<hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
Implementation of the (BEEP) listener Object.
<p>
Actually, this module implements all the listeners. The initial release did only care about BEEP, but starting with 0.6.0 additional listeners are supported. In 0.6.0 at least a standard UDP listener has been added. Other listeners (eventually not implemented by the time you read this) are the simple syslog over TCP (aka "SELP") and the local /var/log "listener" on *nix.<p>
Please see <a class="el" href="architecture_8c.html">architecture::c</a> for more details.<p>
<dl compact><dt><b>Author:</b></dt><dd>Rainer Gerhards <<a href="mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com">rgerhards@adiscon.com</a>> </dd></dl>
<dl compact><dt><b>Date:</b></dt><dd>2003-08-13 File initially created. <p>
2003-09-26 Changed the logical meaning of this module. It is no longer the BEEP listener, only. It is now *the* listener for all supported protocols. This allows us to keep all listeners on a single thread.</dd></dl>

<p>
This method build a frame by processing one character at a time.
<p>
It operates on a continuous stream of data. It is a state machine.<p>
As soon as a full frame is detected, the frame handler is called which then should pass the data to his upper layer - or whatever he intends to do with it. This is not the business of this method. For each new frame, new memory is allocated, so the frame handler (or its upper layers) are responsible for deleting the frame.<p>
This method calls itself recursively if it needed to peek at a character and now needs to do the actual processing.<p>

Lowest level event handler when a new frame arrived.

This handler must first verify if it is a good packet (checks like seqno sequence and thus) and if so, find the profile that it should send data to. SEQ frames are directly processed and channel 0 protocol is mapped to fixed handlers in this object itself.<p>

Actually send a frame over the socket.
<p>
If the method would block, we could only send a partial frame.<p>
<dl compact><dt><b><a class="el" href="todo.html#_todo000005">Todo:</a></b></dt><dd>We need to upgrade either this method (or create another one so that it will send multiple frames if multiple frames are in the send queue. Right now, this is done by the select() loop anyhow, but it may be more efficient to do it that way (or it may be not, this needs some more thinking...). </dd></dl>
IMPORTANT: When sending SEQ frames, we do not use the "normal" window mechanism. Essentially, these SEQs are acknowledgements, so they are not to be considered as part of the data window. If we would count them, we would stall the process as the peer will abviously never acknowledge acknowledgements... ;)<p>
<dl compact><dt><b><a class="el" href="todo.html#_todo000006">Todo:</a></b></dt><dd>We need to see if race conditions can occur where pChan becomes invalid but is still stored with the message. It may be a better idea to use the "normal" channel lookup methods, though they are definitely slower... For now, we use an assert and will test this well. <p>
again, referencing the channel object as done below is a little dangerous...</dd></dl>

<p>
This is the main server/IO handler.
<p>
This loop is executed until termination is flagged. This is the ONLY method that is responsible for scheduling IO.<p>
The loop has three phases:<ul>
<li>check if data is to be sent and, if so, try to send it</li><li>wait for socket to become ready for read or write</li><li>process pending socket reads</li></ul>
<p>
We have some OS dependant code in here. The reason is that "original" BSD sockets need to have passed the highest numbered file descriptor. We can not properly emulate this in the socket layer. Even if we could, that would potentially cause a considerable performance hit. Thus, we implement it in this module and pass it on to the lower layer. If we run into a non BSD-sockets OS other than Windows, we might be not so happy with this decision, but lets try it...<p>
Please note that all send operations are only done in phase 1.<p>
