The bsdsocket.library get created in memory once you start the AROSTCP. Those included will supply the links for it.
#include <proto/exec.h> struct Library * SocketBase = NULL; int h_errno = 0; extern int errno;
and then in the initialization code:
if(!(SocketBase = OpenLibrary("bsdsocket.library", 4 ))) {
SDLNet_SetError("No TCP/IP Stack running!\n");
return(-1);
}
if( SocketBaseTags(SBTM_SETVAL(SBTC_ERRNOPTR(sizeof(errno))), (IPTR)&errno,
SBTM_SETVAL(SBTC_HERRNOLONGPTR), (IPTR)&h_errno, TAG_DONE )) {
SDLNet_SetError("Error initializing bsdsocket\n");
return(-1);
}
changed the include dir for the networking apps to $(AROS_DEVELOPMENT)/netincludes had to change #include <bsdsocket.h> to include <proto/bsdsocket.h> bsdsocket.library doesn't exist as a binary in libs:. It is created on-the-fly after you do "startnet"
redefine SocketBase to a non-global variable, such as a field in a thread-specific context. E.g.:
#define SocketBase my_thread_context->socket_base
looked at the Task struct and it has tc_UserData, just what I needed I could use this to hold the SocketBase for each task. This approach will work, even if I want to use sockets in the main program. In case someone is interested, I created this little header:
#ifndef TASKSOCKBASE_H #define TASKSOCKBASE_H /* * Per-task socketbase using tc_UserData */ #include <proto/exec.h> #define SocketBase FindTask(NULL)->tc_UserData #define __BSDSOCKET_NOLIBBASE__ #include <proto/bsdsocket.h> #endif
Included this everywhere instead of proto/bsdsocket.h, and used SocketBase as normal.
WaitSelect() works just like select() and would be nice to paste bit of the code here where it fails... sys/select.h WaitSelect can only be used on sockets, not on DOS filehandles. On unix they are handled uniformly, but on Amiga you have to use different code path for file handles and sockets.
#ifndef select(nfds,rfds,wfds,efds,timeout) #define select(nfds,rfds,wfds,efds,timeout) WaitSelect(nfds,rfds,wfds,efds,timeout,NULL) #endif
and the test the select
struct timeval timeout;
int socket_d;
struct fd_set client_d;
//set to 3 mins
timeout.tv_sec = 3 * 60;
timeout.tv_usec = 0;
do
{
rc = select(socket_d + 1, &client_d, NULL, NULL, &timeout);
/* Check to see if the select call failed. */
if (rc < 0)
{
perror(" select() failed");
break;
}
/* Check to see if the 3 minute time out expired. */
if (rc == 0)
{
printf(" select() timed out. End program.\n");
break;
}
}

socket—create an endpoint for communication
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int socket(int domain, int type, int protocol)
DESCRIPTION
Socket() creates an endpoint for communication and returns a
descriptor.
The domain parameter specifies a communications domain within which
communication will take place; this selects the protocol family
which should be used. These families are defined in the include
file <sys/socket.h>. The currently understood formats are
AF_UNIX (UNIX internal protocols),
AF_INET (ARPA Internet protocols),
AF_ISO (ISO protocols),
AF_NS (Xerox Network Systems protocols), and
AF_IMPLINK (IMP ``host at IMP link layer).
AROS AMITCP/IP currently supports only AF_INET protocol family.
The socket has the indicated type, which specifies the semantics of
communication. Currently defined types are:
SOCK_STREAM
SOCK_DGRAM
SOCK_RAW
SOCK_SEQPACKET
SOCK_RDM
A SOCK_STREAM type provides sequenced, reliable, two-way connection
based byte streams. An out-of-band data transmission mechanism
may be supported. A SOCK_DGRAM socket supports datagrams
(connectionless, unreliable messages of a fixed (typically small)
maximum length). A SOCK_SEQPACKET socket may provide a sequenced,
reliable, two-way connection-based data transmission path for
datagrams of fixed maximum length; a consumer may be required to
read an entire packet with each read system call. This facility
is protocol specific, and presently implemented only for PF_NS.
SOCK_RAW sockets provide access to internal network protocols
and interfaces. The types SOCK_RAW, which is available only to
the super-user, and SOCK_RDM, which is planned, but not yet
implemented, are not described here.
The protocol specifies a particular protocol to be used with the
socket. Normally only a single protocol exists to support a
particular socket type within a given protocol family. However,
it is possible that many protocols may exist, in which case a
particular protocol must be specified in this manner. The
protocol number to use is particular to the "communication domain"
in which communication is to take place.
Sockets of type SOCK_STREAM are full-duplex byte streams, similar
to pipes. A stream socket must be in a connected state before any
data may be sent or received on it. A connection to another
socket is created with a connect() call. Once connected, data may
be transferred using recv() and send() or their variant calls.
When a session has been completed a CloseSocket() may be
performed. Out-of-band data may also be transmitted as described
in send() and received as described in recv().
The communications protocols used to implement a SOCK_STREAM insure
that data is not lost or duplicated. If a piece of data for which
the peer protocol has buffer space cannot be successfully
transmitted within a reasonable length of time, then the
connection is considered broken and calls will indicate an error
with -1 returns and with ETIMEDOUT as the specific error code (see
Errno()). The protocols optionally keep sockets "warm" by forcing
transmissions roughly every minute in the absence of other
activity. An error is then indicated if no response can be
elicited on an otherwise idle connection for a extended period
(e.g. 5 minutes).
SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets employ the same system calls as SOCK_STREAM
sockets. The only difference is that recv() calls will return
only the amount of data requested, and any remaining in the
arriving packet will be discarded.
SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_RAW sockets allow sending of datagrams to
correspondents named in send() calls. Datagrams are generally
received with recvfrom(), which returns the next datagram with its
return address.
An IoctlSocket() call can be used to specify a task to receive a
SIGURG signal when the out-of-band data arrives. It may also
enable non-blocking I/O and asynchronous notification of I/O events
via SIGIO.
The operation of sockets is controlled by socket level options.
These options are defined in the file <sys/socket.h>.
setsockopt() and getsockopt() are used to set and get
options, respectively.
RETURN VALUES
A -1 is returned if an error occurs, otherwise the return value is
a descriptor referencing the socket.
ERRORS
The socket() call fails if:
[EPROTONOSUPPORT]
The protocol type or the specified protocol is not supported
within this domain.
[EMFILE]
The per-process descriptor table is full.
[EACCESS]
Permission to create a socket of the specified type and/or
protocol is denied.
[ENOBUFS]
Insufficient buffer space is available. The socket cannot be
created until sufficient resources are freed.
NOTES
socket() calls the fdCallback() with action codes FDCB_CHECK and
FDCB_ALLOC to check and mark the new descriptor as allocated
if the callback is defined. See SocketBaseTagList() for more
information on fdCallback().
Some sample code tutorial
TagList
SocketBaseTagList—Set/Get SocketBase attributes.
SYNOPSIS
#include <amitcp/socketbasetags.h>
ULONG SocketBaseTagList(struct TagItem * taglist);
ULONG SocketBaseTags(ULONG tag, ...);
FUNCTION
Set or get a list of (mostly) SocketBase instance dependent
attributes from the AMITCP/IP.
INPUTS
These functions expect as their argument a standard tag list, one
or several array of struct TagItem as defined in the header file
<utility/tagitem.h>. The structure contains two fields: ti_Tag
and ti_Data. The ti_Tag field contains tag code, which determines
what the SocketBaseTagList() should do with its argument, the
ti_Data field.
The include file <amitcp/socketbasetags.h> defines macros for base
tag code values. Base tag code macros begin with `SBTC_' (as
Socket Base Tag Code). The base tag value defines what data item
the tag item refers.
The tag code contains other information besides the referred data
item. It controls, whether the SocketBaseTagList() should set or
get the appropriate parameter, and whether the argument of the tag
in question is passed by value or by reference.
The include file <amitcp/socketbasetags.h> defines the following
macros, which are used to construct the ti_Tag values from the base
tag codes:
SBTM_GETREF(code) - get by reference
SBTM_GETVAL(code) - get by value
SBTM_SETREF(code) - set by reference
SBTM_SETVAL(code) - set by value
If the actual data is stored directly into the ti_Data field, you
should use the 'by value' macros, SBTM_GETVAL() or SBTM_SETVAL().
However, if the ti_Data field contains a pointer to actual data,
you should use the 'by reference' macros, SBTM_GETREF() or
SBTM_SETREF(). In either case the actual data should always
be a LONG aligned to even address.
According the used tag naming scheme a tag which has "PTR" suffix
takes an pointer as its argument. Don't mix the pointer arguments
with 'by reference' argument passing. It is possible to pass a
pointer by reference (in which case the ti_Data is a pointer to
the actual pointer).
The list of all defined base tag codes is as follows:
SBTC_BREAKMASK
Tag data contains the INTR signal mask. If the calling task
receives a signal in the INTR mask, the AMITCP/IP interrupts
current function calls and returns with the error code EINTR.
The INTR mask defaults to the CTRL-C signal (SIGBREAKF_C,
bit 12).
SBTC_DTABLESIZE
Socket Descriptor Table size. This defaults to 64.
SBTC_ERRNO
The errno value. The values are defined in <sys-errno.h>.
SBTC_ERRNOBYTEPTR
SBTC_ERRNOWORDPTR
SBTC_ERRNOLONGPTR
SBTC_ERRNOPTR(size)
Set (only) the pointer to the errno variable defined by the
program. AMITCP/IP defines a value for this by default, but
the application must set the pointer (and the size of the
errno) with one of these tags, if it wishes to access the
errno variable directly.
The SBTC_ERRNOPTR(size) is a macro, which expands to one of
the other (BYTE, WORD or LONG) tag codes, meaning that only
1, 2 and 4 are legal size values.
The NetLib:autoinit.c sets the errno pointer for the
application, if the application is linked with it.
SBTC_ERRNOSTRPTR
Returns an error string pointer describing the errno value
given on input. You can not set the error message, only get
is allowed.
On call the ti_Data must contain the error code number. On
return the ti_Data is assigned to the string pointer.
(*ti_Data, if passed by reference). See the file
<sys-errno.h> for symbolic definitions for the errno codes.
SBTC_FDCALLBACK
A callback function pointer for coordination of file
descriptor usage between AMITCP/IP and link-library. By
default no callback is called and the value of this pointer
is NULL. The prototype for the callback function is:
int error = fdCallback(int fd, int action);
where
error
- 0 for success or one of the error codes in
<sys-errno.h> in case of error. The AMITCP/IP API
function that calls the callback usually returns the
error back to the caller without any further
modification.
fd
- file descriptor number to take action on.
action
- one of the action codes, which are defined in the
header file <amitcp-socketbasetags.h>) as follows:
FDCB_FREE
- mark the fd as unused on the link library
structure. If fd represents a file handled by the
link library, the error ENOTSOCK should be returned.
FDCB_ALLOC
- mark the fd allocated as a socket.
FDCB_CHECK
-check if the fd is free. If an error is returned,
the fd is marked as used in the AMITCP/IP
structures.
The AMITCP/IP calls the callback every time a socket
descriptor is allocated or freed. AMITCP/IP uses the
FDCB_CHECK before actual allocation to check that it
agrees with the link library on the next free descriptor
number. Thus the link library doesn't need to tell the
AMITCP/IP if it creates a new file handle in open(), for
example.
See file _chkufb.c on the net.lib sources for an example
implementation of the callback function for the SAS/C.
SBTC_HERRNO
The name resolver error code value. Get this to find out why
the gethostbyname() or gethostbyaddr() failed. The values are
defined in <netdb.h>.
SBTC_HERRNOSTRPTR
Returns host error string for error number in tag data. Host
error is set on unsuccessful gethostbyname() and
gethostbyaddr() calls. See the file <netdb.h> for the
symbolic definitions for the herrno valus.
Notes for the SBTC_ERRNOSTRPTR apply also to this tag code.
SBTC_IOERRNOSTRPTR
Returns an error string for standard AmigaOS I/O error number
as defined in the header file <exec-errors.h>. Note that the
error number taken by this tag code is positive, so the error
codes must be negated (to be positive). The positive error
codes depend on the particular IO device, the standard
Sana-II error codes can be retrieved by the tag code
SBTC_S2ERRNOSTRPTR.
Notes for the SBTC_ERRNOSTRPTR apply also to this tag code.
SBTC_LOGFACILITY
Facility code for the syslog messages as defined in
<sys/syslog.h>. Defaults to LOG_USER.
SBTC_LOGMASK
Sets the filter mask of the syslog messages. By default the
mask is 0xff, meaning that all messages are passed to the log
system.
SBTC_LOGSTAT
Syslog options defined in <sys/syslog.h>.
SBTC_LOGTAGPTR
A pointer to a string which is used by Syslog() to mark
individual syslog messages. This defaults to NULL, but is set
to the name of the calling program by the autoinit code in
netlib:autoinit.c. This is for compatibility with pre-3.0
programs.
SBTC_S2ERRNOSTRPTR
Returns an error string for a Sana-II specific I/O error code
as defined in the header file <devices-sana2.h>.
Notes for the SBTC_ERRNOSTRPTR apply also to this tag code.
SBTC_S2WERRNOSTRPTR
Returns an error string for a Sana-II Wire Error code as
defined in the header file <devices-sana2.h>.
Notes for the SBTC_ERRNOSTRPTR apply also to this tag code.
SBTC_SIGEVENTMASK
Tag data contains the signal mask to be sent to the
application whenever notification about socket events is in
order. The default value for this is zero, inhibiting any
event notifications. The application must set this mask if
it desires to be notified about asynchronous socket events.
When the application receives the signal specified in the
mask, it can use the function GetSocketEvents() to find out
what happened.
SBTC_SIGIOMASK
The signals specified in the mask in the tag data are sent to
the calling task when asynhronous I/O is to be notified. The
default value is zero, i.e., no signals are sent. The signals
in the mask are sent whenever something happens on the
socket. This mechanism is compatible with the Unix SIGIO
signal.
Since AmigaOS signals may get combined, one signal may include
notification for originally distinct events on the socket.
One example of this is the reception of data and connection
closure.
Usage of the socket events (see GetSocketEvents()) is
recommended over this because of the problem described above.
SBTC_SIGURGMASK
The signals specified in the mask in the tag data are sent to
the calling task when notification about urgent data arrives.
The default value is zero, i.e. no signals are sent. This
mechanism is compatible with the Unix SIGURG signal.
Note that this signal does not indicate the arrival of the
actual out-of-band data. If the receive buffer of the socket
is full, the urgent data can't even be received. Because of
this the application may need to read some normal data off
the socket before it can read the urgent data.
RESULT
Returns 0 on success, and a (positive) index of the failing tag on
error. Note that the value 1 means first TagItem, 2 the second
one, and so on. The return value is NOT a C-language index, which
are 0 based.
Select
extern LONG WaitSelect(rest);
int select(int nfds,fdset *readfds,rest) just like the header
{
return WaitSelect(rest);
}
</soruce>
==Blocking==
if your problem was O_NONBLOCK than why dont you actually use that setnonblocking()
function to enable non-blocking I/O instead of directly calling fcntl()????
also you may want to use O_NDELAY
O_NONBLOCK and O_NDELAY are same if you can use O_NDELAY
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
int setNonblocking(int fd)
{
int flags;
/* If they have O_NONBLOCK, use the Posix way to do it */
#if defined(O_NONBLOCK)
if (-1 == (flags = fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0)))
flags = 0;
return fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags | O_NONBLOCK);
#else
/* Otherwise, use the old way of doing it */
flags = 1;
return ioctl(fd, FIOBIO, &flags);
#endif
}
or
IoctlSocket(socket, FIONBIO, (char *) &val);
