Typedef Documentation

◆ mbedtls_net_context

typedef struct mbedtls_net_context mbedtls_net_context

Wrapper type for sockets.

Currently backed by just a file descriptor, but might be more in the future (eg two file descriptors for combined IPv4 + IPv6 support, or additional structures for hand-made UDP demultiplexing).

Function Documentation

◆ mbedtls_net_init()

void mbedtls_net_init ( mbedtls_net_context * ctx )

Initialize a context Just makes the context ready to be used or freed safely.

Parameters

ctx	Context to initialize

◆ mbedtls_net_connect()

int mbedtls_net_connect	(	mbedtls_net_context *	ctx,
		const char *	host,
		const char *	port,
		int	proto
	)

Initiate a connection with host:port in the given protocol.

Parameters

ctx	Socket to use
host	Host to connect to
port	Port to connect to
proto	Protocol: MBEDTLS_NET_PROTO_TCP or MBEDTLS_NET_PROTO_UDP

Returns: 0 if successful, or one of: MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_SOCKET_FAILED, MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_UNKNOWN_HOST, MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_CONNECT_FAILED

Note: Sets the socket in connected mode even with UDP.

◆ mbedtls_net_bind()

int mbedtls_net_bind	(	mbedtls_net_context *	ctx,
		const char *	bind_ip,
		const char *	port,
		int	proto
	)

Create a receiving socket on bind_ip:port in the chosen protocol.

If bind_ip == NULL, all interfaces are bound.

Parameters

ctx	Socket to use
bind_ip	IP to bind to, can be NULL
port	Port number to use
proto	Protocol: MBEDTLS_NET_PROTO_TCP or MBEDTLS_NET_PROTO_UDP

Returns: 0 if successful, or one of: MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_SOCKET_FAILED, MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_BIND_FAILED, MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_LISTEN_FAILED

Note: Regardless of the protocol, opens the sockets and binds it. In addition, make the socket listening if protocol is TCP.

◆ mbedtls_net_accept()

int mbedtls_net_accept	(	mbedtls_net_context *	bind_ctx,
		mbedtls_net_context *	client_ctx,
		void *	client_ip,
		size_t	buf_size,
		size_t *	ip_len
	)

Accept a connection from a remote client.

Parameters

bind_ctx	Relevant socket
client_ctx	Will contain the connected client socket
client_ip	Will contain the client IP address, can be NULL
buf_size	Size of the client_ip buffer
ip_len	Will receive the size of the client IP written, can be NULL if client_ip is null

Returns: 0 if successful, or MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_ACCEPT_FAILED, or MBEDTLS_ERR_NET_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL if buf_size is too small, MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ if bind_fd was set to non-blocking and accept() would block.

◆ mbedtls_net_poll()

int mbedtls_net_poll	(	mbedtls_net_context *	ctx,
		uint32_t	rw,
		uint32_t	timeout
	)

Check and wait for the context to be ready for read/write.

Parameters

ctx	Socket to check
rw	Bitflag composed of MBEDTLS_NET_POLL_READ and MBEDTLS_NET_POLL_WRITE specifying the events to wait for: If MBEDTLS_NET_POLL_READ is set, the function will return as soon as the net context is available for reading. If MBEDTLS_NET_POLL_WRITE is set, the function will return as soon as the net context is available for writing.
timeout	Maximal amount of time to wait before returning, in milliseconds. If `timeout` is zero, the function returns immediately. If `timeout` is -1u, the function blocks potentially indefinitely.

Returns: Bitmask composed of MBEDTLS_NET_POLL_READ/WRITE on success or timeout, or a negative return code otherwise.

◆ mbedtls_net_set_block()

int mbedtls_net_set_block ( mbedtls_net_context * ctx )

Set the socket blocking.

Parameters

ctx	Socket to set

Returns: 0 if successful, or a non-zero error code

◆ mbedtls_net_set_nonblock()

int mbedtls_net_set_nonblock ( mbedtls_net_context * ctx )

Set the socket non-blocking.

Parameters

ctx	Socket to set

Returns: 0 if successful, or a non-zero error code

◆ mbedtls_net_usleep()

void mbedtls_net_usleep ( unsigned long usec )

Portable usleep helper.

Parameters

usec	Amount of microseconds to sleep

Note: Real amount of time slept will not be less than select()'s timeout granularity (typically, 10ms).

◆ mbedtls_net_recv()

int mbedtls_net_recv	(	void *	ctx,
		unsigned char *	buf,
		size_t	len
	)

Read at most 'len' characters.

If no error occurs, the actual amount read is returned.

Parameters

ctx	Socket
buf	The buffer to write to
len	Maximum length of the buffer

Returns: the number of bytes received, or a non-zero error code; with a non-blocking socket, MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ indicates read() would block.

◆ mbedtls_net_send()

int mbedtls_net_send	(	void *	ctx,
		const unsigned char *	buf,
		size_t	len
	)

Write at most 'len' characters.

If no error occurs, the actual amount read is returned.

Parameters

ctx	Socket
buf	The buffer to read from
len	The length of the buffer

Returns: the number of bytes sent, or a non-zero error code; with a non-blocking socket, MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_WRITE indicates write() would block.

◆ mbedtls_net_recv_timeout()

int mbedtls_net_recv_timeout	(	void *	ctx,
		unsigned char *	buf,
		size_t	len,
		uint32_t	timeout
	)

Read at most 'len' characters, blocking for at most 'timeout' seconds.

If no error occurs, the actual amount read is returned.

Parameters

ctx	Socket
buf	The buffer to write to
len	Maximum length of the buffer
timeout	Maximum number of milliseconds to wait for data 0 means no timeout (wait forever)

Returns: the number of bytes received, or a non-zero error code: MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_TIMEOUT if the operation timed out, MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_WANT_READ if interrupted by a signal.

Note: This function will block (until data becomes available or timeout is reached) even if the socket is set to non-blocking. Handling timeouts with non-blocking reads requires a different strategy.

◆ mbedtls_net_close()

void mbedtls_net_close ( mbedtls_net_context * ctx )

Closes down the connection and free associated data.

Parameters

ctx	The context to close

◆ mbedtls_net_free()

void mbedtls_net_free ( mbedtls_net_context * ctx )

Gracefully shutdown the connection and free associated data.

Parameters

ctx	The context to free
