<h1>FBB::ClientSocket(3bobcat)</h1>
<h2>libbobcat-dev_3.19.01-x.tar.gz Client Socket</h2>
<h2>2005-2013</h2>
<p>
<h2>NAME</h2>FBB::ClientSocket - Client Socket connecting to a Server in the Internet
<p>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<strong>#include <bobcat/clientsocket></strong><br>
Linking option: <em>-lbobcat</em>
<p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
An <strong>FBB::ClientSocket</strong> may be constructed to connect to some server
process in the internet. The socket made available by the <strong>FBB:ClientSocket</strong>
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 server process to which
the <strong>FBB::ClientSocket</strong> connects, The <strong>std::ostream</strong> is used to send
information to the server process to which the <strong>FBB::ClientSocket</strong> connects.
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>ClientSocket(std::string const &host, uint16_t port)</strong>:<br>
This constructor initializes an <strong>FBB::ClientSocket</strong> object,
preparing it for a connection to the specified port at the given host. An
<strong>FBB::Exception</strong> is thrown if the socket could not be constructed. The
construction of the socket does not mean that a connection has actually been
established. In order to connect to the server, the member <strong>connect()</strong> (see
below) 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::ClientSocket</strong> inherits from these classes.
<ul>
<li> <strong>int connect()</strong>:<br>
This member returns a socket that can be used to communicate with the
server process. An <strong>FBB::Exception</strong> exception is thrown if the connection could
not be established or if the <strong>SocketBase</strong> base class could not properly be
constructed.
</ul>
<p>
<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>
See also the <strong>serversocket</strong>(3bobcat) example.
<pre>
#include <iostream>
#include <bobcat/clientsocket>
#include <bobcat/ifdstream>
#include <bobcat/ofdstream>
#include <bobcat/a2x>

size_t port = A2x(argv[2]);
ClientSocket client(argv[1], port);
int fd = client.connect();

IFdStream in(fd); // stream to read from
OFdStream out(fd); // stream to write to
while (true)
{
// Ask for a textline, stop if
cout << "? "; // empty / none
if (!getline(cin, line) || line.length() == 0)
return 0;
cout << "Line read: " << line << endl;
// Return the line to the server
out << line.c_str() << endl;
cout << "wrote line\n";
getline(in, line); // Wait for a reply from the server
cout << "Answer: " << line << endl;
}
return 0;
}

{
cerr << err.what() << "\n" <<
"Can't connect to " << argv[1] << ", port " <<
argv[2] << endl;
return 1;
