SYNOPSIS
#include <Xlt/Host.h>

DESCRIPTION
Host is used by an application to communicate with a process via a tcp/ip socket connection.

  Classes
Host inherits behavior and resources from the Object class.

The class pointer is XltHostWidgetClass.

The class name is XltHost.

  New Resources
The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource values for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove the Xm prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any underscores between words). The codes in the access column indicate if the given resource can be set at creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A).

XltHost Resource Set
Name | Class | Type | Default | Access
XltNasciiInputCallback | XtCCallback | XtCallbackList | NULL | C
XltNbinaryInputCallback | XtCCallback | XtCallbackList | NULL | C
XltNconnectCallback | XtCCallback | XtCallbackList | NULL | C
XltNdelay | XltCDelay | int | 0 | CSG
XltNdisconnectCallback | XtCCallback | XtCallbackList | NULL | C
XltNhostType | XtCHostType | unsigned char | XltHOST_CLIENT | CSG
XltNinputCallback | XtCCallback | XtCallbackList | NULL | C
XltNname | XltCName | String | "localhost" | CSG
XltNoutputCallback | XtCCallback | XtCallbackList | NULL | C
XltNport | XltCPort | String | dynamic | CSG
XltNterminator | XltCTerminator | String | "\r\n" | CSG

XltNasciiInputCallback
    Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when one line of input has been received. A line is terminated by either \r or \n. A blank line, "\r\n", will not invoke the callback. The reason sent by the callback is XltCR_ASCIIINPUT.

XltNbinaryInputCallback
    Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when binary data is received. Binary data is defined according to the Block Arguments in the Tektronix TekScope Programmer Manual. The reason sent by the callback is XltCR_BINARYINPUT.

XltNconnectCallback
    Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the connection is established. A connection is not attempted until the parent of the Host widget, usually the ApplicationShell, has been realized. The reason sent by the callback is XltCR_CONNECT.

XmNdelay
    Specifies the minimum amount of time to delay between sending characters to the socket.

XltNdisconnectCallback
    Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when the connection is closed. The reason sent by the callback is XltCR_DISCONNECT.

XltNhostType
    Either XltHOST_CLIENT or XltHOST_SERVER.

XltNinputCallback
    Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when data is received. The reason sent by the callback is XltCR_INPUT.

XltNname
    Specifies the hostname to connect to. An XtGetValues on this resource returns a pointer to the actual string in the widget. Do not free this string. If the hostType is XltHOST_SERVER this resource is not used.

XltNoutputCallback
    Specifies the list of callbacks that is called when data byte is transmitted.

XltNport
    Specifies the TCP service port to connect to. If not specified the name of the application will be used. An XtGetValues on this resource returns a pointer to the actual string in the widget. Do not free this string. If the hostType is XltHOST_SERVER this resource is the port that the listen socket is created on.

XltNterminator
    Specifies a string that is appended to data send by XltHostSendString(3x). An XtGetValues on this resource returns a pointer to the actual string in the widget. Do not free this string.

  Inherited Resources
Host inherits behavior and resources from the following superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the man page for that superclass.

Object Resource Set
Name | Class | Type | Default | Access
XmNdestroyCallback | XmCCallback | XtCallbackList | NULL | C
XmNscreen | XmCScreen | Screen * | dynamic | CG

  Callback Information
A pointer to the following structure is passed to each callback:
typedef struct
{
	int	reason;
	char	* data;
	int	len;
	int	input_size;
	int	input_need;
} XltHostCallbackStruct;

reason
    Indicates why the callback was invoked

data
    Points to the data that triggered the callback. This is undefined if reason is XltCR_CONNECT.

len Is the amount of data pointed to by data. This is undefined if reason is XltCR_CONNECT. This is the amount of data in the output queue if the reason is XltCR_OUTPUT.

input_size
    Is the amount of binary data received so far. This is only defined if reason is XltCR_INPUT and is only meaningfull during a binary data transfer.

input_need
    Is the amount of binary data we expect to receive. This is only defined if reason is XltCR_INPUT and is only meaningfull during a binary data transfer.

  Behavior
XltHost behavior is described below:

    Host will attempt to make a connection to the host name and port when its parent, which should be the ApplicationShell, is realized. If the name or port is changed the current connection is closed and a new connection will be established. The connection callback is called when the stream is successfully opened. If the hostType is XltHOST_SERVER the listen socket is created when the parent is realized. Clients that connect to this port will then receive all of the data sent with XltHostSendData/XltHostSendString. Data sent to the Host, via XltHostSendData(3x) or XltHostSendString(3x), is sent to the stream one byte at a time with a delay of XltNdelay between bytes. Additionally, XltHostSendString will append the XltNTerminator string to the data. Data read from the stream is collected and passed to the various input callbacks as appropriate.

  Virtual Bindings
The bindings for virtual keys are vendor specific. For information about bindings for virtual buttons and keys, see VirtualBindings(3X).
