AG_NET(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		     AG_NET(3)

NAME
     AG_Net -- agar network interface

SYNOPSIS
     #include <agar/core.h>

DESCRIPTION
     AG_Net provides a cross-platform interface	to network sockets, DNS	and
     other network-related functions.  Available backends include "bsd",
     "dummy", "winsock1" and "winsock2".  The default backend is selected
     based on present platform capabilities.

NETWORK	ADDRESSES
     AG_NetAddrList * AG_NetResolve(const char *hostname, const	char *port,
     Uint flags)

     AG_NetAddrList * AG_NetGetIfConfig(void)

     AG_NetAddrList * AG_NetAddrListNew(void)

     void AG_NetAddrListClear(AG_NetAddrList *list)

     void AG_NetAddrListFree(AG_NetAddrList *list)

     AG_NetAddr	* AG_NetAddrNew(void)

     AG_NetAddr	* AG_NetAddrDup(const AG_NetAddr *a)

     int AG_NetAddrCompare(const AG_NetAddr *a,	const AG_NetAddr *b)

     int AG_NetAddrIsAny(const AG_NetAddr *a)

     const char	* AG_NetAddrNumerical(AG_NetAddr *a)

     void AG_NetAddrFree(AG_NetAddr *a)

     The AG_NetResolve() function looks	up a specified host hostname and port
     number (or	service	name) port.  If	the lookup is successful, the results
     are returned as a list of addresses.  Optional flags include:

     AG_NET_ADDRCONFIG	   Use IPv6 based on host interface status.
     AG_NET_NUMERIC_HOST   Require a hostname in numerical notation.
     AG_NET_NUMERIC_PORT   Require a numerical port number.

     The AG_NetGetIfConfig() function returns the list of addresses associated
     with local	network	interfaces (i.e., the list of addresses	that would be
     displayed by ifconfig(8) under Unix).  If the call	is unsupported on the
     present platform, the function returns NULL.

     The AG_NetAddrList	structure stores a list	of network addresses.  The
     AG_NetAddrListNew() function returns an empty, newly allocated list,
     AG_NetAddrListClear() removes all addresses from the given	list and
     AG_NetAddrListFree() releases all resources allocated by the list.

     The AG_NetAddr structure stores a single network address and a port num-
     ber.  The AG_NetAddrNew() function	returns	a newly-allocated address.
     AG_NetAddrDup() returns a newly-allocated duplicate of a.

     AG_NetAddrCompare() evaluates to 0	if a and b represent the same address
     and port, otherwise a non-zero value (suitable for	sorting) is returned.
     AG_NetAddrIsAny() returns 1 if the	address	represents "*" (any address).

     The AG_NetAddrNumerical() function	returns	a pointer to an	(internally-
     managed) string buffer containing a numerical representation of the ad-
     dress.  The buffer	will remains valid until the AG_NetAddr	is freed.

     The AG_NetAddrFree() routine destroys all resources allocated by a.

SOCKETS
     AG_NetSocket * AG_NetSocketNew(enum ag_net_addr_family af,	enum
     ag_net_socket_type	type, int proto)

     void AG_NetSocketFree(AG_NetSocket	*sock)

     int AG_NetConnect(AG_NetSocket *sock, const AG_NetAddrList	*host)

     int AG_NetBind(AG_NetSocket *sock,	const AG_NetAddr *addr)

     AG_NetSocket * AG_NetAccept(AG_NetSocket *sock)

     void AG_NetClose(AG_NetSocket *sock)

     int AG_NetRead(AG_NetSocket *sock,	void *data, size_t size, size_t
     *nRead)

     int AG_NetWrite(AG_NetSocket *sock, const void *data, size_t size,	size_t
     *nWrote)

     int AG_NetGetOption(AG_NetSocket *sock, enum ag_net_socket_option opt,
     void *data)

     int AG_NetGetOptionInt(AG_NetSocket *sock,	enum ag_net_socket_option opt,
     int *data)

     int AG_NetSetOption(AG_NetSocket *sock, enum ag_net_socket_option opt,
     const void	*data)

     int AG_NetSetOptionInt(AG_NetSocket *sock,	enum ag_net_socket_option opt,
     int data)

     The AG_NetSocketNew() function creates an endpoint	for communication, re-
     turning a socket descriptor on success.  The af argument indicates	the
     address family of the socket:

     AG_NET_AF_NONE   Undefined	address	family.
     AG_NET_LOCAL     Host-local protocols (e.g., Unix sockets)
     AG_NET_INET4     Internet version 4 address.
     AG_NET_INET6     Internet version 6 address.

     The proto argument	is an optional protocol	number (see protocols(5)).
     The type argument may be set to:

     AG_NET_SOCKET_NONE	  Undefined
     AG_NET_STREAM	  Stream socket
     AG_NET_DGRAM	  Datagram socket
     AG_NET_RAW		  Raw-protocol interface
     AG_NET_RDM		  Reliably-delivered packet
     AG_NET_SEQPACKET	  Sequenced packet stream

     The AG_NetSocketFree() function closes a socket, releasing	all associated
     resources.

     The AG_NetConnect() call establishes a connection between sock and	a re-
     mote host (specified as a list containing one or more addresses to	try).

     The AG_NetBind() call assigns a local protocol address addr, to the
     socket sock.  The AG_NetAccept() function should be called	on a socket
     that was previously assigned a local address.  From the queue of pending
     connections, AG_NetAccept() extracts the first connection request and re-
     turns a newly-created socket for the connection.

     The AG_NetClose() routine closes the connection on	sock (without destroy-
     ing the socket).

     The AG_NetRead() and AG_NetWrite()	routines move data between the socket
     and a specified buffer data of size bytes.	 On success, 0 is returned,
     and the number of bytes successfully read/written is returned in the
     nRead and nWrite argument (which can be NULL).

     The AG_NetGetOption() function returns the	current	value of the socket
     option opt	into data.  AG_NetSetOption() sets the specified socket	option
     to	the contents of	data.  The AG_NetGetOptionInt()	and
     AG_NetSetOptionInt() shorthands accept integer arguments for int socket
     options.  Available socket	options	are as follows (unless indicated oth-
     erwise, int is the	data type).

     AG_NET_DEBUG	   Enable debugging on the socket
     AG_NET_REUSEADDR	   Reuse local addresses
     AG_NET_KEEPALIVE	   Keep	connections alive
     AG_NET_DONTROUTE	   Routing bypass for outgoing messages
     AG_NET_BROADCAST	   Transmit broadcast messages
     AG_NET_BINDANY	   Allow binding to any	address
     AG_NET_SNDBUF	   Set buffer size for sending
     AG_NET_RCVBUF	   Set buffer size for receiving
     AG_NET_SNDLOWAT	   Set low watermark for sending
     AG_NET_RCVLOWAT	   Set low watermark for receiving
     AG_NET_BACKLOG	   Limit on incoming connection	backlog
     AG_NET_OOBINLINE	   Receive out-of-band data inline (non-portable)
     AG_NET_REUSEPORT	   Allow address/port reuse (non-portable)
     AG_NET_TIMESTAMP	   Receive datagram timestamps (non-portable)
     AG_NET_NOSIGPIPE	   Disable generation of SIGPIPE (non-portable)
     AG_NET_LINGER	   Linger on AG_NetClose() up to n seconds if data
			   present (non-portable)
     AG_NET_ACCEPTFILTER   Kernel-based	accept filter.	The argument is	a
			   AG_NetAcceptFilter structure	(non-portable)

     The argument to AG_NET_ACCEPTFILTER is defined as follows:

     typedef struct ag_net_accept_filter {
	     char name[16];		     /*	Filter module name */
	     char arg[240];		     /*	Argument */
     } AG_NetAcceptFilter;

POLLING	AND SOCKET SETS
     void AG_NetSocketSetInit(AG_NetSocketSet *set)

     void AG_NetSocketSetClear(AG_NetSocketSet *set)

     void AG_NetSocketSetFree(AG_NetSocketSet *set)

     int AG_NetPoll(AG_NetSocketSet *nsInput, AG_NetSocketSet *nsRead,
     AG_NetSocketSet *nsWrite, AG_NetSocketSet *nsException, Uint32 timeout)

     The AG_NetSocketSetInit() function	initializes a new socket set.
     AG_NetSocketSetClear() resets a socket set	to the empty set.
     AG_NetSocketSetFree() releases all	resources allocated by a socket	set.

     The AG_NetPoll() function blocks the execution of the current thread un-
     til an event is reported on one or	more of	the sockets in the nsInput
     set.  Sockets with	data available for reading/writing are returned	into
     the nsRead	and nsWrite sets.  Sockets with	other exceptions (such as
     availability of out-of-band data) are returned into the nsExcept set.  If
     the timeout argument is non-zero, the call	will time out in the specified
     amount of time (given in milliseconds).

STRUCTURE DATA
     For the AG_NetAddr	structure:

     typedef struct ag_net_addr	{
	     enum ag_net_addr_family family;	     /*	Address	family */
	     int port;				     /*	Port number (if	any) */
	     union {
		     struct {
			     char  *path;	     /*	Unix socket path */
		     } local;
		     struct {
			     Uint32 addr;	     /*	IPv4 address */
		     } inet4;
		     struct {
			     Uint8  addr[16];	     /*	IPv6 address */
		     } inet6;
	     } data;
     } AG_NetAddr;

     For the AG_NetSocket structure:

     enum ag_net_addr_family family   Address family
     enum ag_net_socket_type type     Socket type
     int proto			      Socket protocol number
     AG_Mutex lock		      Exclusive	access lock
     AG_NetAddr	*addrLocal	      Bound local address
     AG_NetAddr	*addrRemote	      Connected	remote address
