typedef struct
{
enet_uint32 host;
enet_uint16 port;
} ENetAddress;
Portable internet address structure. The host must be specified in network
byte-order, and the port must be in host byte-order. The constant ENET_HOST_ANY
may be used to specify the default server host.
typedef struct
{
enet_uint32 flags;
enet_uint8 * data;
size_t dataLength;
} ENetPacket;
An ENet data packet that may be sent to or received from a peer. The shown fields
should only be read and never modified. The data field contains the allocated data
for the packet. The dataLength fields specifies the length of the allocated data.
The flags field is either 0 (specifying no flags), or a bitwise-or of any
combination of the following flags:
ENET_PACKET_FLAG_RELIABLE -
Specifies that the packet must be received by the target peer and that resend
attempts should be made should delivery of the packet fail.
typedef struct
{
ENetAddress address;
void * data;
size_t channelCount;
enet_uint32 incomingBandwidth;
enet_uint32 outgoingBandwidth;
enet_uint32 roundTripTime;
enet_uint32 packetLoss;
} ENetPeer;
An ENet peer which data packets may be sent or received from. No fields should be
modified unless otherwise specified. The address field contains the internet address
of the peer. The data fields may be used to associate any desired data with the peer
and may be freely modified. The channelCount field tells the number of channels that
have been allocated for use to communnicate with the peer. The incomingBandwidth field
specifies the downstream bandwidth of the client in bytes per second. The
outgoingBandwidth field specifies the upstream bandwidth of the client in bytes per
second. The roundTripTime field tells the mean round trip time from the sending of
a reliable packet until the receipt of its acknowledgement in milliseconds. The
packetLoss field tells the mean packet loss of reliable packets as a ratio with
respect to the constant ENET_PEER_PACKET_LOSS_SCALE.
typedef enum
{
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_NONE,
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_CONNECT,
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECT,
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_RECEIVE
} ENetEventType;
typedef struct _ENetEvent
{
ENetEventType type;
ENetPeer * peer;
enet_uint8 channelID;
ENetPacket * packet;
} ENetEvent;
An ENet event as returned by enet_host_service. The type field contains the type
of the event, which may be any one of the following:
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_NONE - No event occurred within the specified time limit.
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_CONNECT -
A connection request initiated by enet_host_connect has completed. The peer field
contains the peer which successfully connected.
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECT -
A peer has disconnected. This event is generated on successful completion of a
disconnect iniated by enet_peer_disconnect, if a peer has timed out, or if a
connection request initialized by enet_host_connect has timed out. The peer field
contains the peer which disconnected.
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_RECEIVE -
A packet has been received from a peer. The peer field specifies the peer which
send the packet. The channelID field specifies the channel number upon which the
packet was received. The packet field contains the packet that was destroyed; this
packet must be destroyed with enet_packet_destroy after use.
typedef struct
{
ENetAddress address;
enet_uint32 incomingBandwidth;
enet_uint32 outgoingBandwidth;
ENetPeer * peers;
size_t peerCount;
} ENetHost;
An ENet host for communicating with peers. No fields should be modified. The address
field tells the internet address of the host. The incomingBandwidth field tells the downstream
bandwidth of the host. The outgoingBandwidth field specifies the upstream bandwidth of the host.
The peers field contains an array of the peers that have been allocated for this host. The
peerCount field specifies the number of peers that have been allocated for this host.
unsigned ENET_HOST_TO_NET_8 (unsigned);
unsigned ENET_HOST_TO_NET_16 (unsigned);
unsigned ENET_HOST_TO_NET_32 (unsigned);
Macros that convert from host byte-order to network byte-order (big
endian) for unsigned integers of 8 bits, 16 bits, and 32 bits repectively.
unsigned ENET_NET_TO_HOST_8 (unsigned);
unsigned ENET_NET_TO_HOST_16 (unsigned);
unsigned ENET_NET_TO_HOST_32 (unsigned);
Macros that convert from network byte-order (big endian) to host
byte-order for unsigned integers of 8 bits, 16 bits, and 32 bits repectively.
enet_uint32 enet_time_get (void);
Returns the wall-time in milliseconds. Its initial value is unspecified unless
otherwise set.
void enet_time_set (enet_uint32);
Sets the current wall-time in milliseconds.
int enet_initialize (void);
Initialize ENet for use. Must be called prior to using any functions in ENet.
Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
void enet_deinitialize (void);
Clean-up ENet after use. Should be called when a program that has initialized
and used ENet exits.
int enet_address_set_host (ENetAddress * address, const char * hostName);
Attempts to resolve the host named by the parameter hostName and sets the host
field in the address parameter if successful. Returns 0 on success and -1 on
failure.
int enet_address_get_host (const ENetAddress * address, char * hostName, size_t nameLength);
Attempts to do a reverse lookup of the host field in the address parameter.
If successful, the name of the host is placed in the string described by
hostName and nameLength. The host name is always null-delimited and will
not exceed nameLength in length. Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
ENetPacket * enet_packet_create (const void * dataContents, size_t dataLength, enet_uint32 flags);
Creates a packet that may be sent to a peer. The dataContents parameter
specifies the initial contents of the packet's data; the packet's data will
remain uninitialized if dataContents is NULL. The dataLength parameter specifies
the size of the data that is allocated for this packet. The flags parameter
specifies flags for this packet as described for the ENetPacket structure.
Returns the packet on success and NULL on failure.
void enet_packet_destroy (ENetPacket * packet);
Destroys the packet and deallocates its data.
int enet_packet_resize (ENetPacket * packet, size_t dataLength);
Attempts to resize the data in the packet to the length specified in the
dataLength parameter. Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
ENetHost * enet_host_create (const ENetAddress * address, size_t peerCount, enet_uint32 incomingBandwidth, enet_uint32 outgoingBandwidth);
Creates a host for communicating with peers. The address parameter specifies
the address at which other peers may connect to this host; if the address parameter
is NULL, then no peers may connect to the host. The peerCount parameter specifies
the numbers of peers that should be allocated for the host; this limits the maximum
number of peers that may connect to this host to peerCount. The incomingBandwidth
parameter specifies the downstream bandwidth of the host in bytes per second; if
the incomingBandwidth parameter is 0, ENet will assume the host has unlimited
downstream bandwidth. The outgoingBandwidth parameter specifies the upstream bandwidth
of the host in bytes per second; if the outgoingBandwidth parameter is 0, ENet will
assume the host has unlimited upstream bandwidth. ENet will strategically drop packets
on specific sides of a connection between hosts to ensure the host's bandwidth is not
overwhelmed; the bandwidth parameters also determine the window size of a connection
which limits the amount of reliable packets that may be in transit at any given time.
Returns the host on success and NULL on failure.
void enet_host_destroy (ENetHost * host);
Destroys the host and all resources associated with it.
ENetPeer * enet_host_connect (ENetHost * host, const ENetAddress * address, size_t channelCount);
Initiates a connection from the host specified in the host parameter to a foreign
host whose internet address is specified by the address parameter. The channelCount
parameter specifies the number of channels that should be allocated for communicating
with the foreign host. Returns a peer representing the foreign host on success and NULL
on failure. The peer returned will have not completed the connection until enet_host_service
notifies of an ENET_EVENT_TYPE_CONNECT event for the peer.
int enet_host_service (ENetHost * host, ENetEvent * event, enet_uint32 timeout);
Waits for events on the host specified by the host parameters and shuttles packets
between the host and its peers. The event parameter specifies an event structure
where event details will be placed if one occurs. The timeout field specifies an
amount of time in milliseconds that ENet should wait for events. Returns 1 if an
event occured within the specified time limit, 0 if no event occurred within the
time limit, and -1 on failure. This function must be called frequently for adequate
performance.
void enet_host_flush (ENetHost * host);
Sends out any queued packets on the host specified in the host parameters to
the designated peers. This function need only be used in circumstances where one
wishes to send queued packets earlier than in a call to enet_host_service.
void enet_host_broadcast (ENetHost * host, enet_uint8 channelID, ENetPacket * packet);
Queues a packet to be sent to all peers on the host specified in the host parameter
over the channel number identified by the channelID parameter.
void enet_host_bandwidth_limit (ENetHost * host, enet_uint32 incomingBandwidth, enet_uint32 outgoingBandwidth);
Adjusts the bandwidth limits of the host specified in the host parameter. The
incomingBandwidth and outgoingBandwidth parameters are as specified in a call to
enet_host_create.
int enet_peer_send (ENetPeer * peer, enet_uint8 channelID, ENetPacket * packet);
Queues a packet to be sent to the peer specified by the peer parameter over the
channel number identified by the channelID parameter. Returns 0 on success and -1
on failure.
ENetPacket * enet_peer_receive (ENetPeer * peer, enet_uint8 channelID);
Attempts to dequeue any incoming queued packets on the peer specified by the peer
parameter on the channel number identified by the channelID parameter. Returns a packet
if one is available and NULL if there are no available incoming queued packets.
void enet_peer_ping (ENetPeer * peer);
Sends a ping request to the peer specified by the peer parameter. Ping requests factor
into the mean round trip time as designated by the roundTripTime field in the ENetPeer
structure. ENet automatically pings all connected peer at an interval, however, this
function may be called to ensure more frequent ping requests.
void enet_peer_reset (ENetPeer * peer);
Forcefully disconnects the peer specified by the peer parameter. The foreign host
represented by the peer is not notified of the disconnection and so will timeout on its
connection to the local host.
void enet_peer_disconnect (ENetPeer * peer);
Request a disconnection from the peer specified by the peer parameter. An
ENET_EVENT_DISCONNECT event will be generated by enet_host_service once the
disconnection is complete.
void enet_peer_throttle_configure (ENetPeer * peer, enet_uint32 interval, enet_uint32 acceleration, enet_uint32 deceleration);
Configures throttle parameter for the peer specified by the peer parameter.
Unreliable packets are dropped by ENet in response to the varying conditions of
the internet connection to the peer. The throttle represents a probability that
an unreliable packet should not be dropped and thus sent by ENet to the peer.
The lowest mean round trip time from the sending of a reliable packet to the
receipt of its acknowledgement is measured over an amount of time specified
by the interval parameter in milliseconds; the constant ENET_PEER_PACKET_THROTTLE_INTERVAL
is the default value for this parameter. If a measured round trip time happens
to be signifigantly less than the mean round trip time measured over the interval,
then the throttle probability is increased to allow more traffic by an amount
specified in the acceleration parameter which is in ratio to the
ENET_PEER_PACKET_THROTTLE_SCALE constant. If a measured round trip time happens
to be signifigantly greater than the mean round trip time measured over the interval,
then the throttle probability is decreased to limit traffic by an amount specified
in the deceleration parameter which is in ratio to the ENET_PEER_PACKET_THROTTLE_SCALE
constant. When the throttle has a value of ENET_PEER_PACKET_THROTTLE_SCALE, no unreliable
packets are dropped by ENET, and so 100% of all unreliable packets will be sent. When the
throttle has a value of 0, all unreliable packets are dropped by ENet, and so 0% of all
unreliable packets will be sent. Intermediate values for the throttle represent intermediate
probabilities between 0% and 100% of unreliable packets being sent. The bandwidth limits
of the local and foreign host are taken into account to determine a sensible limit for
the throttle probability above which it should not raise even in the best of conditions.
