CFSocketCreate(_:_:_:_:_:_:_:)

Creates a CFSocket object of a specified protocol and type.

Declaration

func CFSocketCreate(_ allocator: CFAllocator!, _ protocolFamily: Int32, _ socketType: Int32, _ protocol: Int32, _ callBackTypes: CFOptionFlags, _ callout: CFSocketCallBack!, _ context: UnsafePointer<CFSocketContext>!) -> CFSocket!

Parameters

  • allocator:

    The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new object. Pass NULL or Kcfallocatordefault to use the current default allocator.

  • protocolFamily:

    The protocol family for the socket. If negative or 0 is passed, the socket defaults to PF_INET.

  • socketType:

    The socket type to create. If protocolFamily is PF_INET and socketType is negative or 0, the socket type defaults to SOCK_STREAM.

  • protocol:

    The protocol for the socket. If protocolFamily is PF_INET and protocol is negative or 0, the socket protocol defaults to IPPROTO_TCP if socketType is SOCK_STREAM or IPPROTO_UDP if socketType is SOCK_DGRAM.

  • callBackTypes:

    A bitwise-OR combination of the types of socket activity that should cause callout to be called. See Cfsocketcallbacktype for the possible activity values.

  • callout:

    The function to call when one of the activities indicated by callBackTypes occurs.

  • context:

    A structure holding contextual information for the CFSocket object. The function copies the information out of the structure, so the memory pointed to by context does not need to persist beyond the function call. Can be NULL.

Return Value

The new CFSocket object, or NULL if an error occurred. Ownership follows the The Create Rule.
