WS_ATTACH_SERVER_MEM(3) libdill Library Functions WS_ATTACH_SERVER_MEM(3) NAME ws_attach_server_mem - creates WebSocket protocol on the top of underlying socket SYNOPSIS #include <libdill.h> int ws_attach_server_mem( int s, int flags, char* resource, size_t resourcelen, char* host, size_t hostlen, struct ws_storage* mem, int64_t deadline); DESCRIPTION WARNING: This is experimental functionality and the API may change in the future. WebSocket is a message-based protocol defined in RFC 6455. It can be used as a bidirectional communication channel for communication with a web server. This function instantiates WebSocket protocol on top of the underlying bytestream protocol. WebSocket protocol being asymmetric, client and server sides are intialized in different ways. This particular function initializes the client side of the connection. The socket can be either text- (WS_TEXT flag) or binary- (WS_BINARY flag) based. Binary is the default. When sending messages via msend or msendl these will be typed based on the socket type. When receiving messages via mrecv or mrecvl encountering a message that doesn't match the socket type results in EPROTO error. If you want to combine text and binary messages you can do so by using functions such as ws_send and ws_recv. WS_NOHTTP flag can be combined with socket type flags. If set, the proto- col will skip the initial HTTP handshake. In this case resource and host arguments won't be used and can be set to NULL. Skipping HTTP handshake is useful when you want to do the handshake on your own. For example, if you want to implement custom WebSocket extensions or if you want to write a multi-protocol application where initial HTTP hand- shake can be followed by different kinds of protocols (e.g. HTML and Web- Socket). This function allows to avoid one dynamic memory allocation by storing the object in user-supplied memory. Unless you are hyper-optimizing use ws_at- tach_server instead. s: Handle of the underlying socket. It must be a bytestream protocol. flags: Flags. See above. resource: Out parameter. HTTP resource specified by the client. resourcelen: Size of the resource buffer. host: Out parameter. Virtual host specified by the client. hostlen: Size of the host buffer. mem: The structure to store the newly created object in. It must not be deallocated before the object is closed. deadline: A point in time when the operation should time out, in millisec- onds. Use the now function to get your current point in time. 0 means im- mediate timeout, i.e., perform the operation if possible or return without blocking if not. -1 means no deadline, i.e., the call will block forever if the operation cannot be performed. The socket can be cleanly shut down using ws_detach function. This function is not available if libdill is compiled with --disable-sock- ets option. RETURN VALUE In case of success the function returns newly created socket handle. In case of error it returns -1 and sets errno to one of the values below. ERRORS * EBADF: Invalid handle. * ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled. * ECONNRESET: Broken connection. * EINVAL: Invalid argument. * EMFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the process are already open. * ENFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the system are already open. * ENOMEM: Not enough memory. * ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation. * EPROTO: Underlying socket is not a bytestream socket. * ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.
