class Server

The original object used to manage data flow into and out of the server program.

Public Fields

int socketHandle

File descriptor returned by socket system call

int port

Port on host that clients will connect to

char dataFormat

When data is exchanged, will it be in ascii/binary format?

queue<char*> dataQueue

data waiting to go out - only used by writers

queue<int> dataSize

nuber of bytes in data

list<int> clients

socket descriptor for clients connected

char* remainingData

holder for leftover data

int remainingLength

length of remaining data

bool verbose

If this is true, them the server should output activity to stdout

char* name

For automatic port assignments, use a name to reference the server

Public Methods

void append( int &length, char* &buffer )

add some amount of data read off a socket onto the remainingData

int parse()

do as best as you can to parse data from remaining data

void setVerbose( int mode )

set whether the server should be verbose or not

void reset()

clear queues, pending data, clients

void setName( char* newName )

Sets the name of this server to a newName.

int getPort( char* targetName )

Check whether a string is the same as this server's name, and return this server's port value if it is; otherwise, return -1.

Documentation

The original object used to manage data flow into and out of the server program. This Server object handled one port and clients could connect to it. Is mostly deprecated with creation of the Connection object.

void setName( char* newName )

Sets the name of this server to a newName. If this server already had a name, it deallocates that original name, and reallocates memory for the new name.

Parameters:

newName - String to set this server's name to.

int getPort( char* targetName )

Check whether a string is the same as this server's name, and return this server's port value if it is; otherwise, return -1.

Parameters:

targetName - String to compare this server's name with

Returns:

-1 if not a match, this server's port value if the names match

This class has no child classes.
