Socket API type definitions

POSIX-compliant Socket#

The Socket component offers a POSIX-compliant alternative to the Wi-SUN stack native socket API. The Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) is a family of standards specified by the IEEE Computer Society. It promotes compatibility and portability of software solutions and is extremely valuable in the IP world to leverage the various application protocols. In this sense, the socket component can accelerate the integration of existing software libraries on top of the Wi-SUN stack.

The component allows the application to create/destroy sockets, set socket options, and send or receive IP packets using the APIs defined in the POSIX standard. The APIs exposed by the component are thread safe. The graphical configuration interface gives access to a number of configurations like the maximum count of available sockets and the FIFO buffer size. The component includes the socket-related event handler implementations.

To use the component in your application, add it to your project.

Function Documentation#

socket#

int32_t socket (sock_domain_t domain, sock_type_t type, proto_type_t protocol)

Create an endpoint for ocket ID communication and return.

Parameters
[in]domain

The communication domain, this selects the protocol family. It can be: AF_WISUN - Wi-SUN FAN AF_INET6 - External IPv6 network socket (future implementation) AF_INET - External IPv4 network address (future implementation)

[in]type

The communication semantics It can be: SOCK_STREAM - Stream Socket type (TCP) SOCK_DGRAM - Datagram Socket type (UDP) SOCK_RAW - Raw Socket type (ICMP)

[in]protocol

Specifies the particular protocol to be used. It can be: IPPROTO_AUTO - Auto selection SOCK_STREAM -> TCP, SOCK_DGRAM -> UDP IPPROTO_IP - Same then IPPROTO_AUTO IPPROTO_ICMP - Ping IPPROTO_TCP - TCP protocol IPPROTO_UDP - UDP protocol

Socket API supports Wi-SUN FAN and external IP network communications. External handlers can be implemented; Default implementations are weak functions. Created sockets are added to the socket handler automatically. Returns

  • if any error occurred, return with -1, otherwise return with the socket id


Definition at line 222 of file /mnt/raid/workspaces/ws.SZ9MaSA5u/overlay/gsdk/app/wisun/component/socket/socket.h
