## Functions

### gssdp_client_new ()

    GSSDPClient *
    gssdp_client_new (GMainContext *main_context,

                      GError **error);

#### Parameters

main_context | Deprecated: 0.11.2: Always set to NULL. If you want to specify a context use `g_main_context_push_thread_default()`. | [allow-none]

error | Location to store error, or NULL |

#### Returns

A new GSSDPClient object.

#### Returns

The network interface name. This string should not be freed.

### gssdp_client_get_host_ip ()

network | The string identifying the network |

### gssdp_client_get_network ()

    const char *
    gssdp_client_get_network (GSSDPClient *client);

Get the network this client is associated with.

#### Parameters

The network identification. This string should not be freed.

### gssdp_client_get_active ()

    gboolean
    gssdp_client_get_active (GSSDPClient *client);

#### Parameters

client | A GSSDPClient |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if `client` is active, `FALSE` otherwise.

### gssdp_client_append_header ()

    void
    gssdp_client_append_header (GSSDPClient *client,
                                const char *name,
                                const char *value);

Adds a header field to the message sent by this `client` . It is intended to be used by clients requiring vendor specific header fields. (If there is an existing header with name name , then this creates a second one).

#### Parameters

client | A GSSDPClient |
name | Header name |
value | Header value |

### gssdp_client_clear_headers ()

    void
    gssdp_client_clear_headers (GSSDPClient *client);

Removes all the headers for this `client` .

#### Parameters

client | A GSSDPClient |

### gssdp_client_remove_header ()

    void
    gssdp_client_remove_header (GSSDPClient *client,
                                const char *name);

Removes `name` from the list of headers . If there are multiple values for `name` , they are all removed.

#### Parameters

client | A GSSDPClient |
name | Header name |

## Types and Values

## Property Details

### The `“active”` property

      “active”                   gboolean

Whether this client is active or not (passive). When active (default), the client sends messages on the network, otherwise not. In most cases, you don't want to touch this property.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE

### The `“host-ip”` property

      “host-ip”                  gchar *

The IP address of the assoicated network interface.

Flags: Read

Default value: NULL

### The `“interface”` property

      “interface”                gchar *

The name of the network interface this client is associated with. Set to NULL to autodetect.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: NULL

### The `“main-context”` property

      “main-context”             gpointer

The GMainContext to use. Set to NULL to use the default.

`GSSDPClient:main-context` has been deprecated since version 0.11.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `g_main_context_push_thread_default()`.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

### The `“msearch-port”` property

      “msearch-port”             guint

UDP port to use for sending multicast M-SEARCH requests on the network. If not set (or set to 0) a random port will be used. This property can be only set during object construction.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Allowed values: <= 65535

Default value: 0

### The `“network”` property

      “network”                  gchar *

The network this client is currently connected to. You could set this to anything you want to identify the network this client is associated with. If you are using GUPnPContextManager and associated interface is a WiFi interface, this property is set to the ESSID of the network. Otherwise, expect this to be the network IP address by default.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: NULL

### The `“server-id”` property

      “server-id”                gchar *

The SSDP server's identifier.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

### The `“socket-ttl”` property

      “socket-ttl”               guint

Time-to-live value to use for all sockets created by this client. If not set (or set to 0) the value recommended by UPnP will be used. This property can only be set during object construction.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Allowed values: <= 255

Default value: 0

## Signal Details

### The `“message-received”` signal

    user_function (GSSDPClient *client,

                   guint        from_port,
                   gint         type,
                   gpointer     headers,
                   gpointer     user_data)

Internal signal.

#### Parameters

from_ip | The IP address of the source. |
from_port | The UDP port used by the sender. |
type | The _GSSDPMessageType. |
