Detailed Description

Specialized socket using the TCP protocol.

TCP is a connected protocol, which means that a TCP socket can only communicate with the host it is connected to.

It can't send or receive anything if it is not connected.

The TCP protocol is reliable but adds a slight overhead. It ensures that your data will always be received in order and without errors (no data corrupted, lost or duplicated).

When a socket is connected to a remote host, you can retrieve informations about this host with the getRemoteAddress and getRemotePort functions. You can also get the local port to which the socket is bound (which is automatically chosen when the socket is connected), with the getLocalPort function.

Sending and receiving data can use either the low-level or the high-level functions. The low-level functions process a raw sequence of bytes, and cannot ensure that one call to Send will exactly match one call to Receive at the other end of the socket.

The high-level interface uses packets (see sf::Packet), which are easier to use and provide more safety regarding the data that is exchanged. You can look at the sf::Packet class to get more details about how they work.

The socket is automatically disconnected when it is destroyed, but if you want to explicitly close the connection while the socket instance is still alive, you can call disconnect.

Usage example:

// ----- The client -----
// Create a socket and connect it to 192.168.1.50 on port 55001
socket.connect("192.168.1.50", 55001);
// Send a message to the connected host
std::string message = "Hi, I am a client";
socket.send(message.c_str(), message.size() + 1);
// Receive an answer from the server
char buffer[1024];
std::size_t received = 0;
socket.receive(buffer, sizeof(buffer), received);
std::cout << "The server said: " << buffer << std::endl;
// ----- The server -----
// Create a listener to wait for incoming connections on port 55001
sf::TcpListener listener;
listener.listen(55001);
// Wait for a connection
listener.accept(socket);
std::cout << "New client connected: " << socket.getRemoteAddress() << std::endl;
// Receive a message from the client
char buffer[1024];
std::size_t received = 0;
socket.receive(buffer, sizeof(buffer), received);
std::cout << "The client said: " << buffer << std::endl;
// Send an answer
std::string message = "Welcome, client";
socket.send(message.c_str(), message.size() + 1);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TcpSocket()

sf::TcpSocket::TcpSocket ( )

Default constructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ close()

void sf::Socket::close ( )
protectedinherited

Close the socket gracefully.

This function can only be accessed by derived classes.

◆ connect()

Status sf::TcpSocket::connect ( const IpAddress remoteAddress,
unsigned short  remotePort,
Time  timeout = Time::Zero 
)

Connect the socket to a remote peer.

In blocking mode, this function may take a while, especially if the remote peer is not reachable. The last parameter allows you to stop trying to connect after a given timeout. If the socket is already connected, the connection is forcibly disconnected before attempting to connect again.

Parameters
remoteAddressAddress of the remote peer
remotePortPort of the remote peer
timeoutOptional maximum time to wait
Returns
Status code
See also
disconnect

◆ create() [1/2]

void sf::Socket::create ( )
protectedinherited

Create the internal representation of the socket.

This function can only be accessed by derived classes.

◆ create() [2/2]

void sf::Socket::create ( SocketHandle  handle)
protectedinherited

Create the internal representation of the socket from a socket handle.

This function can only be accessed by derived classes.

Parameters
handleOS-specific handle of the socket to wrap

◆ disconnect()

void sf::TcpSocket::disconnect ( )

Disconnect the socket from its remote peer.

This function gracefully closes the connection. If the socket is not connected, this function has no effect.

See also
connect

◆ getHandle()

SocketHandle sf::Socket::getHandle ( ) const
protectedinherited

Return the internal handle of the socket.

The returned handle may be invalid if the socket was not created yet (or already destroyed). This function can only be accessed by derived classes.

Returns
The internal (OS-specific) handle of the socket

◆ getLocalPort()

unsigned short sf::TcpSocket::getLocalPort ( ) const

Get the port to which the socket is bound locally.

If the socket is not connected, this function returns 0.

Returns
Port to which the socket is bound
See also
connect, getRemotePort

◆ getRemoteAddress()

IpAddress sf::TcpSocket::getRemoteAddress ( ) const

Get the address of the connected peer.

If the socket is not connected, this function returns sf::IpAddress::None.

Returns
Address of the remote peer
See also
getRemotePort

◆ getRemotePort()

unsigned short sf::TcpSocket::getRemotePort ( ) const

Get the port of the connected peer to which the socket is connected.

If the socket is not connected, this function returns 0.

Returns
Remote port to which the socket is connected
See also
getRemoteAddress

◆ isBlocking()

bool sf::Socket::isBlocking ( ) const
inherited

Tell whether the socket is in blocking or non-blocking mode.

Returns
True if the socket is blocking, false otherwise
See also
setBlocking

◆ receive() [1/2]

Status sf::TcpSocket::receive ( Packet packet)

Receive a formatted packet of data from the remote peer.

In blocking mode, this function will wait until the whole packet has been received. This function will fail if the socket is not connected.

Parameters
packetPacket to fill with the received data
Returns
Status code
See also
send

◆ receive() [2/2]

Status sf::TcpSocket::receive ( void *  data,
std::size_t  size,
std::size_t &  received 
)

Receive raw data from the remote peer.

In blocking mode, this function will wait until some bytes are actually received. This function will fail if the socket is not connected.

Parameters
dataPointer to the array to fill with the received bytes
sizeMaximum number of bytes that can be received
receivedThis variable is filled with the actual number of bytes received
Returns
Status code
See also
send

◆ send() [1/3]

Status sf::TcpSocket::send ( const void *  data,
std::size_t  size 
)

Send raw data to the remote peer.

To be able to handle partial sends over non-blocking sockets, use the send(const void*, std::size_t, std::size_t&) overload instead. This function will fail if the socket is not connected.

Parameters
dataPointer to the sequence of bytes to send
sizeNumber of bytes to send
Returns
Status code
See also
receive

◆ send() [2/3]

Status sf::TcpSocket::send ( const void *  data,
std::size_t  size,
std::size_t &  sent 
)

Send raw data to the remote peer.

This function will fail if the socket is not connected.

Parameters
dataPointer to the sequence of bytes to send
sizeNumber of bytes to send
sentThe number of bytes sent will be written here
Returns
Status code
See also
receive

◆ send() [3/3]

Status sf::TcpSocket::send ( Packet packet)

Send a formatted packet of data to the remote peer.

In non-blocking mode, if this function returns sf::Socket::Partial, you must retry sending the same unmodified packet before sending anything else in order to guarantee the packet arrives at the remote peer uncorrupted. This function will fail if the socket is not connected.

Parameters
packetPacket to send
Returns
Status code
See also
receive

◆ setBlocking()

void sf::Socket::setBlocking ( bool  blocking)
inherited

Set the blocking state of the socket.

In blocking mode, calls will not return until they have completed their task. For example, a call to Receive in blocking mode won't return until some data was actually received. In non-blocking mode, calls will always return immediately, using the return code to signal whether there was data available or not. By default, all sockets are blocking.

Parameters
blockingTrue to set the socket as blocking, false for non-blocking
See also
isBlocking
