cnet's layers and functionsDescriptions of cnet's core functions are available from here. In each section functions are presented as ANSI-C prototypes, often with an example of their use.Most library functions return the integer 0 on success and the integer -1 on failure. The most recent error status is reflected in the global variable cnet_errno. All values of cnet_errno will be instances of the enumerated type CnetError. Errors may be reported to stderr with cnet_perror() and their error message string accessed from cnet_errstr[(int)cnet_errno].
Function restrictionsNote that calls to the functions
CNET_write_application, CNET_read_application, CNET_enable_application, CNET_disable_application and CNET_set_handler(EV_APPLICATIONLAYER,...) and CNET_set_handler(EV_KEYBOARDREADY,...)are only valid if called from a node of node type NT_HOST. Function calls to either the Application or Physical Layers are invalid when cnet is not running (this can occur when the simulation is running under a windowing system, is paused, and a node's debug button is selected).
