Function Documentation

guac_socket* guac_socket_alloc

(

)

Allocates a new, completely blank guac_socket.

This guac_socket will do absolutely nothing when used unless its handlers are defined.

Returns

A newly-allocated guac_socket, or NULL if the guac_socket could not be allocated.

ssize_t guac_socket_flush

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Flushes the write buffer.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket object to flush

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs during flush.

ssize_t guac_socket_flush_base64

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Flushes the base64 buffer, writing padding characters as necessary.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket object to flush

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs during flush.

void guac_socket_free

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Frees the given guac_socket and all associated resources.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket to free.

void guac_socket_instruction_begin

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Marks the beginning of a Guacamole protocol instruction.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket beginning an instruction.

void guac_socket_instruction_end

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Marks the end of a Guacamole protocol instruction.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket ending an instruction.

guac_socket* guac_socket_nest	(	guac_socket *	parent,
		int	index
	)

Allocates and initializes a new guac_socket which writes all data via nest instructions to the given existing, open guac_socket.

Freeing the returned guac_socket has no effect on the underlying, nested guac_socket.

If an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object, NULL is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

parent	The guac_socket this new guac_socket should write nest instructions to.
index	The stream index to use for the written nest instructions.

Returns

A newly allocated guac_socket object associated with the given guac_socket and stream index, or NULL if an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object.

guac_socket* guac_socket_open

(

int

fd

)

Allocates and initializes a new guac_socket object with the given open file descriptor.

The file descriptor will be automatically closed when the allocated guac_socket is freed.

If an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object, NULL is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

fd	An open file descriptor that this guac_socket object should manage.

Returns

A newly allocated guac_socket object associated with the given file descriptor, or NULL if an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object.

ssize_t guac_socket_read	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		void *	buf,
		size_t	count
	)

Attempts to read data from the socket, filling up to the specified number of bytes in the given buffer.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket to read from.
buf	The buffer to read bytes into.
count	The maximum number of bytes to read.

Returns

The number of bytes read, or non-zero if an error occurs while reading.

void guac_socket_require_keep_alive

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Declares that the given socket must automatically send a keep-alive ping to ensure neither side of the socket times out while the socket is open.

This ping will take the form of a "nop" instruction.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket to declare as requiring an automatic keep-alive ping.

int guac_socket_select	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		int	usec_timeout
	)

Waits for input to be available on the given guac_socket object until the specified timeout elapses.

If an error occurs while waiting, a negative value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

If a timeout occurs while waiting, zero value is returned, and guac_error is set to GUAC_STATUS_INPUT_TIMEOUT.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to wait for.
usec_timeout	The maximum number of microseconds to wait for data, or -1 to potentially wait forever.

Returns

Positive on success, zero if the timeout elapsed and no data is available, negative on error.

guac_socket* guac_socket_tee	(	guac_socket *	primary,
		guac_socket *	secondary
	)

Allocates and initializes a new guac_socket which delegates all socket operations to the given primary socket, while simultaneously duplicating all written data to the secondary socket.

Freeing the returned guac_socket will free both primary and secondary sockets.

Return values (error codes) will come only from the primary socket. Locks (like those used by guac_socket_instruction_begin() and guac_socket_instruction_end()) will affect only the primary socket.

If an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object, NULL is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

primary	The primary guac_socket to which all socket operations should be delegated. The error codes returned by socket operations, if any, will always come from this socket. This socket will also be the only socket locked when instructions begin (or unlocked when instructions end).
secondary	The secondary guac_socket to which all data written to the primary guac_socket should be copied. If an error prevents the write from succeeding, that error will be ignored. Only errors from the primary guac_socket will be acknowledged.

Returns

A newly allocated guac_socket object associated with the given primary and secondary sockets, or NULL if an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object.

ssize_t guac_socket_write	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		const void *	buf,
		size_t	count
	)

Writes the given data to the specified socket.

The data written may be buffered until the buffer is flushed automatically or manually.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to write to.
buf	A buffer containing the data to write.
count	The number of bytes to write.

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs while writing.

ssize_t guac_socket_write_base64	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		const void *	buf,
		size_t	count
	)

Writes the given binary data to the given guac_socket object as base64- encoded data.

The data written may be buffered until the buffer is flushed automatically or manually. Beware that, because base64 data is buffered on top of the write buffer already used, a call to guac_socket_flush_base64() MUST be made before non-base64 writes (or writes of an independent block of base64 data) can be made.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to write to.
buf	A buffer containing the data to write.
count	The number of bytes to write.

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs while writing.

ssize_t guac_socket_write_int	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		int64_t	i
	)

Writes the given unsigned int to the given guac_socket object.

The data written may be buffered until the buffer is flushed automatically or manually.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to write to.
i	The unsigned int to write.

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs while writing.

ssize_t guac_socket_write_string	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		const char *	str
	)

Writes the given string to the given guac_socket object.

The data written may be buffered until the buffer is flushed automatically or manually.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to write to.
str	The string to write.

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs while writing.
