Detailed Description
A server socket for accepting connections.This class provides functionality for creating a socket to listen for incoming connections and subsequently accept them.
To use this class, you must first set the parameters for the listening socket's address, then place it in listening mode.
A typical example would look like:
QString service = "http"; KServerSocket *ss = new KServerSocket(service); connect(ss, SIGNAL(readyAccept()), this, SLOT(slotReadyAccept())); connect(ss, SIGNAL(gotError(int)), this, SLOT(slotSocketError(int))); ss->listen();
In this case, this class will place the socket into listening mode on the service pointed to by service
and will emit the readyAccept signal when a connection is ready for accepting. The called slot is responsible for calling accept.
The location of the services file (where service
is looked up) is defined by _PATH_SERVICES in /usr/include/netdb.h. This is usually set to /etc/services. See RFC 1700 for more information on services. You can specify service
as a port number directly, rather than as a service name. This is discouraged as it prevents the end user from easily modifying the port number.
For another example of usage, this below code attempts to make a connection on any port within a range:
KServerSocket *ss = new KServerSocket(); ss->setFamily(KResolver::InetFamily); bool found = false; for( unsigned int port = firstport; port <= lastport; ++port) { ss->setAddress( QString::number( port ) ); bool success = ss->listen(); if( found = ( success && ss->error() == KSocketBase::NoError ) ) break; ss->close(); } if( !found ) { //Couldn't connect to any port. } else { connect(ss, SIGNAL(readyAccept()), this, SLOT(slotReadyAccept())); connect(ss, SIGNAL(gotError(int)), this, SLOT(slotSocketError(int))); ss->listen(); }

Sets the socket options. Reimplemented from KSocketBase. Reimplemented from KNetwork::KSocketBase.

|
Returns the internal KResolver object used for looking up the host name and service. This can be used to set extra options to the lookup process other than the default values, as well as obtaining the error codes in case of lookup failure. Definition at line 100 of file kserversocket.cpp. |
|
Returns the internal list of resolved results for the binding address.
Definition at line 105 of file kserversocket.cpp. |
|
Enables or disables name resolution. If this flag is set to true, the bind operation will trigger name lookup operations (i.e., converting a hostname into its binary form). If the flag is set to false, those operations will instead try to convert a string representation of an address without attempting name resolution. This is useful, for instance, when IP addresses are in their string representation (such as "1.2.3.4") or come from other sources like KSocketAddress.

Starts the lookup for peer and local hostnames as well as their services. If the blocking mode for this object is on, this function will wait for the lookup results to be available (by calling the KResolver::wait method on the resolver objects). When the lookup is done, the signal hostFound will be emitted (only once, even if we're doing a double lookup). If the lookup failed (for any of the two lookups) the gotError signal will be emitted with the appropriate error condition (see KSocketBase::SocketError). This function returns true on success and false on error. Note that this is not the lookup result!

Binds this socket to the given nodename and service, or use the default ones if none are given. Upon successful binding, the bound signal will be emitted. If an error is found, the gotError signal will be emitted. This function returns true on success.

Binds the socket to the addresses previously set with setAddress. This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

|
Connect this socket to this specific address. Reimplemented from KSocketBase. Unlike bind(const QString&, const QString&) above, this function really does bind the socket. No lookup is performed. The bound signal will be emitted. Implements KNetwork::KPassiveSocketBase. Definition at line 182 of file kserversocket.cpp. References bind(), bound(), copyError(), KNetwork::KSocketBase::setError(), and KNetwork::KSocketBase::socketDevice(). |
|
Puts this socket into listening mode. Reimplemented from KPassiveSocketBase. Placing a socket into listening mode means it will be able to receive incoming connections through the accept method. If you do not call this method but call accept directly, the socket will be placed into listening mode automatically.

Closes this socket.

|
Toggles whether the accepted socket will be buffered or not. That is, the accept function will always return a KStreamSocket object or descended from it. If buffering is enabled, the class to be returned will be KBufferedSocket. By default, this flag is set to true.
Definition at line 278 of file kserversocket.cpp. |

Accepts one incoming connection and return the associated, open socket. If this function cannot accept a new connection, it will return NULL. The specific object class returned by this function may vary according to the implementation: derived classes may return specialised objects descended from KStreamSocket.
