Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkSocket::GetClassName (  )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkClientSocket, and vtkServerSocket.

static int vtkSocket::IsTypeOf ( const char *  name  )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkClientSocket, and vtkServerSocket.

virtual int vtkSocket::IsA ( const char *  name  )  [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkClientSocket, and vtkServerSocket.

static vtkSocket* vtkSocket::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject o  )  [static]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkClientSocket, and vtkServerSocket.

void vtkSocket::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent 
) [virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkClientSocket, and vtkServerSocket.

int vtkSocket::GetConnected (  )  [inline]

Check is the socket is alive.

Definition at line 36 of file vtkSocket.h.

void vtkSocket::CloseSocket (  )  [inline]

Close the socket.

Definition at line 39 of file vtkSocket.h.

int vtkSocket::Send ( const void *  data,
int  length 
)

These methods send data over the socket. Returns 1 on success, 0 on error and raises vtkCommand::ErrorEvent.

int vtkSocket::Receive ( void *  data,
int  length,
int  readFully = 1 
)

Receive data from the socket. This call blocks until some data is read from the socket. When readFully is set, this call will block until all the requested data is read from the socket. 0 on error, else number of bytes read is returned. On error, vtkCommand::ErrorEvent is raised.

virtual int vtkSocket::GetSocketDescriptor (  )  [protected, virtual]

int vtkSocket::CreateSocket (  )  [protected]

Creates an endpoint for communication and returns the descriptor. -1 indicates error.

void vtkSocket::CloseSocket ( int  socketdescriptor  )  [protected]

Close the socket.

int vtkSocket::BindSocket ( int  socketdescriptor,
int  port 
) [protected]

Binds socket to a particular port. Returns 0 on success other -1 is returned.

int vtkSocket::SelectSocket ( int  socketdescriptor,
unsigned long  msec 
) [protected]

Selects a socket ie. waits for it to change status. Returns 1 on success; 0 on timeout; -1 on error. msec=0 implies no timeout.

int vtkSocket::Accept ( int  socketdescriptor  )  [protected]

Accept a connection on a socket. Returns -1 on error. Otherwise the descriptor of the accepted socket.

int vtkSocket::Listen ( int  socketdescriptor  )  [protected]

Listen for connections on a socket. Returns 0 on success. -1 on error.

int vtkSocket::Connect ( int  socketdescriptor,
const char *  hostname,
int  port 
) [protected]

Connect to a server socket. Returns 0 on success, -1 on error.

int vtkSocket::GetPort ( int  socketdescriptor  )  [protected]

Returns the port to which the socket is connected. 0 on error.

static int vtkSocket::SelectSockets ( const int *  sockets_to_select,
int  size,
unsigned long  msec,
int *  selected_index 
) [static, protected]

Selects set of sockets. Returns 0 on timeout, -1 on error. 1 on success. Selected socket's index is returned thru selected_index
