Detailed Description

A network channel supporting an AMQP connection.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ PN_TRACE_DRV

#define PN_TRACE_DRV

Log driver-related events.

For example, initialization, end of stream, and so on.

Typedef Documentation

◆ pn_trace_t

typedef int pn_trace_t

Holds the trace flags for an AMQP transport.

The trace flags for an AMQP transport control what sort of information is logged by an AMQP transport. The following bits can be set:

◆ pn_transport_t

A network channel supporting an AMQP connection.

A pn_transport_t encapsulates the transport related state of all AMQP endpoint objects associated with a physical network connection at a given point in time.

Function Documentation

◆ pn_transport()

pn_transport_t* pn_transport ( void  )

Factory for creating a transport.

A transport is used by a connection to interface with the network. There can only be one connection associated with a transport.

Initially a transport is configured to be a client transport. Use pn_transport_set_server() to configure the transport as a server transport.

A client transport initiates outgoing connections.

A client transport must be configured with the protocol layers to use and cannot configure itself automatically.

A server transport accepts incoming connections. It can automatically configure itself to include the various protocol layers depending on the incoming protocol headers.

Returns
pointer to new transport
Examples
broker.c.

◆ pn_transport_set_server()

void pn_transport_set_server ( pn_transport_t transport)

Configure a transport as a server.

Parameters
[in]transporta transport object
Examples
broker.c.

◆ pn_transport_free()

void pn_transport_free ( pn_transport_t transport)

Free a transport object.

When a transport is freed, it is automatically unbound from its associated connection.

Parameters
[in]transporta transport object or NULL

◆ pn_transport_get_user()

const char* pn_transport_get_user ( pn_transport_t transport)

Retrieve the authenticated user.

This is usually used at the the server end to find the name of the authenticated user. On the client it will merely return whatever user was passed in to the pn_connection_set_user() API of the bound connection.

The returned value is only reliable after the PN_TRANSPORT_AUTHENTICATED event has been received.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport
Returns
If a the user is anonymous (either no SASL layer is negotiated or the SASL ANONYMOUS mechanism is used) then the user will be "anonymous" Otherwise a string containing the user is returned.

◆ pn_transport_require_auth()

void pn_transport_require_auth ( pn_transport_t transport,
bool  required 
)

Set whether a non-authenticated transport connection is allowed.

There are several ways within the AMQP protocol suite to get unauthenticated connections:

  • Use no SASL layer (with either no TLS or TLS without client certificates)
  • Use a SASL layer but the ANONYMOUS mechanism

The default if this option is not set is to allow unauthenticated connections.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport
[in]requiredboolean is true when authenticated connections are required
Examples
direct.c.

◆ pn_transport_is_authenticated()

bool pn_transport_is_authenticated ( pn_transport_t transport)

Tell whether the transport connection is authenticated.

Note that this property may not be stable until the PN_CONNECTION_REMOTE_OPEN event is received.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport
Returns
bool representing authentication

◆ pn_transport_require_encryption()

void pn_transport_require_encryption ( pn_transport_t transport,
bool  required 
)

Set whether a non encrypted transport connection is allowed.

There are several ways within the AMQP protocol suite to get encrypted connections:

  • Use TLS
  • Use a SASL with a mechanism that supports security layers

The default if this option is not set is to allow unencrypted connections.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport
[in]requiredboolean is true when encrypted connections are required
Examples
broker.c.

◆ pn_transport_is_encrypted()

bool pn_transport_is_encrypted ( pn_transport_t transport)

Tell whether the transport connection is encrypted.

Note that this property may not be stable until the PN_CONNECTION_REMOTE_OPEN event is received.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport
Returns
bool representing encryption

◆ pn_transport_condition()

pn_condition_t* pn_transport_condition ( pn_transport_t transport)

Get additional information about the condition of the transport.

When a PN_TRANSPORT_ERROR event occurs, this operation can be used to access the details of the error condition.

The pointer returned by this operation is valid until the transport object is freed.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport object
Returns
the transport's condition object
Examples
broker.c, direct.c, receive.c, and send.c.

◆ pn_transport_logger()

pn_logger_t* pn_transport_logger ( pn_transport_t transport)

Get the transport logger.

This can be used to control the logging information emitted by the transport

The pointer returned by this operation is valid until the transport object is freed.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport object
Returns
the transport's logger object

◆ pn_transport_bind()

int pn_transport_bind ( pn_transport_t transport,
pn_connection_t connection

Returns
an error code, or 0 on success

◆ pn_transport_unbind()

int pn_transport_unbind ( pn_transport_t transport)

Deprecated - Use pn_connection_driver_destroy().

Unbinds a transport from its AMQP connection.

Returns
an error code, or 0 on success

◆ pn_transport_trace()

Parameters
[in]transporta transport object
Returns

◆ pn_transport_set_channel_max()

int pn_transport_set_channel_max ( pn_transport_t transport,
uint16_t  channel_max

Note that this is the maximum channel number allowed, giving a valid channel number range of [0..channel_max]. Therefore the maximum number of simultaneously active channels will be channel_max plus 1. You can call this function more than once to raise and lower the limit your application imposes on max channels for this transport. However, smaller limits may be imposed by this library, or by the remote peer. After the OPEN frame has been sent to the remote peer, further calls to this function will have no effect.

◆ pn_transport_tail()

char* pn_transport_tail ( pn_transport_t transport)

Deprecated - Use the Connection driver API.

)

Deprecated - Use the Connection driver API.

Pushes the supplied bytes into the tail of the transport.

This is equivalent to copying size bytes after the tail pointer and then calling pn_transport_process with an argument of size. Only some of the bytes will be copied if there is insufficient capacity available. Use pn_transport_capacity to determine how much capacity the transport has.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport

Calling this function will cause the transport to consume size bytes of input occupying the free space following the tail pointer. Calls to this function may change the value of pn_transport_tail, as well as the amount of free space reported by pn_transport_capacity.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport
[in]sizethe amount of data written to the transport's input buffer
Returns
0 on success, or error code if < 0

◆ pn_transport_close_tail()

◆ pn_transport_pending()

ssize_t pn_transport_pending ( pn_transport_t transport)

Deprecated - Use the Connection driver API.

Get the number of pending output bytes following the transport's head pointer.

If the engine is in an exceptional state such as encountering an error condition or reaching the end of stream state, a negative value will be returned indicating the condition. If an error is indicated, further details can be obtained from pn_transport_condition(). Calls to pn_transport_pop() may alter the value of this pointer. See pn_transport_pop() for details.

Parameters
[in]transportthe transport
Returns
the number of pending output bytes, or an error code

◆ pn_transport_head()

const char* pn_transport_head ( pn_transport_t transport)

Deprecated - Use the Connection driver API.

Get the transport's head pointer.

This pointer references queued output data. The pn_transport_pending function reports how many bytes of output data follow this pointer. Calls to pn_transport_pop may alter this pointer and any data it references. See pn_transport_pop for details.

[in]transportthe transport
Returns
a pointer to the transport's output buffer, or NULL if no pending output.
