create new net address.
| hostname |
a String, either an IP number (e.g. "192.168.34.56") or a hostname such as "otherHost.local". |
| port |
a port number, like 57110. |
create new net address using an integer IP number.
Get the port sclang is currently listening on (may change after a recompile).
Get a NetAddr which corresponds to localhost and the port sclang is listening on.
close all TCP connections.
Get or set the broadcast flag (whether or not broadcast messages can be sent).
Test an IP address to see if it matches that of one of the NICs on this computer.
| ipstring |
A String to test containing an IP number in dot decimal notation (e.g. "192.168.34.56"). |
A Boolean indicating whether a match was found.
send a message without timestamp to the addr.
send a bundle with timestamp to the addr.
send a raw message without timestamp to the addr.
open TCP connection.
| disconnectHandler |
called when the connection is closed (either by the client or by the server). |
close TCP connection.
returns the ip number (as a String).
n = NetAddr("localhost", 57110);
n.ip;
Test if this NetAddr ip number matches that of one of this hosts NICs, or the loopback address.
A Boolean.
n = NetAddr("127.0.0.1", 57120); // 57120 is sclang default port
r = OSCFunc({ arg msg, time; [time, msg].postln }, '/good/news', n);
n.sendMsg("/good/news", "you", "not you");
n.sendMsg("/good/news", 1, 1.3, 77);
n.sendBundle(0.2, ["/good/news", 1, 1.3, 77]);
r.free;
n.disconnect;
// note that different NetAddr objects with the same port and ip are independent.
r = OSCFunc({ "message arrived".postln }, '/x');
n = NetAddr("127.0.0.1", 57120);
n.sendMsg("/x")
u = NetAddr("127.0.0.1", 57120);
u.sendMsg("/x");
n.disconnect
u.sendMsg("/x");
r.free;
u.disconnect;
