Description

This simple class allows applications to map ports on UPnP routers. It implements the basic functionalities to map ports to external ports. It also allows implementations to know the external port from the router's perspective.

GUPNP_SIMPLE_IGD_ERROR

#define GUPNP_SIMPLE_IGD_ERROR (gupnp_simple_igd_get_error_domain ())

enum GUPnPSimpleIgdError

typedef enum {
  GUPNP_SIMPLE_IGD_ERROR_EXTERNAL_ADDRESS,
} GUPnPSimpleIgdError;

Errors coming out of the GUPnPSimpleIGD object.

GUPNP_SIMPLE_IGD_ERROR_EXTERNAL_ADDRESS

 Error getting the external address of the router

gupnp_simple_igd_new ()

GUPnPSimpleIgd *    gupnp_simple_igd_new                (GMainContext *main_context);

This creates a new GUPnpSimpleIgd object using the special GMainContext

main_context :

 the GMainContext to use (may be NULL for the default main context)

Returns :

 a new GUPnPSimpleIgd

gupnp_simple_igd_add_port ()

void                gupnp_simple_igd_add_port           (GUPnPSimpleIgd *self,
                                                         const gchar *protocol,
                                                         guint16 external_port,
                                                         const gchar *local_ip,
                                                         guint16 local_port,
                                                         guint32 lease_duration,
                                                         const gchar *description);

This adds a port to the router's forwarding table. The mapping will be automatically refreshed by this object until it is either removed with gupnp_simple_igd_remove_port() or the object disapears.

If there is a problem, the "error-mapping-port" signal will be emitted. If a router is found and a port is mapped correctly, "mapped-external-port" will be emitted. These signals may be emitted multiple times if there are multiple routers present.

self :

 The GUPnPSimpleIgd object

protocol :

 the protocol "UDP" or "TCP"

external_port :

 The port to try to open on the external device, 0 means to try a random port if the same port as the local port is already taken

local_ip :

 The IP address to forward packets to (most likely the local ip address)

local_port :

 The local port to forward packets to

lease_duration :

 The duration of the lease (it will be auto-renewed before it expires). This is in seconds.

description :

 The description that will appear in the router's table

gupnp_simple_igd_remove_port ()

void                gupnp_simple_igd_remove_port        (GUPnPSimpleIgd *self,
                                                         const gchar *protocol,
                                                         guint external_port);

This tries to remove a port entry from the routers that was previously added with gupnp_simple_igd_add_port(). There is no indicated of success or failure it is a best effort mechanism. If it fails, the bindings will disapears after the lease duration set when the port where added.

self :

 The GUPnPSimpleIgd object

protocol :

 the protocol "UDP" or "TCP" as given to gupnp_simple_igd_add_port()

Property Details

The "main-context" property

  "main-context"             gpointer              : Read / Write / Construct Only
