The options and variables are:
• host - Keyword that must be followed by the host name or IP address of the
remote CSS.
• ip_address - The host name or the IP address of the remote CSS.
port - Keyword that must be followed by the port on which to negotiate a
•
connection.
number - The port number on which to negotiate a connection.
•
tcp - Keyword that specifies a connection using TCP.
•
udp - Keyword that specifies a connection using UDP.
•
timeout - Timeout value for making the network connection in milliseconds.
•
If the time limit expires before the connection has been successfully made,
then the attempt fails. This applies only to a TCP connection, because UDP
is "connectionless". Enter an integer from 1 to 60000 ms (1 to 60 seconds).
The default is 5000 ms (5 seconds).
session - Keyword that tells the socket to remain open until the session ends.
•
If a script opens sockets in the session and does not close them, the sockets
remain open until you log out.
nowait - Keyword that tells the socket to send data immediately without
•
waiting to aggregate the data first.
To write data through a previously connected TCP connection, use the socket
send command. Note that the socket send command clears all currently stored
data in the 10-KB receive buffer.
The syntax for this command is:
socket send socket_number "string" {raw | base64}
socket_number - Socket file descriptor (integer form). This descriptor is
•
returned from the socket connect command.
string - Quoted text string with a maximum of 128 characters.
