megaco_tcp(3)

NAME
megaco_tcp - Interface module to TPKT transport protocol for Megaco/H.248.

DESCRIPTION

This module contains the public interface to the TPKT (TCP/IP) version transport protocol for Megaco/H.248.

EXPORTS

start_transport() -> {ok, TransportRef}

    Types:
        TransportRef = pid()

    This function is used for starting the TCP/IP transport service. Use exit(TransportRef, Reason) to stop the transport service.

listen(TransportRef, ListenPortSpecList) -> ok

    Types:
        TransportRef = pid() | regname()
        OptionListPerPort = [Option]
        Option = {port, integer()} |{options, list()} |{receive_handle, term()}

    This function is used for starting new TPKT listening socket for TCP/IP. The option list contains the socket definitions.

connect(TransportRef, OptionList) -> {ok, Handle, ControlPid} | {error, Reason}

    Types:
        TransportRef = pid() | regname()
        OptionList = [Option]
        Option = {host, Ipaddr} | {port, integer()} |{options, list()} |{receive_handle, term()} |{module, atom()}
        Handle = socket_handle()
        ControlPid = pid()
        Reason = term()

    This function is used to open a TPKT connection.

    The module option makes it possible for the user to provide their own callback module. The receive_message/4 or process_received_message/4 functions of this module is called when a new message is received (which one depends on the size of the message; small - receive_message, large - process_received_message). Default value is megaco.

close(Handle) -> ok

    Types:
        Handle = socket_handle()

    This function is used for closing an active TPKT connection.

socket(Handle) -> Socket

    Types:
        Handle = socket_handle()
        Socket = inet_socket()

    This function is used to convert a socket_handle() to a inet_socket(). inet_socket() is a plain socket, see the inet module for more info.

send_message(Handle, Message) -> ok

    Types:
        Handle = socket_handle()
        Message = binary() | iolist()

    Sends a message on a connection.

block(Handle) -> ok

    Types:
        Handle = socket_handle()

    Stop receiving incoming messages on the socket.

unblock(Handle) -> ok

    Types:
        Handle = socket_handle()

    Starting to receive incoming messages from the socket again.

upgrade_receive_handle(ControlPid) -> ok

    Types:
        ControlPid = pid()

    Update the receive handle of the control process (e.g. after having changed protocol version).

get_stats() -> {ok, TotalStats} | {error, Reason}
get_stats(SendHandle) -> {ok, SendHandleStats} | {error, Reason}
get_stats(SendHandle, Counter) -> {ok, CounterStats} | {error, Reason}

    Types:
        TotalStats = [send_handle_stats()]
        total_stats() = {send_handle(), [stats()]}
        SendHandle = send_handle()
        SendHandleStats = [stats()]
        Counter = tcp_stats_counter()
        CounterStats = integer()
        stats() = {tcp_stats_counter(), integer()}
        tcp_stats_counter() = medGwyGatewayNumInMessages | medGwyGatewayNumInOctets | medGwyGatewayNumOutMessages | medGwyGatewayNumOutOctets | medGwyGatewayNumErrors
        Reason = term()

    Retreive the TCP related (SNMP) statistics counters.

reset_stats() -> void()
reset_stats(SendHandle) -> void()

    Types:
        SendHandle = send_handle()

    Reset all TCP related (SNMP) statistics counters.
