Re: Using Glib::IOChannel for socket connections

["Víctor M. Palacio Tárrega" <victorpalacio adtelecom es>]

Hi all,

Thank you for your responses, but I'm not looking for a 
socket/connection management library. (I will, for sure, if it's needed, 
and I 'll use your recommendations).

Now, I'm talking about Glib::IOChannel monitoring socket connections 
directly.

As API documentation for IOChannel states, an IOChannel can be created 
from a file descriptor that points to a opened file or to a socket(link).
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/glibmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGlib_1_1IOChannel.html#078698e18f61bb75fe3fd33d82970f5d

Use in the first case is well documented in 
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/sec-monitoring-io.html

This means than I can use a callback when there is data to read from a 
file or from a socket.

The use in the second case is not clear. The socket file descriptor is 
created with socket(), and is used with accept() to create a connection 
to a client. My intention is to use a callback when a client tries to 
connect to the server.

Any help about this?

Thanks a lot,
