CFSocketRegisterSocketSignature(_:_:_:_:)

Registers a socket signature with a CFSocket name server.

Declaration

func CFSocketRegisterSocketSignature(_ nameServerSignature: UnsafePointer<CFSocketSignature>!, _ timeout: CFTimeInterval, _ name: CFString!, _ signature: UnsafePointer<CFSocketSignature>!) -> CFSocketError

Parameters

  • nameServerSignature:

    The socket signature for the name server. If NULL, this function contacts the default server, which is assumed to be a local process using TCP/IP to listen on the port number returned from Cfsocketgetdefaultnameregistryportnumber(). If nameServerSignature is incomplete, the missing values are replaced with the default server’s values, if appropriate.

  • timeout:

    The time to wait for the server to accept a connection and to reply to the registration request.

  • name:

    The name with which to register signature.

  • signature:

    The socket signature to register.

Return Value

An error code indicating success or failure.

Discussion

Once a socket signature is registered, other processes can retrieve it with CFSocketCopyRegisteredSocketSignature(_:_:_:_:_:) and then open a connection to your socket using CFSocketCreateConnectedToSocketSignature(_:_:_:_:_:_:).

To remove a registered socket signature from the name server, use CFSocketUnregister(_:_:_:).
