Tizen Native API  6.5
Data Channel

The Data Channel API provides functions to manage data channels.

Required Header

#include <webrtc.h>

Overview

The WebRTC Data Channel API allows you to:

  • create/destroy the data channel
  • send/receive bytes or string data to/from the data channel
  • get notified various states of the data channel

Function Documentation

int webrtc_create_data_channel ( webrtc_h  webrtc,

)

Creates a new data channel which is linked with the remote peer.

The options dictionary is similar format as the RTCDataChannelInit members outlined https://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/#dom-rtcdatachannelinit.
The following attributes can be set to options by using bundle API:
'ordered' of type bool : Whether the channel will send data with guaranteed ordering. The default value is true.
'max-packet-lifetime' of type int : The time in milliseconds to attempt transmitting unacknowledged data. -1 for unset. The default value is -1.
'max-retransmits' of type int : The number of times data will be attempted to be transmitted without acknowledgement before dropping. The default value is -1.
'protocol' of type string : The subprotocol used by this channel. The default value is NULL.
'id' of type int : Override the default identifier selection of this channel. The default value is -1.
'priority' of type int : The priority to use for this channel(1:very low, 2:low, 3:medium, 4:high). The default value is 2.
