Socket service requirements

A socket service must meet the requirements for an I/O object service with support for movability, as well as the additional requirements listed below.

In the table below, X denotes a socket service class for protocol Protocol, a and ao denote values of type X, b and c denote values of type X::implementation_type, p denotes a value of type Protocol, n denotes a value of type X::native_handle_type, e denotes a value of type Protocol::endpoint, ec denotes a value of type error_code, s denotes a value meeting SettableSocketOption requirements, g denotes a value meeting GettableSocketOption requirements, i denotes a value meeting IoControlCommand requirements, h denotes a value of type socket_base::shutdown_type, ch denotes a value meeting ConnectHandler requirements, and u and v denote identifiers.

X::native_handle_type

The implementation-defined native representation of a socket. Must satisfy the requirements of CopyConstructible types (C++ Std, 20.1.3), and the requirements of Assignable types (C++ Std, 23.1).

a.construct(b);

From IoObjectService requirements.
post: !a.is_open(b).

a.destroy(b);

From IoObjectService requirements. Implicitly cancels asynchronous operations, as if by calling a.close(b, ec).

a.move_construct(b, c);

From IoObjectService requirements. The underlying native representation is moved from c to b.

a.move_assign(b, ao, c);

From IoObjectService requirements. Implicitly cancels asynchronous operations associated with b, as if by calling a.close(b, ec). Then the underlying native representation is moved from c to b.

a.open(b, p, ec);

error_code

pre: !a.is_open(b).
post: !!ec || a.is_open(b).

a.assign(b, p, n, ec);

error_code

pre: !a.is_open(b).
post: !!ec || a.is_open(b).

a.is_open(b);

bool

const X& u = a;
const X::implementation_type& v = b;
u.is_open(v);

bool

a.close(b, ec);

error_code

If a.is_open() is true, causes any outstanding asynchronous operations to complete as soon as possible. Handlers for cancelled operations shall be passed the error code error::operation_aborted.
post: !a.is_open(b).

a.native_handle(b);

X::native_handle_type

a.cancel(b, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).
Causes any outstanding asynchronous operations to complete as soon as possible. Handlers for cancelled operations shall be passed the error code error::operation_aborted.

a.set_option(b, s, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.get_option(b, g, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

const X& u = a;
const X::implementation_type& v = b;
u.get_option(v, g, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.io_control(b, i, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.at_mark(b, ec);

bool

pre: a.is_open(b).

const X& u = a;
const X::implementation_type& v = b;
u.at_mark(v, ec);

bool

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.available(b, ec);

size_t

pre: a.is_open(b).

const X& u = a;
const X::implementation_type& v = b;
u.available(v, ec);

size_t

pre: a.is_open(b).

const typename Protocol::endpoint& u = e;
a.bind(b, u, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.shutdown(b, h, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.local_endpoint(b, ec);

Protocol::endpoint

pre: a.is_open(b).

const X& u = a;
const X::implementation_type& v = b;
u.local_endpoint(v, ec);

Protocol::endpoint

pre: a.is_open(b).

a.remote_endpoint(b, ec);

Protocol::endpoint

pre: a.is_open(b).

const X& u = a;
const X::implementation_type& v = b;
u.remote_endpoint(v, ec);

Protocol::endpoint

pre: a.is_open(b).

const typename Protocol::endpoint& u = e;
a.connect(b, u, ec);

error_code

pre: a.is_open(b).

const typename Protocol::endpoint& u = e;
a.async_connect(b, u, ch);

pre: a.is_open(b).
Initiates an asynchronous connect operation that is performed via the io_service object a.get_io_service() and behaves according to asynchronous operation requirements.
