TCPIPV6NetworkStreamWriter

TCPIPV6UNIXNetworkStreamWriter Class

Instance methods

openOn (String hostName)

openOn (String hostName, Integer port)

Open a socket connection to hostName for writing, optionally using port as the network port for the connection. If successful, the method returns the filehandle number of the socket object that made the connection as an Integer

If no port is given, the method uses the definition of DEFAULT_TCPIP_PORT, which is defined in ctalkdefs.h, as the port number. To include these definitions, you can add the following line to a program.

#include <ctalk/ctalkdefs.h>

The argument hostName must be the name of an IPv6 capable host, or the method raises an Exception and returns 0. The method also raises an Exception and returns 0 if an error occurs while trying to connect the socket.
