blocking?

[knight0fdragon]

how do i turn blocking on for recvfrom???

 

 

also can the DS act as a server??? for some reason gethostbyaddr will not work from the PC side to the DS IP

what dont u understand?????

 

 

i want to use sync sockets not async, but for some reason it seems its async by default

 

and i like to use the DS as a server, so that other DS's could communicate via wifi but the function gethostbyaddr will not recognize the IP on the DS, itll act as if the IP doesnt exist

This is a legitimate question. To set a socket nonblocking use this after you bind() it:

 

ioctl(sock, FIONBIO, &i);

 

'sock' is the socket of course, and 'i' should be an int set to a nonzero value to set it as nonblocking.

 

I don't know about your second question though.

I guesse I just didn't understand what he was wanting to do it for, like for a specific program or just in general, still learning on stuff ya know

i want blocking, not non blocking. I do not use that code you said, but for some reason, recvfrom is not waiting for data like its suppose to

 

as for the second question, has anyone placed the DS into server mode??? I ask this because it is like my PC does not recognize the IP when i access it

As for the blocking, I use a while loop with timeout, something like

 

int time=0;

while (time<maxtime){

j=rcvdfrom(blabla)

if j!=-1

break;

time++;

swiWaitForVbalnk

}

 

in this case maxtime is the timeout (if you don't want to wait forever) and so it's a number of vblanks (60/second). like, for a blockng of 5 seconds, maxtime=60*5

 

Hope this helps...

yea that is what I am using now, I just thought that I was missing something here, but I guess not. Ok then thanks a lot, I just need some answer on the server, perhaps thats not gonna happen till the next installment of the lib

int time=0;

while (time<maxtime){

j=rcvdfrom(blabla)

if j!=-1

  break;

time++;

swiWaitForVbalnk

}

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've got some nit-picking:

It's swiWaitForVblank(); not swiWaitForVbalnk

Well also blabla is not really ok

About the server. Port a server application to DSLinux. It should work then.
