basic_raw_socket::lowest_layer_type

Inherited from basic_socket.

A basic_socket is always the lowest layer.

typedef basic_socket< Protocol, Executor > lowest_layer_type;
Types

Name

Description

operator=

Move-assign a basic_socket from another.

Move-assign a basic_socket from a socket of another protocol type.

release

Release ownership of the underlying native socket.

remote_endpoint

Get the remote endpoint of the socket.

set_option

Set an option on the socket.

shutdown

Disable sends or receives on the socket.

Protected Member Functions

Name

Description

~basic_socket [destructor]

Protected destructor to prevent deletion through this type.

Data Members

Name

Description

max_connections [static]

(Deprecated: Use max_listen_connections.) The maximum length of the queue of pending incoming connections.

max_listen_connections [static]

The maximum length of the queue of pending incoming connections.

message_do_not_route [static]

Specify that the data should not be subject to routing.

message_end_of_record [static]

Specifies that the data marks the end of a record.

message_out_of_band [static]

Process out-of-band data.

message_peek [static]

Peek at incoming data without removing it from the input queue.

The basic_socket class template provides functionality that is common to both stream-oriented and datagram-oriented sockets.
