WS_SEND(3)		   libdill Library Functions		    WS_SEND(3)

NAME
       ws_send - sends a WebSocket message

SYNOPSIS
	      #include <libdill.h>

	      int ws_send(
		  int s,
		  int flags,
		  const	void* buf,
		  size_t len,
		  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 works very	much like msend	except that it allows  message
       type  (text or binary) to be specified explicitly rather	that using the
       type specified at attach	time.

       s: The socket handle.

       flags: Type of message to send.	Either	WS_BINARY  or  WS_TEXT.	  This
       will override the type specified	when attaching the socket.

       buf: Data to send.

       len: Number of bytes to send.

       deadline:  A  point in time when	the operation should time out, in mil-
       liseconds.  Use the now function	to get your current point in time.   0
       means immediate timeout,	i.e., perform the operation if possible	or re-
       turn  without  blocking	if  not.  -1 means no deadline,	i.e., the call
       will block forever if the operation cannot be performed.

       This function is	not available  if  libdill  is	compiled  with	--dis-
       able-sockets option.

RETURN VALUE
       In case of success the function returns 0.  In case of error it returns
       -1 and sets errno to one	of the values below.

ERRORS
        EBADF:	Invalid	handle.

        EBUSY:	The handle is currently	being used by a	different coroutine.

        ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.

        ECONNRESET: Broken connection.

        EINVAL: Invalid argument.

        ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

        EPIPE:	Closed connection.

        ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.

EXAMPLE
	      struct ipaddr addr;
	      ipaddr_remote(&addr, "www.example.org", 80, 0, -1);
	      int s = tcp_connect(&addr, -1);
	      s	= ws_attach_client(s, "/", "www.example.org", WS_TEXT, -1);
	      ws_send(s, WS_TEXT, "Hello, world!", 13, -1);
	      int flags;
	      char buf[256];
	      ssize_t sz = ws_recv(s, &flags, buf, sizeof(buf),	-1);
	      assert(flags & WS_TEXT);
	      s	= ws_detach(s, -1);
	      tcp_close(s, -1);
