Detailed Description

A broker mediates between actor systems and other components in the network.

Member Function Documentation

add_tcp_doorman()

expected< std::pair< accept_handle, uint16_t > > caf::io::abstract_broker::add_tcp_doorman	(	uint16_t	port = 0,
		const char *	in = nullptr,
		bool	reuse_addr = false
	)

Tries to open a local port and creates a doorman managing it on success.

If port == 0, then the broker will ask the operating system to pick a random port.

Returns

The handle of the new doorman and the assigned port.

add_tcp_scribe()

expected< connection_handle > caf::io::abstract_broker::add_tcp_scribe	(	const std::string &	host,
		uint16_t	port
	)

Tries to connect to host on given port and creates a new scribe describing the connection afterwards.

Returns

The handle of the new scribe on success.

add_udp_datagram_servant() [1/2]

expected< datagram_handle > caf::io::abstract_broker::add_udp_datagram_servant	(	const std::string &	host,
		uint16_t	port
	)

Creates a new datagram_servant for the remote endpoint host and port.

Returns

The handle to the new datagram_servant.

add_udp_datagram_servant() [2/2]

expected< std::pair< datagram_handle, uint16_t > > caf::io::abstract_broker::add_udp_datagram_servant	(	uint16_t	port = 0,
		const char *	in = nullptr,
		bool	reuse_addr = false
	)

Tries to open a local port and creates a datagram_servant managing it on success.

If port == 0, then the broker will ask the operating system to pick a random port.

Returns

The handle of the new datagram_servant and the assigned port.

close()

template<class Handle >

bool caf::io::abstract_broker::close

(

Handle

hdl

)

Closes the connection or acceptor identified by handle.

Unwritten data will still be send.

configure_read()

void caf::io::abstract_broker::configure_read	(	connection_handle	hdl,
		receive_policy::config	cfg
	)

Modifies the receive policy for a given connection.

Parameters

hdl	Identifies the affected connection.
cfg	Contains the new receive policy.
