Class java.net.SocketImpl 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----java.net.SocketImpl
public class SocketImpl
extends Object
implements SocketOptions
The abstract class SocketImpl is a common superclass of all classes that actually implement sockets. It is used to create both client and server sockets.

A "plain" socket implements these methods exactly as described, without attempting to go through a firewall or proxy.

Variable Index

o address
The IP address of the remote end of this socket.
o fd
The file descriptor object for this socket.
o localport
The local port number to which this socket is connected.
o port
The port number on the remote host to which this socket is connected.

Constructor Index

o SocketImpl()

Method Index

o accept(SocketImpl)
Accepts a connection.
o available()
Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.
o bind(InetAddress, int)
Binds this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.
o close()
Closes this socket.
o connect(InetAddress, int)
Connects this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.
o connect(String, int)
Connects this socket to the specified port on the named host.
o create(boolean)
Creates either a stream or a datagram socket.
o getFileDescriptor()
Returns the value of this socket's fd field.
o getInetAddress()
Returns the value of this socket's address field.
o getInputStream()
Returns an input stream for this socket.
o getLocalPort()
Returns the value of this socket's localport field.
o getOption(int)
Fetch the value of an option.
o getOutputStream()
Returns an output stream for this socket.
o getPort()
Returns the value of this socket's port field.
o listen(int)
Sets the maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to connect) to the count argument.
o setOption(int, Object)
Enable/disable the option specified by optID.
o toString()
Returns the address and port of this socket as a String.

Variables

Methods

o create 
    method create(stream=boolean)  Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Creates either a stream or a datagram socket.

Parameters:
stream - if true, create a stream socket; otherwise, create a datagram socket.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs while creating the socket.
o connect 
    method connect(host=String, -
                   port=int)  Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Connects this socket to the specified port on the named host.

Parameters:
host - the name of the remote host.
port - the port number.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs when connecting to the remote host.
o connect 
    method connect(address=InetAddress, -
                   port=int)  Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Connects this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.

Parameters:
address - the IP address of the remote host.
port - the port number.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs when attempting a connection.
o bind 
    method bind(host=InetAddress, -
                port=int)  Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Binds this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.

Parameters:
host - the IP address of the remote host.
port - the port number.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs when binding this socket.
o listen 
    method listen(backlog=int)  Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Sets the maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to connect) to the count argument. If a connection indication arrives when the queue is full, the connection is refused.

Parameters:
backlog - the maximum length of the queue.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs when creating the queue.
o accept 
    method accept(s=SocketImpl)  Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Accepts a connection.

Parameters:
s - the accepted connection.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs when accepting the connection.
o getInputStream 
    method getInputStream() returns InputStream Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Returns an input stream for this socket.

Returns:
a stream for reading from this socket.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs when creating the input stream.
o getOutputStream 
    method getOutputStream() returns OutputStream Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Returns an output stream for this socket.

Returns:
an output stream for writing to this socket.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs when creating the output stream.
o available 
    method available() returns int Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.

Returns:
the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs when determining the number of bytes available.
o close 
    method close()  Inheritable abstract    Signals IOException
Closes this socket.

Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs when closing this socket.
o getFileDescriptor 
    method getFileDescriptor() returns FileDescriptor Inheritable
Returns the value of this socket's fd field.

Returns:
the value of this socket's fd field.
See Also:
fd
