Typedef Documentation

◆ DetermineFaceScopeFromAddress

using nfd::face::DetermineFaceScopeFromAddress = typedef std::function<ndn::nfd::FaceScope(const boost::asio::ip::address& local, const boost::asio::ip::address& remote)>

Definition at line 39 of file tcp-channel.hpp.

◆ EndpointId

using nfd::face::EndpointId = typedef std::variant<std::monostate, ethernet::Address, udp::Endpoint>

Identifies a remote endpoint on the link.

This ID is only meaningful in the context of the same Transport. Incoming packets from the same remote endpoint have the same EndpointId, and incoming packets from different remote endpoints have different EndpointIds.

Typically, a point-to-point Transport has only one meaningful EndpointId, represented by std::monostate.

Definition at line 77 of file face-common.hpp.

Prototype for the callback that is invoked when a face is created (in response to an incoming connection or after a connection is established).

Definition at line 88 of file channel.hpp.

◆ FaceCreationFailedCallback

using nfd::face::FaceCreationFailedCallback = typedef std::function<void(uint32_t status, const std::string& reason)>

Parameters

fd	file descriptor of the socket

Return values

QUEUE_UNSUPPORTED	this operation is unsupported on the current platform
