UDP/IP socket class.

Used for connectionless UDP/IP communication. Note that this is one-way, and there must be a second UDP/IP socket created for communication in the opposite direction.

Member Function Documentation

int Bind	(	const char *	_address,
		unsigned short	_port
	)

Binds an outbound UDP/IP socket to the specified address and port.

Parameters:

	_address	The remote address to bind to. Can be a hostname, as it will be resolved by gethostbyname().
	_port	The remote port to bind to.

Returns:

Due to the use of Berkley sockets, this returns zero on success, and a nonzero value on failure.

int Listen

(

unsigned short

_port

)

[virtual]

Binds an inbound UDP/IP socket on the specified port.

Parameters:

_port

The port to bind.

Returns:

Due to the use of Berkley sockets, this returns zero on success, and a nonzero value on failure.

Implements CoreSocket.

int SetAttributes

(

socket_t

_socket

)

[private, virtual]

Sets some important attributes on the socket.

Will set SO_LINGER and TCP_NODELAY on TCP sockets.

Parameters:

_socket

The socket to modify.

Returns:

CC_ERR_NONE if no error is encountered, otherwise returns 'errno'.

Implements CoreSocket.
