💖 socket.h(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is socket.h, page 3 of the Library Functions Manual, and it's literally the network addresses and sockets related classes situation. it's giving GNU CommonC++ energy and we're gonna get through it together, no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

socket.h — network addresses and sockets related classes. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🌸

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <cc++/address.h>

👑 Classes

  • class ost::Socket — the Socket is used as the base for all Internet protocol services under Common C++. it's the blueprint, the mother of the group chat. 💅
  • class ost::DCCPSocket — DCCP sockets are used for stream based connected sessions between two sockets.
  • class ost::UDPSocket — UDP sockets implement the TCP SOCK_DGRAM UDP protocol. yes it says TCP in there, we don't make the rules, we just report them.
  • class ost::UDPBroadcast — representing a UDP socket used for subnet broadcasts, this class provides an alternate binding and setPeer() capability for UDP sockets. 📡
  • class ost::UDPTransmit — representing half of a two-way UDP connection, the UDP transmitter can broadcast data to another selected peer host or to an entire subnet.
  • class ost::UDPReceive — representing half of a two-way UDP connection, the UDP receiver can receive data from another peer host or subnet.
  • class ost::UDPDuplex — UDP duplex connections impliment a bi-directional point-to-point UDP session between two peer hosts. (yes, "impliment" — that's the original spelling, i'm not touching it, it's iconic now 🎀)
  • class ost::TCPSocket — TCP sockets are used for stream based connected sessions between two sockets.
  • class ost::TCPV6Socket — TCPV6 sockets are used for stream based connected sessions between two ipv6 sockets. ✨
  • class ost::TCPStream — TCP streams are used to represent TCP client connections to a server by TCP protocol servers for accepting client connections.
  • class ost::TCPSession — the TCP session is used to primarily to represent a client connection that can be managed on a separate thread. 🧵
  • class ost::SimpleTCPStream — Simple TCP Stream, to be used with Common C++ Library.

💜 Detailed Description 💜

Network addresses and sockets related classes.

that's the whole thing, bestie. it does exactly what it says on the tin. 🔥

💅 Macro Definition Documentation 💅

here's every single one, spelled out one more time so you can't say i skipped anything:

  • #define _IOLEN64
  • #define _IORET64
  • #define DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS 12
  • #define DCCP_SOCKOPT_CCID 13
  • #define DCCP_SOCKOPT_RX_CCID 15
  • #define DCCP_SOCKOPT_TX_CCID 14
  • #define INVALID_SOCKET -1
  • #define IPPROTO_DCCP 33
  • #define MSG_DONTWAIT 0
  • #define MSG_NOSIGNAL 0
  • #define SOCK_DCCP 6
  • #define SOL_DCCP 269
not me noticing the RX and TX ones swapped order down here compared to the macro list up top. 🙈 i'm keeping both exactly as written because that's literally what the page says, and i am nothing if not loyal to the source. 💖

🌸 Typedef Documentation 🌸

  • typedef int SOCKET — yep. it's an int. that's the whole reveal. slay. 💅

and that's a wrap, bestie!! this page is GNU CommonC++ material, dated Sun Dec 27 2020, and honestly? timeless. go build something with sockets, drink some water, and remember: INVALID_SOCKET is -1 and so is my patience for anyone who doesn't close their file descriptors. periodt. 💖💅🦋
