the transport is up and can transmit packets

DOWN 

the transport is temporarily down, and is being recovered

CLOSING 

the transport is being closed gracefully, either by the peer or by a call to close()

◆ connectFaceClosedSignal()

void nfd::face::connectFaceClosedSignal ( Face face,
const std::function< void()> &  f

invokes a callback when the face is closed

Parameters
facethe face
fthe callback to be invoked when the face enters CLOSED state

This function connects a callback to the afterStateChange signal on the face, and invokes f when the state becomes CLOSED.
