nmap/nselib/comm.lua

---
-- Common communication functions for network discovery tasks like
-- banner grabbing and data exchange.
--
-- The functions in this module return values appropriate for use with
-- exception handling via <code>nmap.new_try</code>.
--
-- These functions may be passed a table of options, but it's not required. The
-- keys for the options table are:
-- * <code>bytes</code> - minimum number of bytes to read.
-- * <code>lines</code> - minimum number of lines to read.
-- * <code>proto</code> - string, protocol to use. Default <code>"tcp"</code>
-- * <code>timeout</code> - override timeout in milliseconds. This overrides all other timeout defaults, but can be overridden by specific connect and request timeouts (below)
-- * <code>connect_timeout</code> - socket timeout for connection. Default: same as <code>stdnse.get_timeout</code>
-- * <code>request_timeout</code> - additional socket timeout for requests. This is added to the connect_timeout to get a total time for a request to receive a response. Default: 5000ms
-- * <code>recv_before</code> - boolean, receive data before sending first payload
--
-- If both <code>"bytes"</code> and <code>"lines"</code> are provided,
-- <code>"lines"</code> takes precedence. If neither are given, the functions
-- read as many bytes as possible.
