Struct channel_protocol::ChannelProtocol

pub struct ChannelProtocol { /* fields omitted */ }

Channel protocol structure

Methods

impl Protocol

pub fn new(host_ip: &str, remote_addr: &str, data_len: u32) -> Self

Create a new channel protocol instance using an automatically assigned UDP socket

Arguments

• host_ip - The local IP address
• remote_addr - The remote IP and port to communicate with
• data_len - Max payload length

Errors

If this function encounters any errors, it will panic

Examples

use channel_protocol::*;

let channel_protocol = ChannelProtocol::new("0.0.0.0", "192.168.0.1:7000", 4096);

pub fn set_remote(&mut self, remote: SocketAddr)

Set new remote address on existing channel procotol structure

Arguments

• remote - New remote address

pub fn send(&self, vec: Vec<u8>) -> Result<(), ProtocolError>

Send CBOR packet to the destination port

Arguments

• vec - CBOR packet to send

Errors

If this function encounters any errors, it will return an error message string

Examples

extern crate channel_protocol;
extern crate serde_cbor;

use channel_protocol::*;
use serde_cbor::ser;

let c_protocol = ChannelProtocol::new("0.0.0.0", "0.0.0.0:7000", 4096);
let message = ser::to_vec_packed(&"ping").unwrap();

c_protocol.send(message);

pub fn recv_raw(     &self,     timeout: Option<Duration> ) -> Result<Value, ProtocolError>

Receive a raw cbor message message

Arguments

• timeout - Maximum time to wait for a reply. If None, will block indefinitely

Errors

• If this function times out, it will return Err(ProtocolError::ReceiveTimeout)
• If this function encounters any errors, it will return an error message string

Examples

extern crate channel_protocol;

use channel_protocol::*;
use std::time::Duration;

let c_protocol = ChannelProtocol::new("0.0.0.0", "0.0.0.0:7000", 4096);

let message = match c_protocol.recv_raw(Some(Duration::from_secs(1))) {
    Ok(data) => data,
    Err(ProtocolError::ReceiveTimeout) =>  {
        println!("Timeout waiting for message");
        return;
    }
    Err(err) => panic!("Failed to receive message: {}", err),
};

pub fn recv_message(     &self,     timeout: Option<Duration> ) -> Result<Message, ProtocolError>

Receive a parsed channel procotol message

Arguments

• timeout - Maximum time to wait for a reply. If None, will block indefinitely

Errors

• If this function times out, it will return Err(ProtocolError::ReceiveTimeout)
• If this function encounters any errors, it will return an error message string

Examples

extern crate channel_protocol;

use channel_protocol::*;
use std::time::Duration;

let c_protocol = ChannelProtocol::new("0.0.0.0", "0.0.0.0:7000", 4096);

let message = match c_protocol.recv_message(Some(Duration::from_secs(1))) {
    Ok(data) => data,
    Err(ProtocolError::ReceiveTimeout) =>  {
        println!("Timeout waiting for message");
        return;
    }
    Err(err) => panic!("Failed to receive message: {}", err),
};
