daveInterface

A structure representing the physical connection to a PLC or a network of PLCs (e.g. like MPI). daveInterface stores all those properties that are common to a network of PLCs:

• The local address used by your computer.
• The speed used in this network.
• The protocol type used in this network.
• A name which is used when printing out debug messages.

The structure daveInterface is created and initialized by daveNewInterface:

daveInterface* di;
di = daveNewInterface(fds, "IF1", localMPI, daveProtoXXX, daveSpeedYYY);

or in D

auto sock = new TcpSocket(new InternetAddress(ip, to!(ushort)(port)));
fds.wfd = fds.rfd = sock.handle;
daveInterface* di = daveNewInterface(fds, "IF1", 0, daveProtoISOTCP, daveSpeed9k);
