SPVM::IO::Socket::IP - IPv4/IPv6 Sockets

Usage

use IO::Socket::IP;
use Sys::Socket::Constant as SOCKET;

# Client Socket
my $host = "www.perl.org";
my $port = 80;
my $socket = IO::Socket::IP->new({
  PeerAddr => $host,
  PeerPort => $port
});

my $socket = IO::Socket::IP->new({
  LocalAddr => 'localhost',
  LocalPort => 9000,
  Listen    => 5,
});

IO::Socket::INET class in SPVM represents an IPv4 or IPv6 socket.

Super Class

IO::Socket

Fields

LocalAddr

has LocalAddr : protected string;

A local address.

LocalPort

has LocalPort : protected int;

A local port.

PeerAddr

has PeerAddr : protected string;

A peer address.

PeerPort

has PeerPort : protected int;

A peer port.

ReuseAddr

has ReuseAddr : protected byte;

The value of SO_REUSEADDR socket option.

This field expects a boolean value.

ReusePort

has ReusePort : protected byte;

The value of SO_REUSEPORT socket option.

This field expects a boolean value.

Broadcast

has Broadcast : protected byte;

The value of SO_BROADCAST socket option.

This field expects a boolean value.

V6Only

has V6Only : byte;

The value of IPV6_V6ONLY socket option.

This field expects a boolean value.

V6OnlySpecified

has V6OnlySpecified : byte;

If this field is a true value, V6Only option is specified on "init" method.

Class Methods

new

static method new : IO::Socket::IP ($options : object[] = undef);

Creates a new IO::Socket::IP object given the options $options, and returns it.

This object represents a IPv4 or IPv6 domain socket.

If "ReuseAddr" field is a true value, SO_REUSEADD option of this socket is set to 1.

If "ReusePort" field is a true value, SO_REUSEPORT option of this socket is set to 1.

If "Broadcast" field is a true value, SO_BROADCAST option of this socket is set to 1.

If the value of "V6OnlySpecified" field is a true value, IPV6_V6ONLY option of this socket is set to the following value.

If the value of "V6Only" field is a true value, it is set to 1, otherwise 0.

If "PeerAddr" field is specified, this object becomes a client socket. It calls connect method.

If Listen field is a positive value, this object becomes a server socket. It calls bind method and listen method.

See "init" method about the options $options.

Instance Methods

init

protected method init : void ($options : object[] = undef);

Initializes fields of this instance given the option $options.

Options:

The following options are available adding the options for IO::Socket#init method are available.

[Name][Type][Default Value]

  • ReuseAddr : string = undef

    "ReuseAddr" field is set to this value.

  • ReusePort : Int = 0

    "ReusePort" field is set to this value.

  • Broadcast : Int = 0

    "Broadcast" field is set to this value.

  • PeerAddr : string = undef

    "PeerAddr" field is set to this value.

  • PeerPort : Int = 0

    "PeerPort" field is set to this value.

  • LocalAddr : string = undef

    "LocalAddr" field is set to this value.

  • LocalPort : Int = 0

    "LocalPort" field is set to this value.

  • V6Only : Int = undef

    If this option is specified, "V6OnlySpecified" is set to 1 and "V6Only" field is set to this value.

Domain field is set to AF_INET if Domain option is not specified.

Proto field is set to IPPROTO_TCP if Proto option is not specified.

Type field is set to the following value according to the value of Proto field.

If the value of Proto is IPPROTO_TCP, the Type field is set to SOCK_STREAM.

If the value of Proto is IPPROTO_UDP, the Type field is set to SOCK_DGRAM.

sockaddr

method sockaddr : Sys::Socket::In_addr_base ();

Returns the local address.

If Domain field is AF_INET, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv4#sockaddr method.

If Domain field is AF_INET6, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv6#sockaddr method.

sockhost

method sockhost : string ();

Returns the local host name.

If Domain field is AF_INET, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv4#sockhost method.

If Domain field is AF_INET6, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv6#sockhost method.

sockport

method sockport : int ();

Returns the local port.

Implementation:

If Domain field is AF_INET, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv4#sockport method.

If Domain field is AF_INET6, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv6#sockport method.

peeraddr

method peeraddr : Sys::Socket::In_addr_base ();

Return the peer address.

Implementation:

If Domain field is AF_INET, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv4#peeraddr method.

If Domain field is AF_INET6, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv6#peeraddr method.

peerhost

method peerhost : string ();

Returns the peer host name.

Implementation:

If Domain field is AF_INET, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv4#peerhost method.

If Domain field is AF_INET6, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv6#peerhost method.

peerport

method peerport : int ();

Returns the peer port.

Implementation:

If Domain field is AF_INET, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv4#peerport method.

If Domain field is AF_INET6, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv6#peerport method.

accept

method accept : IO::Socket::IP ($peer_ref : Sys::Socket::Sockaddr[] = undef);

This method is the same as accept method, but its return type is different.

create_sockaddr

protected method create_sockaddr : Sys::Socket::Sockaddr ($address : string, $port : int);

Creates a Sys::Socket::Sockaddr object given the address $address and the port $port.

$address is allowed to be a domain name, a host name, an IP address. The name resolution is performed in a non-blocking way.

Implementation:

If Domain field is AF_INET, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv4#create_sockaddr method.

If Domain field is AF_INET6, this method calls IO::Socket::IP::Import::IPv6#create_sockaddr method.
