NAME

       FBB::SocketBase - Base class for socket-constructing classes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/socketbase>
       Linking option: -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION

       This  class is a base class for the FBB::ServerSocket and FBB::ClientSocket classes. Since
       it is designed as a base class, all its constructors are protected.

NAMESPACE

       FBB
       All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned  in  this  man-page,  are
       defined in the namespace FBB.

INHERITS FROM

       FBB::InetAddress

PROTECTED CONSTRUCTORS

       o      SocketBase(size_t port):
              This  constructor  creates  a  SocketBase  to  be  used  with ServerSocket-objects,
              listening on port.

              This constructor throws an Exception exception if it did not properly complete.

       o      SocketBase(std::string const &host, uint16_t port):
              This constructor creates a FBB::SocketBase to be used with  a  ClientSocket-object,
              connecting to hostname, at port `port’.

              This constructor throws an Exception exception if it did not properly complete.

       o      SocketBase(int socket, sockaddr_in const &address):
              This  constructor  constructs  a FBB::SocketBase object initializing its socket and
              FBB::InetAddress part from available external objects.

       The (public) copy constructor is available.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       All members of FBB::InetAddress are  available,  as  FBB::SocketBase  inherits  from  this
       class.

       o      bool debug() const:
              This  accessor  returns  true  if  the  socket’s  debug (SO_DEBUG) socket option is
              active. It throws an FBB::Exception exception if the status  of  the  debug  option
              could not be determined.

       o      bool reuse() const:
              This  accessor  returns  true if the socket’s reuse (SO_REUSEADDR) socket option is
              active. It throws an FBB::Exception exception if the status  of  the  reuse  option
              could not be determined.

       o      void setDebug(bool trueIsOn) const:
              This  member  may be used to modify the socket’s debug (SO_DEBUG) socket option. It
              throws an FBB::Exception exception if  the  socket’s  debug  option  could  not  be
              modified.

       o      void setReuse(bool trueIsOn) const:
              This  member may be used to modify the socket’s reuse (SO_REUSEADDR) socket option.
              It throws an FBB::Exception exception if the socket’s reuse  option  could  not  be
              modified.

       o      int socket() const:
              This accessor returns the FBB::SocketBase’s socket value.

       o      void verify() const:
              Obsoleted, will be removed in a future Bobcat release.

EXAMPLE

       The classes FBB::ClientSocket and FBB::ServerSocket were derived from SocketBase. E.g.,
       #ifndef INCLUDED_BOBCAT_CLIENTSOCKET_
       #define INCLUDED_BOBCAT_CLIENTSOCKET_

       #include <string>
       #include <bobcat/socketbase>

       namespace FBB
       {

       class ClientSocket: public SocketBase
       {
           public:
                                       // host may be address or name
               ClientSocket(std::string const &host, uint16_t port);

               int connect();          // returns fd (socket) to talk to the server
       };

       } // FBB

       #endif

       See   the   clientsocket(3bobcat)   man-page   for   an   example   showing   how  to  use
       FBB::ClientSocket.
