Detailed Description

Simple wrapper for ZeroConf key/value pairs.

The servus class allows simple announcement and discovery of key/value pairs using ZeroConf networking. The same instance can be used to announce and/or to browse a ZeroConf service. If the Servus library is compiled without zeroconf support (

See also: isAvailable()), this class does not do anything useful.

explicit

Create a new service handle.

Parameters

name	the service descriptor, e.g., "_hwsd._tcp"

Version: 1.1

virtual servus::Servus::~Servus ( )

virtual

Destruct this service.

Version: 1.1

Member Function Documentation

void servus::Servus::addListener ( Listener * listener )

Add a listener which is invoked according to its supported callbacks.

Parameters

listener the listener to be added, must not be nullptr

Version: 1.2

Result servus::Servus::announce	(	const unsigned short	port,
		const std::string &	instance
	)

Start announcing the registered key/value pairs.

Parameters

port	the service IP port in host byte order.
instance	a host-unique instance name, hostname is used if empty.

Returns: the success status of the operation.

Version: 1.1

Result servus::Servus::beginBrowsing ( const servus::Servus::Interface addr )

Begin the discovery of announced key/value pairs.

Parameters

addr	the scope of the discovery

Returns: the success status of the operation.

Version: 1.1

Result servus::Servus::browse ( int32_t timeout = -1 )

Browse and process discovered key/value pairs.

Parameters

timeout The time to spend browsing.

Returns: the success status of the operation.

Version: 1.1

bool servus::Servus::containsKey	(	const std::string &	instance,
		const std::string &	key
	)		const

Returns: true if the given key was discovered.

Version: 1.1

Strings servus::Servus::discover	(	const Interface	addr,
		const unsigned	browseTime
	)

Discover all announced key/value pairs.

Parameters

addr	the scope of the discovery
browseTime	the browse time, in milliseconds, to wait for new records.

Returns: all instance names found during discovery.

See also: beginBrowsing(), browse(), endBrowsing()

Version: 1.1

void servus::Servus::endBrowsing ( )

Stop a discovery process and return all results.

Version: 1.1

const std::string& servus::Servus::get ( const std::string & key ) const

Returns: the value to the given (to be) announced key.

Version: 1.1

const std::string& servus::Servus::get	(	const std::string &	instance,
		const std::string &	key
	)		const

Returns: the value of the given key and instance.

Version: 1.1

const std::string& servus::Servus::getHost ( const std::string & instance ) const

Returns: the host corresponding to the given instance.

Version: 1.3

Strings servus::Servus::getInstances ( ) const

Returns: all instances found during the last discovery.

Version: 1.1

Strings servus::Servus::getKeys ( ) const

Returns: all (to be) announced keys.

Version: 1.1

Strings servus::Servus::getKeys ( const std::string & instance ) const

Returns: all keys discovered on the given instance.

Version: 1.1

const std::string& servus::Servus::getName ( ) const

Returns: the service name.

Version: 1.1

bool servus::Servus::isAnnounced ( ) const

Returns: true if the local data is announced.

Version: 1.1

static bool servus::Servus::isAvailable ( )

static

Returns: true if a usable implementation is available.

bool servus::Servus::isBrowsing ( ) const

Returns: true if the local data is browsing.

Version: 1.1

void servus::Servus::removeListener ( Listener * listener )

Remove a listener to stop invokation on its supported callbacks.

Parameters

listener the listener to be removed, must not be nullptr

Version: 1.2

void servus::Servus::set	(	const std::string &	key,
		const std::string &	value
	)

Set a key/value pair to be announced.

Keys should be at most eight characters, and values are truncated to 255 characters. The total length of all keys and values cannot exceed 65535 characters. Setting a value on an announced service causes an update which needs some time to propagate after this function returns, that is, calling discover() immediately afterwards will very likely not contain the new key/value pair.

Version: 1.1

void servus::Servus::withdraw ( )

Stop announcing the registered key/value pairs.

Version: 1.1
