Hi all,
I would like a sample snipplet of code to get help on the following problem:
After having set up a rfcommm connection from my notebook to a mobile phone I
need to get the response data from the mobile device. I can read from the
socket using 'recv()' but if no data is there at thaht moment this will block
the process or pause my program. What I need to do is get a signal on 'data
available' on the socket for reading or a non blocking read. I heard there is
a function 'select()' .. but it does not seem to work or I don't understand
it. It needs to be as simple as possible.
This is what I have now:
// init + declare variables
fd_set readFds;
struct timeval timeout;
struct sockaddr_rc addr = { 0 };
int rfcomm_sock, status;
// allocate a socket
rfcomm_sock = socket(AF_BLUETOOTH, SOCK_STREAM, BTPROTO_RFCOMM);
// set the connection parameters (who to connect to)
addr.rc_family = AF_BLUETOOTH;
addr.rc_channel = (uint8_t) dest_channel;
str2ba( dest, &addr.rc_bdaddr );
// connect to server, here mobile phone
status = connect(rfcomm_sock, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
timeout.tv_sec=5;
timeout.tv_usec=0;
FD_ZERO(&readFds);
FD_SET(rfcomm_socket, &readFds);
if (select(rfcommsocket + 1, &readFds, NULL, NULL, &timeout) == 0)
{
printf("timed out");
}
else
printf("data ready for read");
Anyone done this before? I have seen something like this in the source file
'sdp.c' but somehow I am missing something.
Thanks for your help in advance.

This is correct. A read() will block your thread completely.
You have two options:
- Write from one thread and read from another (Doesn't sound interesting!)
- Use select

Ahh, I assume that rfcomm_sock, rfcomm_socket and rfcommsocket refer to the
same thing.
God! did the above code ever compile??
Try the following code snippet which works for me:
fd_set readfds;
FD_ZERO(&readfds);
FD_SET(rfcomm_sock, &readfds);
while(1) {
int ready = select(FD_SETSIZE, &readfds, 0, 0, 0);
if(ready == 0)
continue;
if(ready == -1 && errno != EINTR)
break;
if(FD_ISSET(rfcomm_sock, &readfds)) {
/* You've got something on rfcomm_sock, perform a read */
int size = 1024;
size = read(rfcomm_sock, &buf, 1024);//buf is a char array declared
somewhere
/* Now, you have got the data in buf, parse it for the SAP header and
send a response if required */
}
}
Hope that helps.

don't do this. Use memset() instead.

Why do you cast here. No need in doing this. Get you declarations right.

What is it? rfcomm_sock, rfcomm_socket or rfcommsocket. Get your code
clean.

And you should check the manual page of select() or move over using
poll(). This might be a better example:
while (1) {
fd_set rset;
FD_ZERO(&rset);
FD_SET(sk, &rset);
if (select(sk + 1, &rset, NULL, NULL, NULL) < 0)
break;
if (!FD_ISSET(sk, &rset))
continue;
...
}
