#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Set custom network buffer pools for context send operations.

Set custom network buffer pools used by the IP stack to allocate network buffers used by the context when sending data to the network. Using dedicated buffers may help make send operations on a given context more reliable, e.g. not be subject to buffer starvation due to operations on other network contexts. Buffer pools are set per context, but several contexts may share the same buffers. Note that there's no support for per-context custom receive packet pools.

Parameters

context	Context that will use the given net_buf pools.
tx_pool	Pointer to the function that will return TX pool to the caller. The TX pool is used when sending data to network. There is one TX net_pkt for each network packet that is sent.

Typedef Documentation

◆ net_context_cb_t

typedef void(* net_context_cb_t) (struct net_context *context, void *user_data)

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Callback used while iterating over network contexts.

Parameters

context	A valid pointer on current network context
user_data	A valid pointer on some user data or NULL

◆ net_context_connect_cb_t

typedef void(* net_context_connect_cb_t) (struct net_context *context, int status, void *user_data)

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Connection callback.

The connect callback is called after a connection is being established. For TCP connections, this callback is called by RX thread so its stack and execution context is used here. The callback is called after the TCP connection was established or if the connection failed. Keep processing in the callback minimal to reduce the time spent blocked while handling packets. For UDP connections, this callback is called immediately by net_context_connect() function. UDP is a connectionless protocol so the connection can be thought of being established immediately.

Parameters

context	The context to use.
status	Status of the connection establishment. This is 0 if the connection was established successfully, <0 if there was an error.
user_data	The user data given in net_context_connect() call.

◆ net_context_recv_cb_t

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Network data receive callback.

The recv callback is called after a network data packet is received. This callback is called by RX thread so its stack and execution context is used here. Keep processing in the callback minimal to reduce the time spent blocked while handling packets.

Parameters

context	The context to use.
pkt	Network buffer that is received. If the pkt is not NULL, then the callback will own the buffer and it needs to unref the pkt as soon as it has finished working with it. On EOF, pkt will be NULL.
ip_hdr	a pointer to relevant IP (v4 or v6) header.
proto_hdr	a pointer to relevant protocol (udp or tcp) header.
status	Value is set to 0 if some data or the connection is at EOF, <0 if there was an error receiving data, in this case the pkt parameter is set to NULL.
user_data	The user data given in net_recv() call.

◆ net_context_send_cb_t

typedef void(* net_context_send_cb_t) (struct net_context *context, int status, void *user_data)

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Network data send callback.

The send callback is called after a network data packet is sent. This callback is called by TX thread so its stack and execution context is used here. Keep processing in the callback minimal to reduce the time spent blocked while handling packets.

Parameters

context	The context to use.
status	Value is set to >= 0: amount of data that was sent, < 0 there was an error sending data.
user_data	The user data given in net_send() call.

◆ net_pkt_get_pool_func_t

typedef void(* net_tcp_accept_cb_t) (struct net_context *new_context, struct sockaddr *addr, socklen_t addrlen, int status, void *user_data)

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Accept callback.

The accept callback is called after a successful connection was established or if there was an error while we were waiting for a connection attempt. This callback is called by RX thread so its stack and execution context is used here. Keep processing in the callback minimal to reduce the time spent blocked while handling packets.

Parameters

new_context	The context to use.
addr	The peer address.
addrlen	Length of the peer address.
status	The status code, 0 on success, < 0 otherwise

Function Documentation

◆ net_context_accept()

int net_context_accept	(	struct net_context *	context,
		net_tcp_accept_cb_t	cb,
		k_timeout_t	timeout,
		void *	user_data )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Accept a network connection attempt.

Accept a connection being established. This function will return immediately if the timeout is set to K_NO_WAIT. In this case the context will call the supplied callback when ever there is a connection established to this context. This is "a register handler and forget" type of call (async). If the timeout is set to K_FOREVER, the function will wait until the connection is established. Timeout value > 0, will wait as many ms. After the connection is established a caller-supplied callback is called. The callback is called even if timeout was set to K_FOREVER, the callback is called before this function will return in this case. The callback is not called if the timeout expires. This is similar as BSD accept() function.

Parameters

context	The context to use.
cb	Caller-supplied callback function.
timeout	Timeout for the connection. Possible values are K_FOREVER, K_NO_WAIT, >0.
user_data	Caller-supplied user data.

Returns: 0 if ok, < 0 if error

◆ net_context_bind()

int net_context_bind	(	struct net_context *	context,

Assign a socket a local address.

This is similar as BSD bind() function.

Parameters

context	The context to be assigned.
addr	Address to assigned.
addrlen	Length of the address.

Returns: 0 if ok, < 0 if error

◆ net_context_bind_iface()

static void net_context_bind_iface	(	struct net_context *	context,

inlinestatic

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Bind network interface to this context.

This function binds network interface to this context.

Parameters

◆ net_context_connect()

int net_context_connect	(	struct net_context *	context,
		const struct sockaddr *	addr,
		socklen_t	addrlen,
		net_context_connect_cb_t	cb,
		k_timeout_t	timeout,
		void *	user_data )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Create a network connection.

The net_context_connect function creates a network connection to the host specified by addr. After the connection is established, the user-supplied callback (cb) is executed. cb is called even if the timeout was set to K_FOREVER. cb is not called if the timeout expires. For datagram sockets (SOCK_DGRAM), this function only sets the peer address. This function is similar to the BSD connect() function.

Parameters

context	The network context.
addr	The peer address to connect to.
addrlen	Peer address length.
cb	Callback function. Set to NULL if not required.
timeout	The timeout value for the connection. Possible values: K_NO_WAIT: this function will return immediately, K_FOREVER: this function will block until the connection is established, >0: this function will wait the specified ms.
user_data	Data passed to the callback function.

Returns: 0 on success.; -EINVAL if an invalid parameter is passed as an argument.; -ENOTSUP if the operation is not supported or implemented.; -ETIMEDOUT if the connect operation times out.

◆ net_context_is_proxy_enabled()

static bool net_context_is_proxy_enabled ( struct net_context * context )

inlinestatic

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Is socks proxy support enabled or disabled for this context.

This function returns current socks proxy status for this context.

Parameters

context Network context.

Returns: True if socks proxy is enabled for this context, False otherwise

◆ net_context_is_used()

static bool net_context_is_used ( struct net_context * context )

inlinestatic

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Is this context used or not.

Parameters

context Network context.

Returns: True if the context is currently in use, False otherwise.

◆ net_context_listen()

int net_context_listen	(	struct net_context *	context,
		int	backlog )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Mark the context as a listening one.

This is similar as BSD listen() function.

Parameters

context	The context to use.
backlog	The size of the pending connections backlog.

Returns: 0 if ok, < 0 if error

◆ net_context_port_in_use()

bool net_context_port_in_use	(	enum net_ip_protocol	ip_proto,
		uint16_t	local_port,
		const struct sockaddr *	local_addr )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Check if a port is in use (bound)

This function checks if a port is bound with respect to the specified ip_proto and local_addr.

Parameters

ip_proto	the IP protocol
local_port	the port to check
local_addr	the network address

Returns: true if the port is bound; false if the port is not bound

◆ net_context_put()

int net_context_put ( struct net_context * context )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Close and unref a network context.

This releases the context. It is not possible to send or receive data via this context after this call. This is similar as BSD shutdown() function. For legacy compatibility, this function will implicitly decrement the reference count and possibly destroy the context either now or when it reaches a final state.

Parameters

context The context to be closed.

Returns: 0 if ok, < 0 if error

◆ net_context_recv()

int net_context_recv	(	struct net_context *	context,
		net_context_recv_cb_t	cb,
		k_timeout_t	timeout,
		void *	user_data )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Receive network data from a peer specified by context.

This function can be used to register a callback function that is called by the network stack when network data has been received for this context. As this function registers a callback, then there is no need to call this function multiple times if timeout is set to K_NO_WAIT. If callback function or user data changes, then the function can be called multiple times to register new values. This function will return immediately if the timeout is set to K_NO_WAIT. If the timeout is set to K_FOREVER, the function will wait until the network buffer is received. Timeout value > 0 will wait as many ms. After the network buffer is received, a caller-supplied callback is called. The callback is called even if timeout was set to K_FOREVER, the callback is called before this function will return in this case. The callback is not called if the timeout expires. The timeout functionality can be compiled out if synchronous behavior is not needed. The sync call logic requires some memory that can be saved if only async way of call is used. If CONFIG_NET_CONTEXT_SYNC_RECV is not set, then the timeout parameter value is ignored. This is similar as BSD recv() function. Note that net_context_bind() should be called before net_context_recv(). Default random port number is assigned to local port. Only bind() will update connection information from context. If recv() is called before bind() call, it may refuse to bind to a context which already has a connection associated.

Parameters

context	The network context to use.
cb	Caller-supplied callback function.
timeout	Caller-supplied timeout. Possible values are K_FOREVER, K_NO_WAIT, >0.
user_data	Caller-supplied user data.

Returns: 0 if ok, < 0 if error

◆ net_context_ref()

int net_context_ref ( struct net_context * context )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Take a reference count to a net_context, preventing destruction.

Network contexts are not recycled until their reference count reaches zero. Note that this does not prevent any "close" behavior that results from errors or net_context_put. It simply prevents the context from being recycled for further use.

Parameters

context The context on which to increment the reference count

Returns: The new reference count

◆ net_context_send()

int net_context_send	(	struct net_context *	context,
		const void *	buf,
		size_t	len,
		net_context_send_cb_t	cb,
		k_timeout_t	timeout,
		void *	user_data )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Send data to a peer.

This function can be used to send network data to a peer connection. After the network buffer is sent, a caller-supplied callback is called. Note that the callback might be called after this function has returned. For context of type SOCK_DGRAM, the destination address must have been set by the call to net_context_connect(). This is similar as BSD send() function.

Parameters

context	The network context to use.
buf	The data buffer to send
len	Length of the buffer
cb	Caller-supplied callback function.
timeout	Currently this value is not used.
user_data	Caller-supplied user data.

Returns: 0 if ok, < 0 if error

◆ net_context_sendmsg()

int net_context_sendmsg	(	struct net_context *	context,
		const struct msghdr *	msghdr,
		int	flags,
		net_context_send_cb_t	cb,
		k_timeout_t	timeout,
		void *	user_data )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Send data in iovec to a peer specified in msghdr struct.

This function has similar semantics as Posix sendmsg() call. For unconnected socket, the msg_name field in msghdr must be set. For connected socket the msg_name should be set to NULL, and msg_namelen to 0. After the network buffer is sent, a caller-supplied callback is called. Note that the callback might be called after this function has returned.

Parameters

context	The network context to use.
msghdr	The data to send
flags	Flags for the sending.
cb	Caller-supplied callback function.
timeout	Currently this value is not used.
user_data	Caller-supplied user data.

Returns: numbers of bytes sent on success, a negative errno otherwise

◆ net_context_sendto()

int net_context_sendto	(	struct net_context *	context,
		const void *	buf,
		size_t	len,
		const struct sockaddr *	dst_addr,
		socklen_t	addrlen,
		net_context_send_cb_t	cb,
		k_timeout_t	timeout,
		void *	user_data )

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Send data to a peer specified by address.

This function can be used to send network data to a peer specified by address. This variant can only be used for datagram connections of type SOCK_DGRAM. After the network buffer is sent, a caller-supplied callback is called. Note that the callback might be called after this function has returned. This is similar as BSD sendto() function.

Parameters

context	The network context to use.
buf	The data buffer to send
len	Length of the buffer
dst_addr	Destination address.
addrlen	Length of the address.
cb	Caller-supplied callback function.
timeout	Currently this value is not used.
user_data	Caller-supplied user data.

Returns: numbers of bytes sent on success, a negative errno otherwise

#include <zephyr/net/net_context.h>

Update TCP receive window for context.

This function should be used by an application which doesn't fully process incoming data in its receive callback, but for example, queues it. In this case, receive callback should decrease the window (call this function with a negative value) by the size of queued data, and function(s) which dequeue data - with positive value corresponding to the dequeued size. For example, if receive callback gets a packet with the data size of 256 and queues it, it should call this function with delta of -256. If a function extracts 10 bytes of the queued data, it should call it with delta of 10.

Parameters

context	The TCP network context to use.
delta	Size, in bytes, by which to increase TCP receive window (negative value to decrease).

Returns: 0 if ok, < 0 if error
