Accept accepts a connection from a socket S, which was listening for a connection. If a connection is accepted, a file descriptor is returned (positive number). On error -1 is returned. The returned socket may NOT be used to accept more connections. The original socket remains open.

The Accept call fills the address of the connecting entity in Addrx, and sets its length in Addrlen. Addrx should be pointing to enough space, and Addrlen should be set to the amount of space available, prior to the call.

Accept accepts a connection from a socket Sock, which was listening for a connection. If a connection is accepted, a file descriptor is returned. On error -1 is returned. The returned socket may NOT be used to accept more connections. The original socket remains open.

The Accept call fills the address of the connecting entity in Addr, and sets its length in Addrlen. Addr should be pointing to enough space, and Addrlen should be set to the amount of space available, prior to the call.

The alternate forms of the command, with the Text or File parameters are equivalent to subsequently calling the regular function and the or functions. These functions return True if successful, False otherwise.

fpBind binds the socket s to address Addrx. Addrx has length Addrlen. The function returns 0 if the call was succesful, -1 if not.

Bind is an alias for which binds to either a socket struct (Addr) or a string indicating a unix socket file (unix socket).

This function is deprecated, use fpBind instead.

fpConnect uses the socket s to open a connection to a peer, whose address is described by Name. NameLen contains the length of the address. The type of Name depends on the kind of connection you are trying to make, but is generally one of TSockAddr or TUnixSockAddr.

The fpConnect function returns zero if the call was successfull, -1 in case of error.

Connect opens a connection to a peer, whose address is described by Addr. AddrLen contains the length of the address. The type of Addr depends on the kind of connection you're trying to make, but is generally one of TSockAddr or TUnixSockAddr.

The forms of the command with the Text or File arguments are equivalent to subsequently calling the regular Connect function and the or functions. These functions return True if successfull, False otherwise.

The Connect function returns a file descriptor if the call was successfull, -1 in case of error.

fpGetPeerName returns the name of the entity connected to the specified socket S. The Socket must be connected for this call to work.

Name should point to enough space to store the name, the amount of space pointed to should be set in Namelen. When the function returns succesfully, Name will be filled with the name, and Name will be set to the length of Name.

fpGetSockOpt gets the connection option optname, for socket S. The socket may be obtained from different levels, indicated by Level, which can be one of the following:

SOL_SOCKET

From the socket itself.

XXX

set Level to XXX, the protocol number of the protocol which should interpret the option.

The options are stored in the memory location pointed to by optval. optlen should point to the initial length of optval, and on return will contain the actual length of the stored data.

On success, 0 is returned. On Error, -1 is returned.

fpListen listens for up to backlog connections from socket S. The socket S must be of type SOCK_STREAM or Sock_SEQPACKET.

The function returns 0 if a connection was accepted, -1 if an error occurred.

fpRecv reads at most len bytes from socket S into address buf. The socket must be in a connected state. Flags can be one of the following:

1

Process out-of band data.

4

Bypass routing, use a direct interface.

??

Wait for full request or report an error.

The functions returns the number of bytes actually read from the socket, or -1 if a detectable error occurred.

fpSend sends Len bytes starting from address Msg to socket S. S must be in a connected state. Options can be passed in Flags.

The function returns the number of bytes sent, or -1 if a detectable error occurred.

Flags can be one of the following:

1

Process out-of band data.

4

Bypass routing, use a direct interface.

fpSetSockOpt sets the connection options for socket S. The socket may be manipulated at different levels, indicated by Level, which can be one of the following:

SOL_SOCKET

To manipulate the socket itself.

XXX

set Level to XXX, the protocol number of the protocol which should interprete the option.

The actual option is stored in a buffer pointed to by optval, with length optlen.

For more information on this call, refer to the unix manual page setsockopt

fpShutDown closes one end of a full duplex socket connection, described by S. The parameter How determines how the connection will be shut down, and can be one of the following:

0

Further receives are disallowed.

1

Further sends are disallowed.

2

Sending nor receiving are allowed.

On succes, the function returns 0, on error -1 is returned.

fpSocket creates a new socket in domain Domain, from type xType using protocol Protocol. The Domain, Socket type and Protocol can be specified using predefined constants (see the section on constants for available constants) If succesfull, the function returns a socket descriptor, which can be passed to a subsequent call. If unsuccesfull, the function returns -1.

HostAddrToStr converts the host address in Entry to a string representation in human-readable form (a dotted quad).

Basically, it is the same as , but with the bytes in correct order.

HostAddrToStr6 converts the IPV6 host address in Entry to a string representation in human-readable form.

Basically, it is the same as , but with the bytes in correct order.

NetAddrToStr6 converts the IPV6 network address in Entry to a string representation in human-readable form.

Basically, it is the same as , but with the bytes in correct order.
