Ecore Connection Library Functions

---

Utility functions that set up and shut down the Ecore Connection library.

There's also ecore_con_lookup() that can be used to make simple asynchronous DNS lookups.

A simple example of how to use these functions:

• Ecore_Con - DNS lookup

Functions
int	ecore_con_init (void)
	Initializes the Ecore_Con library.
int	ecore_con_shutdown (void)
	Shuts down the Ecore_Con library.
Eina_Bool	ecore_con_lookup (const char *name, Ecore_Con_Dns_Cb done_cb, const void *data)
	Do an asynchronous DNS lookup.
Typedefs
typedef void(*	Ecore_Con_Dns_Cb )(const char *canonname, const char *ip, struct sockaddr *addr, int addrlen, void *data)

Function Documentation

int ecore_con_init

(

void

)

Initializes the Ecore_Con library.

Returns:

Number of times the library has been initialised without being shut down.

Note:

This function already calls ecore_init() internally, so you don't need to call it explicitly.

Since :

3.0f(2.3.1)

Examples:

ecore_con_client_simple_example.c, ecore_con_lookup_example.c, ecore_con_server_simple_example.c, ecore_con_url_cookies_example.c, ecore_con_url_download_example.c, and ecore_con_url_headers_example.c.

Eina_Bool ecore_con_lookup	(	const char *	name,
		Ecore_Con_Dns_Cb	done_cb,
		const void *	data
	)

Do an asynchronous DNS lookup.

This function performs a DNS lookup on the hostname specified by name, then calls done_cb with the result and the data given as parameter. The result will be given to the done_cb as follows:

canonname - the canonical name of the address, ip - the resolved ip address, addr - a pointer to the socket address, addrlen - the length of the socket address, in bytes, data - the data pointer given as parameter.

Parameters:

[in]	name	IP address or server name to translate.
[in]	done_cb	Callback to notify when done.
[in]	data	User data to be given to done_cb.

Returns:

true if the request did not fail to be set up, false otherwise.

Since :

3.0f(2.3.1)

Examples:

ecore_con_lookup_example.c.

int ecore_con_shutdown

(

void

)

Shuts down the Ecore_Con library.

Returns:

Number of times the library has been initialised without being shut down.

Note:

This function already calls ecore_shutdown() internally, so you don't need to call it explicitly unless you called ecore_init() explicitly too.

Since :

3.0f(2.3.1)

Examples:

ecore_con_client_simple_example.c, ecore_con_lookup_example.c, ecore_con_server_simple_example.c, ecore_con_url_cookies_example.c, ecore_con_url_download_example.c, and ecore_con_url_headers_example.c.
