NSBClient (Base Class)

Both NSBAppClient and NSBSimClient inherit from NSBClient. You typically do not instantiate this directly.

class NSBClient {
public:
    NSBClient(const std::string& identifier, std::string serverAddress, int serverPort);
    ~NSBClient();

    const std::string getId() const;  // returns the client identifier
    void initialize();                // sends INIT to daemon, receives config
    bool ping();                      // sends PING, returns true if daemon responds
    void exit();                      // graceful EXIT message to daemon
};

Method Descriptions​

getId()​

Returns the client identifier passed into the constructor.

initialize()​

Sends an INIT message to the daemon and receives the system Config struct in response. Called automatically by the NSBAppClient and NSBSimClient constructors — you don't need to call this yourself in normal usage.

ping()​

Sends a PING message and returns true if the daemon responds. Useful for liveness checks.

exit()​

Sends a graceful EXIT message to the daemon, signaling disconnection.
