Typical client applications should use the high level interface provided by tcp_connect/3 which avoids resource leaking if a step in the process fails, and can be hooked to support proxies. For example:
setup_call_cleanup( tcp_connect(Host:Port, StreamPair, []), talk(StreamPair), close(StreamPair))
If SocketId is an AF_UNIX socket (see unix_domain_socket/1), Address is an atom or string denoting a file name.

Network socket (TCP and UDP) library
The library(socket) provides TCP and UDP inet-domain sockets from SWI-Prolog, both client and server-side communication. The interface of this library is very close to the Unix socket interface, also supported by the MS-Windows winsock API. SWI-Prolog applications that wish to communicate with multiple sources have three options:
socket
which synchronises socket events in the GUI event-loop.Client applications
Using this library to establish a TCP connection to a server is as simple as opening a file. See also http_open/3.
To deal with timeouts and multiple connections, threads, wait_for_input/3 and/or non-blocking streams (see tcp_fcntl/3) can be used.
Server applications
The typical sequence for generating a server application is given below. To close the server, use close/1 on AcceptFd.
There are various options for <dispatch>. The most commonly used option is to start a Prolog thread to handle the connection. Alternatively, input from multiple clients can be handled in a single thread by listening to these clients using wait_for_input/3. Finally, on Unix systems, we can use fork/1 to handle the connection in a new process. Note that fork/1 and threads do not cooperate well. Combinations can be realised but require good understanding of POSIX thread and fork-semantics.
Below is the typical example using a thread. Note the use of setup_call_cleanup/3 to guarantee that all resources are reclaimed, also in case of failure or exceptions.
Socket exceptions
Errors that are trapped by the low-level library are mapped to an exception of the shape below. In this term, Code is a lower case atom that corresponds to the C macro name, e.g.,
epipe
for a broken pipe. Message is the human readable string for the error code returned by the OS or the same as Code if the OS does not provide this functionality. Note that Code is derived from a static set of macros that may or may not be defines for the target OS. If the macro name is not known, Code isERROR_nnn
, where nnn is an integer.Note that on Windows Code is a
wsa*
code which makes it hard to write portable code that handles specific socket errors. Even on POSIX systems the exact set of errors produced by the network stack is not defined.TCP socket predicates
