| <p> |
| Boost.Asio includes classes that implement iostreams on top of sockets. |
| These hide away the complexities associated with endpoint resolution, protocol |
| independence, etc. To create a connection one might simply write: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">iostream</span> <span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"www.boost.org"</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="string">"http"</span><span class="special">);</span> |
| <span class="keyword">if</span> <span class="special">(!</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">)</span> |
| <span class="special">{</span> |
| <span class="comment">// Can't connect. |
| </span><span class="special">}</span> |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| The iostream class can also be used in conjunction with an acceptor to |
| create simple servers. For example: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">io_service</span> <span class="identifier">ios</span><span class="special">;</span> |
| |
| <span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">endpoint</span> <span class="identifier">endpoint</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">v4</span><span class="special">(),</span> <span class="number">80</span><span class="special">);</span> |
| <span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">acceptor</span> <span class="identifier">acceptor</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">ios</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">endpoint</span><span class="special">);</span> |
| |
| <span class="keyword">for</span> <span class="special">(;;)</span> |
| <span class="special">{</span> |
| <span class="identifier">ip</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tcp</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">iostream</span> <span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">;</span> |
| <span class="identifier">acceptor</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">accept</span><span class="special">(*</span><span class="identifier">stream</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">rdbuf</span><span class="special">());</span> |
| <span class="special">...</span> |
