# bash socket utility
|
|
|
|
## native calls
|
|
|
|
### 1. bind-input
|
|
|
|
Binding an input creates a listening socket on a local port and binds the socket data to a local accessible buffer (accessible with the native `read` call).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bind-input $id $port;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Arguments:*
|
|
- `$id` is a unique arbitrary name you must give to the listening binding
|
|
- `$port` is the number of the local port to listen to (between 1024 and 49151)
|
|
|
|
*Execution:*
|
|
- The `bind-input` execution will last until the socket is created, then it will move it to a background process and print its *PID*.
|
|
- In order to close properly the `bind-input`, you must kill its *PID* with one of the 3 following signals: SIGINT, SIGHUP, SIGTERM. Note that you must not use *SIGKILL* because it won't trigger the "*proper closing*" routine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Exemple:*
|
|
|
|
Let's say that you want to listen to port 9999, then read every second. You want to ignore empty messages (if nothing received), and end the program when you receive the message "**END**".
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
# 1. Create the listening socket + store PID in /tmp
|
|
bind-input input1 9999 > /tmp/get_bg_pid;
|
|
|
|
# 2. Store PID in a variable
|
|
bound_pid="`cat /tmp/get_bg_pid`";
|
|
|
|
# 3. Now the socket is listening, you can read every 1 sec
|
|
while true; do
|
|
|
|
# 3.1. Read received data from port 9999
|
|
message="`read input1`";
|
|
|
|
# 3.2. Ignore empty messages
|
|
[[ -z "$message" ]] && sleep 1 && continue;
|
|
|
|
# 3.3. Exit while() loop if received "END"
|
|
[[ "$message" = "END" ]] && break;
|
|
|
|
# 3.4. Wait 1 sec
|
|
sleep 1;
|
|
|
|
done;
|
|
|
|
# 4. Kill 'bind-input' with signal SIGINT, SIGHUP or SIGTERM
|
|
kill -INT $bound_pid;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2. bind-output
|
|
|
|
Binding an output creates a local accessible buffer (accessible with the native `write` call) bound to a socket connecting to a certain host and port.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bind-output $id $host $port;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Arguments:*
|
|
- `$id` is a unique arbitrary name you must give to the output binding
|
|
- `$host` is the hostname (IP addr. or resolvable) of the machine to connect to.
|
|
- `$port` is the number of the remote port to connect to (between 1024 and 49151)
|
|
|
|
*Execution:*
|
|
- The `bind-output` execution will last until the socket is created, then it will move it to a background process and print its *PID*.
|
|
- In order to close properly the `bind-output`, you must kill its *PID* with one of the 3 following signals: SIGINT, SIGHUP, SIGTERM. Note that you must not use *SIGKILL* because it won't trigger the "*proper closing*" routine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Exemple:*
|
|
|
|
Let's say that you want to connect to port 192.168.0.2 at port 9999, wait 2 seconds, send a message, wait 1 second and send the "**END**" message.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
# 1. Create the connecting socket + store PID in /tmp
|
|
bind-output output1 192.168.0.2 9999 > /tmp/get_bg_pid;
|
|
|
|
# 2. Store PID in a variable
|
|
bound_pid="`cat /tmp/get_bg_pid`";
|
|
|
|
# 3. Wait for sending first message
|
|
sleep 2;
|
|
write output1 "some message\nwith\tescapable\e[1mcharaters\e[0m";
|
|
|
|
# 4. Wait for sending "END" message
|
|
sleep 1;
|
|
write output1 "END";
|
|
|
|
# 5. Kill 'bind-output' with signal SIGINT, SIGHUP or SIGTERM
|
|
kill -INT $bound_pid;
|
|
```
