class PacketSocket | ||||
| class, Network | Plugin version: 2.6 | Fr, 30. Aug 2002 | ||
| Mac OS Classic: Works. | Mac OS Carbon: Works. | Windows: Works. | ||
|
Function:
An extension to the socket class for easy sending packets through the net. | ||||
|
Notes:
Subclass of Socket. A packet is made like this: +0: Size of data block +4: 4 byte code string +8: 4 byte for ID +12: variable data. The numbers are send in low endian format so this is crossplatform. This socket subclass can be easily made in Realbasic code itself. I did it for several of my applications, so if you like it decide between making it yourself or using this one which may even be faster, because it's written in C? This class is only available in RB 4.0 or newer, because it crashes on RB 3.5. | ||||
