the buffers, after which the I/O functions will stop buffering. The value of -1 will be interpreted as "unlimited" size. The value of -2 means "no change". Note: changing the buffer size to 0 for any buffer will cause the given buffer's to be discarded. Likewise, setting the size to a value less than the current size will cause the buffer to be shrunk to the wanted value, as if the data had been read.
Reimplemented from KBufferedIO. Definition at line 616 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Sets the error code.
Definition at line 244 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Sets the hostname to the given value. If this is a listening (passive) socket, the hostname is the host to which the socket will bind in order to listen. If you want to listen in every interface, set it to "*" or QString::null. If this is a connecting (active) socket, the hostname is the host to which we will try to connect.
Definition at line 276 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Sets/unsets the v6-only flag for IPv6 sockets. When an IPv6 socket is in use, communication with IPv4 sockets is guaranteed by translating those IPv4 addresses into IPv6 ones (specifically, the v4-mapped addresses). This flag allows that behavior to be turned on and off. Note that this does not have any effect on sockets that are not IPv6 and the function will always return false in those cases. Also note that this flag defaults to off in order to accommodate existing applications.
Definition at line 554 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Sets the port/service. In the case of Unix-domain sockets, the port is the filename for the socket. If the name is not an absolute path, "/tmp/" will be prepended.
Definition at line 302 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Sets the port/service.
Definition at line 297 of file kextsock.cpp. |

Definition at line 259 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Sets the socket status. For derived classes only. Definition at line 239 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Sets the timeout value for the connection (if this is not passiveSocket) or acception (if it is). In the event the given function (connect or accept) returns due to time out, it's possible to call it again. Setting the timeout to 0 disables the timeout feature.
Definition at line 427 of file kextsock.cpp. |

|
Starts an asynchronous connect. This works exactly the same as connect, except that the connection result won't be returned. Note that those signals might be emitted before this function returns, so your code should be prepared for that condition. You must call cancelAsyncConnect() before you delete the socket if you call this. Otherwise you will have crashes.
Definition at line 1193 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Starts an asynchronous lookup for the addresses given. When the lookup is done, the lookupReady signal will be emitted. Note that, depending on the parameters for the lookup, this function might know the results without the need for blocking or queuing an asynchronous lookup. That means that the lookupReady signal might be emitted by this function, so your code should be prepared for that. One such case is when noResolve flag is set. If this function is able to determine the results without queuing and the lookup failed, this function will return -1.
Definition at line 766 of file kextsock.cpp. |

Unreads one character from the stream. This is not possible on sockets.
Reimplemented from QIODevice. Definition at line 823 of file kextsock.h. |
|
Reimplementation of unreadBlock() method. This is so because unreading in sockets doesn't make sense, so this function will always return -1 (error) and set the system error to ENOSYS.
Reimplemented from KBufferedIO. Definition at line 1536 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Unsets the bind address for the socket. That means that we won't attempt to bind to an address before connecting.
Definition at line 419 of file kextsock.cpp. |

Unsets the bind hostname. That is, don't request a binding host.
Definition at line 353 of file kextsock.cpp. |

Waits The return value is the amount of data available for read in the read buffer.
Implements KBufferedIO. Definition at line 1556 of file kextsock.cpp. |
|
Writes a block of data to the socket. If the socket is not buffered, this function will simply call the underlying write method. This means that the function might block if that method blocks as well. That situation is possible if we are not in non-blocking mode and the operating system buffers are full for this socket. If we are in non-blocking mode and the operating system buffers are full, this function will return -1 and the system error will be set to EWOULDBLOCK. If we are buffering, this function will simply transfer the data into the write buffer. This function will then always succeed, as long as there is enough room in the buffer. If the buffer size was limited and that limit is reached, this function will copy no more bytes than that limit. Trying to write with a full buffer will return -1 and set system error to EWOULDBLOCK.
