Detailed Description

Proxy node representing a remote LocalNode.

A node represents a separate entity in a peer-to-peer network, typically a process on another machine. It should have at least one Connection through which is reachable. A Node provides the basic communication facilities through message passing.

Definition at line 42 of file node.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CO_API co::Node::Node ( const uint32_t type = co::NODETYPE_NODE )

explicit

Construct a new node proxy.

Parameters

type	the type of the node, used during connect().

Version: 1.0

virtual CO_API co::Node::~Node ( )

protectedvirtual

Destruct this node.

Version: 1.0

Member Function Documentation

CO_API void co::Node::addConnectionDescription ( ConnectionDescriptionPtr cd )

Add a new description how this node can be reached.

The node has to be closed.

Parameters

cd	the connection description.

Version: 1.0

CO_API ConnectionPtr co::Node::getConnection ( const bool multicast = false )

Get an active connection to this node.

Parameters

multicast if true, prefer a multicast connection.

Returns: an active connection to this node.

Version: 1.0

CO_API ConnectionDescriptions co::Node::getConnectionDescriptions ( ) const

Returns: the connection descriptions.

Version: 1.0

ConnectionPtr co::Node::getMulticast ( )

protected

Activate and return a multicast connection.

Multicast connections are activated lazily on first use, since they trigger the creation of the remote local node proxies on all members of the multicast group.

Returns: the first usable multicast connection to this node, or 0.

Version: 1.0

CO_API const NodeID& co::Node::getNodeID ( ) const

Get the node's unique identifier.

In rare cases (two nodes initiate a two-sided LocalNode::connect()) to each other, two node instances with the same identifier might exist temporarily during the connection handshake.

Returns: the node's unique identifier.

Version: 1.0

CO_API uint32_t co::Node::getType ( ) const

Returns: the type of the node.

Version: 1.0

CO_API bool co::Node::isClosed ( ) const

Returns: true if then node is not active.

Version: 1.0

CO_API bool co::Node::isClosing ( ) const

Returns: true if the node is about to become inactive.

Version: 1.0

CO_API bool co::Node::isConnected ( ) const

Returns: true if the remote node is reachable.

Version: 1.0

CO_API bool co::Node::isListening ( ) const

Returns: true if the local node is reachable.

Version: 1.0

Referenced by isLocal().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool co::Node::isLocal ( ) const

inline

Returns: true if the node is local (listening).

Version: 1.0

Definition at line 92 of file node.h.

References isListening().

Here is the call graph for this function:

CO_API bool co::Node::isReachable ( ) const

Returns: true if the node can send/receive messages.

Version: 1.0

CO_API bool co::Node::removeConnectionDescription ( ConnectionDescriptionPtr cd )

Removes a connection description.

The node has to be closed.

Parameters

cd	the connection description.

Returns: true if the connection description was removed, false otherwise.

Version: 1.0

CO_API OCommand co::Node::send	(	const uint32_t	cmd,
		const bool	multicast = `false`
	)

Send a command with optional data to the node.

The returned command can be used to pass additional data. The data will be send after the command object is destroyed, aka when it is running out of scope. Thread safe.

Parameters

cmd	the node command to execute.
multicast	prefer multicast connection for sending.

Returns: the command object to append additional data.

Version: 1.0

CO_API CustomOCommand co::Node::send	(	const uint128_t &	commandID,
		const bool	multicast = `false`
	)

Send a custom command with optional data to the node.

The command handler for this command being send is registered with the remote LocalNode::registerCommandHandler().

The returned command can be used to pass additional data. The data will be send after the command object is destroyed, aka when it is running out of scope. Thread safe.

Parameters

commandID	the ID of the registered custom command.
multicast	prefer multicast connection for sending.

Returns: the command object to append additional data.

Version: 1.0
