Networking API Reference - Windows API

Overview

This document provides a comprehensive guide to the Windows API's networking functions. It covers core functionality, including packet creation, reception, and management.

Packet Creation

The API allows creation of various types of network packets for different purposes.

• CreatePacket: The primary method for creating packets.
• CreateUDPPacket: Creates a UDP packet.
• CreateTCPPacket: Creates a TCP packet.

Packet Reception

Receiving packets involves parsing and decoding data.

• ReceivePacket: Receives data packets.
• ParsePacket: Processes the packet data.

Key Functions

This section details important functions used for networking.

• GetPacket: Retrieves a packet by ID.
• SetPacket: Sets the data of a packet.
• DeletePacket: Deletes a packet.
• IsPacketPresent: Checks if a packet is currently present.

Example Code Snippets

Note: These are simplified snippets; production code should be more robust.

                
                // Example: Create a UDP packet
                const createUDPPacket = (data) => {
                    const udpPacket = {
                        type: 'UDP',
                        data: data
                    };
                    return udpPacket;
                };

                // Example: Receive a packet
                const receivePacket = (packetData) => {
                    // Simplified receive logic - in a real system, this would involve detailed parsing
                    console.log("Received packet data:", packetData);
                    return true;
                };

                // Example:  Set a packet
                const setPacket = (packetData) => {
                    const packet = {
                        data: packetData
                    };
                    console.log("Set packet data:", packet);
                    return packet;
                };

                // Example: Delete a packet (Conceptual - requires more context)
                const deletePacket = (packetId) => {
                    // Placeholder - needs more implementation
                    console.log("Deleting packet:", packetId);
                };

                console.log("Example Functions Complete");
