Detailed Description

The classes related to socket handling.

Typedef Documentation

SocketHandle

using gf::SocketHandle = typedef implementation-defined

A native socket handle.

This type represents the native socket type. It is implementation-defined. Normally, you should not have to manipulate this type.

gf::TcpListener, gf::TcpSocket, gf::UdpSocket

Enumeration Type Documentation

SocketAddressFormat

enum class gf::SocketAddressFormat

strong

A socket address format.

See also

gf::SocketAddress

Enumerator
Unrestricted	Allow name resolution for the address.
Numeric	Use a numeric form for the address.

SocketFamily

enum class gf::SocketFamily : int

strong

A socket family.

A socket family indicates the type of the socket. The family can be specified explicitly or unspecified, in which case the family is set automatically by the system.

See also

gf::SocketAddress

Enumerator
Unspec	Unspecified (either IPv4 or IPv6)
IPv4	IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4)
IPv6	IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6)

SocketSelectorStatus

enum class gf::SocketSelectorStatus

strong

The status of the selector.

Enumerator
Event	An event is pending on the sockets.
Timeout	The call timed out.
Error	An error occurred.

SocketStatus

enum class gf::SocketStatus

strong

The status of a socket operation.

See also

gf::SocketDataResult

Enumerator
Data	Some data has been sent or received.
Block	The socket would have blocked.
Close	The connection is closed.
Error	An error occurred.

Variable Documentation

InvalidSocketHandle

constexpr SocketHandle gf::InvalidSocketHandle = implemetation-defined

constexpr

An invalid socket handle.

This constant is used internally to represent an invalid socket. It is implementation-defined. Normally, you should not have to manipulate this constant.
