Constructor & Destructor Documentation

connection::connection (    )

Default constructor.

Member Function Documentation

bool connection::AddIncoming (  int    fd, char *    targethost, int    sourceport )

Add an incoming connection to the connection pool. (reserved for core use)

bool connection::BeginLink (  char *    targethost, int    port, char *    password, char *    servername, int    myport )

Begin an outbound link to another ircd at targethost.

bool connection::CreateListener (  char *    host, int    p )

Create a listening socket on 'host' using port number 'p'.

ircd_connector* connection::FindHost (  std::string    host )

Find the ircd_connector oject related to a certain servername given in 'host'.

long connection::GenKey (    )

This function is deprecated and may be removed in a later alpha/beta.

bool connection::MeshCookie (  char *    targethost, int    port, long    cookie, char *    servername )

Begin an outbound mesh link to another ircd on a network you are already an authenticated member of.

bool connection::RecvPacket (  std::deque< std::string > &    messages, char *    host )

Returns the next available packet and returns true if data is available. Writes the servername the data came from to 'host'. If no data is available this function returns false. This function will automatically close broken links and reroute pathways, generating split messages on the network.

bool connection::SendPacket (  char *    message, const char *    host )

Send a message to a server by name, if the server is unavailable directly route the packet via another server If the server still cannot be reached after attempting to route the message remotely, returns false.

void connection::TerminateLink (  char *    targethost )

Terminate a link to 'targethost' by calling the ircd_connector::CloseConnection method.
