Description

GSocketAddressEnumerator is an enumerator type for GSocketAddress instances. It is returned by enumeration functions such as g_socket_connectable_enumerate(), which returns a GSocketAddressEnumerator to list each GSocketAddress which could be used to connect to that GSocketConnectable.

Enumeration is typically a blocking operation, so the asynchronous methods g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async() and g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish() should be used where possible.

Each GSocketAddressEnumerator can only be enumerated once. Once g_socket_address_enumerator_next() has returned NULL, further enumeration with that GSocketAddressEnumerator is not possible, and it can be unreffed.

Functions

g_socket_address_enumerator_next ()

GSocketAddress *
g_socket_address_enumerator_next (GSocketAddressEnumerator *enumerator,
                                  GCancellable *cancellable,
                                  GError **error);

Retrieves the next GSocketAddress from enumerator . Note that this may block for some amount of time. (Eg, a GNetworkAddress may need to do a DNS lookup before it can return an address.) Use g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async() if you need to avoid blocking.

If enumerator is expected to yield addresses, but for some reason is unable to (eg, because of a DNS error), then the first call to g_socket_address_enumerator_next() will return an appropriate error in *error . However, if the first call to g_socket_address_enumerator_next() succeeds, then any further internal errors (other than cancellable being triggered) will be ignored.

Parameters

enumerator	a GSocketAddressEnumerator
cancellable	optional GCancellable object, `NULL` to ignore.	[nullable]
error	a GError.

Returns

a GSocketAddress (owned by the caller), or NULL on error (in which case *error will be set) or if there are no more addresses.

g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async ()

void
g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async
                               (GSocketAddressEnumerator *enumerator,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously retrieves the next GSocketAddress from enumerator and then calls callback , which must call g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish() to get the result.

It is an error to call this multiple times before the previous callback has finished.

Parameters

enumerator	a GSocketAddressEnumerator
cancellable	optional GCancellable object, `NULL` to ignore.	[nullable]
callback	a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied.	[scope async]
user_data	the data to pass to callback function.	[closure]

g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish ()

GSocketAddress *
g_socket_address_enumerator_next_finish
                               (GSocketAddressEnumerator *enumerator,
                                GAsyncResult *result,
                                GError **error);

Retrieves the result of a completed call to g_socket_address_enumerator_next_async(). See g_socket_address_enumerator_next() for more information about error handling.

Parameters

enumerator	a GSocketAddressEnumerator
result	a GAsyncResult
error	a GError

Returns

a GSocketAddress (owned by the caller), or NULL on error (in which case *error will be set) or if there are no more addresses.
