# Sockets
|
|
|
|
On Unix hosts, RETRO provides an optional set of words for using
|
|
network sockets.
|
|
|
|
## Create a Socket
|
|
|
|
To create a new socket, just run:
|
|
|
|
socket:create
|
|
|
|
This will return a socket handle.
|
|
|
|
## Bind To A Port
|
|
|
|
To bind to a port, pass the port number and socket handle
|
|
to `socket:bind`. The port should be a string. This will return
|
|
0 if successful, -1 if not successful, and an error code.
|
|
|
|
'9998 @Sock socket:bind
|
|
|
|
## Configure To Allow Incoming Connections
|
|
|
|
To prepare a socket for incoming connections use socket:listen. This
|
|
will take a backlog count and a socket handle. It returns a flag
|
|
(0 success, -1 failed) and an error code.
|
|
|
|
#3 @Sock socket:listen
|
|
|
|
## Accept Connections
|
|
|
|
To accept connections pass the socket handle to `socket:accept`.
|
|
This returns a new socket for the connection and an error code.
|
|
|
|
@Sock socket:accept
|
|
|
|
## Make A Connection
|
|
|
|
To connect to a server using the socket:
|
|
|
|
'forth.works '70 socket:configure
|
|
@Sock socket:connect
|
|
|
|
`socket:connect` will return a status code and an error code.
|
|
|
|
## Writing To A Socket
|
|
|
|
To write a string to a socket, use `socket:send`. This will
|
|
take a string and a socket handle and will return the number
|
|
of bytes sent and an error code.
|
|
|
|
'test @Sock socket:send
|
|
|
|
## Reading From A Socket
|
|
|
|
To read data from a socket pass an address, a maximum number of
|
|
bytes, and the socket handle to `socket:recv`. This will return
|
|
the number of bytes received and an error code. The bytes will
|
|
be stored in memory starting at the specified address.
|
|
|
|
here #1024 @Sock socket:recv
|
|
|
|
## Close a Socket
|
|
|
|
To close a socket, pass the socket handle to `socket:close`.
|
|
|
|
@Socket socket:close
|
