Detailed Description

Simple wrapper for ZeroConf key/value pairs.

The servus class allows simple announcement and discovery of key/value pairs using ZeroConf networking. The same instance can be used to announce and/or to browse a ZeroConf service. If the Lunchbox library is compiled without zeroconf support (LUNCHBOX_USE_DNSSD is not set), this class does not do anything useful.

Member Function Documentation

bool lunchbox::Servus::announce	(	const unsigned short	port,
		const std::string &	instance
	)

Start announcing the registered key/value pairs.

Parameters:

port	the service IP port in host byte order.
instance	a host-unique instance name, hostname is used if empty.

Version:

0.9

bool lunchbox::Servus::containsKey	(	const std::string &	instance,
		const std::string &	key
	)		const

Returns:

true if the given key was discovered.

Version:

0.9

Strings lunchbox::Servus::discover	(	const Interface	interface,
		const unsigned	browseTime
	)

Discover all announced key/value pairs.

Parameters:

interface	the scope of the discovery
browseTime	the browse time, in millisecond, for discovery.

Returns:

all instance names found during discovery.

Version:

0.9

const std::string& lunchbox::Servus::get	(	const std::string &	instance,
		const std::string &	key
	)		const

Returns:

the value of the given key and instance.

Version:

0.9

Strings lunchbox::Servus::getInstances

(

)

const

Returns:

all instances found during the last discovery.

Version:

0.9

Strings lunchbox::Servus::getKeys

(

const std::string &

instance

)

const

Returns:

all keys discovered on the given instance.

Version:

0.9

bool lunchbox::Servus::isAnnounced

(

)

const

Returns:

true if the local data is announced.

Version:

0.9

void lunchbox::Servus::set	(	const std::string &	key,
		const std::string &	value
	)

Set a key/value pair to be announced.

Keys should be at most eight characters, and values are truncated to 255 characters. The total length of all keys and values cannot exceed 65535 characters. Setting a value on an announced service causes an update which needs some time to propagate after this function returns, that is, calling discover() immediately afterwards will very likely not contain the new key/value pair.

Version:

0.9

void lunchbox::Servus::withdraw

(

)

Stop announcing the registered key/value pairs.

Version:

0.9
