tcp-put

 
 

Library: TCP/IP client and server support (OMTCP legacy, OmniMark versions 6.0.2 - 7.0)
Include: omtcp.xin

Declaration

define external function tcp-put
         value tcp-connection Connection
    from value string         characters
 timeout value integer        ms 	    optional

Argument definitions

Connection
is a tcp-connection object representing an existing connection.
characters
are the characters that will be put in the output stream.
ms
is how long the function will wait for at least one character to be written, expressed in milliseconds.


Purpose

Use tcp-put to write characters to a TCP connection (sending them to the receiver).

Requirements

You must include the following line at the beginning of your OmniMark program:

  include "omtcp.xin"

Connection must exist (else external exception TCP05).

There may not be an active external sink derived from Connection with tcp-sink (else external exception TCP20).

Usage Notes

If an error occurs while writing, external exception TCP12 is thrown.

If the write operation times out, external exception TCP06 is thrown.

Sequential uses of tcp-put is allowed.

Example


  local tcp-connection Connection-1
  
     set Connection-1 to tcp-connect on "localhost" at 5300
  
     tcp-put Connection-1 from "hello world"
     tcp-put Connection-1 from ((("*" ||* 78) || "%n") ||* 40)
