void CommunicatingSocket::connect	(	const string &	foreignAddress,
		unsigned short	foreignPort
	)			throw (SocketException)

Attempt to establish a socket connection with the given foreign address and port

Parameters:

	foreignAddress	foreign address (IP address or name)
	foreignPort	foreign port

Returns:

true if connection successfully established

Exceptions:

SocketException

thrown if unable to establish connection

void CommunicatingSocket::send	(	const void *	buffer,
		int	bufferLen
	)			throw (SocketException)

Write the given buffer to this socket. Call connect() before calling send()

Parameters:

	buffer	buffer to be written
	bufferLen	number of bytes from buffer to be written

Returns:

true if the send is successful

Exceptions:

SocketException

thrown if unable to send data

int CommunicatingSocket::recv	(	void *	buffer,
		int	bufferLen
	)			throw (SocketException)

Read into the given buffer up to bufferLen bytes data from this socket. Call connect() before calling recv()

Parameters:

	buffer	buffer to receive the data
	bufferLen	maximum number of bytes to read into buffer

Returns:

number of bytes read, 0 for EOF, and -1 for error

Exceptions:

SocketException

thrown if unable to receive data

string CommunicatingSocket::getForeignAddress

(

)

throw (SocketException)

Get the foreign address. Call connect() before calling recv()

Returns:

foreign address

Exceptions:

SocketException

thrown if unable to fetch foreign address

unsigned short CommunicatingSocket::getForeignPort

(

)

throw (SocketException)

Get the foreign port. Call connect() before calling recv()

Returns:

foreign port

Exceptions:

SocketException

thrown if unable to fetch foreign port
