                                      GError **error);

Sends multiple messages on the socket identified by the given stream/component pair. Transmission is non-blocking, so a G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK error may be returned if the send buffer is full.

As with nice_agent_send(), the given component must be in NICE_COMPONENT_STATE_READY or, as a special case, in any state if it was previously ready and was then restarted.

On success, the number of messages written to the socket will be returned, which may be less than n_messages if transmission would have blocked part-way through. Zero will be returned if n_messages is zero, or if transmission would have blocked on the first message.

In reliable mode, it is instead recommended to use nice_agent_send(). The return value can be less than n_messages or 0 even if it is still possible to send a partial message. In this case, "nice-agent-writable" will never be triggered, so the application would have to use nice_agent_sent() to fill the buffer or have to retry sending at a later point.

On failure, -1 will be returned and error will be set. If the NiceAgent is reliable and the socket is not yet connected, G_IO_ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE will be returned; if the write buffer is full, G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK will be returned. In both cases, wait for the “reliable-transport-writable” signal before trying again. If the given stream_id or component_id are invalid or not yet connected, G_IO_ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE will be returned. G_IO_ERROR_FAILED will be returned for other errors.

                          GError **error);

Block on receiving data from the given stream/component combination on agent , returning only once exactly n_messages messages have been received and written into messages , the stream is closed by the other end or by calling nice_agent_remove_stream(), or cancellable is cancelled.

Any STUN packets received will not be added to messages ; instead, they'll be passed for processing to NiceAgent itself. Since NiceAgent does not poll for messages on its own, it's therefore essential to keep calling this function for ICE connection establishment to work.

In the non-error case, in reliable mode, this will block until all buffers in all n_messages have been filled with received data (i.e. messages is treated as a large, flat array of buffers). In non-reliable mode, it will block until n_messages messages have been received, each of which does not have to fill all the buffers in its NiceInputMessage. In the non-reliable case, each NiceInputMessage must have enough buffers to contain an entire message (65536 bytes), or any excess data may be silently dropped.

For each received message, “length” will be set to the number of valid bytes stored in the message’s buffers. The bytes are stored sequentially in the buffers; there are no gaps apart from at the end of the buffer array (in non-reliable mode). If non-NULL on input, “from” will have the address of the sending peer stored in it. The base addresses, sizes, and number of buffers in each message will not be modified in any case.

This must not be used in combination with nice_agent_attach_recv() on the same stream/component pair.

If the stream/component pair doesn’t exist, or if a suitable candidate socket hasn’t yet been selected for it, a G_IO_ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE error will be returned. A G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED error will be returned if the operation was cancelled. G_IO_ERROR_FAILED will be returned for other errors.

                                      GError **error);

Try to receive data from the given stream/component combination on agent , without blocking. If receiving data would block, -1 is returned and G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK is set in error . If any other error occurs, -1 is returned and error is set accordingly. Otherwise, 0 is returned if (and only if) n_messages is 0. In all other cases, the number of valid messages stored in messages is returned, and will be greater than 0.

This function behaves similarly to nice_agent_recv_messages(), except that it will not block on filling (in reliable mode) or receiving (in non-reliable mode) exactly n_messages messages. In reliable mode, it will receive bytes into messages until it would block; in non-reliable mode, it will receive messages until it would block.

Any STUN packets received will not be added to messages ; instead, they'll be passed for processing to NiceAgent itself. Since NiceAgent does not poll for messages on its own, it's therefore essential to keep calling this function for ICE connection establishment to work.

As this function is non-blocking, cancellable is included only for parity with nice_agent_recv_messages(). If cancellable is cancelled before this function is called, a G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED error will be returned immediately.

This must not be used in combination with nice_agent_attach_recv() on the same stream/component pair.

                        NiceAgentRecvFunc func,
                        gpointer data);

Attaches the stream's component's sockets to the Glib Mainloop Context in order to be notified whenever data becomes available for a component, and to enable NiceAgent to receive STUN messages (during the establishment of ICE connectivity).

This must not be used in combination with nice_agent_recv_messages() (or NiceIOStream or NiceInputStream) on the same stream/component pair.

Calling nice_agent_attach_recv() with a NULL func will detach any existing callback and cause reception to be paused for the given stream/component pair. You must iterate the previously specified GMainContext sufficiently to ensure all pending I/O callbacks have been received before calling this function to unset func , otherwise data loss of received packets may occur.

Sets the selected remote candidate for media transmission for a given stream's component. This is used to force the selection of a specific remote candidate even when connectivity checks are failing (e.g. non-ICE compatible candidates). Calling this function will disable all further ICE processing (connection check, state machine updates, etc). Note that keepalives will continue to be sent.

nice_agent_restart_stream (NiceAgent *agent,
                           guint stream_id);

nice_agent_get_io_stream ()

GIOStream *
nice_agent_get_io_stream (NiceAgent *agent,
                          guint stream_id,
                          guint component_id);

Gets a GIOStream wrapper around the given stream and component in agent . The I/O stream will be valid for as long as stream_id is valid. The GInputStream and GOutputStream implement GPollableInputStream and GPollableOutputStream.

This function may only be called on reliable NiceAgents. It is a programming error to try and create an I/O stream wrapper for an unreliable stream.

Since 0.1.5

nice_agent_get_selected_socket ()

GSocket *
nice_agent_get_selected_socket (NiceAgent *agent,
                                guint stream_id,
                                guint component_id);

Retreive the local socket associated with the selected candidate pair for media transmission for a given stream's component.

This is useful for adding ICE support to legacy applications that already have a protocol that maintains a connection. If the socket is duplicated before unrefing the agent, the application can take over and continue to use it. New applications are encouraged to use the built in libnice stream handling instead and let libnice handle the connection maintenance.

Users of this method are encouraged to not use a TURN relay or any kind of proxy, as in this case, the socket will not be available to the application because the packets are encapsulated.

Since 0.1.5

nice_agent_get_component_state ()

NiceComponentState
nice_agent_get_component_state (NiceAgent *agent,
                                guint stream_id,
                                guint component_id);

Retrieves the current state of a component.

Since 0.1.8

nice_component_state_to_string ()

const gchar *
nice_component_state_to_string (NiceComponentState state);

Returns a string representation of the state, generally to use in debug messages.

NiceAgent

typedef struct _NiceAgent NiceAgent;

The NiceAgent is the main GObject of the libnice library and represents the ICE agent.

enum NiceComponentState

An enum representing the state of a component.

See also: “component-state-changed”

enum NiceComponentType

Convenience enum representing the type of a component for use as the component_id for RTP/RTCP usages.

1

nice_agent_send (agent, stream_id, NICE_COMPONENT_TYPE_RTP, len, buf);

enum NiceProxyType

An enum to specify which proxy type to use for relaying. Note that the proxies will only be used with TCP TURN relaying.

See also: “proxy-type”

Since 0.0.4

enum NiceCompatibility

An enum to specify which compatible specifications the NiceAgent should use. Use with nice_agent_new()

NiceInputMessage

typedef struct {
  GInputVector *buffers;
  gint n_buffers;  /* may be -1 to indicate @buffers is NULL-terminated */
  NiceAddress *from;  /* return location for address of message sender */
  gsize length;  /* sum of the lengths of @buffers */
} NiceInputMessage;

Represents a single message received off the network. For reliable connections, this is essentially just an array of buffers (specifically, from can be ignored). for non-reliable connections, it represents a single packet as received from the OS.

n_buffers may be -1 to indicate that buffers is terminated by a GInputVector with a NULL buffer pointer.

By providing arrays of NiceInputMessages to functions like nice_agent_recv_messages(), multiple messages may be received with a single call, which is more efficient than making multiple calls in a loop. In this manner, nice_agent_recv_messages() is analogous to recvmmsg(); and NiceInputMessage to struct mmsghdr.

Since 0.1.5

NiceOutputMessage

typedef struct {
  GOutputVector *buffers;
  gint n_buffers;
} NiceOutputMessage;

Represents a single message to transmit on the network. For reliable connections, this is essentially just an array of buffer. for non-reliable connections, it represents a single packet to send to the OS.

n_buffers may be -1 to indicate that buffers is terminated by a GOutputVector with a NULL buffer pointer.

By providing arrays of NiceOutputMessages to functions like nice_agent_send_messages_nonblocking(), multiple messages may be transmitted with a single call, which is more efficient than making multiple calls in a loop. In this manner, nice_agent_send_messages_nonblocking() is analogous to sendmmsg(); and NiceOutputMessage to struct mmsghdr.

Since 0.1.5

NICE_AGENT_MAX_REMOTE_CANDIDATES

#define NICE_AGENT_MAX_REMOTE_CANDIDATES    25

A hard limit for the number of remote candidates. This limit is enforced to protect against malevolent remote clients.

The “bytestream-tcp” property

  “bytestream-tcp”           gboolean

This property defines whether receive/send over a TCP or pseudo-TCP, in reliable mode, are considered as packetized or as bytestream. In unreliable mode, every send/recv is considered as packetized, and this property is ignored and cannot be set.

In reliable mode, this property will always return TRUE in the NICE_COMPATIBILITY_GOOGLE compatibility mode.

If the property is TRUE, the stream is considered in bytestream mode and data can be read with any receive size. If the property is FALSE, then the stream is considred packetized and each receive will return one packet of the same size as what was sent from the peer. If in packetized mode, then doing a receive with a size smaller than the packet, will cause the remaining bytes in the packet to be dropped, breaking the reliability of the stream.

This property is currently read-only, and will become read/write once bytestream mode will be supported.

Flags: Read

Default value: FALSE

Since 0.1.8

The “compatibility” property

  “compatibility”            guint

The Nice agent can work in various compatibility modes depending on what the application/peer needs.

See also: NiceCompatibility

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Allowed values: <= 5

Default value: 0

The “controlling-mode” property

Default value: FALSE

The “full-mode” property

  “full-mode”                gboolean

Whether agent runs in ICE full mode.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: TRUE

The “ice-tcp” property

  “ice-tcp”                  gboolean

Whether the agent should use ICE-TCP when gathering candidates. If the option is disabled, no TCP candidates will be generated. If the agent is in reliable mode, then pseudotcp will need to be used over UDP candidates.

This option should be set before gathering candidates and should not be modified afterwards.

The “ice-tcp” property can be set at the same time as the “ice-udp” property, but both cannot be unset at the same time. If “ice-udp” is set to FALSE, then this property cannot be set to FALSE as well.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE

Since 0.1.8

The “ice-udp” property

  “ice-udp”                  gboolean

Whether the agent should use ICE-UDP when gathering candidates. If the option is disabled, no UDP candidates will be generated. If the agent is in reliable mode, then pseudotcp will not be used since pseudotcp works on top of UDP candidates.

This option should be set before gathering candidates and should not be modified afterwards.

The “ice-udp” property can be set at the same time as the “ice-tcp” property, but both cannot be unset at the same time. If “ice-tcp” is set to FALSE, then this property cannot be set to FALSE as well.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE

Since 0.1.8

The “keepalive-conncheck” property

  “keepalive-conncheck”      gboolean

Use binding requests as keepalives instead of binding indications. This means that the keepalives may time out which will change the component state to NICE_COMPONENT_STATE_FAILED.

Enabing this is a slight violation of RFC 5245 section 10 which recommends using Binding Indications for keepalives.

This is always enabled if the compatibility mode is NICE_COMPATIBILITY_GOOGLE.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

Since 0.1.8

The “main-context” property
