Contents

Description

Support for defining custom transport mechanisms. Most users will not need to care about the types defined in this module.

Synopsis

Transports

class Transport t where Source #

A Transport can exchange bytes with a remote peer.

Associated Types

data TransportOptions t :: * Source #

Additional options that this transport type may use when establishing a connection.

Methods

transportDefaultOptions :: TransportOptions t Source #

Default values for this transport's options.

transportPut :: t -> ByteString -> IO () Source #

Send a ByteString over the transport.

Throws a TransportError if an error occurs.

transportGet :: t -> Int -> IO ByteString Source #

Receive a ByteString of the given size from the transport. The transport should block until sufficient bytes are available, and only return fewer than the requested amount if there will not be any more data.

Throws a TransportError if an error occurs.

transportClose :: t -> IO () Source #

Close an open transport, and release any associated resources or handles.

class Transport t => TransportOpen t where Source #

A Transport which can open a connection to a remote peer.

Methods

transportOpen :: TransportOptions t -> Address -> IO t Source #

Open a connection to the given address, using the given options.

Throws a TransportError if the connection could not be established.

class Transport t => TransportListen t where Source #

A Transport which can listen for and accept connections from remote peers.

Associated Types

data TransportListener t :: * Source #

Used for transports that listen on a port or address.

Methods

transportListen :: TransportOptions t -> Address -> IO (TransportListener t) Source #

Begin listening for connections on the given address, using the given options.

Throws a TransportError if it's not possible to listen at that address (for example, if the port is already in use).

transportAccept :: TransportListener t -> IO t Source #

Accept a new connection.

Throws a TransportError if some error happens before the transport is ready to exchange bytes.

transportListenerClose :: TransportListener t -> IO () Source #

Close an open listener.

transportListenerAddress :: TransportListener t -> Address Source #

Get the address to use to connect to a listener.

transportListenerUUID :: TransportListener t -> UUID Source #

Get the UUID allocated to this transport listener.

See randomUUID.

Transport errors

Socket transport

data SocketTransport Source #

Supports connecting over Unix or TCP sockets.

Unix sockets are similar to pipes, but exist as special files in the filesystem. On Linux, abstract sockets have a path-like address, but do not actually have entries in the filesystem.

TCP sockets may use either IPv4 or IPv6.

socketTransportCredentials :: SocketTransport -> IO (Maybe CUInt, Maybe CUInt, Maybe CUInt) Source #

Returns the processID, userID, and groupID of the socket's peer.

See getPeerCredential.
