From 7fbf2c26ac063988818230a0e18a9df48c2fbf2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve Vinoski Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:42:00 -0400 Subject: add {active,N} socket option for TCP, UDP, and SCTP Add the {active,N} socket option, where N is an integer in the range -32768..32767, to allow a caller to specify the number of data messages to be delivered to the controlling process. Once the socket's delivered message count either reaches 0 or is explicitly set to 0 with inet:setopts/2 or by including {active,0} as an option when the socket is created, the socket transitions to passive ({active, false}) mode and the socket's controlling process receives a message to inform it of the transition. TCP sockets receive {tcp_passive,Socket}, UDP sockets receive {udp_passive,Socket} and SCTP sockets receive {sctp_passive,Socket}. The socket's delivered message counter defaults to 0, but it can be set using {active,N} via any gen_tcp, gen_udp, or gen_sctp function that takes socket options as arguments, or via inet:setopts/2. New N values are added to the socket's current counter value, and negative numbers can be used to reduce the counter value. Specifying a number that would cause the socket's counter value to go above 32767 causes an einval error. If a negative number is specified such that the counter value would become negative, the socket's counter value is set to 0 and the socket transitions to passive mode. If the counter value is already 0 and inet:setopts(Socket, [{active,0}]) is specified, the counter value remains at 0 but the appropriate passive mode transition message is generated for the socket. This commit contains a modified preloaded prim_inet.beam due to changes in prim_inet.erl. Add tests for {active,N} mode for TCP, UDP, and SCTP sockets. Add documentation for {active,N} mode for inet, gen_tcp, gen_udp, and gen_sctp. --- lib/kernel/src/inet_int.hrl | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'lib/kernel/src/inet_int.hrl') diff --git a/lib/kernel/src/inet_int.hrl b/lib/kernel/src/inet_int.hrl index 18a4a61b2f..024a5fd3b6 100644 --- a/lib/kernel/src/inet_int.hrl +++ b/lib/kernel/src/inet_int.hrl @@ -46,6 +46,7 @@ -define(INET_PASSIVE, 0). -define(INET_ACTIVE, 1). -define(INET_ONCE, 2). % Active once then passive +-define(INET_MULTI, 3). % Active N then passive %% state codes (getstatus, INET_REQ_GETSTATUS) -define(INET_F_OPEN, 16#0001). -- cgit v1.2.3
