=head1 DESCRIPTION

POE::Wheel::SocketFactory creates sockets upon demand.  It can create
connectionless UDP sockets, but it really shines for client/server
work where establishing connections normally would block.

=head1 PUBLIC METHODS

=head2 new

new() creates a new POE::Wheel::SocketFactory object.  For sockets
which listen() for and accept() connections, the wheel will generate
new sockets for each accepted client.  Socket factories for one-shot
sockets, such as UDP peers or clients established by connect() only
emit a single socket and can be destroyed afterwards without ill
effects.

new() always returns a POE::Wheel::SocketFactory object even if it
fails to establish the socket.  This allows the object to be queried
after it has sent its session a C<FailureEvent>.

new() accepts a healthy number of named parameters, each governing
some aspect of socket creation.

=head3 Creating the Socket

Socket creation is done with Perl's built-in socket() function.  The
new() parameters beginning with C<Socket> determine how socket() will
be called.

=head4 SocketDomain

C<SocketDomain> instructs the wheel to create a socket within a
particular domain.  Supported domains are C<AF_UNIX>, C<AF_INET>,
C<AF_INET6>, C<PF_UNIX>, C<PF_INET>, and C<PF_INET6>.  If omitted, the
socket will be created in the C<AF_INET> domain.

POE::Wheel::SocketFactory contains a table of supported domains and
the instructions needed to create them.  Please send patches to
support additional domains, as needed.

Note: C<AF_INET6> and C<PF_INET6> are supplied by the L<Socket>
module included in Perl 5.8.0 or later.  Perl versions before 5.8.0
should not attempt to use IPv6 until someone contributes a workaround.

IPv6 support requires a Socket module that implements getaddrinfo()
and unpack_sockaddr_in6().  There may be other modules that perform
these functions, but most if not all of them have been deprecated with
the advent of proper core Socket support for IPv6.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head4 SocketType

C<SocketType> supplies the socket() call with a particular socket
type, which may be C<SOCK_STREAM> or C<SOCK_DGRAM>.  C<SOCK_STREAM> is
the default if C<SocketType> is not supplied.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head4 SocketProtocol

C<SocketProtocol> sets the socket() call's protocol.  Protocols may be
specified by number or name.  C<SocketProtocol> is ignored for UNIX
domain sockets.

The protocol defaults to "tcp" for INET domain sockets.  There is no
default for other socket domains.

TODO - Example.

=head3 Setting Socket Options

POE::Wheel::SocketFactory uses ioctl(), fcntl() and setsockopt() to
set socket options after the socket is created.  All sockets are set
non-blocking, and bound sockets may be made reusable.

=head4 Reuse

When set, the C<Reuse> parameter allows a bound port to be reused
immediately.  C<Reuse> is considered enabled if it contains "yes",
"on", or a true numeric value.  All other values disable port reuse,
as does omitting C<Reuse> entirely.

For security purposes, a port cannot be reused for a minute or more
after a server has released it.  This gives clients time to realize
the port has been abandoned.  Otherwise a malicious service may snatch
up the port and spoof the legitimate service.

It's also terribly annoying to wait a minute or more between server
invocations, especially during development.

=head3 Bind the Socket to an Address and Port

A socket may optionally be bound to a specific interface and port.
The C<INADDR_ANY> address may be used to bind to a specific port
across all interfaces.

Sockets are bound using bind().  POE::Wheel::SocketFactory parameters
beginning with C<Bind> control how bind() is called.

=head4 BindAddress

C<BindAddress> sets an address to bind the socket's local endpoint to.
C<INADDR_ANY> will be used if C<BindAddress> is not specified.

C<BindAddress> may contain either a string or a packed Internet
address (for "INET" domain sockets).  The string parameter should be a
dotted numeric address or a resolvable host name.  Note that the host
name will be resolved with a blocking call.  If this is not desired,
use POE::Component::Client::DNS to perform a non-blocking name
resolution.

When used to bind a "UNIX" domain socket, C<BindAddress> should
contain a path describing the socket's filename.  This is required for
server sockets and datagram client sockets.  C<BindAddress> has no
default value for UNIX sockets.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head4 BindPort

C<BindPort> is only meaningful for "INET" domain sockets.  It contains
a port on the C<BindAddress> interface where the socket will be bound.
It defaults to 0 if omitted, which will cause the bind() call to
choose an indeterminate unallocated port.

C<BindPort> may be a port number or a name that can be looked up in
the system's services (or equivalent) database.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head3 Connectionless Sockets

Connectionless sockets may interact with remote endpoints without
needing to listen() for connections or connect() to remote addresses.

This class of sockets is complete after the bind() call.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head3 Connecting the Socket to a Remote Endpoint

A socket may either listen for connections to arrive, initiate
connections to a remote endpoint, or be connectionless (such as in the
case of UDP sockets).

POE::Wheel::SocketFactory will initiate a client connection when new()
is capped with parameters that describe a remote endpoint.  In all
other cases, the socket will either listen for connections or be
connectionless depending on the socket type.

The following parameters describe a socket's remote endpoint.  They
determine how POE::Wheel::SocketFactory will call Perl's built-in
connect() function.

=head4 RemoteAddress

C<RemoteAddress> specifies the remote address to which a socket should
connect.  If present, POE::Wheel::SocketFactory will create a client
socket that attempts to collect to the C<RemoteAddress>.  Otherwise,
if the protocol warrants it, the wheel will create a listening socket
and attempt to accept connections.

As with the bind address, C<RemoteAddress> may be a string containing
a dotted quad or a resolvable host name.  It may also be a packed
Internet address, or a UNIX socket path.  It will be packed, with or
without an accompanying C<RemotePort>, as necessary for the socket
domain.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head4 RemotePort

C<RemotePort> is the port to which the socket should connect.  It is
required for "INET" client sockets, since the remote endpoint must
contain both an address and a port.

The remote port may be numeric, or it may be a symbolic name found in
/etc/services or the equivalent for your operating system.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head3 Listening for Connections

Streaming sockets that have no remote endpoint are considered to be
server sockets.  POE::Wheel::SocketFactory will listen() for
connections to these sockets, accept() the new clients, and send the
application events with the new client sockets.

POE::Wheel::SocketFactory constructor parameters beginning with
C<Listen> control how the listen() function is called.

=head4 ListenQueue

C<ListenQueue> specifies the length of the socket's listen() queue.
It defaults to C<SOMAXCONN> if omitted.  C<ListenQueue> values greater
than C<SOMAXCONN> will be clipped to C<SOMAXCONN>.  Excessively large
C<ListenQueue> values are not necessarily portable, and may cause
errors in some rare cases.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head3 Emitting Events

POE::Wheel::SocketFactory emits a small number of events depending on
what happens during socket setup or while listening for new
connections.

See L</PUBLIC EVENTS> for more details.

=head4 SuccessEvent

C<SuccessEvent> names the event that will be emitted whenever
POE::Wheel::SocketFactory succeeds in creating a new socket.

For connectionless sockets, C<SuccessEvent> happens just after the
socket is created.

For client connections, C<SuccessEvent> is fired when the connection
has successfully been established with the remote endpoint.

Server sockets emit a C<SuccessEvent> for every successfully accepted
client.

=head4 FailureEvent

C<FailureEvent> names the event POE::Wheel::SocketFactory will emit
whenever something goes wrong.  It usually represents some kind of
built-in function call error.  See L</PUBLIC EVENTS> for details, as
some errors are handled internally by this wheel.

=head2 event

event() allows a session to change the events emitted by a wheel
without destroying and re-creating the wheel.  It accepts one or more
of the events listed in L</PUBLIC EVENTS>.  Undefined event names
disable those events.

event() is described in more depth in L<POE::Wheel>.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head2 getsockname

getsockname() behaves like the built-in function of the same name.  It
returns the local endpoint information for POE::Wheel::SocketFactory's
encapsulated listening socket.

getsockname() allows applications to determine the address and port
to which POE::Wheel::SocketFactory has bound its listening socket.

Test applications may use getsockname() to find the server socket
after POE::Wheel::SocketFactory has bound to INADDR_ANY port 0.

Since there is no event fired immediately after a successful creation of a
listening socket, applications can use getsockname() to verify this.

 use Socket 'unpack_sockaddr_in';

 my $listener = POE::Wheel::SocketFactory->new(
     BindPort     => 123,
     SuccessEvent => 'got_client',
     FailureEvent => 'listener_failed',
     Reuse        => 'on',
 );

 my ($port, $addr) = unpack_sockaddr_in($listener->getsockname);
 print "Socket successfully bound\n" if $port;

=head2 ID

ID() returns the wheel's unique ID.  The ID will also be included in
every event the wheel generates.  Applications can match events back
to the objects that generated them.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head2 pause_accept

Applications may occasionally need to block incoming connections.
pause_accept() pauses the event watcher that triggers accept().  New
inbound connections will stack up in the socket's listen() queue until
the queue overflows or the application calls resume_accept().

Pausing accept() can limit the amount of load a server generates.
It's also useful in pre-forking servers when the master process
shouldn't accept connections at all.

pause_accept() and resume_accept() is quicker and more reliable than
dynamically destroying and re-creating a POE::Wheel::SocketFactory
object.

=for comment
TODO - Example.

=head2 resume_accept

resume_accept() resumes the watcher that triggers accept().  See
L</pause_accept> for a more detailed discussion.

=head1 PUBLIC EVENTS

POE::Wheel::SocketFactory emits two public events.

=head2 SuccessEvent

C<SuccessEvent> names an event that will be sent to the creating
session whenever a POE::Wheel::SocketFactory has created a new socket.
For connectionless sockets, it's when the socket is created.  For
connecting clients, it's after the connection has been established.
And for listening servers, C<SuccessEvent> is fired after each new
client is accepted.

=head3 Common SuccessEvent Parameters

In all cases, C<$_[ARG0]> holds the new socket's filehandle, and
C<$_[ARG3]> contains the POE::Wheel::SocketFactory's ID.  Other
parameters vary depending on the socket's domain and whether it's
listening or connecting.  See below for the differences.

=head3 INET SuccessEvent Parameters

For INET sockets, C<$_[ARG1]> and C<$_[ARG2]> hold the socket's remote
address and port, respectively.  The address is packed; see
L<Socket/inet_ntoa> if a human-readable IPv4 address is needed.
L<Socket::GetAddrInfo/getnameinfo> provides numeric addresses for IPv4
and IPv6 addresses.

  sub handle_new_client {
    my $accepted_socket = $_[ARG0];

    my $peer_host = inet_ntoa($_[ARG1]);
    print(
      "Wheel $_[ARG3] accepted a connection from ",
      "$peer_host port $peer_port\n"
    );

    spawn_connection_session($accepted_handle);
  }

=head3 UNIX Client SuccessEvent Parameters

For UNIX client sockets, C<$_[ARG1]> often (but not always) holds the
server address.  Some systems cannot retrieve a UNIX socket's remote
address.  C<$_[ARG2]> is always undef for UNIX client sockets.

=head3 UNIX Server SuccessEvent Parameters

According to I<Perl Cookbook>, the remote address returned by accept()
on UNIX sockets is undefined, so C<$_[ARG1]> and C<$_[ARG2]> are also
undefined in this case.

=head2 FailureEvent

C<FailureEvent> names the event that will be emitted when a socket
error occurs.  POE::Wheel::SocketFactory handles C<EAGAIN> internally,
so it doesn't count as an error.

C<FailureEvent> events include the standard error event parameters:

C<$_[ARG0]> describes which part of socket creation failed.  It often
holds a Perl built-in function name.

C<$_[ARG1]> and C<$_[ARG2]> describe how the operation failed.  They
contain the numeric and stringified versions of C<$!>, respectively.
An application cannot merely check the global C<$!> variable since it
may change during event dispatch.

Finally, C<$_[ARG3]> contains the ID for the POE::Wheel::SocketFactory
instance that generated the event.  See L</ID> and L<POE::Wheel/ID>
for uses for wheel IDs.

A sample FailureEvent handler:

  sub handle_failure {
    my ($operation, $errnum, $errstr, $wheel_id) = @_[ARG0..ARG3];
    warn "Wheel $wheel_id generated $operation error $errnum: $errstr\n";
    delete $_[HEAP]{wheels}{$wheel_id}; # shut down that wheel
  }

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<POE::Wheel> describes the basic operations of all wheels in more
depth.  You need to know this.

L<Socket::GetAddrInfo> is required for IPv6 work.
POE::Wheel::SocketFactory will load it automatically if it's
installed.  SocketDomain => AF_INET6 is required to trigger IPv6
behaviors.  AF_INET6 is exported by the Socket module on all but the
oldest versions of Perl 5.  If your Socket doesn't provide AF_INET6,
try installing Socket6 instead.

The SEE ALSO section in L<POE> contains a table of contents covering
the entire POE distribution.

=head1 BUGS

Many (if not all) of the croak/carp/warn/die statements should fire
back C<FailureEvent> instead.

SocketFactory is only tested with UNIX streams and INET sockets using
the UDP and TCP protocols.  Others should work after the module's
internal configuration tables are updated.  Please send patches.
