class otnetObject

Abstract interface of a network class

Public Methods

static void init()

Static initialisation routine

virtual int objFromSocket( int file_descriptor)

Pure virtual function that is defined by the derived concrete class

virtual int objToSocket( int file_descriptor )

Pure virtual function that is defined by the derived concrete class

otnetObject()

empty constructor

static int readSocket( int fd, const void *pData, int nBytes, BOOL bNoSwap = false )

Reads nbytes of data from a socket given by the file descriptor fd

static int writeSocket( int fd, const void *pData, int nBytes, BOOL bNoSwap = false )

Writes nbytes of data into a socket given by the file descriptor fd

Protected Fields

static BOOL bSwapBytes

True of have to swap the bytes from the host byte order to the network byte order

int otnetTrfHeader

A transfer header that can be used to determine byte swapping properties

otnetObject()

empty constructor

static void init()

Static initialisation routine. Has to be called once by every application in order to find out the network byte ordering of the host.

static int writeSocket( int fd, const void *pData, int nBytes, BOOL bNoSwap = false )

Writes nbytes of data into a socket given by the file descriptor fd. If bNoSwap is false, we do swap the bytes into the network byte ordering. If bNoSwap is true, we never swap the bytes.

static int readSocket( int fd, const void *pData, int nBytes, BOOL bNoSwap = false )

Reads nbytes of data from a socket given by the file descriptor fd. If bNoSwap is false, we do swap the bytes into the network byte ordering. If bNoSwap is true, we never swap the bytes.

virtual int objToSocket( int file_descriptor )

Pure virtual function that is defined by the derived concrete class. Has all the necessary code to read on object from a socket given by the file descriptor file_descriptor.

virtual int objFromSocket( int file_descriptor)

Pure virtual function that is defined by the derived concrete class. Has all the necessary code to write an object into a socket given by the file descriptor file_descriptor.

static BOOL bSwapBytes

True of have to swap the bytes from the host byte order to the network byte order

int otnetTrfHeader

A transfer header that can be used to determine byte swapping properties
