Detailed Description

A zeroconf communicator.

When Collage is compiled with Servus support (COLLAGE_USE_SERVUS), it uses the ZeroConf service "_collage._tcp" to announce the presence of a listening LocalNode using the zeroconf protocol, unless the LocalNode has no listening connections. This class may be used to add additional key/value pairs to this service to announce application-specific data, and to retrieve a snapshot of all key/value pairs of all discovered nodes on the network. Internal keys start with 'co_', this prefix should not be used by applications. Please refer to the documentation of servus::Servus::set() for details.

When Collage is compiled without Servus support, this class implements dummy functionality.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CO_API co::Zeroconf::Zeroconf

(

const Zeroconf &

from

CO_API co::Zeroconf::~Zeroconf

(

)

Destruct this zeroconf communicator.

Member Function Documentation

CO_API bool co::Zeroconf::containsKey	(	const std::string &	instance,
		const std::string &	key
	)		const

Returns

true if the given key was discovered.

Version

1.0

CO_API const std::string& co::Zeroconf::get	(	const std::string &	instance,
		const std::string &	key
	)		const

Returns

the value of the given key on the given instance.

Version

1.0

CO_API Strings co::Zeroconf::getInstances

(

)

const

Returns

all instances found at the time of creation.

Version

1.0

CO_API Strings co::Zeroconf::getKeys

(

const std::string &

instance

)

const

Returns

all keys discovered on the given instance.

Version

1.0

CO_API Zeroconf& co::Zeroconf::operator=

(

const Zeroconf &

rhs

)

Assign the data from another zeroconf communicator.

Version

1.0

CO_API void co::Zeroconf::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.
