         The function performs the necessary initializations for the socket library through the following steps:

A check made by the global variable gbSocketInit, ensuring that initialization for sockets is performed only once, in-order to prevent resetting the socket instances already created in the global socket array (gastrSockets).
Zero initializations to the global socket array (gastrSockets), which holds the list of TCP sockets.
Registers the socket (Host Interface)hif callback function through the call to the hif_register_cb function. This facilitates handling all of the socket related functions received through interrupts from the firmware.

The function has no current implementation. An empty declaration is used to prevent errors when legacy application code is used.
As it has no effect, it can be safely removed from any application using it.

Parameters

[in]	sock	Socket ID, must hold a non negative value. A negative value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.
[in]	addr	Not used in the current implementation.
[in]	addrlen	Not used in the current implementation.

Returns

The function returns ZERO for successful operations and a negative value otherwise. The possible error values are:

SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR Indicating that the operation was successful.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG Indicating passing invalid arguments such as negative socket ID.

Asynchronous bind function associates the provided address and local port to the socket.
The function can be used with both TCP and UDP sockets. It is mandatory to call the @ref bind function before starting any UDP or TCP server operation.
Upon socket bind completion, the application will receive a @ref SOCKET_MSG_BIND message in the socket callback.

Parameters

[in]	sock	Socket ID, must hold a non negative value. A negative value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.
[in]	pstrAddr	Pointer to socket address structure "sockaddr_in" sockaddr_in
[in]	u8AddrLen	Size of the given socket address structure in bytes.

Precondition: The socket function must be called to allocate a socket before passing the socket ID to the bind function.

See Also: socket; connect; listen; accept; recv; recvfrom; send; sendto

Returns

The function returns ZERO for successful operations and a negative value otherwise. The possible error values are:

SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR Indicating that the operation was successful.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG Indicating passing invalid arguments such as negative socket ID or NULL socket address structure.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID Indicate socket bind failure.

Example

This example demonstrates the call of the bind socket operation after a successful socket operation.

NMI_API sint8 close ( SOCKET sock )

Synchronous close function, releases all the socket assigned resources.

Parameters

[in] sock Socket ID, must hold a non negative value. A negative value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.

Precondition: Sockets must be initialized through the call of the socketInit function. close is called only for valid socket identifiers created through the socket function.

Warning: If close is called while there are still pending messages (sent or received ) they will be discarded.

NMI_API sint8 connect	(	SOCKET	sock,
		struct sockaddr *	pstrAddr,
		uint8	u8AddrLen
	)

Establishes a TCP connection with a remote server.
The asynchronous connect function must be called after receiving a valid socket ID from the @ref socket function.
The application socket callback function is notified of the result of the connection attempt through the event @ref SOCKET_MSG_CONNECT,
along with a structure @ref tstrSocketConnectMsg.
If socket connection fails, the application should call @ref close().
A successful connect means the TCP session is active. The application is then required to make a call to the @ref recv function
to receive any packets transmitted by the remote server, unless the application is interrupted by a notification of socket connection
termination.

Parameters

[in]	sock	Socket ID, must hold a non negative value. A negative value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.
[in]	pstrAddr	Address of the remote server.
[in]	u8AddrLen	Size of the given socket address structure in bytes. Not currently used, implemented for BSD compatibility only.

Precondition: The socket function must be called to allocate a TCP socket before passing the socket ID to the bind function. If the socket is not bound, you do NOT have to call bind before the "connect" function.

See Also: socket recv send close

Returns

The function returns ZERO for successful operations and a negative value otherwise. The possible error values are:

SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR Indicating that the operation was successful.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG Indicating passing invalid arguments such as negative socket ID or NULL socket address structure.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID Indicate socket connect failure.

Example

The example demonstrates a TCP application, showing how the asynchronous call to the connect function is made through the main function and how the callback function handles the SOCKET_MSG_CONNECT event.

Main Function

NMI_API sint8 gethostbyname ( uint8 * pcHostName )

         Asynchronous DNS resolving function. This function uses DNS to resolve a domain name to the corresponding IP address.
         A call to this function will cause a DNS request to be sent and the response will be delivered to the DNS callback
         function registered using registerSocketCallback.

Parameters

[in] pcHostName NULL terminated string containing the domain name for the remote host. Its size must not exceed HOSTNAME_MAX_SIZE.

See Also: registerSocketCallback

Warning: Successful completion of a call to gethostbyname() does not guarantee success of the DNS request, a negative return value indicates only locally-detected errors

Returns

Returns: If the socket has been initialized and is ready. Should return 1 after socketInit and 0 after socketDeinit

References gbSocketInit.

NMI_API sint8 listen	(	SOCKET	sock,
		uint8	backlog
	)

After successfully binding a socket to an IP address and port on the system, start listening passively for incoming connections.
   The socket must be bound on a local port or the listen operation fails.
   Upon the call to the asynchronous listen function, response is received through the event @ref SOCKET_MSG_LISTEN
in the socket callback.

A successful listen means the TCP server operation is active. If a connection is accepted, then the application socket callback function is
notified with the new connected socket through the event @ref SOCKET_MSG_ACCEPT. Hence there is no need to call the @ref accept function
after calling @ref listen.

After a connection is accepted, the user is then required to call @ref recv to receive any packets transmitted by the remote host or to receive notification of socket connection
termination.

Parameters

[in]	sock	Socket ID, must hold a non negative value. A negative value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.
[in]	backlog	Not used by the current implementation.

Precondition: The bind function must be called to assign the port number and IP address to the socket before the listen operation.

See Also: bind; accept; recv; recvfrom; send; sendto

Returns

The function returns ZERO for successful operations and a negative value otherwise. The possible error values are:

SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR Indicating that the operation was successful.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG Indicating invalid arguments were passed, such as negative socket ID.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID Indicate socket listen failure.

Example

This example demonstrates the call of the listen socket operation after a successful socket operation.

NMI_API uint32 nmi_inet_addr ( char * pcIpAddr )

         Synchronous function which returns a BSD socket compliant Internet Protocol (IPv4) socket address.
         This IPv4 address in the input string parameter could either be specified as a hostname, or as a numeric string
         representation like n.n.n.n known as the IPv4 dotted-decimal format (i.e. "192.168.10.1").
         This function is used whenever an ip address needs to be set in the proper format
         (i.e. for the @ref tstrM2MIPConfig structure).

Parameters

[in] pcIpAddr A null terminated string containing the IP address in IPv4 dotted-decimal address.

Returns: Unsigned 32-bit integer representing the IP address in Network byte order (eg. "192.168.10.1" will be expressed as 0x010AA8C0).

NMI_API sint16 recv	(	SOCKET	sock,
		void *	pvRecvBuf,
		uint16	u16BufLen,
		uint32	u32Timeoutmsec
	)

An asynchronous receive function, used to retrieve data from a TCP stream.
Before calling the recv function, a successful socket connection status must have been received through any of the two socket events
[SOCKET_MSG_CONNECT] or [SOCKET_MSG_ACCEPT], from the socket callback. Hence, indicating that the socket is already connected to a remote
host.
The application receives the required data in response to this asynchronous call through the reception of the event @ref SOCKET_MSG_RECV in the
socket callback.

Receiving the SOCKET_MSG_RECV message in the callback with zero or negative buffer length indicates the following:
- @ref SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR        : Socket connection closed. The application should now call @ref close().
- @ref SOCK_ERR_CONN_ABORTED    : Socket connection aborted. The application should now call @ref close().
- @ref SOCK_ERR_TIMEOUT         : Socket receive timed out. The socket connection remains open.

Parameters

[in]	sock	Socket ID, must hold a non negative value. A negative value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.
[in]	pvRecvBuf	Pointer to a buffer that will hold the received data. The buffer is used in the recv callback to deliver the received data to the caller. The buffer must be resident in memory (heap or global buffer).
[in]	u16BufLen	The buffer size in bytes.
[in]	u32Timeoutmsec	Timeout for the recv function in milli-seconds. If the value is set to ZERO, the timeout will be set to infinite (the recv function waits forever). If the timeout period is elapsed with no data received, the socket will get a timeout error.

Precondition

The socket function must be called to allocate a TCP socket before passing the socket ID to the recv function.
The socket in a connected state is expected to receive data through the socket interface.

See Also: socket; connect; bind; listen; recvfrom; close

Returns

The function returns ZERO for successful operations and a negative value otherwise. The possible error values are:

SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR Indicating that the operation was successful.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG Indicating passing invalid arguments such as negative socket ID or NULL receive buffer.
SOCK_ERR_BUFFER_FULL Indicate socket receive failure.

Example

The example demonstrates a code snippet for the calling of the recv function in the socket callback upon notification of the accept or connect events, and the parsing of the received data when the SOCKET_MSG_RECV event is received.

switch(u8Msg)
{
case SOCKET_MSG_ACCEPT:
    {
        tstrSocketAcceptMsg *pstrAccept = (tstrSocketAcceptMsg*)pvMsg;
        if(pstrAccept->sock >= 0)
        {
            recv(pstrAccept->sock,gau8RxBuffer,sizeof(gau8RxBuffer),TEST_RECV_TIMEOUT);
        }
        else
        {
            M2M_ERR("accept\n");
        }

NMI_API sint16 recvfrom	(	SOCKET	sock,
		void *	pvRecvBuf,
		uint16	u16BufLen,
		uint32	u32Timeoutmsec
	)

Receives data from a UDP Socket.

The asynchronous recvfrom function is used to retrieve data from a UDP socket. The socket must already be bound to
a local port before a call to the recvfrom function is made (i.e message @ref SOCKET_MSG_BIND is received
with successful status in the socket callback).

Upon calling the recvfrom function with a successful return code, the application is expected to receive a notification
in the socket callback whenever a message is received through the @ref SOCKET_MSG_RECVFROM event.

Receiving the SOCKET_MSG_RECVFROM message in the callback with zero, indicates that the socket is closed.
Whereby a negative buffer length indicates one of the socket error codes such as socket timeout error @ref SOCK_ERR_TIMEOUT

The recvfrom callback can also be used to show the IP address of the remote host that sent the frame by
using the "strRemoteAddr" element in the @ref tstrSocketRecvMsg structure. (refer to the code example)

Parameters

[in]	sock	Socket ID, must hold a non negative value. A negative value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.
[in]	pvRecvBuf	Pointer to a buffer that will hold the received data. The buffer shall be used in the recv callback to deliver the received data to the caller. The buffer must be resident in memory (heap or global buffer).
[in]	u16BufLen	The buffer size in bytes.
[in]	u32TimeoutSeconds	Timeout for the recv function in milli-seconds. If the value is set to ZERO, the timeout will be set to infinite (the recv function waits forever).

Precondition

The socket function must be called to allocate a TCP socket before passing the socket ID to the recv function.
The socket corresponding to the socket ID must be successfully bound to a local port through the call to a bind function.

See Also: socket bind close

Returns

The function returns ZERO for successful operations and a negative value otherwise. The possible error values are:

SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR Indicating that the operation was successful.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG Indicating passing invalid arguments such as negative socket ID or NULL Receive buffer.
SOCK_ERR_BUFFER_FULL Indicate socket receive failure.

Example

The example demonstrates a code snippet for the calling of the recvfrom function in the socket callback upon notification of a successful bind event, and the parsing of the received data when the SOCKET_MSG_RECVFROM event is received.

switch(u8Msg)
{
case SOCKET_MSG_BIND:
    {
        tstrSocketBindMsg   *pstrBind = (tstrSocketBindMsg*)pvMsg;
        if(pstrBind != NULL)
        {
            if(pstrBind->status == 0)
            {
                recvfrom(sock, gau8SocketTestBuffer, TEST_BUFFER_SIZE, 0);
            }
            else
            {
                M2M_ERR("bind\n");
            }
        }
    }
    break;
case SOCKET_MSG_RECVFROM:
    {
        tstrSocketRecvMsg   *pstrRx = (tstrSocketRecvMsg*)pvMsg;
        if(pstrRx->s16BufferSize > 0)
        {
            //get the remote host address and port number
            uint16 u16port = pstrRx->strRemoteAddr.sin_port;
            uint32 strRemoteHostAddr = pstrRx->strRemoteAddr.sin_addr.s_addr;
            printf("Received frame with size = %d.\tHost address=%x, Port number = %d\n\n",pstrRx->s16BufferSize,strRemoteHostAddr, u16port);
            ret = recvfrom(sock,gau8SocketTestBuffer,sizeof(gau8SocketTestBuffer),TEST_RECV_TIMEOUT);
        }
        else
        {
            printf("Socket recv Error: %d\n",pstrRx->s16BufferSize);
            ret = close(sock);
        }
    }
    break;
default:
    break;
}

NMI_API void registerSocketCallback	(	tpfAppSocketCb	pfAppSocketCb,
		tpfAppResolveCb	pfAppResolveCb
	)

Register two callback functions one for asynchronous socket events and the other one for DNS callback registering function.
The registered callback functions are used to retrieve information in response to the asynchronous socket functions called.

Parameters

[in]	socket_cb	Assignment of callback function to the global callback tpfAppSocketCb gpfAppSocketCb. Delivers socket messages to the host application. In response to the asynchronous function calls, such as bind listen accept connect
[in]	resolve_cb	Assignment of callback function to the global callback tpfAppResolveCb gpfAppResolveCb. Used for DNS resolving functionality. The DNS resolving technique is determined by the application registering the callback. NULL is assigned when DNS resolution is not required.

Returns: void

Remarks: If any of the socket functionality is not to be used, NULL is passed in as a parameter. It must be invoked after socketInit and before other socket layer operations.

Example

This example demonstrates the use of the registerSocketCallback to register a socket callback function with DNS resolution CB set to null for a simple UDP server example.

sint8 secure ( SOCKET sock )

Converts an (insecure) TCP connection with a remote server into a secure TLS-over-TCP connection.
It may be called after both of the following:\n
- a TCP socket has been created by the @ref socket function, with u8Config parameter set to
@ref SOCKET_CONFIG_SSL_DELAY.\n
- a successful connection has been made on the socket via the @ref connect function.
This is an asynchronous API; the application socket callback function is notified of the result
of the attempt to make the connection secure through the event @ref SOCKET_MSG_SECURE, along
with a structure @ref tstrSocketConnectMsg.
If the attempt to make the connection secure fails, the application should call @ref close().

Parameters

[in] sock Socket ID, corresponding to a connected TCP socket.

Precondition: socket and connect must be called to connect a TCP socket before passing the socket ID to this function. Value SOCKET_CONFIG_SSL_DELAY must have been set in the u8Config parameter that was passed to socket.

See Also: socket connect

Returns

The function returns SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR for successful operations and a negative error value otherwise. The possible error values are:

SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG Indicating passing invalid arguments such as negative socket ID.
SOCK_ERR_INVALID Indicating failure to process the request.

NMI_API sint16 send	(	SOCKET	sock,
		void *	pvSendBuffer,
		uint16	u16SendLength,
		uint16	flags
	)

Asynchronous sending function, used to send data on a TCP/UDP socket.

Called by the application code when there is outgoing data available required to be sent on a specific socket handler.
The only difference between this function and the similar @ref sendto function, is the type of socket the data is sent on and the parameters passed in.
@ref send function is most commonly called for sockets in a connected state.
After the data is sent, the socket callback function registered using registerSocketCallback(), is expected to receive an event of type
@ref SOCKET_MSG_SEND holding information containing the number of data bytes sent.

Parameters

[in]	sock	Socket ID, must hold a non negative value. A negative value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.
[in]	pvSendBuffer	Pointer to a buffer holding data to be transmitted.
[in]	u16SendLength	The buffer size in bytes.
[in]	u16Flags	Not used in the current implementation.

Precondition: Sockets must be initialized using socketInit.
For TCP Socket:
Must use a successfully connected Socket (so that the intended recipient address is known ahead of sending the data). Hence this function is expected to be called after a successful socket connect operation(in client case or accept in the the server case).
For UDP Socket:
UDP sockets most commonly use sendto function, where the destination address is defined. However, in-order to send outgoing data using the send function, at least one successful call must be made to the sendto function before consecutive calls to the send function, to ensure that the destination address is saved in the firmware.

See Also: socketInit recv sendto socket connect accept sendto

Warning: u16SendLength must not exceed SOCKET_BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH.
Use a valid socket identifier through the prior call to the socket function. Must use a valid buffer pointer. Successful completion of a call to send() does not guarantee delivery of the message, A negative return value indicates only locally-detected errors

Returns: The function shall return SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR for successful operation and a negative value otherwise.

		void *	pvSendBuffer,
		uint16	u16SendLength,
		uint16	flags,
		struct sockaddr *	pstrDestAddr,
		uint8	u8AddrLen
	)

Asynchronous sending function, used to send data on a UDP socket. Called by the application code when there is data required to be sent on a UDP socket.

The application code is expected to receive data from a successfully bound socket node. The only difference between this function and the similar send function, is the type of socket the data is received on. This function works only with UDP sockets. After the data is sent, the socket callback function registered using registerSocketCallback(), is expected to receive an event of type SOCKET_MSG_SENDTO.

Parameters

[in]	sock	Socket ID, must hold a non negative value. A negative value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.
[in]	pvSendBuffer	Pointer to a buffer holding data to be transmitted. A NULL value will return a socket error SOCK_ERR_INVALID_ARG. Indicating that an invalid argument is passed in.
[in]	u16SendLength	The buffer size in bytes. It must not exceed SOCKET_BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH.
[in]	flags	Not used in the current implementation
[in]	pstrDestAddr	The destination address.
[in]	u8AddrLen	Destination address length in bytes. Not used in the current implementation, only included for BSD compatibility.

Precondition: Sockets must be initialized using socketInit.

See Also: socketInit recvfrom sendto socket connect accept send

Warning: u16SendLength must not exceed SOCKET_BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH.
Use a valid socket (returned from socket). A valid buffer pointer must be used (not NULL).
Successful completion of a call to sendto does not guarantee delivery of the message, A negative return value indicates only locally-detected errors.

Returns: The function returns SOCK_ERR_NO_ERROR for successful operation and a negative value (indicating the error) otherwise.

NMI_API SOCKET socket	(	uint16	u16Domain,
		uint8	u8Type,
		uint8	u8Config
	)

Synchronous socket allocation function based on the specified socket type. Created sockets are non-blocking and their possible types are either TCP or a UDP sockets.
The maximum allowed number of TCP sockets is @ref TCP_SOCK_MAX sockets while the maximum number of UDP sockets that can be created simultaneously is @ref UDP_SOCK_MAX sockets.

Parameters

[in]	u16Domain	Socket family. The only allowed value is AF_INET (IPv4.0) for TCP/UDP sockets.
[in]	u8Type	Socket type. Allowed values are: SOCK_STREAM SOCK_DGRAM SOCK_RAW
[in]	u8Config	Used to specify the socket configuration. The interpretation of this parameter depends on the setting of u8Type. When u8Type is SOCK_STREAM the following configuration values are defined: SOCKET_CONFIG_SSL_OFF: The socket is not secured by TLS. SOCKET_CONFIG_SSL_ON: The socket is secured by TLS. SOCKET_CONFIG_SSL_DELAY: The socket is not secured by TLS, but may be secured later, by calling secure. When u8Type is SOCK_RAW, the following configuration values are defined: SOCKET_CONFIG_IPPROTO_RAW: The socket is to be used for raw ICMP frames. For all values of u8Type, the following configuration values are defined: SOCKET_CONFIG_DEFAULT: The default configuration. All other configuration values are reserved and should not be used.

Precondition: The socketInit function must be called once at the beginning of the application to initialize the socket handler. before any call to the socket function can be made.

See Also: connect secure bind listen accept recv recvfrom send sendto close setsockopt getsockopt

Returns: On successful socket creation, a non-blocking socket type is created and a socket ID is returned In case of failure the function returns a negative value, identifying one of the socket error codes defined. For example: SOCK_ERR_INVALID for invalid argument or SOCK_ERR_MAX_TCP_SOCK if the number of TCP allocated sockets exceeds the number of available sockets.

Remarks: The socket function must be called before any other related socket functions "e.g. send, recv, close ..etc"

Example

This example demonstrates the use of the socket function to allocate the socket, returning the socket handler to be used for other socket operations. Socket creation is dependent on the socket type.

UDP example

SOCKET UdpServerSocket = -1;
UdpServerSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOCKET_CONFIG_DEFAULT);

NMI_API void socketDeinit ( void )

Socket Layer De-initialization.

The function performs the necessary cleanup for the socket library static data It must be invoked only after all desired socket operations have been performed on any active sockets.

References gbSocketInit, gpfAppResolveCb, gpfAppSocketCb, hif_register_cb(), m2m_memset(), M2M_REQ_GROUP_IP, MAX_SOCKET, and NULL.

NMI_API void socketInit ( void )

The function performs the necessary initialization for the socket library through the following steps:
- A check made by the global variable gbSocketInit, ensuring that initialization for sockets is performed only once,
 in-order to prevent resetting the socket instances already created in the global socket array (gastrSockets).
- Zero initializations to the global socket array (gastrSockets), which holds the list of TCP sockets.
- Registers the socket (Host Interface)hif callback function through the call to the hif_register_cb function.
   This facilitates handling all of the socket related functions received through interrupts from the firmware.

Returns: void

Remarks: This initialization function must be invoked before any socket operation is performed. No error codes from this initialization function since the socket array is statically allocated based on the maximum number of sockets MAX_SOCKET which is tuned to the systems capability.

Example

This example demonstrates the use of the socketInit for socket initialization for an mqtt chat application.
