getSocketClients: Get infos about socket clients
Description
List all clients currently connected to a given R socket server, or their
names (sockXXX).Usage
getSocketClients(port = 8888)
getSocketClientsNames(port = 8888)
Arguments
port
the port of the R socket server.
Value
getSocketClients() returns a vector of character string with the
address of clients in the form XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:YYY where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is
their ip address and YYY is their port. For security reasons, only localhost
clients (on the same machine) can connect to the socket server. Thus,
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is ALWAYS 127.0.0.1. However, the function returns the full IP
address, just in case of further extensions in the future. The name of these
items equals the corresponding Tcl socket name.
getSocketClientsNames() returns only a list of the socket client names.
