6.95. kink/socket/UDP

6.95.1. type udp

A `udp` is a socket of a message based protocol.

Currently, UDP on only IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. The following features are not supported:

• Unix domain datagram socket

• Multicast

• IP_PKTINFO and IPV6_PKTINFO on Linux, and corresponding features on other OSes

6.95.1.1. Udp.connect(Remote ...[$config={}])

`connect` sets the remote address to the socket.

Config methods:

• C.on_success($success): default = {}

• C.on_error($error): default = {(:Exc) Exc.raise }

If the address is successfully set, `connect` tail-calls $success with no arg.

If an IO error occurs, `connect` tail-calls $error with an `exception`.

Preconditions

`Remote` must be a `socket_address`, whose protocol family is acceptable by the socket.

$success must be a thunk.

$error must be a function which takes an `exception`.

6.95.1.2. Udp.bind(Local ...[$config={}])

`bind` binds a local address to the socket.

Config methods:

• C.on_success($success): default = {}

• C.on_error($error): default = {(:Exc) Exc.raise }

If the address is successfully bound, `bind` tail-calls $success with no arg.

If an IO error occurs, `bind` tail-calls $error with an `exception`.

Preconditions

`Local` must be a `socket_address`, whose protocol family matches one of the socket.

$success must be a thunk.

$error must be a function which takes an `exception`

6.95.1.3. Udp.close(...[$config={}])

`close` closes the socket.

Config methods:

• C.on_success($success): default = {}

• C.on_error($error): default = {(:Exc) Exc.raise }

If the socket is closed successfully, `close` tail-calls $success with no arg.

If an IO error occurs, `close` tail-calls $error with an `exception`.

Preconditions

$success must be a thunk.

$error must be a function which takes an `exception`

6.95.1.4. Udp.receive(Max_size ...[$config={}])

`receive` method receives a datagram on the socket.

Config methods:

• C.on_success($success): default = VAL.identity

• C.on_error($error): default = {(:Exc) Exc.raise }

`Max_size` is the maximum byte count of the datagram to receive. If the datagram is longer than the specified length, it is shortened to `Max_size`.

`receive` method waits until a datagram is available, or an IO error occurs. If a datagram becomes available, `receive` tail-calls $success with a `datagram`. If an IO error occurs, `receive` tail-calls $error with an `exception`.

Preconditions

`Max_size` must be a non-negative integer `num`.

$success must be a function which takes a `datagram`.

$error must be a function which takes an `exception`.

6.95.1.5. Udp.send(Datagram ...[$config={}])

`send` sends a datagram to the specified destination.

Config methods:

• C.on_success($success): default = {}

• C.on_error($error): default = {(:Exc) Exc.raise }

`send` waits until write buffer is available, or an IO error occurs.

If the datagram is written to the write buffer, `send` tail-calls $success with no arg.

If an IO error occurs, `send` tail-calls $error with an `exception`.

Preconditions

`Datagram` must be a `datagram` value.

The protocol family of the remote address of `Datagram` must be accepted by the socket.

$success must be a thunk.

$error must be a function which takes an `exception`.

6.95.1.6. Udp.input

`input` method returns an `input` of the socket.

Closing the input will close the socket.

6.95.1.7. Udp.output

`output` method returns an `output` of the socket.

Closing the output will close the socket.

6.95.1.8. Udp.local_address(...[$config={}])

`local_address` retrieves a `socket_address` of the local address of the socket.

Config methods:

• C.on_success($success): default = VAL.identity

• C.on_error($error): default = {(:Exc) Exc.raise }

If the local address is available, `local_address` tail-calls $success with the `socket_address`.

If an IO error occurs, `local_address` tail-calls $error with an `exception`.

Preconditions

$success must be a function which takes a `socket_address`.

$error must be a function which takes an `exception`.

6.95.1.9. Udp.remote_address(...[$config={}])

`remote_address` retrieves a `socket_address` of the remote address of the socket.

Config methods:

• C.on_success($success): default = VAL.identity

• C.on_error($error): default = {(:Exc) Exc.raise }

If the remote address is available, `remote_address` tail-calls $success with the `socket_address`.

If an IO error occurs, `remote_address` tail-calls $error with an `exception`.

Preconditions

$success must be a function which takes a `socket_address`.

$error must be a function which takes an `exception`.

6.95.1.10. Udp.so_sndbuf

`so_sndbuf` returns a `ref` of a non-negative integer `num` of SO_SNDBUF option.

6.95.1.11. Udp.so_rcvbuf

`so_rcvbuf` return a `ref` of a non-negative integer `num` SO_RCVBUF option.

6.95.1.12. Udp.so_reuseaddr

`so_reuseaddr` returns a `ref` of a `bool` of SO_REUSEADDR option.

6.95.1.13. Udp.so_broadcast

`so_broadcast` returns a `ref` of a `bool` of SO_BROADCAST option.

6.95.2. UDP.open(...[Protocol_family=PROTOCOL_FAMILY.ipv6 $config={}])

`open` makes a new datagram socket.

Config methods:

• C.on_success($success): default = VAL.identity

• C.on_error($error): default = {(:Exc) Exc.raise }

• C.on_unsupported($unsupported): default = a function which tail-calls $error

If a socket is created, `open` tail-calls $success with the `udp` value.

If an IO error occurs, `open` tail-calls $error with an `exception`.

If `Protocol_family` is not supported by the runtime, `open` tail-calls $unsupported with no arg.

Preconditions

`Protocol_family` must be a `protocol_family` value.

$success must be a function which takes a `udp`.

$error must be a function which takes an `exception`.

$unsupported must be a thunk.

6.95.3. UDP.is?(Val)

`is?` method returns whether `Val` is a `udp` value.
