Description

A representation of an ICE candidate. Make sure you read the ICE drafts[1] to understand correctly the concept of ICE candidates.

[1] http://tools.ietf.org/wg/mmusic/draft-ietf-mmusic-ice/

Functions

nice_candidate_new ()

NiceCandidate *
nice_candidate_new (NiceCandidateType type);

Creates a new candidate. Must be freed with nice_candidate_free()

Parameters

type

The NiceCandidateType of the candidate to create

 

Returns

A new NiceCandidate


nice_candidate_free ()

void
nice_candidate_free (NiceCandidate *candidate);

Frees a NiceCandidate

Parameters

candidate

The candidate to free

 

nice_candidate_copy ()

NiceCandidate *
nice_candidate_copy (const NiceCandidate *candidate);

Makes a copy of a NiceCandidate

Parameters

candidate

The candidate to copy

 

Returns

A new NiceCandidate, a copy of candidate


nice_candidate_equal_target ()

gboolean
nice_candidate_equal_target (const NiceCandidate *candidate1,
                             const NiceCandidate *candidate2);

Verifies that the candidates point to the same place, meaning they have the same transport and the same address. It ignores all other aspects.

Parameters

candidate1

A candidate

 

candidate2

A candidate

 

Returns

TRUE if the candidates point to the same place

Since: 0.1.15

Types and Values

struct NiceCandidate

struct NiceCandidate {
  NiceCandidateType type;
  NiceCandidateTransport transport;
  NiceAddress addr;
  NiceAddress base_addr;
  guint32 priority;
  guint stream_id;
  guint component_id;
  gchar foundation[NICE_CANDIDATE_MAX_FOUNDATION];
  gchar *username;        /* pointer to a nul-terminated username string */
  gchar *password;        /* pointer to a nul-terminated password string */
  TurnServer *turn;
  gpointer sockptr;
};

A structure to represent an ICE candidate

The priority is an integer as specified in the ICE draft 19. If you are using the MSN or the GOOGLE compatibility mode (which are based on ICE draft 6, which uses a floating point qvalue as priority), then the priority value will represent the qvalue multiplied by 1000.
