◆ Face() [1/5]

ndn::Face::Face ( shared_ptr< Transport > transport = nullptr )

explicit

Create Face using given transport (or default transport if omitted)

Parameters

transport the transport for lower layer communication. If nullptr, a default transport will be used. The default transport is determined from a FaceUri in NDN_CLIENT_TRANSPORT environ, a FaceUri in configuration file 'transport' key, or UnixTransport.

Exceptions

ConfigFile::Error transport is nullptr, and the configuration file cannot be parsed or specifies an unsupported protocol

Note: shared_ptr is passed by value because ownership is shared with this class

Definition at line 65 of file face.cpp.

Usage examples:

Face face1;
Face face2(face1.getIoService());
// Now the following ensures that events on both faces are processed
face1.processEvents();
// or face1.getIoService().run();

or

boost::asio::io_service ioService;
Face face1(ioService);
Face face2(ioService);
ioService.run();

Parameters

ioService A reference to boost::io_service object that should control all IO operations.

◆ setInterestFilter() [1/3]

const RegisteredPrefixId * ndn::Face::setInterestFilter	(	const InterestFilter &	interestFilter,
		const InterestCallback &	onInterest,
		const RegisterPrefixFailureCallback &	onFailure,
		const security::SigningInfo &	signingInfo = `security::SigningInfo()`,
		uint64_t	flags = `nfd::ROUTE_FLAG_CHILD_INHERIT`
	)

Set InterestFilter to dispatch incoming matching interest to onInterest callback and register the filtered prefix with the connected NDN forwarder.

This version of setInterestFilter combines setInterestFilter and registerPrefix operations and is intended to be used when only one filter for the same prefix needed to be set. When multiple names sharing the same prefix should be dispatched to different callbacks, use one registerPrefix call, followed (in onSuccess callback) by a series of setInterestFilter calls.

Parameters

interestFilter	Interest filter (prefix part will be registered with the forwarder)
onInterest	A callback to be called when a matching interest is received
onFailure	A callback to be called when prefixRegister command fails
flags	(optional) RIB flags
signingInfo	(optional) Signing parameters. When omitted, a default parameters used in the signature will be used.

Returns: Opaque registered prefix ID which can be used with unsetInterestFilter or removeRegisteredPrefix

◆ setInterestFilter() [2/3]

const RegisteredPrefixId * ndn::Face::setInterestFilter	(	const InterestFilter &	interestFilter,
		const InterestCallback &	onInterest,

		const RegisterPrefixFailureCallback &	onFailure,
		const security::SigningInfo &	signingInfo = `security::SigningInfo()`,
		uint64_t	flags = `nfd::ROUTE_FLAG_CHILD_INHERIT`
	)

Set InterestFilter to dispatch incoming matching interest to onInterest callback and register the filtered prefix with the connected NDN forwarder.

This version of setInterestFilter combines setInterestFilter and registerPrefix operations and is intended to be used when only one filter for the same prefix needed to be set. When multiple names sharing the same prefix should be dispatched to different callbacks, use one registerPrefix call, followed (in onSuccess callback) by a series of setInterestFilter calls.

Parameters

interestFilter	Interest filter (prefix part will be registered with the forwarder)
onInterest	A callback to be called when a matching interest is received
onSuccess	A callback to be called when prefixRegister command succeeds
onFailure	A callback to be called when prefixRegister command fails
flags	(optional) RIB flags
signingInfo	(optional) Signing parameters. When omitted, a default parameters used in the signature will be used.

Returns: Opaque registered prefix ID which can be used with unsetInterestFilter or removeRegisteredPrefix

◆ setInterestFilter() [3/3]

const InterestFilterId * ndn::Face::setInterestFilter	(	const InterestFilter &	interestFilter,
		const InterestCallback &	onInterest
	)

Set InterestFilter to dispatch incoming matching interest to onInterest callback.

Parameters

interestFilter	Interest
onInterest	A callback to be called when a matching interest is received

This method modifies library's FIB only, and does not register the prefix with the forwarder. It will always succeed. To register prefix with the forwarder, use registerPrefix, or use the setInterestFilter overload taking two callbacks.

Returns: Opaque interest filter ID which can be used with unsetInterestFilter

Definition at line 225 of file face.cpp.

References IO_CAPTURE_WEAK_IMPL, and IO_CAPTURE_WEAK_IMPL_END.

◆ registerPrefix()

const RegisteredPrefixId * ndn::Face::registerPrefix	(	const Name &	prefix,

		const RegisterPrefixFailureCallback &	onFailure,
		const security::SigningInfo &	signingInfo = `security::SigningInfo()`,
		uint64_t	flags = `nfd::ROUTE_FLAG_CHILD_INHERIT`
	)

Register prefix with the connected NDN forwarder.

This method only modifies forwarder's RIB and does not associate any onInterest callbacks. Use setInterestFilter method to dispatch incoming Interests to the right callbacks.

Parameters

prefix	A prefix to register with the connected NDN forwarder
onSuccess	A callback to be called when prefixRegister command succeeds
onFailure	A callback to be called when prefixRegister command fails
signingInfo	(optional) Signing parameters. When omitted, a default parameters used in the signature will be used.
flags	Prefix registration flags

Returns: The registered prefix ID which can be used with unregisterPrefix

◆ unsetInterestFilter() [1/2]

void ndn::Face::unsetInterestFilter ( const RegisteredPrefixId * registeredPrefixId )

Remove the registered prefix entry with the registeredPrefixId.

This does not affect another registered prefix with a different registeredPrefixId, even it if has the same prefix name. If there is no entry with the registeredPrefixId, do nothing.

unsetInterestFilter will use the same credentials as original setInterestFilter/registerPrefix command

Parameters

registeredPrefixId The ID returned from registerPrefix

◆ unsetInterestFilter() [2/2]

void ndn::Face::unsetInterestFilter ( const InterestFilterId * interestFilterId )

Remove previously set InterestFilter from library's FIB.

This method always succeeds and will NOT send any request to the connected forwarder.

Parameters

interestFilterId The ID returned from setInterestFilter.

◆ unregisterPrefix()

void ndn::Face::unregisterPrefix	(	const RegisteredPrefixId *	registeredPrefixId,

	)

Unregister prefix from RIB.

unregisterPrefix will use the same credentials as original setInterestFilter/registerPrefix command

If registeredPrefixId was obtained using setInterestFilter, the corresponding InterestFilter will be unset too.

Parameters

registeredPrefixId	The ID returned from registerPrefix

◆ put() [1/2]

void ndn::Face::put ( Data data )

Publish data packet.

Parameters

data	the Data; a copy will be made, so that the caller is not required to maintain the argument unchanged

This method can be called to satisfy incoming Interests, or to add Data packet into the cache of the local NDN forwarder if forwarder is configured to accept unsolicited Data.

◆ processEvents()

void ndn::Face::processEvents	(	time::milliseconds	timeout = `time::milliseconds::zero()`,
		bool	keepThread = `false`
	)

inline

Process any data to receive or call timeout callbacks.

This call will block forever (default timeout == 0) to process IO on the face. To exit, one expected to call face.shutdown() from one of the callback methods.

If positive timeout is specified, then processEvents will exit after this timeout, if not stopped earlier with face.shutdown() or when all active events finish. The call can be called repeatedly, if desired.

If negative timeout is specified, then processEvents will not block and process only pending events.

Parameters

timeout	maximum time to block the thread
keepThread	Keep thread in a blocked state (in event processing), even when there are no outstanding events (e.g., no Interest/Data is expected)

Note: This may throw an exception for reading data or in the callback for processing the data. If you call this from an main event loop, you may want to catch and log/disregard all exceptions.

Exceptions

OversizedPacketError encoded packet size exceeds MAX_NDN_PACKET_SIZE

Definition at line 442 of file face.hpp.

References doProcessEvents().

◆ shutdown()

void ndn::Face::shutdown ( )

Shutdown face operations.

This method cancels all pending operations and closes connection to NDN Forwarder.

Note that this method does not stop IO service and if the same IO service is shared between multiple Faces or with other IO objects (e.g., Scheduler).
