Version 5.0 The LEDA User Manual

ool sb.failed( ) returns whether a failure has occured.
string sb.get error( ) returns an error message (if available).
void sb.sputEOF( ) signals the end of the transmission to the receiving
socket, so that it does not wait for further data. (This
function is called automatically in the destructor unless
it has been called explicitly by the user. If sb is not
immediately destroyed after the end of the transmission
then you should call sputEOF explicitly, otherwise
the receiving party might incur a timeout error.)
bool sb.has put EOF( ) returns whether EOF has already been sent.
bool sb.has got EOF( ) returns whether EOF has already been received.
leda socket& sb.get socket( )
returns the socket to which sb is attached.
uint32 sb.get outgoing packet size( )
uint32 sb.get incoming packet size( )
bool sb.waits for acknowledge( )
bool sb.sends acknowledge( )
4. Example
returns the (actual) outgoing packet size.
returns the (actual) incoming packet size.
returns whether sb expects an acknowledgement for
outgoing packets.
returns whether sb sends an acknowledgement for incoming
packets.
The following example shows how the usage of sb from the server and from the client side.
In our example the server sends a string, which is received by the client. (Note that it
would also be possible that the client sends and the server receives data.)
In order to add compression to the example simply replace “ostream” by
“encoding ostream” and “istream” by “decoding istream” as indicated in
the comments.
