Detailed Description

Communicating between two ports via TCP.

Definition at line 22 of file TcpCarrier.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TcpCarrier()

yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::TcpCarrier ( bool  requireAckFlag = true)

Definition at line 20 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ checkHeader()

bool yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::checkHeader ( const yarp::os::Bytes header)
overridevirtual

Given the first 8 bytes received on a connection, decide if this is the right carrier type to use for the rest of the connection.

For example the "text" carrier looks for the 8-byte sequence "CONNECT ". See the YARP protocol documentation for all the sequences in use here. In general you are free to add your own.

Parameters
headera buffer holding the first 8 bytes received on the connection
Returns
true if this is the carrier to use.

Implements yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Reimplemented in yarp::os::impl::TextCarrier.

Definition at line 40 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

◆ create()

yarp::os::Carrier * yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::create ( ) const
overridevirtual

Factory method.

Get a new object of the same type as this one.

Returns
a new object of the same type as this one.

Implements yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Reimplemented in yarp::os::impl::TextCarrier.

Definition at line 25 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

◆ expectReplyToHeader()

bool yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::expectReplyToHeader ( yarp::os::ConnectionState proto)
overridevirtual

Process reply to header, if one is expected for this carrier.

Parameters
protothe protocol object, which tracks connection state
Returns
true on success, false on failure

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Reimplemented in yarp::os::impl::TextCarrier.

Definition at line 81 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

◆ getHeader()

void yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::getHeader ( yarp::os::Bytes header) const
overridevirtual

Provide 8 bytes describing this connection sufficiently to allow the other side of a connection to select it.

Parameters
headera buffer to hold the first 8 bytes to send on a connection

Implements yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Reimplemented in yarp::os::impl::TextCarrier.

Definition at line 51 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

◆ getName()

std::string yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::getName ( ) const
overridevirtual

Get the name of this connection type ("tcp", "mcast", "shmem", ...)

Returns
the name of this connection type

Implements yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Reimplemented in yarp::os::impl::TextCarrier.

Definition at line 30 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

◆ getSpecifierCode()

int yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::getSpecifierCode ( ) const
virtual

Definition at line 35 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

◆ isConnectionless()

bool yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::isConnectionless ( ) const
overridevirtual

Check if this carrier is connectionless (like udp, mcast) or connection based (like tcp).

This flag is used by YARP to determine whether the connection can carry RPC traffic, that is, messages with replies. Replies are not supported by YARP on connectionless carriers.

Returns
true if carrier is connectionless

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Definition at line 69 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

◆ requireAck()

bool yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::requireAck ( ) const
overridevirtual

Check if carrier has flow control, requiring sent messages to be acknowledged by recipient.

Returns
true if carrier requires acknowledgement.

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Reimplemented in yarp::os::impl::TextCarrier.

Definition at line 64 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

◆ respondToHeader()

bool yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::respondToHeader ( yarp::os::ConnectionState proto)
overridevirtual

Respond to the header.

Parameters
protothe protocol object, which tracks connection state
Returns
true on success, false on failure

Implements yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Reimplemented in yarp::os::impl::TextCarrier.

Definition at line 74 of file TcpCarrier.cpp.

◆ setParameters()

void yarp::os::impl::TcpCarrier::setParameters ( const yarp::os::Bytes header)
overridevirtual

Configure this carrier based on the first 8 bytes of the connection.

This will only be called if checkHeader passed.

Parameters
headera buffer holding the first 8 bytes received on the connection
