5 Definitions

Definitions are sorted by export status, category, package, and then by lexicographic order.


5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *default-port*

The default TCP port on which to connect. Should be 1111.

Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Source

client.lisp.


5.1.2 Macros

Macro: with-response ((message client) init &body body)

Shorthand macro to await a response from the server that matches the update generated in the INIT form.

See CALL-WITH-RESPONSE

Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Source

client.lisp.


5.1.3 Compiler macros

Compiler Macro: s (client type &rest args)
Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Source

client.lisp.


5.1.4 Ordinary functions

Function: mini-client (&key username password hostname port)
Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Source

mini.lisp.

Function: s (client type &rest args)

Shorthand to construct an update to the server.

TYPE is coerced to a symbol from the LICHAT-PROTOCOL package. It is then used together with the initargs to create an update instance. A :FROM initarg using the client’s USERNAME is automatically added.

See SEND

Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Source

client.lisp.

Function: s-data (client channel file)
Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Source

client.lisp.


5.1.5 Generic functions

Generic Function: call-with-response (function client init)

Calls the function once a suitable response update has appeared on the client’s stream.

A suitable response is either an UPDATE with the same ID
as the update returned by INIT, or an UPDATE-FAILURE with
the same UPDATE-ID as the ID of the updated returned by
INIT. If another message is found that does not match, it
is simply ignored.

See READ-MESSAGE
See LICHAT-PROTOCOL:UPDATE-FAILURE
See LICHAT-PROTOCOL:UPDATE
See LICHAT-PROTOCOL:ID
See LICHAT-PROTOCOL:UPDATE-ID

Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Methods
Method: call-with-response (function client init)
Source

client.lisp.

Generic Function: close-connection (client)

Closes the connection to the server.

Attempts to be graceful by first sending a LICHAT-PROTOCOL:DISCONNECT update to the server, if it can.

See LICHAT-PROTOCOL:DISCONNECT

Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Methods
Method: close-connection ((client client))
Source

client.lisp.

Generic Function: connection-open-p (client)
Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Methods
Method: connection-open-p ((client client))
Source

client.lisp.

Generic Function: handle-connection (client)

Handles the incoming updates from the server.

This repeatedly (while the stream is open) calls READ-MESSAGE and then passes that message on to PROCESS. If a connection stability error occurs during this (timout, shutdown, reset, etc) then HANDLE-FATAL-ERROR is called.

A restart called CLOSE-CONNECTION is active during this, which allows you to gracefully exit and close the connection.

See PROCESS
See HANDLE-FATAL-ERROR

Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Methods
Method: handle-connection ((client client))
Source

client.lisp.

Generic Function: handle-fatal-error (client)

This function is used to handle a fatal, aborting connection error.

You can use this to either simply close and exit, or to try
and reestablish a new connection.

See HANDLE-CONNECTION

Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Methods
Method: handle-fatal-error ((client client))
Source

client.lisp.

Generic Reader: hostname (object)

Accessor to the TCP hostname the client is connecting to.

See CLIENT

Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Methods
Writer Method: (setf hostname) ((client client))

automatically generated writer method

Source

client.lisp.

Target Slot

hostname.

Generic Function: open-connection (client)

Initiate the connection from the client to the connection.

Implements the proper connection procedure as mandated by the protocol in §4.1. If the connection fails, for whatever reason, an error is signalled. If the connection succeeds, a background thread is started that calls HANDLE-CONNECTION.

See HANDLE-CONNECTION

Package

lichat-tcp-client.

Methods
Method: open-connection ((client client))
Source

client.lisp.

Generic Function: process (object client)

This method is intended to be extended by user code and is called with any update received from the server.

Default methods exist for the following update types:
* LICHAT-PROTOCOL:PING – Automatically replies to the server
with a LICHAT-PROTOCOL:PONG update.
* LICHAT-PROTOCOL:DISCONNECT – Invoke the CLOSE-CONNECTION restart.
* T – Print the object via Verbose.

be read without such an error. The message is returned.
