<h1>FBB::ServerSocket(3bobcat)</h1>
<h2>libbobcat-dev_3.23.01-x.tar.gz Server Socket</h2>
<h2>2005-2014</h2>


<p>
<h2>NAME</h2>FBB::ServerSocket - Server socket accepting Internet connection requests
<p>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
    <strong>#include &lt;bobcat/serversocket&gt;</strong><br>
    Linking option: <em>-lbobcat</em> 
<p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
    An <strong>FBB::ServerSocket</strong> may be constructed to listen for connection
requests from the Internet or from the local host. Connection requests may be
accepted in either <em>blocking</em> or <em>non-blocking</em> modes. When a connection
is accepted a socket is returned which may be used to read information from or
write information to the client that requested the connection. The socket that
is made available is a <em>file descriptor</em> which may be used to initialize a
<strong>std::istream</strong> and/or <strong>std::ostream</strong>. The <strong>std::istream</strong> is used to read
information from the client process; the <strong>std::ostream</strong> is used to send
information to the client process.  Since a socket may be considered a <em>file
descriptor</em> the avaiable <strong>FBB::IFdStream</strong>, <strong>FBB::IFdStreamBuf</strong>,
<strong>FBB::OFdStream</strong>, and <strong>FBB::OFdStreamBuf</strong> classes may be used profitably
here. Note that having available a socket does not mean that this defines the
communication protocol. It is (still) the responsibility of the programmer to
comply with an existing protocol or to implement a tailor-made protocol. The
latter situation implies that the sequence of input- and output operations is
defined by the programmer.
<p>
<h2>NAMESPACE</h2>
    <strong>FBB</strong><br>
    All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace <strong>FBB</strong>.
<p>
<h2>INHERITS FROM</h2>
    <strong>FBB::SocketBase</strong>
<p>
<h2>CONSTRUCTOR</h2>
    <ul>
    <li> <strong>ServerSocket(size_t  port)</strong>:<br>
        This constructor initializes an <strong>FBB::ServerSocket</strong> object, which
will listen for connections at the specified port.  The construction of the
socket does not mean that the <strong>FBB::ServerSocket</strong> object is actually
listening for connections. To start listening, the member <strong>listen()</strong> should
be used.
    </ul>
    The copy constructor is not available.
<p>
<h2>MEMBER FUNCTIONS</h2>
     All members of <strong>FBB::SocketBase</strong> (and thus of <strong>FBB::InetAddress</strong>) are
available, as <strong>FBB::ServerSocket</strong> inherits from <strong>FBB::SocketBase</strong>.
    <ul>
    <li> <strong>void listen(size_t backlog = 5, bool blocking = true)</strong>:<br>
        The <strong>listen()</strong> member defines the way the <strong>FBB::ServerSocket</strong> will
listen for clients requesting a connection.  It can be used only once with a
<strong>FBB::ServerSocket</strong>. An <strong>FBB::Exception</strong> object is thrown if listening fails,
if the constructor could not create a socket, or if the <strong>SocketBase</strong> base
class could not properly be constructed.
<p>
The <strong>listen()</strong> member's <em>backlog</em> parameter defines the size of the
<strong>FBB::ServerSocket</strong>'s internal queue in which connection requests may be
stored waiting for their turn to be serviced. When <em>backlog</em> requests are
waiting and another request arrives, then that request is lost. 
<p>
The member's second parameter, <em>blocking</em>, is used to control the
blocking mode. By default, blocking is used, and <em>listen()</em> will wait until
a connection is established. This is ok in situations where clients connect
infrquently and for relatively short time intervals. Otherwise, in more
complex programs, an <strong>FBB::Selector</strong> object can be used to sense input on
the server socket and/or on various client sockets.
<p>
<li> <strong>SocketBase accept()</strong>:<br>
        The <strong>accept()</strong> member returns an <strong>FBB::SocketBase</strong> object
containing information about the client whose connection request was
accepted. The <strong>FBB::SocketBase</strong> object's socket value may be used to
initialize streams that can be used to communicate with the client. In more
complex programs the <strong>FBB::SocketBase</strong> could be passed to a class derived
from <strong>FBB::Fork</strong>, handling the communication with the child as a separate
(child) process. 
    </ul>
<p>
