You should include the file <enet/enet.h> when using ENet. Do not
|
|
|
|
include <enet.h> without the directory prefix, as this may cause
|
|
|
|
file name conflicts on some systems.
|
|
|
|
|
2008-09-07 11:04:43 -04:00
|
|
|
Before using ENet, you must call enet_initialize() to initialize the
|
|
|
|
library. Upon program exit, you should call enet_deinitialize() so
|
|
|
|
that the library may clean up any used resources.

@section CreateServer Creating an ENet server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Servers in ENet are constructed with enet_host_create(). You must
|
|
|
|
specify an address on which to receive data and new connections, as
|
|
|
|
well as the maximum allowable numbers of connected peers. You may
|
|
|
|
optionally specify the incoming and outgoing bandwidth of the server
|
|
|
|
in bytes per second so that ENet may try to statically manage
|
|
|
|
bandwidth resources among connected peers in addition to its dynamic
|
|
|
|
throttling algorithm; specifying 0 for these two options will cause
|
|
|
|
ENet to rely entirely upon its dynamic throttling algorithm to manage
|
|
|
|
bandwidth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When done with a host, the host may be destroyed with
|
|
|
|
enet_host_destroy(). All connected peers to the host will be reset,
|
|
|
|
and the resources used by the host will be freed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
|
|
ENetAddress address;
|
|
|
|
ENetHost * server;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* Bind the server to the default localhost. */
|
|
|
|
/* A specific host address can be specified by */
|
|
|
|
/* enet_address_set_host (& address, "x.x.x.x"); */
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
address.host = ENET_HOST_ANY;
|
|
|
|
/* Bind the server to port 1234. */
|
|
|
|
address.port = 1234;

@section CreateClient Creating an ENet client
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clients in ENet are similarly constructed with enet_host_create() when
|
|
|
|
no address is specified to bind the host to. Bandwidth may be
|
|
|
|
specified for the client host as in the above example. The peer count
|
|
|
|
controls the maximum number of connections to other server hosts that
|
|
|
|
may be simultaneously open.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
|
|
ENetHost * client;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
client = enet_host_create (NULL /* create a client host */,
|
|
|
|
1 /* only allow 1 outgoing connection */,
|
2011-03-17 17:02:22 -04:00
|
|
|
2 /* allow up 2 channels to be used, 0 and 1 */,
|
2020-02-27 11:55:10 -05:00
|
|
|
0 /* assume any amount of incoming bandwidth */,
|
|
|
|
0 /* assume any amount of outgoing bandwidth */);
|
2008-09-07 11:04:43 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if (client == NULL)
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
fprintf (stderr,
|
|
|
|
"An error occurred while trying to create an ENet client host.\n");
|
|
|
|
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|

|

enet_host_destroy(client);

@section ManageHost Managing an ENet host
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ENet uses a polled event model to notify the programmer of significant
|
|
|
|
events. ENet hosts are polled for events with enet_host_service(),
|
|
|
|
where an optional timeout value in milliseconds may be specified to
|
|
|
|
control how long ENet will poll; if a timeout of 0 is specified,
|
|
|
|
enet_host_service() will return immediately if there are no events to
|
|
|
|
dispatch. enet_host_service() will return 1 if an event was dispatched
|
|
|
|
within the specified timeout.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-02-27 11:55:10 -05:00
|
|
|
Beware that most processing of the network with the ENet stack is done
|
|
|
|
inside enet_host_service(). Both hosts that make up the sides of a connection
|
|
|
|
must regularly call this function to ensure packets are actually sent and
|
|
|
|
received. A common symptom of not actively calling enet_host_service()
|
|
|
|
on both ends is that one side receives events while the other does not.
|
|
|
|
The best way to schedule this activity to ensure adequate service is, for
|
|
|
|
example, to call enet_host_service() with a 0 timeout (meaning non-blocking)
|
|
|
|
at the beginning of every frame in a game loop.
|
|
|
|
|
2008-09-07 11:04:43 -04:00
|
|
|
Currently there are only four types of significant events in ENet:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An event of type ENET_EVENT_TYPE_NONE is returned if no event occurred
|
|
|
|
within the specified time limit. enet_host_service() will return 0
|
|
|
|
with this event.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An event of type ENET_EVENT_TYPE_CONNECT is returned when either a new client
|
|
|
|
host has connected to the server host or when an attempt to establish a
|
|
|
|
connection with a foreign host has succeeded. Only the "peer" field of the
|
|
|
|
event structure is valid for this event and contains the newly connected peer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An event of type ENET_EVENT_TYPE_RECEIVE is returned when a packet is received
|
|
|
|
from a connected peer. The "peer" field contains the peer the packet was
|
|
|
|
received from, "channelID" is the channel on which the packet was sent, and
|
|
|
|
"packet" is the packet that was sent. The packet contained in the "packet"
|
|
|
|
field must be destroyed with enet_packet_destroy() when you are done
|
|
|
|
inspecting its contents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An event of type ENET_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECT is returned when a connected peer
|
|
|
|
has either explicitly disconnected or timed out. Only the "peer" field of the
|
|
|
|
event structure is valid for this event and contains the peer that
|
|
|
|
disconnected. Only the "data" field of the peer is still valid on a
|
|
|
|
disconnect event and must be explicitly reset.
|
|

@code

ENetEvent event;

@section SendingPacket Sending a packet to an ENet peer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Packets in ENet are created with enet_packet_create(), where the size
|
|
|
|
of the packet must be specified. Optionally, initial data may be
|
|
|
|
specified to copy into the packet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Certain flags may also be supplied to enet_packet_create() to control
|
|
|
|
various packet features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ENET_PACKET_FLAG_RELIABLE specifies that the packet must use reliable
|
2018-01-30 17:10:30 -05:00
|
|
|
delivery. A reliable packet is guaranteed to be delivered, and a
|
2008-09-07 11:04:43 -04:00
|
|
|
number of retry attempts will be made until an acknowledgement is
|
|
|
|
received from the foreign host the packet is sent to. If a certain
|
|
|
|
number of retry attempts is reached without any acknowledgement, ENet
|
|
|
|
will assume the peer has disconnected and forcefully reset the
|
|
|
|
connection. If this flag is not specified, the packet is assumed an
|
|
|
|
unreliable packet, and no retry attempts will be made nor
|
|
|
|
acknowledgements generated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A packet may be resized (extended or truncated) with
|
|
|
|
enet_packet_resize().
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A packet is sent to a foreign host with
|
|
|
|
enet_peer_send(). enet_peer_send() accepts a channel id over which to
|
|
|
|
send the packet to a given peer. Once the packet is handed over to
|
|
|
|
ENet with enet_peer_send(), ENet will handle its deallocation and
|
|
|
|
enet_packet_destroy() should not be used upon it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One may also use enet_host_broadcast() to send a packet to all
|
|
|
|
connected peers on a given host over a specified channel id, as with
|
|
|
|
enet_peer_send().
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Queued packets will be sent on a call to enet_host_service().
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, enet_host_flush() will send out queued packets without
|
|
|
|
dispatching any events.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
|
|
/* Create a reliable packet of size 7 containing "packet\0" */
|
|
|
|
ENetPacket * packet = enet_packet_create ("packet",
|
|
|
|
strlen ("packet") + 1,
|
|
|
|
ENET_PACKET_FLAG_RELIABLE);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* Extend the packet so and append the string "foo", so it now */
|
|
|
|
/* contains "packetfoo\0" */
|
|
|
|
enet_packet_resize (packet, strlen ("packetfoo") + 1);
|
|
|
|
strcpy (& packet -> data [strlen ("packet")], "foo");
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* Send the packet to the peer over channel id 0. */
|
|
|
|
/* One could also broadcast the packet by */
|
|
|
|
/* enet_host_broadcast (host, 0, packet); */

|
|
|
|

@section Disconnecting Disconnecting an ENet peer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Peers may be gently disconnected with enet_peer_disconnect(). A
|
|
|
|
disconnect request will be sent to the foreign host, and ENet will
|
|
|
|
wait for an acknowledgement from the foreign host before finally
|
|
|
|
disconnecting. An event of type ENET_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECT will be
|
|
|
|
generated once the disconnection succeeds. Normally timeouts apply to
|
|
|
|
the disconnect acknowledgement, and so if no acknowledgement is
|
|
|
|
received after a length of time the peer will be forcefully
|
|
|
|
disconnected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enet_peer_reset() will forcefully disconnect a peer. The foreign host
|
|
|
|
will get no notification of a disconnect and will time out on the
|
|
|
|
foreign host. No event is generated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
|

@section Connecting Connecting to an ENet host
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A connection to a foreign host is initiated with enet_host_connect().
|
|
|
|
It accepts the address of a foreign host to connect to, and the number
|
|
|
|
of channels that should be allocated for communication. If N channels
|
|
|
|
are allocated for use, their channel ids will be numbered 0 through
|
|
|
|
N-1. A peer representing the connection attempt is returned, or NULL
|
|
|
|
if there were no available peers over which to initiate the
|
|
|
|
connection. When the connection attempt succeeds, an event of type
|
|
|
|
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_CONNECT will be generated. If the connection attempt
|
|
|
|
times out or otherwise fails, an event of type
|
|
|
|
ENET_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECT will be generated.
