UdpSocket (gb.net)

This class allows Gambas programs to communicate using UDP sockets.

It can be used like a server or client, as each data fragment sent or received is identified with its host IP and port.

This class inherits from Stream class, so you can use standard stream methods to read, write and close the socket.

Vlastnosti

Broadcast	Return or set if the UpdSocket will broadcast its packets.
Host	Return or set the IP address the UDP socket will be bound to.
Multicast	This property returns a virtual object that allows to use the UDP socket for doing multicast.
Path	Return or set the udp socket path for local sockets.
Port	Return or set the port number used for binding the UDP socket.
SourceHost	Return the source IP address if the message comes from the internet.
SourcePath	Return the source path if the message comes from a local socket.
SourcePort	Return the source port if the message comes from the internet.
Status	Returns the status of the socket, as a constant of the Net class.
StatusText	Return the status of the socket as a string.
TargetHost	Define the target IP address if the message goes to the internet.
TargetPath	Define the target path if the message goes to a local socket.
TargetPort	Define the target port if the message goes to the internet.
Timeout	Return or set the timeout of the socket, in milliseconds.

Blocking	Returns or sets if the stream is blocking.
ByteOrder	Returns or sets the byte order used to read or write binary data to the stream.
EndOfFile	This property signals whether the last use of LINE INPUT reached the end of file, instead of reading a full line with an end-of-line character.
EndOfLine	Return or set the newline separator used by this stream.
Eof	Return if a stream reached its end.
Handle	Returns the system file descriptor associated with this Stream.
IsTerm	Return if a stream is associated with a terminal.
Lines	Returns a virtual object that allows you to enumerate a stream line by line.
NoShare
NullTerminatedString	Return or set if strings are null-terminated when they are serialized.
Tag	Returns or sets the tag associated with the stream.
Term	Return a virtual object that allows to manage the terminal associated with the stream.

Metoda

Bind	Bind a socket so the object can start sending and receiving data.
Peek	This method is used to peek information from remote host(s).

Begin	Start to buffer data written to the stream, so that everything will be sent when the Send method is called.
Close	Closes the stream.
Drop	Drop the data that has been buffered since the last call to the Begin method.
ReadLine	Read a line of text from the stream, like the LINE INPUT instruction.
Send	Send all the data, in one shot, since the last call to Begin.
Watch	Start or stop watching the stream file descriptor for reading or writing, after it has been opened.

Událost

Error	This event raises when some failed (for instance socket binding failed). Status property will turn to a value lesser than zero, and socket will be automatically closed.
Read	This event raises when some data arrives to the socket from a remote host.
