Function Documentation

◆ enet_host_bandwidth_limit()

void enet_host_bandwidth_limit	(	ENetHost *	host,
		enet_uint32	incomingBandwidth,
		enet_uint32	outgoingBandwidth
	)

#include <host.c>

Adjusts the bandwidth limits of a host.

Parameters

host	host to adjust
incomingBandwidth	new incoming bandwidth
outgoingBandwidth	new outgoing bandwidth

Remarks: the incoming and outgoing bandwidth parameters are identical in function to those specified in enet_host_create().

◆ enet_host_bandwidth_throttle()

void enet_host_bandwidth_throttle ( ENetHost * host )

#include <host.c>

◆ enet_host_broadcast()

void enet_host_broadcast	(	ENetHost *	host,
		enet_uint8	channelID,
		ENetPacket *	packet
	)

#include <host.c>

Queues a packet to be sent to all peers associated with the host.

Parameters

host	host on which to broadcast the packet
channelID	channel on which to broadcast
packet	packet to broadcast

◆ enet_host_channel_limit()

void enet_host_channel_limit	(	ENetHost *	host,
		size_t	channelLimit
	)

#include <host.c>

Limits the maximum allowed channels of future incoming connections.

Parameters

host	host to limit
channelLimit	the maximum number of channels allowed; if 0, then this is equivalent to ENET_PROTOCOL_MAXIMUM_CHANNEL_COUNT

◆ enet_host_check_events()

int enet_host_check_events	(	ENetHost *	host,
		ENetEvent *	event
	)

#include <protocol.c>

Checks for any queued events on the host and dispatches one if available.

Parameters

host	host to check for events
event	an event structure where event details will be placed if available

Return values

>	0 if an event was dispatched
0	if no events are available
<	0 on failure

◆ enet_host_compress()

void enet_host_compress	(	ENetHost *	host,
		const ENetCompressor *	compressor
	)

#include <host.c>

Sets the packet compressor the host should use to compress and decompress packets.

Parameters

host	host to enable or disable compression for
compressor	callbacks for for the packet compressor; if NULL, then compression is disabled

◆ enet_host_compress_with_range_coder()

int enet_host_compress_with_range_coder ( ENetHost * host )

#include <compress.c>

Sets the packet compressor the host should use to the default range coder.

Parameters

host	host to enable the range coder for

Returns: 0 on success, < 0 on failure

◆ enet_host_connect()

ENetPeer * enet_host_connect	(	ENetHost *	host,
		const ENetAddress *	address,
		size_t	channelCount,
		enet_uint32	data
	)

#include <host.c>

Initiates a connection to a foreign host.

Parameters

host	host seeking the connection
address	destination for the connection
channelCount	number of channels to allocate
data	user data supplied to the receiving host

Returns: a peer representing the foreign host on success, NULL on failure

Remarks: The peer returned will have not completed the connection until enet_host_service() notifies of an ENET_EVENT_TYPE_CONNECT event for the peer.

◆ enet_host_create()

ENetHost * enet_host_create	(	const ENetAddress *	address,
		size_t	peerCount,
		size_t	channelLimit,
		enet_uint32	incomingBandwidth,
		enet_uint32	outgoingBandwidth
	)

#include <host.c>

Creates a host for communicating to peers.

Parameters

address	the address at which other peers may connect to this host. If NULL, then no peers may connect to the host.
peerCount	the maximum number of peers that should be allocated for the host.
channelLimit	the maximum number of channels allowed; if 0, then this is equivalent to ENET_PROTOCOL_MAXIMUM_CHANNEL_COUNT
incomingBandwidth	downstream bandwidth of the host in bytes/second; if 0, ENet will assume unlimited bandwidth.
outgoingBandwidth	upstream bandwidth of the host in bytes/second; if 0, ENet will assume unlimited bandwidth.

Returns: the host on success and NULL on failure

Remarks: 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.

◆ enet_host_destroy()

void enet_host_destroy ( ENetHost * host )

#include <host.c>

Destroys the host and all resources associated with it.

Parameters

host	pointer to the host to destroy

◆ enet_host_flush()

void enet_host_flush ( ENetHost * host )

#include <protocol.c>

Sends any queued packets on the host specified to its designated peers.

Parameters

host	host to flush

Remarks: this function need only be used in circumstances where one wishes to send queued packets earlier than in a call to enet_host_service().

◆ enet_host_random()

enet_uint32 enet_host_random ( ENetHost * host )

#include <host.c>

◆ enet_host_service()

int enet_host_service	(	ENetHost *	host,
		ENetEvent *	event,
		enet_uint32	timeout
	)

#include <protocol.c>

Waits for events on the host specified and shuttles packets between the host and its peers.

Parameters

host	host to service
event	an event structure where event details will be placed if one occurs if event == NULL then no events will be delivered
timeout	number of milliseconds that ENet should wait for events

Return values

>	0 if an event occurred within the specified time limit
0	if no event occurred
<	0 on failure

Remarks: enet_host_service should be called fairly regularly for adequate performance
