Prerequisites

Known Implementations

GSocketConnectable is implemented by GInetSocketAddress, GNetworkAddress, GNetworkService, GProxyAddress, GSocketAddress and GUnixSocketAddress.

Properties

  "connectable"              GSocketConnectable*   : Read / Write / Construct Only
  "uri"                      gchar*                : Read / Write / Construct Only

Description

Objects that describe one or more potential socket endpoints implement GSocketConnectable. Callers can then use g_socket_connectable_enumerate() to get a GSocketAddressEnumerator to try out each socket address in turn until one succeeds, as shown in the sample code below.

Details

GSocketConnectable

typedef struct _GSocketConnectable GSocketConnectable;

Interface for objects that contain or generate GSocketAddresses.

struct GSocketConnectableIface

struct GSocketConnectableIface {
  GTypeInterface g_iface;

  /* Virtual Table */

  GSocketAddressEnumerator * (* enumerate)       (GSocketConnectable *connectable);

  GSocketAddressEnumerator * (* proxy_enumerate) (GSocketConnectable *connectable);
};

Provides an interface for returning a GSocketAddressEnumerator and GProxyAddressEnumerator

GTypeInterface g_iface;

 The parent interface.

enumerate ()

 Creates a GSocketAddressEnumerator

proxy_enumerate ()

 Creates a GProxyAddressEnumerator

g_socket_connectable_enumerate ()

GSocketAddressEnumerator * g_socket_connectable_enumerate
                                                        (GSocketConnectable *connectable);

Creates a GSocketAddressEnumerator for connectable.

connectable :

 a GSocketConnectable

Returns :

 a new GSocketAddressEnumerator. [transfer full]

Since 2.22

g_socket_connectable_proxy_enumerate ()

GSocketAddressEnumerator * g_socket_connectable_proxy_enumerate
                                                        (GSocketConnectable *connectable);

Creates a GSocketAddressEnumerator for connectable that will return GProxyAddresses for addresses that you must connect to via a proxy.

If connectable does not implement g_socket_connectable_proxy_enumerate(), this will fall back to calling g_socket_connectable_enumerate().

connectable :

 a GSocketConnectable

Returns :

 a new GSocketAddressEnumerator. [transfer full]

Since 2.26

GSocketAddressEnumerator

typedef struct _GSocketAddressEnumerator GSocketAddressEnumerator;

Enumerator type for objects that contain or generate GSocketAddresses.

g_socket_address_enumerator_next ()

GSocketAddress *    g_socket_address_enumerator_next    (GSocketAddressEnumerator *enumerator,
                                                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                         GError **error);

Retrieves the next GSocketAddress from enumerator. Note that this may block for some amount of time. (Eg, a GNetworkAddress may need to do a DNS lookup before it can return an address.) Use g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async() if you need to avoid blocking.

If enumerator is expected to yield addresses, but for some reason is unable to (eg, because of a DNS error), then the first call to g_socket_address_enumerator_next() will return an appropriate error in *error. However, if the first call to g_socket_address_enumerator_next() succeeds, then any further internal errors (other than cancellable being triggered) will be ignored.

enumerator :

 a GSocketAddressEnumerator

cancellable :

 optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore. [allow-none]

error :

 a GError.

Returns :

 a GSocketAddress (owned by the caller), or NULL on error (in which case *error will be set) or if there are no more addresses. [transfer full]

g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async ()

void                g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async
                                                        (GSocketAddressEnumerator *enumerator,
                                                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                         GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously retrieves the next GSocketAddress from enumerator and then calls callback, which must call g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish() to get the result.

enumerator :

 a GSocketAddressEnumerator

cancellable :

 optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore. [allow-none]

callback :

 a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied. [scope async]

user_data :

 the data to pass to callback function. [closure]

g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish ()

GSocketAddress *    g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish
                                                        (GSocketAddressEnumerator *enumerator,
                                                         GAsyncResult *result,
                                                         GError **error);

Retrieves the result of a completed call to g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async(). See g_socket_address_enumerator_next() for more information about error handling.

enumerator :

 a GSocketAddressEnumerator

result :

 a GAsyncResult

error :

 a GError

Returns :

 a GSocketAddress (owned by the caller), or NULL on error (in which case *error will be set) or if there are no more addresses. [transfer full]

GProxyAddressEnumerator

typedef struct _GProxyAddressEnumerator GProxyAddressEnumerator;

A subclass of GSocketAddressEnumerator that takes another address enumerator and wraps its results in GProxyAddresses as directed by the default GProxyResolver.

Property Details

The "connectable" property

  "connectable"              GSocketConnectable*   : Read / Write / Construct Only

The connectable being enumerated.

The "uri" property

  "uri"                      gchar*                : Read / Write / Construct Only

The destination URI, use none:// for generic socket.

Default value: NULL
