proton::io Namespace Reference

IO using sockets, file descriptors, or handles. More...

Classes
struct	guard
	Use to call io::initialize and io::finalize around a scope. More...
class	listener
	Listening socket. More...
class	socket_engine
	A connection_engine for socket-based IO. More...

Typedefs
typedef int64_t	descriptor
	An IO resource.

Functions
std::string	error_str ()
	Return a string describing the most recent IO error.
descriptor	connect (const proton::url &)
	Open a TCP connection to the host:port (port can be a service name or number) from a proton::url.
Setup and teardown
Call proton::io::initialize before using any functions in the proton::io namespace. Call proton::io::finalize when you are done. You can call initialize/finalize more than once as long as they are in matching pairs. Use proton::io::guard to call initialize/finalize around a scope. Note that on POSIX systems these are no-ops, but they are required for Windows.
void	initialize ()
	Initialize the proton::io subsystem.
void	finalize ()
	Finalize the proton::io subsystem.

Detailed Description

IO using sockets, file descriptors, or handles.

Note that you can use proton::connection_engine to communicate using AMQP over your own IO implementation or to integrate an existing IO framework of your choice.
