NSPort subclass

[Thierry DELHAISE]

Hi the list,


I'have to develop a daemon with quite complex task, so I think  
gnustep-base can help me realise this task.

I plan to use NSRunLoop and NSNotificationCenter. Others class too,  
but regarding the subject of my mail , just those two will be  
mentionned ;-)

NSRunLoop accept "Input" for any subclass of NSPort. I've found  
NSSocketPort wich could make the job, but I think NSSocketPort is  
closed to DO and so any packets receive by a NSSocketPort will be  
interpret has a DO request by the way of NSConnection. Right or not  
on that ?

So I would like to develop a NSNetPort (allways based on socket) but  
wich will deliver some Notifications when some input arrive. If I  
allready take a look on how to do that, I would like to know if the  
default behavior of a NSPort subclass is not to make only DO. Since  
if I add my new NSNetPort to the RunLoop, it will not try basicaly to  
process a DO request when it will call my getFDS subclass method ?

Finaly, If it's not the right way to go, how can I do the job  
(allways by using NSRunLoop and NSDefaultCenter) : what kind of class  
or subclass I have to provide ?


Thx for advices


Thierry.
