|
|
|
|
|
|
The QSocketNotifier class provides support for socket callbacks.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<p> This class makes it possible to write asynchronous socket-based
|
|
code in Qt. Using synchronous socket operations blocks the
|
|
program, which is clearly not acceptable for an event-driven GUI
|
|
program.
|
|
<p> Once you have opened a non-blocking socket (whether for TCP, UDP,
|
|
a UNIX-domain socket, or any other protocol family your operating
|
|
system supports), you can create a socket notifier to monitor the
|
|
socket. Then you connect the <a href="#activated">activated</a>() signal to the slot you
|
|
want to be called when a socket event occurs.
|
|
<p> Note for Windows users: the socket passed to QSocketNotifier will
|
|
become non-blocking, even if it was created as a blocking socket.
|
|
<p> There are three types of socket notifiers (read, write and
|
|
exception); you must specify one of these in the constructor.
|
|
<p> The type specifies when the activated() signal is to be emitted:
|
|
<ol type=1>
|
|
<li> QSocketNotifier::Read - There is data to be read (socket read event).
|
|
<li> QSocketNotifier::Write - Data can be written (socket write event).
|
|
<li> QSocketNofifier::Exception - An exception has occurred (socket
|
|
exception event). We recommend against using this.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p> For example, if you need to monitor both reads and writes for the
|
|
same socket you must create two socket notifiers.
|
|
<p> For read notifiers it makes little sense to connect the
|
|
activated() signal to more than one slot because the data can be
|
|
read from the socket only once.
|
|
<p> Also observe that if you do not read all the available data when
|
|
the read notifier fires, it fires again and again.
|
|
<p> For write notifiers, immediately disable the notifier after the
|
|
<a href="#activated">activated</a>() signal has been received and you have sent the data to
|
|
be written on the socket. When you have more data to be written,
|
|
enable it again to get a new activated() signal. The exception is
|
|
if the socket data writing operation (send() or equivalent) fails
|
|
with a "would block" error, which means that some buffer is full
|
|
and you must wait before sending more data. In that case you do
|
|
not need to disable and re-enable the write notifier; it will fire
|
|
again as soon as the system allows more data to be sent.
|
|
<p> The behavior of a write notifier that is left in enabled state
|
|
after having emitting the first activated() signal (and no "would
|
|
block" error has occurred) is undefined. Depending on the
|
|
operating system, it may fire on every pass of the event loop or
|
|
not at all.
|
|
<p> If you need a time-out for your sockets you can use either <a href="qobject.html#startTimer">timer events</a> or the <a href="qtimer.html">QTimer</a> class.
|
|
<p> Socket action is detected in the <a href="qapplication.html#exec">main
|
|
event loop</a> of Qt. The X11 version of Qt has a single UNIX
|
|
select() call that incorporates all socket notifiers and the X
|
|
socket.
|
|
<p> Note that on XFree86 for OS/2, select() works only in the thread
|
|
in which main() is running; you should therefore use that thread
|
|
for GUI operations.

|
</h3>
|
|
Constructs a socket notifier called <em>name</em>, with the parent, <em>parent</em>. It watches <em>socket</em> for <em>type</em> events, and enables it.
|
|
<p> It is generally advisable to explicitly enable or disable the
|
|
socket notifier, especially for write notifiers.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setEnabled">setEnabled</a>() and <a href="#isEnabled">isEnabled</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QSocketNotifier"></a>QSocketNotifier::~QSocketNotifier ()
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Destroys the socket notifier.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="activated"></a>QSocketNotifier::activated ( int socket )<tt> [signal]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This signal is emitted under certain conditions specified by the
|
|
notifier <a href="#type">type</a>():
|
|
<ol type=1>
|
|
<li> QSocketNotifier::Read - There is data to be read (socket read event).
|
|
<li> QSocketNotifier::Write - Data can be written (socket write event).
|
|
<li> QSocketNofifier::Exception - An exception has occurred (socket
|
|
exception event).
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p> The <em>socket</em> argument is the <a href="#socket">socket</a> identifier.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#type">type</a>() and <a href="#socket">socket</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isEnabled"></a>QSocketNotifier::isEnabled () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns TRUE if the notifier is enabled; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setEnabled">setEnabled</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setEnabled"></a>QSocketNotifier::setEnabled ( bool enable )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Enables the notifier if <em>enable</em> is TRUE or disables it if <em>enable</em> is FALSE.
|
|
<p> The notifier is enabled by default.
|
|
<p> If the notifier is enabled, it emits the <a href="#activated">activated</a>() signal
|
|
whenever a socket event corresponding to its <a href="#type">type</a> occurs. If it is disabled, it ignores socket events
|
|
(the same effect as not creating the socket notifier).
|
|
<p> Write notifiers should normally be disabled immediately after the
|
|
activated() signal has been emitted; see discussion of write
|
|
notifiers in the <a href="#details">class description</a> above.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isEnabled">isEnabled</a>() and <a href="#activated">activated</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="socket"></a>QSocketNotifier::socket () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns the socket identifier specified to the constructor.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#type">type</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="qsocketnotifier.html#Type-enum">Type</a> <a name="type"></a>QSocketNotifier::type () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Returns the socket event type specified to the constructor: <a href="#Type-enum">QSocketNotifier::Read</a>, <a href="#Type-enum">QSocketNotifier::Write</a>, or <a href="#Type-enum">QSocketNotifier::Exception</a>.
