FreeRTOS_FD_SET()

[FreeRTOS Embedded IP Stack API]

FreeRTOS_sockets.h 
BaseType_t FreeRTOS_FD_SET( xSocket_t xSocket, xSocketSet_t xSocketSet );

Add a socket to a socket set.

Socket Sets allow an application task to block when reading from multiple sockets at the same time. Instead of blocking on an individual socket, a task instead blocks on the set.

To use a socket set:

  1. Create a socket set by calling FreeRTOS_CreateSocketSet(). A socket set is equivalent to the Berkeley sockets fd_set type.

  2. Add one or more sockets to the set using calls to FreeRTOS_FD_SET(). FreeRTOS_FD_SET() is equivalent to the Berkeley sockets FD_SET() macro.

  3. Call FreeRTOS_Select() to test the sockets in the set to see if any contain data that is waiting to be read.

  4. Read from the socket returned by FreeRTOS_select() (if any) using a call to FreeRTOS_recvfrom() as normal.
A socket can only be a member of one set at any time.

FreeRTOS_FD_CLR() removes a socket from a set.

Parameters:

xSocket   The socket being added to the set.

xSocketSet   The socket set to which the socket is being added.

Returns:

If the socket was added to the set then pdPASS is returned. If the socket was not added to the set because it is already a member of a set then pdFAIL is returned.

Example usage:

See the example on the FreeRTOS_select() documentation page.
