GSocketConnectable

GSocketConnectable — Interface for potential socket endpoints

Types and Values

Object Hierarchy

    GInterface
    ╰── GSocketConnectable

Prerequisites

GSocketConnectable requires GObject.

Known Implementations

GSocketConnectable is implemented by GInetSocketAddress, GNetworkAddress, GNetworkService, GProxyAddress, GSocketAddress and GUnixSocketAddress.

Includes

#include <gio/gio.h>

Description

Objects that describe one or more potential socket endpoints implement GSocketConnectable. Callers can then use g_socket_connectable_enumerate() to get a GSocketAddressEnumerator to try out each socket address in turn until one succeeds, as shown in the sample code below.

Functions

g_socket_connectable_enumerate ()

GSocketAddressEnumerator *
g_socket_connectable_enumerate (GSocketConnectable *connectable);

Creates a GSocketAddressEnumerator for connectable .

Parameters

connectable

a GSocketConnectable

 

Returns

a new GSocketAddressEnumerator.

[transfer full]

Since: 2.22


g_socket_connectable_proxy_enumerate ()

GSocketAddressEnumerator *
g_socket_connectable_proxy_enumerate (GSocketConnectable *connectable);

Creates a GSocketAddressEnumerator for connectable that will return GProxyAddresses for addresses that you must connect to via a proxy.

If connectable does not implement g_socket_connectable_proxy_enumerate(), this will fall back to calling g_socket_connectable_enumerate().

Parameters

connectable

a GSocketConnectable

 

Returns

a new GSocketAddressEnumerator.

[transfer full]

Since: 2.26


g_socket_connectable_to_string ()

gchar *
g_socket_connectable_to_string (GSocketConnectable *connectable);

Format a GSocketConnectable as a string. This is a human-readable format for use in debugging output, and is not a stable serialization format. It is not suitable for use in user interfaces as it exposes too much information for a user.

If the GSocketConnectable implementation does not support string formatting, the implementation’s type name will be returned as a fallback.

Parameters

connectable

a GSocketConnectable

 

Returns

the formatted string.

[transfer full]

Since: 2.48

Types and Values

GSocketConnectable

typedef struct _GSocketConnectable GSocketConnectable;

Interface for objects that contain or generate GSocketAddresses.


struct GSocketConnectableIface

struct GSocketConnectableIface {
  GTypeInterface g_iface;

  /* Virtual Table */

  GSocketAddressEnumerator * (* enumerate)       (GSocketConnectable *connectable);

  GSocketAddressEnumerator * (* proxy_enumerate) (GSocketConnectable *connectable);

  gchar                    * (* to_string)       (GSocketConnectable *connectable);
};

Provides an interface for returning a GSocketAddressEnumerator and GProxyAddressEnumerator

Members

enumerate ()

Creates a GSocketAddressEnumerator

 

proxy_enumerate ()

Creates a GProxyAddressEnumerator

 

to_string ()

Format the connectable’s address as a string for debugging. Implementing this is optional. (Since: 2.48)
