guint default-port Read / Write / Construct Only
GProxyResolver * proxy-resolver Read / Write / Construct
gchar * uri Read / Write / Construct Only

Object Hierarchy

    GInterface
    ╰── GSocketConnectable
    GObject
    ╰── GSocketAddressEnumerator
        ╰── GProxyAddressEnumerator

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.

Since: 2.48


g_socket_address_enumerator_next ()

GSocketAddress *
g_socket_address_enumerator_next (GSocketAddressEnumerator *enumerator,
                                  GCancellable *cancellable,
                                  GError **error);

Retrieves the next GSocketAddress from enumerator . Note that this may block for some amount of time. (Eg, a GNetworkAddress may need to do a DNS lookup before it can return an address.) Use g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async() if you need to avoid blocking.

If enumerator is expected to yield addresses, but for some reason is unable to (eg, because of a DNS error), then the first call to g_socket_address_enumerator_next() will return an appropriate error in *error . However, if the first call to g_socket_address_enumerator_next() succeeds, then any further internal errors (other than cancellable being triggered) will be ignored.

Parameters

enumerator

a GSocketAddressEnumerator

 

cancellable

optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore.

[allow-none]

error

a GError.

 

Returns

a GSocketAddress (owned by the caller), or NULL on error (in which case *error will be set) or if there are no more addresses.

g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async ()

void
g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async
                               (GSocketAddressEnumerator *enumerator,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously retrieves the next GSocketAddress from enumerator and then calls callback , which must call g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish() to get the result.

Parameters

enumerator

a GSocketAddressEnumerator

 

cancellable

optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore.

[allow-none]

callback

a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied.

[scope async]

user_data

the data to pass to callback function.

[closure]

g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish ()

GSocketAddress *
g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish
                               (GSocketAddressEnumerator *enumerator,
                                GAsyncResult *result,
                                GError **error);

Retrieves the result of a completed call to g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async(). See g_socket_address_enumerator_next() for more information about error handling.

Parameters

enumerator

a GSocketAddressEnumerator

 

result

a GAsyncResult

 

error

a GError

 

Returns

a GSocketAddress (owned by the caller), or NULL on error (in which case *error will be set) or if there are no more addresses.

};

Provides an interface for returning a GSocketAddressEnumerator and GProxyAddressEnumerator

Members

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)

 

GSocketAddressEnumerator

typedef struct _GSocketAddressEnumerator GSocketAddressEnumerator;

Enumerator type for objects that contain or generate GSocketAddress<!-- -->es.


GProxyAddressEnumerator

typedef struct _GProxyAddressEnumerator GProxyAddressEnumerator;

A subclass of GSocketAddressEnumerator that takes another address enumerator and wraps its results in GProxyAddress<!-- -->es as directed by the default GProxyResolver.
