Detailed Description

Server socket for listening for incoming connections.

Definition at line 14 of file server_socket.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ server_socket() [1/2]

fiberio::server_socket::server_socket ( )

Creates an unbound listening socket.

◆ server_socket() [2/2]

fiberio::server_socket::server_socket ( server_socket && other )

Creates a listening socket based on another, which is invalid after.

◆ ~server_socket()

fiberio::server_socket::~server_socket ( )

Destructor. Closes the server_socket if it's open.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accept()

socket fiberio::server_socket::accept ( )

Accept an incoming connection and get a socket representing it.

This is typically done repeatedly.

It's often useful to launch a new fiber for each connection with boost::fibers::async() (don't forget to std::move() the socket).

◆ bind()

void fiberio::server_socket::bind	(	const std::string &	host,
		uint16_t	port
	)

Binds the server_socket to an address and port.

This should be called befor listen(). Use get_host() and get_port() to check what it's actually bound to after.

A port of 0 will bind to any available port.

◆ close()

void fiberio::server_socket::close ( )

Close the listening socket and stop listening for connections.

◆ get_host()

std::string fiberio::server_socket::get_host ( )

Return the host that the server_socket is bound to.

◆ get_port()

uint16_t fiberio::server_socket::get_port ( )

Return the port that the server_socket is bound to.

◆ listen()

void fiberio::server_socket::listen ( int backlog )

Start listening for connections with a certain backlog size.

This returns quickly and only tells the OS to start listening.

Use accept() to accept connections after.
