Function Documentation

guac_socket* guac_socket_alloc

(

)

Allocates a new, completely blank guac_socket.

This guac_socket will do absolutely nothing when used unless its handlers are defined.

Returns

A newly-allocated guac_socket, or NULL if the guac_socket could not be allocated.

ssize_t guac_socket_flush

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Flushes the write buffer.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket object to flush

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs during flush.

ssize_t guac_socket_flush_base64

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Flushes the base64 buffer, writing padding characters as necessary.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket object to flush

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs during flush.

void guac_socket_free

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Frees the given guac_socket and all associated resources.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket to free.

void guac_socket_instruction_begin

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Marks the beginning of a Guacamole protocol instruction.

If threadsafety is enabled on the socket, other instructions will be blocked from sending until this instruction is complete.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket beginning an instruction.

void guac_socket_instruction_end

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Marks the end of a Guacamole protocol instruction.

If threadsafety is enabled on the socket, other instructions will be allowed to send.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket ending an instruction.

guac_socket* guac_socket_nest	(	guac_socket *	parent,
		int	index
	)

Allocates and initializes a new guac_socket which writes all data via nest instructions to the given existing, open guac_socket.

If an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object, NULL is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

parent	The guac_socket this new guac_socket should write nest instructions to.
index	The stream index to use for the written nest instructions.

Returns

A newly allocated guac_socket object associated with the given guac_socket and stream index, or NULL if an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object.

guac_socket* guac_socket_open

(

int

fd

)

Allocates and initializes a new guac_socket object with the given open file descriptor.

If an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object, NULL is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

fd	An open file descriptor that this guac_socket object should manage.

Returns

A newly allocated guac_socket object associated with the given file descriptor, or NULL if an error occurs while allocating the guac_socket object.

ssize_t guac_socket_read	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		void *	buf,
		size_t	count
	)

Attempts to read data from the socket, filling up to the specified number of bytes in the given buffer.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket to read from.
buf	The buffer to read bytes into.
count	The maximum number of bytes to read.

Returns

The number of bytes read, or non-zero if an error occurs while reading.

void guac_socket_require_keep_alive

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Declares that the given socket must automatically send a keep-alive ping to ensure neither side of the socket times out while the socket is open.

This ping will take the form of a "nop" instruction. Enabling keep-alive automatically enables threadsafety.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket to declare as requiring an automatic keep-alive ping.

void guac_socket_require_threadsafe

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Declares that the given socket must behave in a threadsafe way.

Calling this function on a socket guarantees that the socket will send instructions atomically. Without automatic threadsafe sockets, multiple threads writing to the same socket must ensure that instructions will not potentially overlap.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket to declare as threadsafe.

int guac_socket_select	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		int	usec_timeout
	)

Waits for input to be available on the given guac_socket object until the specified timeout elapses.

If an error occurs while waiting, a negative value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

If a timeout occurs while waiting, zero value is returned, and guac_error is set to GUAC_STATUS_INPUT_TIMEOUT.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to wait for.
usec_timeout	The maximum number of microseconds to wait for data, or -1 to potentially wait forever.

Returns

Positive on success, zero if the timeout elapsed and no data is available, negative on error.

void guac_socket_update_buffer_begin

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Marks the beginning of a socket's buffer modification.

If threadsafety is enabled on the socket, other functions which modify the buffer will be blocked until this modification is complete.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket whose buffer is being updated.

void guac_socket_update_buffer_end

(

guac_socket *

socket

)

Marks the end of a socket's buffer modification.

If threadsafety is enabled on the socket, other functions which modify the buffer will now be allowed to continue.

Parameters

socket

The guac_socket whose buffer is done being updated.

ssize_t guac_socket_write	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		const void *	buf,
		size_t	count
	)

Writes the given data to the specified socket.

The data written is not buffered, and will be sent immediately.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to write to.
buf	A buffer containing the data to write.
count	The number of bytes to write.

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs while writing.

ssize_t guac_socket_write_base64	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		const void *	buf,
		size_t	count
	)

Writes the given binary data to the given guac_socket object as base64- encoded data.

The data written may be buffered until the buffer is flushed automatically or manually. Beware that because base64 data is buffered on top of the write buffer already used, a call to guac_socket_flush_base64() must be made before non-base64 writes (or writes of an independent block of base64 data) can be made.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to write to.
buf	A buffer containing the data to write.
count	The number of bytes to write.

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs while writing.

ssize_t guac_socket_write_int	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		int64_t	i
	)

Writes the given unsigned int to the given guac_socket object.

The data written may be buffered until the buffer is flushed automatically or manually.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to write to.
i	The unsigned int to write.

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs while writing.

ssize_t guac_socket_write_string	(	guac_socket *	socket,
		const char *	str
	)

Writes the given string to the given guac_socket object.

The data written may be buffered until the buffer is flushed automatically or manually. Note that if the string can contain characters used internally by the Guacamole protocol (commas, semicolons, or backslashes) it will need to be escaped.

If an error occurs while writing, a non-zero value is returned, and guac_error is set appropriately.

Parameters

socket	The guac_socket object to write to.
str	The string to write.

Returns

Zero on success, or non-zero if an error occurs while writing.
