fuchsia.posix.socket.packet

PROTOCOLS

Provider

Defined in fuchsia.posix.socket.packet/socket.fidl

A packet socket provider.

Socket

Requests a packet socket.

• request kind the kind of packet socket to create.

• response socket the packet socket.

kind	Kind

payload	Provider_Socket_Result

Socket

Defined in fuchsia.posix.socket.packet/socket.fidl

A packet socket.

This interface is essentially POSIX.

All methods on this type are nonblocking; their exact behaviors match their Linux counterparts.

Warning: This protocol is not yet ready for direct use by clients. Instead, clients should use the BSD sockets API to interact with sockets. We plan to change this protocol substantially and clients that couple directly to this protocol will make those changes more difficult.

Bind

Bind the socket to a protocol and/or interface.

• request protocol the socket's new protocol association.
• request bound_interface_id the socket's new interface binding.

Request

Name	Type
protocol	ProtocolAssociation?
bound_interface_id	BoundInterfaceId

Response

payload	Socket_Bind_Result

Clone2

Request

Name	Type
request	server_end<fuchsia.unknown/Cloneable>

Close

Terminates the connection.

After calling Close, the client must not send any other requests.

Servers, after sending the status response, should close the connection regardless of status and without sending an epitaph.

Closing the client end of the channel should be semantically equivalent to calling Close without knowing when the close has completed or its status.
