Structure Socket defines functions for creating and using sockets,
a means for communication between SML processes on the same machine
or via a network.
[('addressfam, 'socktype) sock] is the type of sockets with address
family 'addressfam and having type 'socktype.
['addressfam sock_addr] is the type of sockets addresses.
The possible address (protocol) families are
type pf_file The Unix address family (file)
type pf_inet The Internet address family
The possible socket types are
type dgram datagram sockets
type 'a stream stream sockets
type passive passive stream sockets
type active active, or connected, stream sockets
[fileAddr fname] returns a socket address for the Unix protocol
family, created from the given file name fname.
[inetAddr inetaddr portno] returns a socket address for the
Internet protocol family, created from the given Internet number
(e.g. "130.225.40.253") and port number (e.g. 8080).
[fileStream ()] returns a new stream socket for the Unix protocol
family.
[fileDgram ()] returns a new datagram socket for the Unix protocol
family.
[inetStream ()] returns a new stream socket for the Internet
protocol family.
[inetDgram ()] returns a new datagram socket for the Internet
protocol family.
[accept sock] extracts the first connection on the queue of pending
connections to sock. Returns (sock', addr) where sock' is a copy
of the socket sock, bound to that connection, and addr is the
address of the communications counterpart (the other end of the
connection). Blocks if no connections are pending. The stream
socket sock must have been assigned a name (with bind) and must be
listening for connections (following a call to listen).
[bind sock addr] binds the socket sock to the address addr, that
is, assigns the name addr to the socket. Binding a name in the
Unix protocol family creates a socket in the file system that must
be deleted when it is no longer needed
[connect (sock, addr)] attempts to connect socket sock to the
communications peer at address addr. If sock is a datagram socket,
then addr is the address to which datagrams is to be sent, and the
only address from which datagrams will be accepted. If sock is a
stream socket, then addr specifies another socket to which to
connect.
[listen (sock, queuelen)] enables the passive stream socket sock to
accept incoming connections. The parameter queuelen specifies the
maximal number of pending connections. Further connections from
clients may be refused when this limit is reached.
[close sock] closes the socket.
[shutdown sock shutdown_mode] shuts down socket sock for further
communication, as specified by the shutdown_mode parameter:
[NO_RECVS] no further receives are allowed;
[NO_SENDS] no further sends are allowed;
[NO_RECVS_OR_SENDS] no further receives or sends are allowed.
[getinetaddr addr] returns the Internet number
(e.g. "130.225.40.253") of the Internet socket address addr.
['a buf] is the type of records { buf, ofs, size } which represent
subvectors or subarrays:
if size = SOME s it represents buf[ofs..ofs+s-1];
if size = NONE it represents buf[ofs..len-1] where len is buf's length.
When the subbuffer is used in a call, exception Subscript will be raised
if ofs < 0 or size < 0 or ofs+size > len.
[sendVec (sock, vecbuf)] transmits the bytes from buffer vecbuf on
the active stream socket sock. Returns the number of bytes sent.
Blocks until sufficient space is available at the socket.
[sendArr (sock, arrbuf)] is analogous til sendVec.
[sendVec' (sock, vecbuf, out_flags)] transmits the bytes from
buffer vecbuf on the active stream socket sock, observing the
out_flags. Returns the number of bytes sent. Blocks until
sufficient space is available at the socket.
[out_flags] is the type of records { don't_route, oob } in which
the field don't_route specifies whether routing should be bypassed,
and the field oob specifies whether data should be sent out-of-band.
[sendArr' (sock, arrbuf, out_flags)] is analogous til sendVec'.
[sendVecTo (sock, addr, vecbuf)] transmits the bytes from buffer
vecbuf on the datagram socket sock to the target address addr.
Returns the number of bytes sent. Blocks until sufficient space is
available at the socket.
[sendArrTo (sock, addr, arrbuf)] is analogous til sendVecTo.
[sendVecTo' (sock, addr, vecbuf, out_flags)] transmits the bytes
from buffer vecbuf on the datagram socket sock to the target
address addr, observing the out_flags. Returns the number of bytes
sent. Blocks until sufficient space is available at the socket.
See above for a description of vecbuf and out_flags.
[sendArrTo' (sock, addr, arrbuf, out_flags)] is analogous til sendVecTo'.
[recvVec (sock, n)] receives up to n bytes from the active stream
socket sock. Returns a byte vector containing the bytes actually
received. Blocks until some data become available at the socket,
then returns any available data, up to n bytes. Excess data are
not lost; they are available for subsequent receive calls.
[recvArr (sock, arrbuf)] receives bytes from the active stream
socket sock into the subarray arrbuf, up to the available space.
If #size(arrbuf) = SOME(s) the available space is s bytes; if
#size(arrbuf) = NONE the available space is len - #ofs(arrbuf)
bytes. Returns the number of bytes actually received. Blocks
until some data become available at the socket. Excess data are
not lost; they are available for subsequent receive calls.
[recvVec' (sock, n, in_flags)] receives up to n bytes from the
active stream socket sock, observing the in_flags. Returns a byte
vector containing the bytes actually received. Blocks until some
data become available at the socket, then returns any available
data, up to n bytes. Data in excess of n bytes are not lost; they
are available for subsequent receive calls.
[in_flags] is the type of records { peek, oob } in which the field
peek specifies that the data read should not be removed from the
receive queue, and the field oob specifies that data may be
received out-of-band.
[recvArr' (sock, arrbuf, in_flags)] receives bytes from the active
stream socket sock into the subarray arrbuf, observing the
in_flags, up to the available space.. Returns the number of bytes
actually received. Blocks until some data become available at the
socket. Excess data are not lost; they are available for
subsequent receive calls.
[recvVecFrom (sock, n)] receives up to n bytes from the datagram
socket sock. Returns a byte vector containing the bytes actually
received. Blocks until some data become available at the socket,
then returns any available data, up to n bytes.
[recvArrFrom (sock, arrbuf)] receives bytes from the datagram
socket sock into the subarray arrbuf. Returns the number of bytes
actually received. Blocks until some data become available at the
socket.
[recvVecFrom' (sock, n, in_flags)] receives up to n bytes from the
datagram socket sock, observing the in_flags (see above). Returns
(vec, addr) where vec is a byte vector containing the bytes
actually received, and addr is the source address of the message.
Blocks until some data become available at the socket, then returns
any available data, up to n bytes.
[recvArrFrom' (sock, arrbuf, in_flags)] receives bytes from the
datagram socket sock into the array buffer arrbuf, observing the
in_flags (see above). Returns (n, addr) where n is the number of
bytes actually received, and addr is the source address of the
message. Blocks until some data become available at the socket.
[sockDesc sock] returns a descriptor for the socket sock, to be
used in a call to select.
[compare (sd1, sd2)] compares sd1 and sd2 according to an
unspecified total ordering, and returns LESS if sd1 precedes sd2,
returns GREATER is sd1 precedes sd2, and returns EQUAL otherwise.
[sameDesc (sd1, sd2)] returns true if sd1 and sd2 describe the same
socket. Equivalent to compare(sd1, sd2) = EQUAL.
[select { rds, wrs, exs, timeout }] blocks the calling process
until some input/output operations become possible on some sockets.
The call will check the sockets described in rds for reading, those
in wrs for writing, and those in exs for exceptional conditions.
Returns { rds, wrs, exs } where rds now is a list of descriptors of
sockets ready for reading, wrs are ready for writing, and exs have
exceptional conditions. The order of the socket descriptors in the
results is the same as their order in the corresponding arguments.
If timeout is NONE then the call blocks until some input/output
operations become possible; if timeout is SOME(t) then the call
blocks for at most time t.
A server socket is considered ready for reading if there is a
pending connection which can be accepted with `accept'. A client
socket is ready for writing when its connection is fully
established.
