Net::NBsocket provides a wrapper for Socket and Socket6 to supply Non-Blocking sockets of various flavors;
Open an unbound UDP socket as below.
Open and return an unbound non-blocking UDP socket object
input: [optional] address family (required for IPv6)
returns: pointer to socket object
or undef on failure
Bind to $port_path and an optional IPv4 bind address as returned by inet_aton (defaults to INADDR_ANY).
input: port or unix domain socket path,
[optional] bind address
returns: socket on sucess, else undef;
Author's note: This function was not well thought out and is now deprecated. It may be removed in future versions and is no longer in the EXPORT_OK array though it is still in the module and may be accessed with Net::NBsocket::bind2pp();
Does not support IPv6
Open a blocking TCP listner as below.
Open and return a non-blocking TCP listener bound to $port_path and an optional IPv4 or IPv6 bind address as returned by inet_pton (defaults to INADDR_ANY or in6addr_any for AF_INET6).
Opens a unix-domain socket if port_path is a path instead of a number.
The user must set the appropriate UMASK prior to calling this routine.
input: port or unix domain socket path,
[optional] bind address
[optional] address family, default AF_INET
returns: pointer to listening socket
object or undef on failure
Begin a blocking TCP connection as below.
Begin a non-blocking TCP connection to the host designated by $netaddr on $port_path, or to the unix domain socket designated by the path in $port_path. $netaddr is unused for unix domain sockets.
input: port number or unix domain socket path,
netaddr as returned by inet_aton,
[optional] address family (default AF_INET)
returns: socket object or
undef on failure
Accept a connection and return a BLOCKING socket as below.
Accept a connection from a remote client, return a non-blocking socket and the network address of the remote host as returned by inet_aton or the unix domain socket path if PF_INET or PF_UNIX respectively.
input: listening socket object
returns: client socket object,
client packed netaddr or
unix domain socket path
on failure returns and empty array or undef
Set a socket to Non-Blocking mode
input: SOCK object pointer
returns: true on success or
undef on failure
Set SO_LINGER on top level socket input: sock object pointer, seconds returns: true = success, false = fail
Attempt to bind a socket to the IP address and randomly assigned port number, in the range 49152 through 65535. Fails after 100 attempts
input: socket
netaddr as returned by inet_pton
returns: port number or undef
Takes an argument of a hostname or dot quad ip address and returns a four octet packed network address.
Takes a 4 octet packed network address and returns a dot quad text string. Throws an error if fed a non-standard argument.
In SCALAR context, takes a port number and an IPv4 network address and returns a sockaddr_in structure.
In ARRAY context, takes a sockaddr_in structure and return the port and network address
In SCALAR context, takes its pathname and returns a sockaddr_un structure.
In ARRAY context, takes a sockaddr_un structure and returns its pathname.
This function takes a dot quad IPv4 address or an RFC 1884 text IPv6 address and returns a 4 or 16 octet network address depending on the AF family argument.
This function takes a 4 or 16 octet network address depending on the AF family argument and returns a IPv4 dot quad or IPv6 text address respectively.
This function takes an RFC 1884 IPv6 text address and returns a 16 octet IPv6 network address.
This function takes an IPv6 network address and returns an IPv6 hex text address. Throws an error if fed a non-standard argument.
This function takes an IPv6 network address and returns and IPv6 text address with the last two octets in IPv4 dot quad representation.
This constant returns the wildcard address, equivalent to inet_aton('0.0.0.0');
This constant returns the wildcard address, equivalent to inet_aton('255.255.255.255');
This constant returns the LOCALHOST address, equivalent to inet_aton('127.0.0.1');
This constant returns the invalid address, equivalent to inet_aton('255.255.255.255');
This constant returns the AF_INET family number.
This constant retunrs the AF_INET6 family number for this operating system.
This constant returns the IPv6 16 octet wildcard address, equivalent to ipv6_aton('::0');
This constant returns the IPv6 16 octet LOCALHOST address, equivalent to ipv6_aton('::1');
This function returns TRUE if Socket6 is loaded on this host, else returns FALSE.
This function returns TRUE if Socket6 is loaded on this host and the underlying operating system suports IPv6 sockets, else returns FALSE.
If Socket6 is loaded on this host, in SCALAR context, takes a port number and an IPv6 network address and returns a sockaddr_in6 structure. If Socket6 is not loaded, returns undef.
If Socket6 is loaded on this host, in ARRAY context, takes a sockaddr_in6 structure and returns the port number and IPv6 netaddr. If Socket6 is not loaded, returns and empty array.
