Detailed Description

Abstract base class for passive sockets.

This socket provides the initial functionality for passive sockets, i.e., sockets that accept incoming connections.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool KNetwork::KPassiveSocketBase::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::KServerSocket, KNetwork::KSocketDevice, and KNetwork::KSocksSocketDevice.

virtual bool KNetwork::KPassiveSocketBase::listen int  backlog  )  [pure virtual]
 

Puts this socket into listening mode.

Placing a socket in listening mode means that it will be allowed to receive incoming connections from remote hosts.

Note that some socket types or protocols cannot be put in listening mode.

Parameters:
backlog the number of accepted connections to hold before starting to refuse
Returns:
true if the socket is now in listening mode

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

virtual void KNetwork::KPassiveSocketBase::close  )  [pure virtual]
 

Closes this socket.

All resources used are freed. Note that closing a passive socket does not close the connections accepted with it.

Implemented in KNetwork::KHttpProxySocketDevice, KNetwork::KServerSocket, and KNetwork::KSocketDevice.

virtual KActiveSocketBase* KNetwork::KPassiveSocketBase::accept  )  [pure virtual]
 

Accepts a new incoming connection.

If this socket was in listening mode, you can call this function to accept an incoming connection.

If this function cannot accept a new connection (either because it is not listening for one or because the operation would block), it will return NULL.

Also note that descended classes will override this function to return specialised socket classes.

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

virtual KSocketAddress KNetwork::KPassiveSocketBase::localAddress  )  const [pure virtual]
 

Returns this socket's local address.

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

virtual KSocketAddress KNetwork::KPassiveSocketBase::externalAddress  )  const [pure virtual]
 

Returns this socket's externally-visible address if known.

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