Detailed Description

Application interface for UDP sockets.

UDP server and client applications typically use this order of API calls

Assigning a stream to a UDP socket is not supported. Applications must use NutUdpSendTo() and NutUdpReceiveFrom().

For historical reasons, Nut/Net buffers only the last incoming UDP datagram for a specific port by default. Any previously received datagram will be discarded, if it hasn't been passed to the application in the meantime. Most applications will run fine with this. But it will fail for example, if more than one response is expected on a previously broadcasted request. This problem can be solved by calling NutUdpSetSockOpt() to specify a receive buffer size.

 #include <sys/socket.h>

 ...

 UDPSOCKET *sock;
 u_short udp_bufsiz = 1024;

 ...

 sock = NutUdpCreateSocket(20191);
 NutUdpSetSockOpt(sock, SO_RCVBUF, &udp_bufsiz, sizeof(udp_bufsiz));

Nut/Net supports connectionless UDP sockets only. A Berkley like bind call is not available.

Todo:: There is no similar call like NutTcpError() available for UDP.

UDPSOCKET* NutUdpCreateSocket ( uint16_t port )

Create a UDP socket.

Parameters:

port	Server applications provide the local port number with this parameter. Client applications should pass zero.

Returns:: Socket descriptor of the newly created UDP socket or 0 if there is not enough memory left.

int NutUdpSendTo	(	UDPSOCKET *	sock,
		uint32_t	addr,
		uint16_t	port,
		void *	data,
		int	len
	)

Send a UDP datagram.

Parameters:

sock	Socket descriptor. This pointer must have been retrieved by calling NutUdpCreateSocket().
addr	IP address of the remote host in network byte order.
port	Remote port number in host byte order.
data	Pointer to a buffer containing the data to send.
len	Number of bytes to be sent.

Returns:: 0 on success, -1 otherwise. The specific error code can be retrieved by calling NutUdpError().

		uint32_t *	addr,
		uint16_t *	port,
		void *	data,
		int	size,
		uint32_t	timeout
	)

Receive a UDP datagram.

Parameters:

sock	Socket descriptor. This pointer must have been retrieved by calling NutUdpCreateSocket().
addr	IP address of the remote host in network byte order.
port	Remote port number in host byte order.
data	Pointer to the buffer that receives the data.
size	Size of the buffer that receives the data.
timeout	Maximum number of milliseconds to wait.

Returns:: The number of bytes received, if successful. The return value < 0 indicates an error. The specific error code can be retrieved by calling NutUdpError().

Note:: Timeout is limited to the granularity of the system timer.

Here is the call graph for this function:

int NutUdpDestroySocket ( UDPSOCKET * sock )

Close UDP socket.

The memory occupied by the socket is immediately released after calling this function. The application must not use the socket after this call.

Parameters:

sock	Socket descriptor. This pointer must have been retrieved by calling NutUdpCreateSocket().

Returns:: 0 on success, -1 otherwise.

Here is the call graph for this function:

int NutUdpError	(	UDPSOCKET *	sock,
		uint32_t *	addr,
		uint16_t *	port
	)

Return specific code of the last error and the IP address / port of the host to which the communication failed.

Possible error codes are:

ENOTSOCK: Socket operation on non-socket
EMSGSIZE: Message too long
ENOPROTOOPT: Protocol not available
EOPNOTSUPP: Operation not supported on socket
ENETUNREACH: Network is unreachable
ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused
EHOSTDOWN: Host is down
EHOSTUNREACH: No route to host

Parameters:

sock	Socket descriptor. This pointer must have been retrieved by calling NutUdpCreateSocket().
addr	IP address of the remote host in network byte order.
port	Remote port number in host byte order.

Todo:: Not all error codes are properly set right now. Some socket functions return an error without setting an error code.

Examples:: icmp-udp/icmp-udp.c.
