Member Function Documentation

virtual int KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::capabilities (  )  const [virtual]

Sets our capabilities.

Reimplemented from KNetwork::KSocketDevice.

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::connect ( const KResolverEntry address  )  [virtual]

Overrides connection.

Multicast sockets may not connect.

Reimplemented from KNetwork::KSocketDevice.

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::create ( int  family,
int  type,
int  protocol 
) [virtual]

Overrides the socket creation.

Reimplemented from KNetwork::KSocketDevice.

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::joinGroup ( const KSocketAddress group,
const KNetworkInterface iface 
) [virtual]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Joins a multicast group.

This function also specifies the network interface to be used.

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::joinGroup ( const KSocketAddress group  )  [virtual]

Joins a multicast group.

The group to be joined is identified by the group parameter.

Parameters:
group the multicast group to join
Returns:
true on success

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::leaveGroup ( const KSocketAddress group,
const KNetworkInterface iface 
) [virtual]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Leaves a multicast group.

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::leaveGroup ( const KSocketAddress group  )  [virtual]

Leaves a multicast group.

The group being left is given by its address in the group parameter.

Parameters:
group the group to leave
Returns:
true on successful leaving the group

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::multicastLoop (  )  const [virtual]

Retrieves the flag indicating if sent packets will be echoed back to sender.

virtual KNetworkInterface KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::networkInterface (  )  [virtual]

Retrieves the network interface this socket is associated to.

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::setMulticastLoop ( bool  enable  )  [virtual]

Sets the flag indicating the loopback of packets to the sender.

Parameters:
enable if true, will echo back
Returns:
true if setting the value was successful.

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::setNetworkInterface ( const KNetworkInterface iface  )  [virtual]

Sets the network interface on which this socket should work.

Parameters:
iface the interface to associate with
Returns:
true if setting the value was successful.

virtual bool KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::setTimeToLive ( int  ttl  )  [virtual]

Sets the time-to-live/hop count for outgoing multicast packets.

Parameters:
ttl the hop count, from 0 to 255
Returns:
true if setting the value was successful.

virtual int KNetwork::KMulticastSocketImpl::timeToLive (  )  const [virtual]

Retrieves the time-to-live/hop count value on multicast packets being sent.
