Description

This simple class allows applications to map ports on UPnP routers. It implements the basic functionalities to map ports to external ports. It also allows implementations to know the external port from the router's perspective.

Every call to this object, including its creation, MUST always be done using the same thread local GMainContext pushed via g_main_context_push_thread_default();

Functions

gupnp_simple_igd_new ()

GUPnPSimpleIgd *
gupnp_simple_igd_new (void);

This creates a new GUPnpSimpleIgd object using the special GMainContext

Returns

a new GUPnPSimpleIgd

gupnp_simple_igd_add_port ()

void
gupnp_simple_igd_add_port (GUPnPSimpleIgd *self,
                           const gchar *protocol,
                           guint16 external_port,
                           const gchar *local_ip,
                           guint16 local_port,
                           guint32 lease_duration,
                           const gchar *description);

This adds a port to the router's forwarding table. The mapping will be automatically refreshed by this object until it is either removed with gupnp_simple_igd_remove_port(), gupnp_simple_igd_remove_port_local() or the object disapears.

If there is a problem, the “error-mapping-port” signal will be emitted. If a router is found and a port is mapped correctly, “mapped-external-port” will be emitted. These signals may be emitted multiple times if there are multiple routers present.

Parameters

self

The GUPnPSimpleIgd object

  

protocol

the protocol "UDP" or "TCP"

  

external_port

The port to try to open on the external device, 0 means to try a random port if the same port as the local port is already taken

  

local_ip

The IP address to forward packets to (most likely the local ip address)

  

local_port

The local port to forward packets to

  

lease_duration

The duration of the lease (it will be auto-renewed before it expires). This is in seconds.

  

description

The description that will appear in the router's table

  

gupnp_simple_igd_remove_port ()

void
gupnp_simple_igd_remove_port (GUPnPSimpleIgd *self,
                              const gchar *protocol,
                              guint external_port);

This tries to remove a port entry from the routers that was previously added with gupnp_simple_igd_add_port(). There is no indicated of success or failure it is a best effort mechanism. If it fails, the bindings will disapears after the lease duration set when the port where added.

Parameters

self

The GUPnPSimpleIgd object

  

protocol

the protocol "UDP" or "TCP" as given to gupnp_simple_igd_add_port()

  

external_port

The port to try to open on the external device as given to gupnp_simple_igd_add_port()

  

gupnp_simple_igd_delete_all_mappings ()

gboolean
gupnp_simple_igd_delete_all_mappings (GUPnPSimpleIgd *self);

Removes all mappings and prevents other from being formed Should only be called by the dispose function of subclasses

Parameters

self

a GUPnPSimpleIgd

  

Returns

TRUE if the object can be disposed, FALSE otherwise

gupnp_simple_igd_remove_port_local ()

void

                                    const gchar *local_ip,
                                    guint16 local_port);

This tries to remove a port entry from the routers that was previously added with gupnp_simple_igd_add_port(). There is no indicated of success or failure it is a best effort mechanism. If it fails, the bindings will disapears after the lease duration set when the port where added.

Parameters

Property Details

The “main-context” property

  “main-context”             gpointer

This GMainContext will be used for all async activities.

Flags: Read

Signal Details

The “context-available” signal

gboolean
user_function (GUPnPSimpleIgd *self,
               GObject        *context,
               gpointer        user_data)

This is to allow the application to control which GUPnPContext this client should use. If the application connects to this signal, it controls if a context will be used by changing the return value of the signal handler.

Parameters

self

GUPnPSimpleIgd that emitted the signal

  

context

a GUPnPContext

  

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

  

Returns

FALSE if the context should be used or TRUE if it should be ignored

Flags: Run Last

The “error-mapping-port” signal

void
user_function (GUPnPSimpleIgd *self,
               GError         *error,
               gchar          *proto,
               guint           external_port,
               gchar          *local_ip,
               guint           local_port,
               gchar          *description,
               gpointer        user_data)
