active
ModuleThe active utility module provides a single, non-redefinable variable that holds information about active connections:
active_conn : table[conn_id] of connection
conn_id
giving the
originator/responder addresses/ports, returns the connection's
connection
record. As usual, accessing
the table with a non-existing index results in a run-time error,
so you should first test for the presence of the index using
the in
operator.
Default: empty.
This functionality is quite similar to that of the active_connection
function, and Deficiency:arguably this module should be removed in favor of the function. It does, however, provide a useful example of maintaining
bookkeeping by defining additional handlers for events that already have
handlers elsewhere.
