class:: NetAddr
summary:: network address
related:: Classes/OSCFunc
categories:: Control, External Control>OSC
ClassMethods::
private::initClass
method::new
create new net address.
note::To send messages internally, loopback IP is used: "127.0.0.1"::
argument::hostname
a link::Classes/String::, either an IP number (e.g. "192.168.34.56") or a hostname such as "otherHost.local".
argument::port
a port number, like 57110.
method::fromIP
create new net address using an integer IP number.
method::langPort
Get the port sclang is currently listening on (may change after a recompile).
method::localAddr
Get a NetAddr which corresponds to localhost and the port sclang is listening on.
method::disconnectAll
close all TCP connections.
method::broadcastFlag
Get or set the broadcast flag (whether or not broadcast messages can be sent).
method::matchLangIP
Test an IP address to see if it matches that of one of the NICs on this computer.
argument::ipstring
A link::Classes/String:: to test containing an IP number in dot decimal notation (e.g. "192.168.34.56").
returns::A link::Classes/Boolean:: indicating whether a match was found.
InstanceMethods::
private::prConnect, prDisconnect, prConnectionClosed, recover
method::sendMsg
Convert the argument list to an OSC message and send it to the NetAddr without a timestamp. The first argument is the OSC address, and the remaining arguments are the arguments in the OSC message. If you leave off the initial "/" in the OSC address, one will be prepended. The technical details of how sclang objects are converted to OSC messages is given in the link::Guides/OSC_communication:: helpfile.
code::
n = NetAddr("localhost", 12345);
n = s.addr;
// Example sending symbols, integers, and a float
n.sendMsg('/s_new', \default, 2000, 0, s.defaultGroup.nodeID, \freq, 60.midicps);
// The initial forward slash can be omitted
n.sendMsg(\n_set, 2000, \gate, 0);
// Using the performList syntax, you can use an array to store an OSC message
~msg = [\n_set, 2000, \gate, 0];
n.sendMsg(*~msg);
::
method::sendBundle
send a bundle with timestamp to the addr.
method::sendRaw
send a raw message without timestamp to the addr.
method::connect
open TCP connection.
argument::disconnectHandler
called when the connection is closed (either by the client or by the server).
method::disconnect
close TCP connection.
method::ip
returns the ip number (as a link::Classes/String::).
code::
n = NetAddr("localhost", 57110);
n.ip;
::
method::isLocal
Test if this NetAddr ip number matches that of one of this hosts NICs, or the loopback address.
returns::A link::Classes/Boolean::.
Examples::
code::
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;
