Detailed Description

Very simple wrapper around POSIX sockets.

Since ROOT's TSocket is not fit to be used in TFileAccessTracer's destructor (as some ROOT infrastructure may not be available by the time the destructor is called), we need our own simple implementation instead.

Most of the implementation is simply a copy of the code from TUnixSystem. Slightly simplified in some cases where we don't need the flexibility of the ROOT implementation.

Member Function Documentation

close()

StatusCode xAOD::TSocket::close

(

)

Close the current connection.

Definition at line 94 of file TSocket.cxx.

                             {
 
      // Check if anything needs to be done:
      if( ! isConnected() ) {
         return StatusCode::RECOVERABLE;
      }
 
      // Close the socket:
      if( ::close( m_socket ) != 0 ) {
         return StatusCode::FAILURE;
      }
 
      // Return gracefully:
      m_socket = -1;
      return StatusCode::SUCCESS;
   }

connect()

StatusCode xAOD::TSocket::connect	(	const TInetAddress &	address,
		int	port )

Function connecting to the specified address.

It turns out that translating a string address name into an integer address that the connect(...) function understands, is no easy feat.

So instead we leave that up to ROOT. This translation just needs to be done "early enough" in the job when ROOT can still do it.

Parameters

address	The address to send the data to
port	The port number to connect to #returns The usual return codes...

      // If the address is invalid, give up now:
      if( ! address.IsValid() ) {
         return StatusCode::FAILURE;
      }
 
      // If not, translate it to a network address:
      const UInt_t adr = htonl( address.GetAddress() );
 
      // "Translate" the port number:
      short sport = 0;
      struct servent sp_buf;
      struct servent *sp;
      char buf[1024];  // needs to be large enough for all strings in servent

isConnected()

bool xAOD::TSocket::isConnected

(

)

const

Check if the socket is connected to some address at the moment.

operator=()

TSocket & xAOD::TSocket::operator= ( const TSocket & )

delete

send()

StatusCode xAOD::TSocket::send

(

const TString &

payload

)

Function sending a message to the connected address.

This function is custom made for our use case.

It sends HTML style information to the connected server.

Parameters

payload

The HTML style payload to send to the server

Returns

The usual return codes...
