</dl>
<h3>Description</h3>
<blockquote>
This function deals with any pending websocket traffic, for three
kinds of event.  It handles these events on both server and client
types of connection the same.
<p>
1) Accept new connections to our context's server
<p>
2) Perform pending broadcast writes initiated from other forked
processes (effectively serializing asynchronous broadcasts)
<p>
3) Call the receive callback for incoming frame data received by
server or client connections.
<p>
You need to call this service function periodically to all the above
functions to happen; if your application is single-threaded you can
just call it in your main event loop.
<p>
Alternatively you can fork a new process that asynchronously handles
calling this service in a loop.  In that case you are happy if this
call blocks your thread until it needs to take care of something and
would call it with a large nonzero timeout.  Your loop then takes no
CPU while there is nothing happening.
<p>
If you are calling it in a single-threaded app, you don't want it to
wait around blocking other things in your loop from happening, so you
would call it with a timeout_ms of 0, so it returns immediately if
nothing is pending, or as soon as it services whatever was pending.

<h3>Description</h3>
<blockquote>
This function creates the listening socket and takes care
of all initialization in one step.
<p>
After initialization, it returns a struct libwebsocket_context * that
represents this server.  After calling, user code needs to take care
of calling <b>libwebsocket_service</b> with the context pointer to get the
server's sockets serviced.  This can be done in the same process context
or a forked process, or another thread,
<p>
The protocol callback functions are called for a handful of events
including http requests coming in, websocket connections becoming
established, and data arriving; it's also called periodically to allow
async transmission.
<p>
HTTP requests are sent always to the FIRST protocol in <tt><b>protocol</b></tt>, since
at that time websocket protocol has not been negotiated.  Other
protocols after the first one never see any HTTP callack activity.
<p>
The server created is a simple http server by default; part of the
websocket standard is upgrading this http connection to a websocket one.
<p>
This allows the same server to provide files like scripts and favicon /
images or whatever over http and dynamic data over websockets all in
one place; they're all handled in the user callback.

<h3>Description</h3>
<blockquote>
This function allows bulk sending of a packet to every connection using

the callback with a reason type of LWS_CALLBACK_BROADCAST.  If the callback
wants to actually send the data for that connection, the callback itself
should call <b>libwebsocket_write</b>.

<h3>Arguments</h3>
<dl>
<dt><b>wsi</b>
<dd>Websocket instance (available from user callback)
<dt><b>buf</b>
<dd>The data to send.  For data being sent on a websocket
connection (ie, not default http), this buffer MUST have
LWS_SEND_BUFFER_PRE_PADDING bytes valid BEFORE the pointer
and an additional LWS_SEND_BUFFER_POST_PADDING bytes valid
in the buffer after (buf + len).  This is so the protocol
header and trailer data can be added in-situ.
<dt><b>len</b>
<dd>Count of the data bytes in the payload starting from buf
<dt><b>protocol</b>
<dd>Use LWS_WRITE_HTTP to reply to an http connection, and one
of LWS_WRITE_BINARY or LWS_WRITE_TEXT to send appropriate
data on a websockets connection.  Remember to allow the extra
bytes before and after buf if LWS_WRITE_BINARY or LWS_WRITE_TEXT
are used.

<h3>Description</h3>
<blockquote>
This function provides the way to issue data back to the client
for both http and websocket protocols.
<p>
In the case of sending using websocket protocol, be sure to allocate
valid storage before and after buf as explained above.  This scheme
allows maximum efficiency of sending data and protocol in a single
packet while not burdening the user code with any protocol knowledge.

<h3>Description</h3>
<blockquote>
This function is intended to be called from the callback if the
user code is interested in "complete packets" from the client.
libwebsockets just passes through payload as it comes and issues a buffer
additionally when it hits a built-in limit.  The LWS_CALLBACK_RECEIVE
callback handler can use this API to find out if the buffer it has just
been given is the last piece of a "complete packet" from the client --
when that is the case <b>libwebsockets_remaining_packet_payload</b> will return
0.

Many protocols won't care becuse their packets are always small.

</blockquote>
<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP</h3>
<blockquote>
an http request has come from a client that is not
asking to upgrade the connection to a websocket
one.  This is a chance to serve http content,
for example, to send a script to the client
which will then open the websockets connection.
<tt><b>in</b></tt> points to the URI path requested and
<b>libwebsockets_serve_http_file</b> makes it very
simple to send back a file to the client.
</blockquote>
<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_CLIENT_WRITEABLE</h3>
<blockquote>
if you call
<b>libwebsocket_callback_on_writable</b> on a connection, you will
get this callback coming when the connection socket is able to
accept another write packet without blocking.  If it already
was able to take another packet without blocking, you'll get

<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_NETWORK_CONNECTION</h3>
<blockquote>
called when a client connects to

passed to this callback to decide whether to hang up immediately
or not, based on the client IP.  <tt><b>user</b></tt> contains the connection
socket's descriptor.  Return non-zero to terminate
the connection before sending or receiving anything.
Because this happens immediately after the network connection
from the client, there's no websocket protocol selected yet so
this callback is issued only to protocol 0.
</blockquote>
<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_FILTER_PROTOCOL_CONNECTION</h3>
<blockquote>
called when the handshake has
been received and parsed from the client, but the response is
not sent yet.  Return non-zero to disallow the connection.
<tt><b>user</b></tt> is a pointer to an array of struct lws_tokens, you can

</blockquote>
<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_OPENSSL_PERFORM_CLIENT_CERT_VERIFICATION</h3>
<blockquote>
if the
libwebsockets context was created with the option
LWS_SERVER_OPTION_REQUIRE_VALID_OPENSSL_CLIENT_CERT, then this
callback is generated during OpenSSL verification of the cert
sent from the client.  It is sent to protocol[0] callback as
no protocol has been negotiated on the connection yet.
Notice that the libwebsockets context and wsi are both NULL
during this callback.  See
</blockquote>
<h3>http</h3>
<blockquote>
//www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_verify.html
to understand more detail about the OpenSSL callback that
generates this libwebsockets callback and the meanings of the
arguments passed.  In this callback, <tt><b>user</b></tt> is the x509_ctx,
<tt><b>in</b></tt> is the ssl pointer and <tt><b>len</b></tt> is preverify_ok
Notice that this callback maintains libwebsocket return
conventions, return 0 to mean the cert is OK or 1 to fail it.
This also means that if you don't handle this callback then
the default callback action of returning 0 allows the client
certificates.
</blockquote>
<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_CLIENT_APPEND_HANDSHAKE_HEADER</h3>
<blockquote>
this callback happens
when a client handshake is being compiled.  <tt><b>user</b></tt> is NULL,
<tt><b>in</b></tt> is a char **, it's pointing to a char * which holds the
next location in the header buffer where you can add
headers, and <tt><b>len</b></tt> is the remaining space in the header buffer,
which is typically some hundreds of bytes.  So, to add a canned
cookie, your handler code might look similar to:
<p>
char **p = (char **)in;
<p>
if (len &lt; 100)
return 1;
<p>
*p += sprintf(*p, "Cookie: a=b\x0d\x0a");
<p>
return 0;
<p>
Notice if you add anything, you just have to take care about
the CRLF on the line you added.  Obviously this callback is
optional, if you don't handle it everything is fine.
<p>
Notice the callback is coming to protocols[0] all the time,
because there is no specific protocol handshook yet.
<p>
The next four reasons are optional and only need taking care of if you
will be integrating libwebsockets sockets into an external polling
array.
</blockquote>
<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_ADD_POLL_FD</h3>
<blockquote>
libwebsocket deals with its <b>poll</b> loop
internally, but in the case you are integrating with another
server you will need to have libwebsocket sockets share a
polling array with the other server.  This and the other
POLL_FD related callbacks let you put your specialized
poll array interface code in the callback for protocol 0, the
first protocol you support, usually the HTTP protocol in the
serving case.  This callback happens when a socket needs to be
</blockquote>
<h3>added to the polling loop</h3>
<blockquote>
<tt><b>user</b></tt> contains the fd, and
<tt><b>len</b></tt> is the events bitmap (like, POLLIN).  If you are using the
internal polling loop (the "service" callback), you can just
ignore these callbacks.
</blockquote>
<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_DEL_POLL_FD</h3>
<blockquote>
This callback happens when a socket descriptor
needs to be removed from an external polling array.  <tt><b>user</b></tt> is
the socket desricptor.  If you are using the internal polling
loop, you can just ignore it.
</blockquote>
<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_SET_MODE_POLL_FD</h3>
<blockquote>
This callback happens when libwebsockets
wants to modify the events for the socket descriptor in <tt><b>user</b></tt>.
The handler should OR <tt><b>len</b></tt> on to the events member of the pollfd
struct for this socket descriptor.  If you are using the
internal polling loop, you can just ignore it.
</blockquote>
<h3>LWS_CALLBACK_CLEAR_MODE_POLL_FD</h3>
<blockquote>
This callback occurs when libwebsockets
wants to modify the events for the socket descriptor in <tt><b>user</b></tt>.
The handler should AND ~<tt><b>len</b></tt> on to the events member of the
pollfd struct for this socket descriptor.  If you are using the
