Function Documentation

EAPI int ecore_ipc_client_data_size_max_get ( Ecore_Ipc_Client cl)

Gets the max data payload size for an Ipc message in bytes.

Parameters
clThe given client.
Returns
The maximum data payload size in bytes on success, -1 on failure.
EAPI void ecore_ipc_client_data_size_max_set ( Ecore_Ipc_Client cl,
int  size 
)

Sets the max data payload size for an Ipc message in bytes.

Parameters
clThe given client.
sizeThe maximum data payload size in bytes.
EAPI void ecore_ipc_client_flush ( Ecore_Ipc_Client cl)

Flushes all pending data to the given client.

Will return when done.

Parameters
clThe given client.

References ecore_con_client_flush().

EAPI const char* ecore_ipc_client_ip_get ( Ecore_Ipc_Client cl)

Gets the IP address of a client that has been connected to.

Parameters
clThe given client.
Returns
A pointer to an internal string that contains the IP address of the connected server in the form "XXX.YYY.ZZZ.AAA" IP notation. This string should not be modified or trusted to stay valid after deletion for the cl object. If no IP is known NULL is returned.

References ecore_con_client_ip_get().

EAPI void ecore_ipc_server_client_limit_set ( Ecore_Ipc_Server svr,
int  client_limit,
char  reject_excess_clients 
)

Sets a limit on the number of clients that can be handled concurrently by the given server, and a policy on what to do if excess clients try to connect.

Beware that if you set this once ecore is already running, you may already have pending CLIENT_ADD events in your event queue. Those clients have already connected and will not be affected by this call. Only clients subsequently trying to connect will be affected.

Parameters
svrThe given server.
client_limitThe maximum number of clients to handle concurrently. -1 means unlimited (default). 0 effectively disables the server.
reject_excess_clientsSet to 1 to automatically disconnect excess clients as soon as they connect if you are already handling client_limit clients. Set to 0 (default) to just hold off on the "accept()" system call until the number of active clients drops. This causes the kernel to queue up to 4096 connections (or your kernel's limit, whichever is lower).

EAPI int ecore_ipc_server_data_size_max_get ( Ecore_Ipc_Server svr)

Gets the max data payload size for an Ipc message in bytes.

Parameters
svrThe given server.
Returns
The maximum data payload in bytes.
EAPI void ecore_ipc_server_data_size_max_set ( Ecore_Ipc_Server svr,
int  size 
)

Sets the max data payload size for an Ipc message in bytes.

Parameters
svrThe given server.
sizeThe maximum data payload size in bytes.
EAPI void ecore_ipc_server_flush ( Ecore_Ipc_Server svr)

Flushes all pending data to the given server.

Will return when done.

Parameters
svrThe given server.

References ecore_con_server_flush().

EAPI const char* ecore_ipc_server_ip_get ( Ecore_Ipc_Server svr)

Gets the IP address of a server that has been connected to.

Parameters
svrThe given server.
Returns
A pointer to an internal string that contains the IP address of the connected server in the form "XXX.YYY.ZZZ.AAA" IP notation. This string should not be modified or trusted to stay valid after deletion for the svr object. If no IP is known NULL is returned.
