1.146.1 Instance variables

socket <-> accept_message: code*

This message is executed after a server socket has accepted a new connection. It receives the following arguments:

@receiver	The original socket
@arg1	The object<-clone’d socket for the new connection.

This message may be used to deny the client access by object->free’ing the new socket (@arg2).

See also stream->input_message.

socket <- address: file|tuple|int*

Address for the connection end-point. If the socket was created as a server socket on inet address 0 (this machine, port number 0), the socket->listen call will replace the socket<-address with the actually used port number.

stream <- input_message: code*

Whenever there is input available, this message will be called with

@receiver = the socket
@arg1 = a new string object holding the data

See also stream<-read_line.

Defaults: The default input_message is @nil. In this case data may only be read using stream<-read_line.

socket <- status: {idle,listen,accepted,connected}

Status of the associated socket. The initial socket<-status of a socket is idle. A server socket waiting for connections has status listen. An cloned server socket handling a connection has status accepted and finally, an open client socket has socket<-status connected.

See also socket->listen, and socket->connect.
