The interface of this library is very close to the Unix socket interface, also supported by the MS-Windows _winsock_ API. SWI-Prolog applications that wish to communicate with multiple sources have three options: - Use I/O multiplexing based on wait_for_input/3. On Windows systems this can only be used for sockets, not for general (device-) file handles. - Use multiple threads, handling either a single blocking socket or a pool using I/O multiplexing as above. - Using XPCE's class `socket` which synchronises socket events in the GUI event-loop. ## Client applications {#socket-server} Using this library to establish a TCP connection to a server is as simple as opening a file. See also http_open/3. == dump_swi_homepage :- setup_call_cleanup( tcp_connect(www.swi-prolog.org:http, Stream, []), ( format(Stream, 'GET / HTTP/1.1~n\c Host: www.swi-prolog.org~n\c Connection: close~n~n', []), flush_output(Stream), copy_stream_data(Stream, current_output) ), close(S)). == To deal with timeouts and multiple connections, threads, wait_for_input/3 and/or non-blocking streams (see tcp_fcntl/3) can be used. ## Server applications {#socket-client} The typical sequence for generating a server application is given below. To close the server, use close/1 on `AcceptFd`. == create_server(Port) :- tcp_socket(Socket), tcp_bind(Socket, Port), tcp_listen(Socket, 5), tcp_open_socket(Socket, AcceptFd, _), == There are various options for . The most commonly used option is to start a Prolog thread to handle the connection. Alternatively, input from multiple clients can be handled in a single thread by listening to these clients using wait_for_input/3. Finally, on Unix systems, we can use fork/1 to handle the connection in a new process. Note that fork/1 and threads do not cooperate well. Combinations can be realised but require good understanding of POSIX thread and fork-semantics. Below is the typical example using a thread. Note the use of setup_call_cleanup/3 to guarantee that all resources are reclaimed, also in case of failure or exceptions. == dispatch(AcceptFd) :- tcp_accept(AcceptFd, Socket, _Peer), thread_create(process_client(Socket, Peer), _, [ detached(true) ]), dispatch(AcceptFd). process_client(Socket, Peer) :- setup_call_cleanup( tcp_open_socket(Socket, StreamPair), handle_service(In, StreamPair), close(StreamPair)). handle_service(StreamPair) :- ... == ## TCP socket predicates {#socket-predicates} */ :- multifile tcp_connect_hook/3, % +Socket, +Addr, -In, -Out tcp_connect_hook/4, % +Socket, +Addr, -Stream proxy_for_url/3, % +URL, +Host, -ProxyList try_proxy/4. % +Proxy, +Addr, -Socket, -Stream :- predicate_options(tcp_connect/3, 3, [ bypass_proxy(boolean), nodelay(boolean) ]). :- use_foreign_library(foreign(socket), install_socket). :- public tcp_debug/1. % set debugging. %! tcp_socket(-SocketId) is det. % % Creates an INET-domain stream-socket and unifies an identifier % to it with SocketId. On MS-Windows, if the socket library is not % yet initialised, this will also initialise the library. %! tcp_close_socket(+SocketId) is det. % % Closes the indicated socket, making SocketId invalid. Normally, % sockets are closed by closing both stream handles returned by % open_socket/3. There are two cases where tcp_close_socket/1 is % used because there are no stream-handles: % % - If, after tcp_accept/3, the server uses fork/1 to handle the % client in a sub-process. In this case the accepted socket is % not longer needed from the main server and must be discarded % using tcp_close_socket/1. % - If, after discovering the connecting client with % tcp_accept/3, the server does not want to accept the % connection, it should discard the accepted socket % immediately using tcp_close_socket/1. %! tcp_open_socket(+SocketId, -StreamPair) is det. % % Create streams to communicate to SocketId. If SocketId is a % master socket (see tcp_bind/2), StreamPair should be used for % tcp_accept/3. If SocketId is a connected (see tcp_connect/2) or % accepted socket (see tcp_accept/3), StreamPair is unified to a % stream pair (see stream_pair/3) that can be used for reading and % writing. The stream or pair must be closed with close/1, which % also closes SocketId. tcp_open_socket(Socket, Stream) :- tcp_open_socket(Socket, In, Out), ( var(Out) -> Stream = In ; stream_pair(Stream, In, Out) ). %! tcp_open_socket(+SocketId, -InStream, -OutStream) is det. % % Similar to tcp_open_socket/2, but creates two separate sockets % where tcp_open_socket/2 would have created a stream pair. % % @deprecated New code should use tcp_open_socket/2 because % closing a stream pair is much easier to perform safely. %! tcp_bind(SocketId, ?Address) is det. % % Bind the socket to Address on the current machine. This % operation, together with tcp_listen/2 and tcp_accept/3 implement % the _server-side_ of the socket interface. Address is either an % plain `Port` or a term HostPort. The first form binds the socket % to the given port on all interfaces, while the second only binds % to the matching interface. A typical example is below, causing % the socket to listen only on port 8080 on the local machine's % network. % % == % tcp_bind(Socket, localhost:8080) % == % % If `Port` is unbound, the system picks an arbitrary free port % and unifies `Port` with the selected port number. `Port` is % either an integer or the name of a registered service. See also % tcp_connect/4. %! tcp_listen(+SocketId, +BackLog) is det. % % Tells, after tcp_bind/2, the socket to listen for incoming % requests for connections. Backlog indicates how many pending % connection requests are allowed. Pending requests are requests % that are not yet acknowledged using tcp_accept/3. If the % indicated number is exceeded, the requesting client will be % signalled that the service is currently not available. A % commonly used default value for Backlog is 5. %! tcp_accept(+Socket, -Slave, -Peer) is det. % % This predicate waits on a server socket for a connection request % by a client. On success, it creates a new socket for the client % and binds the identifier to Slave. Peer is bound to the % IP-address of the client. %! tcp_connect(+SocketId, +HostAndPort) is det. % % Connect SocketId. After successful completion, tcp_open_socket/3 % can be used to create I/O-Streams to the remote socket. This % predicate is part of the low level client API. A connection to a % particular host and port is realised using these steps: % % == % tcp_socket(Socket), % tcp_connect(Socket, Host:Port), % tcp_open_socket(Socket, StreamPair) % == % % Typical client applications should use the high level interface % provided by tcp_connect/3 which avoids resource leaking if a % step in the process fails, and can be hooked to support proxies. % For example: % % == % setup_call_cleanup( % tcp_connect(Host:Port, StreamPair, []), % talk(StreamPair), % close(StreamPair)) % == /******************************* * HOOKABLE CONNECT * *******************************/ %! tcp_connect(+Socket, +Address, -Read, -Write) is det. % % Connect a (client) socket to Address and return a bi-directional % connection through the stream-handles Read and Write.
