MODBUS_SEND_RAW_REQU(3) 					 Libmodbus Manual					   MODBUS_SEND_RAW_REQU(3)

NAME

       modbus_send_raw_request - send a raw request

SYNOPSIS

       int modbus_send_raw_request(modbus_t *ctx, uint8_t *raw_req, int 'raw_req_length);

DESCRIPTION

       The modbus_send_raw_request() function shall send a request via the socket of the context ctx. This function must be used for debugging
       purposes because you have to take care to make a valid request by hand. The function only adds to the message, the header or CRC of the
       selected backend, so raw_req must start and contain at least a slave/unit identifier and a function code. This function can be used to send
       request not handled by the library.

RETURN VALUE

       The modbus_send_raw_request() function shall return the full message length, counting the extra data relating to the backend, if
       successful. Otherwise it shall return -1 and set errno.

EXAMPLE

	   modbus_t *ctx;
	   /* Read 5 holding registers from address 1 */
	   uint8_t raw_req[] = { 0xFF, 0x03, 0x00, 0x01, 0x0, 0x05 };
	   int req_length;
	   uint8_t rsp[MODBUS_TCP_MAX_ADU_LENGTH];

	   ctx = modbus_new_tcp("127.0.0.1", 1502);
	   if (modbus_connect(ctx) == -1) {
	       fprintf(stderr, "Connection failed: %s
", modbus_strerror(errno));
	       modbus_free(ctx);
	       return -1;
	   }

	   req_length = modbus_send_raw_request(ctx, raw_req, 6 * sizeof(uint8_t));
	   modbus_receive_confirmation(ctx, rsp);

	   modbus_close(ctx);
	   modbus_free(ctx);

NAME

       modbus_tcp_listen - create and listen a TCP Modbus socket

SYNOPSIS

       int modbus_tcp_listen(modbus_t *ctx, int nb_connection);

DESCRIPTION

       The modbus_tcp_listen() function shall create a socket and listen for nb_connection incoming connections.

RETURN VALUE

       The modbus_tcp_listen() function shall return a new socket if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1 and set errno.

EXAMPLE

       For a detailed example, see source file bandwith-server-many-up.c provided in tests directory.

	   ...

	   ctx = modbus_new_tcp("127.0.0.1", 502);
	   if (modbus_connect(ctx) == -1) {
	       fprintf(stderr, "Connection failed: %s
", modbus_strerror(errno));
	       modbus_free(ctx);
	       return -1;
	   }

	   /* Handle until 10 established connections */
	   server_socket = modbus_tcp_listen(ctx, 10);

	   /* Clear the reference set of socket */
	   FD_ZERO(&refset);

	   /* Add the server socket */
	   FD_SET(server_socket, &refset);

	   if (select(server_socket + 1, &refset, NULL, NULL, NULL) == -1) {
	   }

	   ...

	   close(server_socket);
	   modbus_free(ctx);
