Function Documentation

coap_io_process()

int coap_io_process	(	coap_context_t *	ctx,
		uint32_t	timeout_ms
	)

The main I/O processing function.

All pending network I/O is completed, and then optionally waits for the next input packet.

This internally calls coap_io_prepare_io(), then select() for the appropriate sockets, updates COAP_SOCKET_CAN_xxx where appropriate and then calls coap_io_do_io() before returning with the time spent in the function.

Alternatively, if libcoap is compiled with epoll support, this internally calls coap_io_prepare_epoll(), then epoll_wait() for waiting for any file descriptors that have (internally) been set up with epoll_ctl() and finally coap_io_do_epoll() before returning with the time spent in the function.

Parameters

ctx

The CoAP context

timeout_ms

Minimum number of milliseconds to wait for new packets before returning after doing any processing. If COAP_IO_WAIT, the call will block until the next internal action (e.g. packet retransmit) if any, or block until the next packet is received whichever is the sooner and do the necessary processing. If COAP_IO_NO_WAIT, the function will return immediately after processing without waiting for any new input packets to arrive.

Returns

Number of milliseconds spent in function or -1 if there was an error

coap_io_process_with_fds()

int coap_io_process_with_fds	(	coap_context_t *	ctx,
		uint32_t	timeout_ms,
		int	nfds,
		fd_set *	readfds,
		fd_set *	writefds,
		fd_set *	exceptfds
	)

The main message processing loop with additional fds for internal select.

Parameters

ctx	The CoAP context
timeout_ms	Minimum number of milliseconds to wait for new packets before returning after doing any processing. If COAP_IO_WAIT, the call will block until the next internal action (e.g. packet retransmit) if any, or block until the next packet is received whichever is the sooner and do the necessary processing. If COAP_IO_NO_WAIT, the function will return immediately after processing without waiting for any new input packets to arrive.
nfds	The maximum FD set in readfds, writefds or exceptfds plus one,
readfds	Read FDs to additionally check for in internal select() or NULL if not required.
writefds	Write FDs to additionally check for in internal select() or NULL if not required.
exceptfds	Except FDs to additionally check for in internal select() or NULL if not required.

Returns

Number of milliseconds spent in coap_io_process_with_fds, or -1 if there was an error. If defined, readfds, writefds, exceptfds are updated as returned by the internal select() call.
