Return type: opaque Returns: A TCP connection object. |
define TCPConnection function TCPTraceConnectionOpen on value string host-name at value integer port-number title value string trace-title timeout value integer timeout-in-milliseconds optional as local TCPConnection TCPTraceConnection
This function opens a TCP network connection to a trace server program running on the host specified by "host-name" at the port specified by "port-number." It returns a TCP connection object that can be used to send trace messages. The "trace-title" is a way to title (label) the trace connection. The trace server program could, for example, use "trace-title" as a title for a window that displays trace messages sent through the related trace connection object.
TCPTraceConnectionOpen
appends "%13#%10#" to the user-specified title. The trace server considers the first line (text ending with "%13#%10#") that is sent to be a title. Therefore, "trace-title" should not contain "%13#%10#".
If TCPTraceConnectionOpen
fails, it still returns a TCP connection object. This failure object is in error and is closed. The timeout value, if specified, applies only to the wait for the connection. If timeout is exceeded, the connection fails. If timeout is not specified, TCPTraceConnectionOpen
"blocks" until a connection is made or some other cause of failure is encountered.
Arguments:
Example:
local TCPConnection tracer local stream match-rule-trace open match-rule-trace as TCPTraceConnectionOpen on "monitor" at 5730 title "Tracing match rules" put match-rule-trace "rule x fired%n"
