Sockets module
This module implements interprocess communication using sockets. This is useful for communicating between two processes started with Posix::fork using the socketPair function to create the sockets.
Sockets are represented by the Socket data type, and are generally similar to the Net::NetHandle type in the Net module.
Data types
- Sockets::Socket - A socket
Exceptions
- SocketTimeout - Timeout while waiting for data
Functions
- Void close(Socket s) - Close a socket
- Void netToSocket(NetHandle net,Socket s) - Transfer data from network to socket
- Bool pending(Socket s,Int timeout=1000000) - Check for pending data on a socket
- String recv(Socket s,Int maxlen=-1,Int timeout=1000000) - Receive text data from a socket
- Int recvByte(Socket s,Int timeout=1000000) - Receive a single byte from a socket
- Binary recvBytes(Socket s,Int maxlen=1024,Int timeout=1000000) - Receive binary data from a socket
- Void send(Socket s,String msg) - Send data to a socket
- Void sendByte(Socket s,Int byte) - Send a single byte to a socket
- Void sendBytes(Socket s,Binary bindata) - Send binary data to a socket
- Pair<Socket, Socket> socketPair() - Create a joined pair of sockets
- Void socketToNet(Socket s,NetHandle net) - Transfer data from socket to network
