PR_OpenTCPSocket
================
Creates a new TCP socket of the specified address family.
Syntax
------
.. code::
#include <prio.h>
PRFileDesc* PR_OpenTCPSocket(PRIntn af);
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
The function has the following parameters:
``af``
The address family of the new TCP socket. Can be ``PR_AF_INET``
(IPv4), ``PR_AF_INET6`` (IPv6), or ``PR_AF_LOCAL`` (Unix domain,
supported on POSIX systems only).
Returns
~~~~~~~
The function returns one of the following values:
- Upon successful completion, a pointer to the :ref:`PRFileDesc` object
created for the newly opened TCP socket.
- If the creation of a new TCP socket failed, ``NULL``.
Description
-----------
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented, reliable
byte-stream protocol of the TCP/IP protocol suite. :ref:`PR_OpenTCPSocket`
creates a new TCP socket of the address family ``af``. A TCP connection
is established by a passive socket (the server) accepting a connection
setup request from an active socket (the client). Typically, the server
binds its socket to a well-known port with :ref:`PR_Bind`, calls
:ref:`PR_Listen` to start listening for connection setup requests, and
calls :ref:`PR_Accept` to accept a connection. The client makes a
connection request using :ref:`PR_Connect`.
After a connection is established, the client and server may send and
receive data between each other. To receive data, one can call
:ref:`PR_Read` or :ref:`PR_Recv`. To send data, one can call :ref:`PR_Write`,
:ref:`PR_Writev`, :ref:`PR_Send`, or :ref:`PR_TransmitFile`. :ref:`PR_AcceptRead` is
suitable for use by the server to accept a new client connection and
read the client's first request in one function call.
A TCP connection can be shut down by :ref:`PR_Shutdown`, and the sockets
should be closed by :ref:`PR_Close`.
