Declaration
gint
g_datagram_based_send_messages (
GDatagramBased* datagram_based,
GOutputMessage* messages,
guint num_messages,
gint flags,
gint64 timeout,
GCancellable* cancellable,
GError** error
)
Description
Send one or more data messages from datagram_based in one go.
messages must point to an array of GOutputMessage structs and
num_messages must be the length of this array. Each GOutputMessage
contains an address to send the data to, and a pointer to an array of
GOutputVector structs to describe the buffers that the data to be sent
for each message will be gathered from.
flags modify how the message is sent. The commonly available arguments
for this are available in the GSocketMsgFlags enum, but the
values there are the same as the system values, and the flags
are passed in as-is, so you can pass in system-specific flags too.
The other members of GOutputMessage are treated as described in its documentation.
If timeout is negative the call will block until num_messages have been
sent, cancellable is cancelled, or an error occurs.
If timeout is 0 the call will send up to num_messages without blocking,
or will return G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK if there is no space to send messages.
If timeout is positive the call will block on the same conditions as if
timeout were negative. If the timeout is reached before any messages are
sent, G_IO_ERROR_TIMED_OUT is returned, otherwise it will return the number
of messages sent before timing out.
To be notified when messages can be sent, wait for the G_IO_OUT condition.
Note though that you may still receive G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK from
g_datagram_based_send_messages() even if you were previously notified of a
G_IO_OUT condition. (On Windows in particular, this is very common due to
the way the underlying APIs work.)
If the connection is shut down or closed (by calling g_socket_close() or
g_socket_shutdown() with shutdown_write set, if it’s a GSocket, for
example), all calls to this function will return G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED.
On error -1 is returned and error is set accordingly. An error will only
be returned if zero messages could be sent; otherwise the number of messages
successfully sent before the error will be returned. If cancellable is
cancelled, G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED is returned as with any other error.

Parameters
messages-
Type: An array of
GOutputMessageAn array of
GOutputMessagestructs.The length of the array is specified in the num_messagesargument.The data is owned by the caller of the function. num_messages-
Type:
guintThe number of elements in
messages. flags-
Type:
gintAn int containing
GSocketMsgFlagsflags. timeout-
Type:
gint64The maximum time (in microseconds) to wait, 0 to not block, or -1 to block indefinitely.
cancellable-
Type:
GCancellableA %GCancellable.
The argument can be NULL.The data is owned by the caller of the function. error-
Type:
GError **The return location for a recoverable error.
The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will left initialized to NULLby the method if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
