net.DLL - Simple Eloquence DLL interface to network services
Revision: 12.09.2006
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation
============

The file Net.DLL for the platform should be should be installed 
in directory /opt/eloquence6/dll. Permissions should be set to 555.

cd hpux10 (or linux-glibc2.1 or linux-glibc2.2)
cp Net.DLL /opt/eloquence6/dll/
chmod 555 /opt/eloquence6/dll/Net.DLL
chown root:root /opt/eloquence6/dll/Net.DLL


Programming interface
=====================

The Net.DLL implements the following calls.
For a sample program please refer to DEMO.PROG

  CALL DLL Net("dll_Revision", Rev$)
    returns DLL revision string ("1.1").

  CALL DLL Net("dll_Compiled", Date$)
    returns DLL compile date ("Wed May  2 14:50:04 CEST 2001").

  CALL DLL Net("dll_Debug", 1)
    Enable/disable internal EQ DLL debugging.

  CALL DLL Net("dll_LogFile", "/tmp/net.log")
    Open log file (in append mode).  Any previous log file is 
    closed. If the file name is empty, disable log file usage.
    Errors: 2001

  CALL DLL Net("dll_Log", Str$)
    Write string to log file

  CALL DLL Net("Connect", Server$,Service$)
    Connect to TCP server at specified port
    Errors: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005

  CALL DLL Net("ConnectUDP", Server$,Service$[,Source$])
    Connect to UDP server at specified port.
    Source$ can be used to specify the source port.
    Errors: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005

  CALL DLL Net("Disconnect")
    Disconnect from server
    Errors: 2006, 2007

  CALL DLL Net("Listen", Service$)
    Establish a TCP listen queue on specified port
    Errors: 2002, 2003, 2011

  CALL DLL Net("CloseListen")
    Close the listen queue
    Errors: 2006, 2007

  CALL DLL Net("Accept", Peer_addr$,Peer_port)
    Accept a new connection from the TCP listen queue
    Errors: 18, 2002, 2006, 2012

  CALL DLL Net("Select", Status,Timeout)
    Check if data is available or new connections are pending.
    Status bit 0 is set if data is available.
    Status bit 1 is set if new connections are pending.
    Status bit 2 is set if a timeout has occurred.
    If timeout is zero, block until condition is met.
    If timeout is nonzero, block until condition is met or
    the specified number of milliseconds have elapsed. 
    If timeout is -1 then set Status and return immediately.
    Errors: 2006, 2013

  CALL DLL Net("Send", Buf$)
    Send data to server
    Errors: 2006

  CALL DLL Net("Recv", Buf$, Cnt, Timeout)
    Read cnt bytes from server. An empty buffer is returned
    if an EOF condition has been encountered.
    If timeout is zero, block until data is available.
    If timeout is nonzero, block until data is available or
    the specified number of milliseconds have elapsed. 
    If timeout is -1 or used with UDP protocol then read all
    data (up to cnt bytes) which are available immediately
    without blocking.
    If a timeout is encountered, an error 2010 is returned.
    Errors: 18, 2006, 2009, 2010

  2001 - log file cannot be opened
  2002 - already conected
  2003 - bad service name or port number
  2004 - bad host name or ip address
  2005 - unable to connect
  2006 - not connected
  2007 - disconnect failed
  2008 - send failed
  2009 - receive failed
  2010 - receive timed out
  2011 - listen failed
  2012 - accept failed
