Unlike the old mechanism of requiring a translated F file, this uses the B program (see the Perl source distribution) and your native C compiler. This means that it has a far more likely chance of getting the numbers right. This includes all of the commonly used pound-defines like AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, etc. In addition, some structure manipulation functions are available: =over =item inet_aton HOSTNAME Takes a string giving the name of a host, and translates that to the 4-byte string (structure). Takes arguments of both the 'rtfm.mit.edu' type and '18.181.0.24'. If the host name cannot be resolved, returns undef. For multi-homed hosts (hosts with more than one address), the first address found is returned. =item inet_ntoa IP_ADDRESS Takes a four byte ip address (as returned by inet_aton()) and translates it into a string of the form 'd.d.d.d' where the 'd's are numbers less than 256 (the normal readable four dotted number notation for internet addresses). =item INADDR_ANY Note: does not return a number, but a packed string. Returns the 4-byte wildcard ip address which specifies any of the hosts ip addresses. (A particular machine can have more than one ip address, each address corresponding to a particular network interface. This wildcard address allows you to bind to all of them simultaneously.) Normally equivalent to inet_aton('0.0.0.0'). =item INADDR_BROADCAST Note: does not return a number, but a packed string. Returns the 4-byte 'this-lan' ip broadcast address. This can be useful for some protocols to solicit information from all servers on the same LAN cable. Normally equivalent to inet_aton('255.255.255.255'). =item INADDR_LOOPBACK Note - does not return a number. Returns the 4-byte loopback address. Normally equivalent to inet_aton('localhost'). =item INADDR_NONE Note - does not return a number. Returns the 4-byte 'invalid' ip address. Normally equivalent to inet_aton('255.255.255.255'). =item sockaddr_in PORT, ADDRESS =item sockaddr_in SOCKADDR_IN In an array context, unpacks its SOCKADDR_IN argument and returns an array consisting of (PORT, ADDRESS). In a scalar context, packs its (PORT, ADDRESS) arguments as a SOCKADDR_IN and returns it. If this is confusing, use pack_sockaddr_in() and unpack_sockaddr_in() explicitly. =item pack_sockaddr_in PORT, IP_ADDRESS Takes two arguments, a port number and a 4 byte IP_ADDRESS (as returned by inet_aton()). Returns the sockaddr_in structure with those arguments packed in with AF_INET filled in. For internet domain sockets, this structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(), connect(), and send(), and is also returned by getpeername(), getsockname() and recv(). =item unpack_sockaddr_in SOCKADDR_IN Takes a sockaddr_in structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_in()) and returns an array of two elements: the port and the 4-byte ip-address. Will croak if the structure does not have AF_INET in the right place. =item sockaddr_un PATHNAME =item sockaddr_un SOCKADDR_UN In an array context, unpacks its SOCKADDR_UN argument and returns an array consisting of (PATHNAME). In a scalar context, packs its PATHNAME arguments as a SOCKADDR_UN and returns it. If this is confusing, use pack_sockaddr_un() and unpack_sockaddr_un() explicitly. These are only supported if your system has EFE. =item pack_sockaddr_un PATH Takes one argument, a pathname. Returns the sockaddr_un structure with that path packed in with AF_UNIX filled in. For unix domain sockets, this structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(), connect(), and send(), and is also returned by getpeername(), getsockname() and recv(). =item unpack_sockaddr_un SOCKADDR_UN Takes a sockaddr_un structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_un()) and returns the pathname. Will croak if the structure does not have AF_UNIX in the right place. =back =cut use Carp; require Exporter; require DynaLoader; @ISA = qw(Exporter DynaLoader); @EXPORT = qw( inet_aton inet_ntoa pack_sockaddr_in unpack_sockaddr_in pack_sockaddr_un unpack_sockaddr_un sockaddr_in sockaddr_un INADDR_ANY INADDR_BROADCAST INADDR_LOOPBACK INADDR_NONE AF_802 AF_APPLETALK AF_CCITT AF_CHAOS AF_DATAKIT AF_DECnet AF_DLI AF_ECMA AF_GOSIP AF_HYLINK AF_IMPLINK AF_INET AF_LAT AF_MAX AF_NBS AF_NIT AF_NS AF_OSI AF_OSINET AF_PUP AF_SNA AF_UNIX AF_UNSPEC AF_X25 MSG_DONTROUTE MSG_MAXIOVLEN MSG_OOB MSG_PEEK PF_802 PF_APPLETALK PF_CCITT PF_CHAOS PF_DATAKIT PF_DECnet PF_DLI PF_ECMA PF_GOSIP PF_HYLINK PF_IMPLINK PF_INET PF_LAT PF_MAX PF_NBS PF_NIT PF_NS PF_OSI PF_OSINET PF_PUP PF_SNA PF_UNIX PF_UNSPEC PF_X25 SOCK_DGRAM SOCK_RAW SOCK_RDM SOCK_SEQPACKET SOCK_STREAM SOL_SOCKET SOMAXCONN SO_ACCEPTCONN SO_BROADCAST SO_DEBUG SO_DONTLINGER SO_DONTROUTE SO_ERROR SO_KEEPALIVE SO_LINGER SO_OOBINLINE SO_RCVBUF SO_RCVLOWAT SO_RCVTIMEO SO_REUSEADDR SO_SNDBUF SO_SNDLOWAT SO_SNDTIMEO SO_TYPE SO_USELOOPBACK ); sub sockaddr_in { if (@_ == 6 && !wantarray) { # perl5.001m compat; use this && die my($af, $port, @quad) = @_; carp "6-ARG sockaddr_in call is deprecated" if $^W; pack_sockaddr_in($port, inet_aton(join('.', @quad))); } elsif (wantarray) { croak "usage: (port,iaddr) = sockaddr_in(sin_sv)" unless @_ == 1; unpack_sockaddr_in(@_); } else { croak "usage: sin_sv = sockaddr_in(port,iaddr))" unless @_ == 2; pack_sockaddr_in(@_); } } sub sockaddr_un { if (wantarray) { croak "usage: (filename) = sockaddr_un(sun_sv)" unless @_ == 1; unpack_sockaddr_un(@_); } else { croak "usage: sun_sv = sockaddr_un(filename)" unless @_ == 1; pack_sockaddr_un(@_); } } sub AUTOLOAD { my($constname); ($constname = $AUTOLOAD) =~ s/.*:://; my $val = constant($constname, @_ ? $_[0] : 0); if ($! != 0) { my ($pack,$file,$line) = caller; croak "Your vendor has not defined Socket macro $constname, used"; } eval "sub $AUTOLOAD { $val }"; goto &$AUTOLOAD; } bootstrap Socket $VERSION; 1;
