## Detailed Description

Value:
do { if(val) { \
netconn_set_flags(conn, NETCONN_FLAG_NON_BLOCKING); \

netconn_clear_flags(conn, NETCONN_FLAG_NON_BLOCKING); }} while(0)

#define NETCONN_FLAG_NON_BLOCKING
Definition: api.h:73

Set the blocking status of netconn calls (

| ) |  | ((conn)->recv_bufsize = (recvbufsize))

Set the receive buffer in bytes

## ◆ netconn_set_sendtimeout

#define netconn_set_sendtimeout | ( |  | conn,
|  |  | timeout
| ) |  | ((conn)->send_timeout = (timeout))

Set the send timeout in milliseconds

## ◆ netconn_type

#define netconn_type | ( |  | conn | ) | (conn->type)

Get the type of a netconn (as enum netconn_type).

## Typedef Documentation

## ◆ netconn_callback

typedef void(* netconn_callback) (struct netconn *, enum netconn_evt, u16_t len)

A callback prototype to inform about events for a netconn

## Enumeration Type Documentation

## ◆ netconn_evt

enum netconn_evt

Used to inform the callback function about changes

Event explanation:

In the netconn implementation, there are three ways to block a client:

- accept mbox (sys_arch_mbox_fetch(&conn->acceptmbox, &accept_ptr, 0); in netconn_accept())
- receive mbox (sys_arch_mbox_fetch(&conn->recvmbox, &buf, 0); in netconn_recv_data())
- send queue is full (sys_arch_sem_wait(LWIP_API_MSG_SEM(msg), 0); in lwip_netconn_do_write())

The events have to be seen as events signaling the state of these mboxes/semaphores. For non-blocking connections, you need to know in advance whether a call to a netconn function call would block or not, and these events tell you about that.

RCVPLUS events say: Safe to perform a potentially blocking call call once more. They are counted in sockets - three RCVPLUS events for accept mbox means you are safe to call netconn_accept 3 times without being blocked. Same thing for receive mbox.

RCVMINUS events say: Your call to to a possibly blocking function is "acknowledged". Socket implementation decrements the counter.

For TX, there is no need to count, its merely a flag. SENDPLUS means you may send something. SENDPLUS occurs when enough data was delivered to peer so netconn_send() can be called again. A SENDMINUS event occurs when the next call to a netconn_send() would be blocking.

## ◆ netconn_igmp

enum netconn_igmp

Used for netconn_join_leave_group()

## ◆ netconn_state

enum netconn_state

Current state of the netconn. Non-TCP netconns are always in state NETCONN_NONE!

## Function Documentation

## ◆ netconn_getaddr()

err_t netconn_getaddr | ( | struct netconn * | conn,
|  | ip_addr_t * | addr,
|  | u16_t * | port,
|  | u8_t | local
| ) |  |

Get the local or remote IP address and port of a netconn. For RAW netconns, this returns the protocol instead of a port!

Parameters

  conn | the netconn to query
  addr | a pointer to which to save the IP address
  port | a pointer to which to save the port (or protocol for RAW)
  local | 1 to get the local IP address, 0 to get the remote one

Returns
  ERR_CONN for invalid connections ERR_OK if the information was retrieved

## ◆ netconn_new_with_proto_and_callback()

struct netconn* netconn_new_with_proto_and_callback | ( | enum netconn_type | t,
|  | u8_t | proto,
|  | netconn_callback | callback
| ) |  |

Create a new netconn (of a specific type) that has a callback function. The corresponding pcb is also created.

Parameters

  t | the type of 'connection' to create (

See also
  enum netconn_type)

Parameters

  proto | the IP protocol for RAW IP pcbs
  callback | a function to call on status changes (RX available, TX'ed)

Returns
  a newly allocated struct netconn or NULL on memory error

## ◆ netconn_recv_udp_raw_netbuf()

err_t netconn_recv_udp_raw_netbuf | ( | struct netconn * | conn,
|  | struct netbuf ** | new_buf
| ) |  |

Receive data (in form of a netbuf) from a UDP or RAW netconn

Parameters

  conn | the netconn from which to receive data
  new_buf | pointer where a new netbuf is stored when received data

Returns
  ERR_OK if data has been received, an error code otherwise (timeout, memory error or another error) ERR_ARG if conn is not a UDP/RAW netconn

## ◆ netconn_recv_udp_raw_netbuf_flags()

err_t netconn_recv_udp_raw_netbuf_flags | ( | struct netconn * | conn,
|  | struct netbuf ** | new_buf,
|  | u8_t | apiflags
| ) |  |

Receive data (in form of a netbuf) from a UDP or RAW netconn

Parameters

  conn | the netconn from which to receive data
  new_buf | pointer where a new netbuf is stored when received data
  apiflags | flags that control function behaviour. For now only: NETCONN_DONTBLOCK: only read data that is available now, don't wait for more data

Returns
  ERR_OK if data has been received, an error code otherwise (timeout, memory error or another error) ERR_ARG if conn is not a UDP/RAW netconn

## ◆ netconn_write_vectors_partly()

err_t netconn_write_vectors_partly | ( | struct netconn * | conn,
|  | struct netvector * | vectors,
|  | u16_t | vectorcnt,
|  | u8_t | apiflags,
|  | size_t * | bytes_written
| ) |  |

Send vectorized data atomically over a TCP netconn.

Parameters

  conn | the TCP netconn over which to send data
  vectors | array of vectors containing data to send
  vectorcnt | number of vectors in the array
  apiflags | combination of following flags : NETCONN_COPY: data will be copied into memory belonging to the stack NETCONN_MORE: for TCP connection, PSH flag will be set on last segment sent NETCONN_DONTBLOCK: only write the data if all data can be written at once
  bytes_written | pointer to a location that receives the number of written bytes

Returns
  ERR_OK if data was sent, any other err_t on error
