Detailed Description

Accepts connections and assigns a dedicated TCPConnection object.

Encapsulates a listening socket

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Acceptor() [1/2]

tcp::Acceptor::Acceptor	(	std::string	port,
		int32_t	domain
	)

Constructor for the Acceptor object.

Creates a TCP connection with the capability to listen and accept connections on the given port.

Parameters

port	The port in string format

~Acceptor()

tcp::Acceptor::~Acceptor

(

)

Destructor of the Acceptor object.

Closes the underlying socket handle.

Acceptor() [2/2]

tcp::Acceptor::Acceptor ( Acceptor &&  other )

noexcept

Copy constructor for the Acceptor object.

Moves the underlying socket handle and port from the source object and invalidates the source object

Member Function Documentation

accept()

Connection::connection_ptr tcp::Acceptor::accept

(

)

const

Accepts incoming connections synchronously.

Makes a call to the POSIX accept and creates a shared pointer to a tcp::Connection object with the resulting file descriptor

Returns

A shared pointer to a tcp::Connection object whose socket handle is the file descriptor obtained from POSIX accept

bind()

void tcp::Acceptor::bind

(

)

const

Binds the socket handle to the host machine's address.

Handles getaddrinfo() in passive mode and makes a call to the POSIX bind. See "$ man 2 bind"

listen()

void tcp::Acceptor::listen

(

)

const

Starts listening on the socket for incoming connections.

operator=()

Acceptor & tcp::Acceptor::operator= ( Acceptor &&  other )

noexcept

Copy operator for the Acceptor object.

Closes any open sockets, moves the socket handle and port from the source object, and invalidates the source object
