Detailed Description

Internal entity of a packet.

As everything is sent as a packet, all network communication will need to call the functions that populate the packet. Every packet can be at most a limited number bytes set in the constructor. Overflowing this limit will give an assertion when sending (i.e. writing) the packet. Reading past the size of the packet when receiving will return all 0 values and "" in case of the string.

— Points of attention —

• all > 1 byte integral values are written in little endian, unless specified otherwise. Thus, 0x01234567 would be sent as {0x67, 0x45, 0x23, 0x01}.
• all sent strings are of variable length and terminated by a '\0'. Thus, the length of the strings is not sent.
• years that are leap years in the 'days since X' to 'date' calculations: (year % 4 == 0) and ((year % 100 != 0) or (year % 400 == 0))

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Packet() [1/2]

Packet::Packet	(	NetworkSocketHandler *	cs,
		size_t	limit,
		size_t	initial_read_size = EncodedLengthOfPacketSize()
	)

Create a packet that is used to read from a network socket.

Parameters

cs	The socket handler associated with the socket we are reading from.
limit	The maximum size of packets to accept.
initial_read_size	The initial amount of data to transfer from the socket into the packet. This defaults to just the required bytes to determine the packet's size. That default is the wanted for streams such as TCP as you do not want to read data of the next packet yet. For UDP you need to read the whole packet at once otherwise you might loose some the data of the packet, so there you pass the maximum size for the packet you expect from the network.

Definition at line 31 of file packet.cpp.

References buffer, and cs.

Packet() [2/2]

Packet::Packet	(	NetworkSocketHandler *	cs,
		PacketType	type,
		size_t	limit = COMPAT_MTU
	)

Creates a packet to send.

Parameters

cs	The socket handler associated with the socket we are writing to; could be nullptr.
type	The type of the packet to send
limit	The maximum number of bytes the packet may have. Default is COMPAT_MTU. Be careful of compatibility with older clients/servers when changing the limit as it might break things if the other side is not expecting much larger packets than what they support.

Member Function Documentation

CanReadFromPacket()

bool Packet::CanReadFromPacket	(	size_t	bytes_to_read,
		bool	close_connection = false
	)

Is it safe to read from the packet, i.e.

didn't we run over the buffer? In case close_connection is true, the connection will be closed when one would overrun the buffer. When it is false, the connection remains untouched.

Parameters

bytes_to_read	The amount of bytes we want to try to read.
close_connection	Whether to close the connection if one cannot read that amount.

Returns

True if that is safe, otherwise false.

TransferIn()

template<typename A = size_t, typename F , typename S , typename ... Args>

ssize_t Packet::TransferIn ( F  transfer_function, S  source, Args &&...  args  )

inline

Transfer data from the given function into the packet.

It starts writing at the position the last transfer stopped.

Examples of functions that can be used to transfer data into a packet are TCP's recv and UDP's recvfrom functions. They will directly write their data into the packet without an intermediate buffer. Examples of functions that can be used to transfer data from a packet are TCP's send and UDP's sendto functions. They will directly read the data from the packet's buffer without an intermediate buffer. These are functions are special in a sense as even though the packet can send or receive an amount of data, those functions can say they only processed a smaller amount, so special handling is required to keep the position pointers correct. Most of these transfer functions are in the form function(source, buffer, amount, ...), so the template of this function will assume that as the base parameter order.

This will attempt to write all the remaining bytes into the packet. It updates the position based on how many bytes were actually written by the called transfer_function.

Parameters

transfer_function	The function to pass the buffer as second parameter and the amount to read as third parameter. It returns the amount that was read or -1 upon errors.
source	The first parameter of the transfer function.
args	The fourth and further parameters to the transfer function, if any.

Template Parameters

A	The type for the amount to be passed, so it can be cast to the right type.
F	The type of the transfer_function.
S	The type of the source.
Args	The types of the remaining arguments to the function.

Returns

The return value of the transfer_function.
