Public Static Functions

static inline ServerSocket create_server(AddressFamily const address_family, std::uint16_t const port, std::function<void(ClientSocket)> callback, [[maybe_unused]] Sockets const &key = instance())

Creates a server socket.

Parameters:

• address_family – The address family of the socket (Unspecified, Ipv4, Ipv6).

• port – The port number to bind the socket to (0 to let the operating system choose a socket).

• callback – The callback function to be executed when a client connects.

• key – The Sockets instance to use. Cannot be user-provided.

Returns:

The created ServerSocket object.

static ClientSocket create_client(AddressFamily address_family, std::string const &host, std::uint16_t port, [[maybe_unused]] Sockets const &key = instance())

Creates a client socket.

Parameters:

• address_family – The address family of the socket (Unspecified, Ipv4, Ipv6).

• host – The hostname or IP address of the server to connect to.

• port – The port number of the server to connect to.

• key – The Sockets instance to use. Cannot be user-provided.

Returns:

The created ClientSocket object.
