Struct Socket 

pub struct Socket { /* private fields */ }

A connection to a UdpSocket that understands how to send/receive Deliverable. Meant to be used by both Client and Server.

Currently wraps UdpSocket::bind

Implementations

impl Socket

pub fn new(address: SocketAddrV4, interface: Option<&String>) -> Self

Bind to an ip address/port and require that broadcast is enabled on the socket.

Should be be called by both Server::new and Client::new, so this can be slower/panic since it is not in the listen_once hot path.

pub fn get_ip(&self) -> Ipv4Addr

Returns the ip address of the bound socket.

Can panic as typically called outside of listen_once hot path.

pub fn receive<M: Deliverable<Output = M>>(&self) -> Result<(M, SocketAddr)>

Converts received bytes into a Deliverable and returns it and the source address.

pub fn unicast<A: ToSocketAddrs, M: Deliverable>( &self, message: &M, address: A, ) -> Result<()>

Converts a message to bytes and then sends it to the passed address.

pub fn broadcast<M: Deliverable>(&self, message: &M, port: u16) -> Result<()>

Send a message as bytes to many devices on the local network.
