NAME

SockUAddConnection - add a new client connection

SYNOPSIS

#include <SocketUtilities.h>

int SockUAddConnection(SockUConnection **links, int fd)

DESCRIPTION

SockUAddConnection() adds a client accessible through file descriptor fd to the server's list of connected clients, links. If a client accesses the server through the server's socket, then this function should not be called; the connection should be made with SockUGetNextConnection(). However, for unusual clients, this function may be useful. For instance, some clients may not even be socket-connected. So, a connection to stdin or an open file may be made, and will be handled the same as a socket connection. All that is required of a client is that it is accessible via a known file descriptor.

RETURN VALUE

SockUAddConnection() returns 1 if the file descriptor fd was not present in the list in links, but was added to the end of the list. A 0 is returned if the file descriptor was already present in the list, in which case this function does not add or modify anything.
