virtual bool KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::at

(

Offset

)

[inline, virtual]

This call is not supported on sockets.

Reimplemented from QIODevice. This will always return false.

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 521 of file ksocketbase.h.

virtual Offset KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::at

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

This call is not supported on sockets.

Reimplemented from QIODevice. This will always return 0.

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 514 of file ksocketbase.h.

virtual bool KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::atEnd

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

This call is not supported on sockets.

Reimplemented from QIODevice. This will always return true.

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 528 of file ksocketbase.h.

virtual bool KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::bind

(

const KResolverEntry &

address

)

[pure virtual]

Binds this socket to the given address.

The socket will be constructed with the address family, socket type and protocol as those given in the address object.

Parameters:

address

the address to bind to

Returns:

true if the binding was successful, false otherwise

Implemented in KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, KNetwork::KDatagramSocket, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KStreamSocket.

virtual Q_LONG KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::bytesAvailable

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns the number of bytes available for reading without blocking.

Implemented in KNetwork::KBufferedSocket, KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, and KNetwork::KSocketDevice.

virtual bool KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::connect

(

const KResolverEntry &

address

)

[pure virtual]

Connect to a remote host.

This will make this socket try to connect to the remote host. If the socket is not yet created, it will be created using the address family, socket type and protocol specified in the address object.

If this function returns with error InProgress, calling it again with the same address after a time will cause it to test if the connection has succeeded in the mean time.

Parameters:

address

the address to connect to

Returns:

true if the connection was successful or has been successfully queued; false if an error occurred.

Implemented in KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, KNetwork::KDatagramSocket, KNetwork::KHttpProxySocketDevice, KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KStreamSocket.

virtual bool KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::disconnect

(

)

[pure virtual]

Disconnects this socket from a connection, if possible.

If this socket was connected to an endpoint, the connection is severed, but the socket is not closed. If the socket wasn't connected, this function does nothing.

If the socket hadn't yet been created, this function does nothing either.

Not all socket types can disconnect. Most notably, only connectionless datagram protocols such as UDP support this operation.

Returns:

true if the socket is now disconnected or false on error.

Implemented in KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, and KNetwork::KSocketDevice.

int KActiveSocketBase::getch

(

)

[virtual]

Reads one character from the socket.

Reimplementation from QIODevice. See QIODevice::getch for more information.

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 291 of file ksocketbase.cpp.

virtual KSocketAddress KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::localAddress

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns this socket's local address.

Implemented in KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice.

virtual Q_LONG KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::peekBlock	(	char *	data,
		Q_ULONG	maxlen,
		KSocketAddress &	from
	)			[pure virtual]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Peeks the data in the socket and the source address.

This call will allow you to peek the data to be received without actually receiving it -- that is, it will be available for further peekings and for the next read call.

Parameters:

	data	where to write the peeked data to
	maxlen	the maximum number of bytes to peek
	from	the address of the sender will be stored here

Returns:

the actual number of bytes copied into data

Implemented in KNetwork::KBufferedSocket, KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice.

virtual Q_LONG KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::peekBlock	(	char *	data,
		Q_ULONG	maxlen
	)			[pure virtual]

Peeks the data in the socket.

This call will allow you to peek the data to be received without actually receiving it -- that is, it will be available for further peekings and for the next read call.

Parameters:

	data	where to write the peeked data to
	maxlen	the maximum number of bytes to peek

Returns:

the actual number of bytes copied into data

Implemented in KNetwork::KBufferedSocket, KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice.

virtual KSocketAddress KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::peerAddress

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Return this socket's peer address, if we are connected.

If the address cannot be retrieved, the returned object will contain an invalid address.

Implemented in KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, KNetwork::KHttpProxySocketDevice, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice.

int KActiveSocketBase::putch

(

int

ch

)

[virtual]

Writes one character to the socket.

Reimplementation from QIODevice. See QIODevice::putch for more information.

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 300 of file ksocketbase.cpp.

virtual Q_LONG KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::readBlock	(	char *	data,
		Q_ULONG	maxlen,
		KSocketAddress &	from
	)			[pure virtual]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Receives data and the source address.

This call will read data in the socket and will also place the sender's address in from object.

Parameters:

	data	where to write the read data to
	maxlen	the maximum number of bytes to read
	from	the address of the sender will be stored here

Returns:

the actual number of bytes read

Implemented in KNetwork::KBufferedSocket, KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice.

virtual Q_LONG KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::readBlock	(	char *	data,
		Q_ULONG	len
	)			[pure virtual]

Reads data from the socket.

Reimplemented from QIODevice. See QIODevice::readBlock for more information.

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Implemented in KNetwork::KBufferedSocket, KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice.

void KActiveSocketBase::resetError

(

)

[protected]

Resets the socket error code and the I/O Device's status.

Definition at line 315 of file ksocketbase.cpp.

void KActiveSocketBase::setError	(	int	status,
		SocketError	error
	)			[protected]

Sets the socket's error code and the I/O Device's status.

Parameters:

	status	the I/O Device status
	error	the error code

Definition at line 309 of file ksocketbase.cpp.

virtual Offset KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::size

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

This call is not supported on sockets.

Reimplemented from QIODevice. This will always return 0.

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 507 of file ksocketbase.h.

virtual int KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::ungetch

(

int

)

[inline, virtual]

This call is not supported on sockets.

Reimplemented from QIODevice. This will always return -1;

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 635 of file ksocketbase.h.

virtual Q_LONG KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::waitForMore	(	int	msecs,
		bool *	timeout = 0L
	)			[pure virtual]

Waits up to msecs for more data to be available on this socket.

If msecs is -1, this call will block indefinetely until more data is indeed available; if it's 0, this function returns immediately.

If timeout is not NULL, this function will set it to indicate if a timeout occurred.

Returns:

the number of bytes available

Implemented in KNetwork::KBufferedSocket, KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, and KNetwork::KSocketDevice.

virtual Q_LONG KNetwork::KActiveSocketBase::writeBlock	(	const char *	data,
		Q_ULONG	len,
		const KSocketAddress &	to
	)			[pure virtual]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Writes the given data to the destination address.

Note that not all socket connections allow sending data to different addresses than the one the socket is connected to.

Parameters:

	data	the data to write
	len	the length of the data
	to	the address to send to

Returns:

the number of bytes actually sent

Implemented in KNetwork::KBufferedSocket, KNetwork::KClientSocketBase, KNetwork::KDatagramSocket, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice.
