Description |
The Network.Socket module is for when you want full control over
sockets. Essentially the entire C socket API is exposed through
this module; in general the operations follow the behaviour of the C
functions of the same name (consult your favourite Unix networking book). A higher level interface to networking operations is provided
through the module Network.

Socket Operations |
|
socket :: Family -> SocketType -> ProtocolNumber -> IO Socket |
|
socketPair :: Family -> SocketType -> ProtocolNumber -> IO (Socket, Socket) |
|
connect :: Socket -> SockAddr -> IO () |
|
bindSocket :: Socket -> SockAddr -> IO () |
|
listen :: Socket -> Int -> IO () |
|
accept :: Socket -> IO (Socket, SockAddr) |
|
getPeerName :: Socket -> IO SockAddr |
|
getSocketName :: Socket -> IO SockAddr |
|
getPeerCred :: Socket -> IO (CUInt, CUInt, CUInt) |
Returns the processID, userID and groupID of the socket's peer. Only available on platforms that support SO_PEERCRED on domain sockets. |
|
socketPort :: Socket -> IO PortNumber |
|
socketToHandle :: Socket -> IOMode -> IO Handle |
|
sendTo :: Socket -> String -> SockAddr -> IO Int |
|
recvFrom :: Socket -> Int -> IO (String, Int, SockAddr) |
|
send :: Socket -> String -> IO Int |
|
recv :: Socket -> Int -> IO String |
|
inet_addr :: String -> IO HostAddress |
|
inet_ntoa :: HostAddress -> IO String |
|
shutdown :: Socket -> ShutdownCmd -> IO () |
|
sClose :: Socket -> IO () |
|
Predicates on sockets |
|
sIsConnected :: Socket -> IO Bool |
|
sIsBound :: Socket -> IO Bool |
|
sIsListening :: Socket -> IO Bool |
|
sIsReadable :: Socket -> IO Bool |
|
sIsWritable :: Socket -> IO Bool |
|
Socket options |
|
data SocketOption |
Constructors | DummySocketOption__ | | Debug | | ReuseAddr | | Type | | SoError | | DontRoute | | Broadcast | | SendBuffer | | RecvBuffer | | KeepAlive | | OOBInline | | TimeToLive | | MaxSegment | | NoDelay | | Linger | | RecvLowWater | | SendLowWater | | RecvTimeOut | | SendTimeOut | |
|
|
|
getSocketOption :: Socket -> SocketOption -> IO Int |
|
setSocketOption :: Socket -> SocketOption -> Int -> IO () |
|
Ancilliary data |
|
sendAncillary :: Socket -> Int -> Int -> Int -> Ptr a -> Int -> IO () |
|
recvAncillary :: Socket -> Int -> Int -> IO (Int, Int, Ptr a, Int) |
|
Special Constants |
|
aNY_PORT :: PortNumber |
|
iNADDR_ANY :: HostAddress |
|
sOMAXCONN :: Int |
|
sOL_SOCKET :: Int |
|
sCM_RIGHTS :: Int |
|
maxListenQueue :: Int |
|
Initialisation |
|
withSocketsDo :: IO a -> IO a |
On Windows operating systems, the networking subsystem has to be
initialised using withSocketsDo before any networking operations can
be used. eg. main = withSocketsDo $ do {...} Although this is only strictly necessary on Windows platforms, it is
harmless on other platforms, so for portability it is good practice to
use it all the time.
|
|
Very low level operations |
|
fdSocket :: Socket -> CInt |
|
mkSocket :: CInt -> Family -> SocketType -> ProtocolNumber -> SocketStatus -> IO Socket |
|
Internal |
|
The following are exported ONLY for use in the BSD module and
should not be used anywhere else. |
|
packFamily :: Family -> CInt |
|
unpackFamily :: CInt -> Family |
|
packSocketType :: SocketType -> CInt |
