Build of libdatachannel for PB x64 windows, implements WebRTC
Source https://github.com/paullouisageneau/libdatachannel/tree/master
The following details the C API of libdatachannel. The C API is available by including the rtc/rtc.h header.
Unless stated otherwise, functions return RTC_ERR_SUCCESS, defined as 0, on success.
All functions can return the following negative error codes:
RTC_ERR_INVALID: an invalid argument was providedRTC_ERR_FAILURE: a runtime error happenedRTC_ERR_NOT_AVAIL: an element is not available at the momentRTC_ERR_TOO_SMALL: a user-provided buffer is too small
All functions taking pointers as arguments (excepted the opaque user pointer) need the memory to be accessible until the call returns, but it can be safely discarded afterwards.
void rtcInitLogger(rtcLogLevel level, rtcLogCallbackFunc cb)
Arguments:
level: the log level. It must be one of the following:RTC_LOG_NONE,RTC_LOG_FATAL,RTC_LOG_ERROR,RTC_LOG_WARNING,RTC_LOG_INFO,RTC_LOG_DEBUG,RTC_LOG_VERBOSE.cb(optional): the callback to pass the log lines to. If the callback is already set, it is replaced. If NULL after a callback is set, the callback is unset. If NULL on first call, the library will log to stdout instead.
cb must have the following signature:
void myLogCallback(rtcLogLevel level, const char *message)
Arguments:
level: the log level for the current message. It will be one of the following:RTC_LOG_FATAL,RTC_LOG_ERROR,RTC_LOG_WARNING,RTC_LOG_INFO,RTC_LOG_DEBUG,RTC_LOG_VERBOSE.message: a null-terminated string containing the log message
void rtcPreload(void)
An optional call to rtcPreload preloads the global resources used by the library. If it is not called, resources are lazy-loaded when they are required for the first time by a PeerConnection, which for instance prevents from properly timing connection establishment (as the first one will take way more time). The call blocks until preloading is finished. If resources are already loaded, the call has no effect.
void rtcCleanup(void)
An optional call to rtcCleanup unloads the global resources used by the library. The call will block until unloading is done. If Peer Connections, Data Channels, Tracks, or WebSockets created through this API still exist, they will be destroyed. If resources are already unloaded, the call has no effect.
Warning: This function requires all Peer Connections, Data Channels, Tracks, and WebSockets to be destroyed before returning, meaning all callbacks must return before this function returns. Therefore, it must never be called from a callback.
void rtcSetUserPointer(int id, void *user_ptr)
Sets a opaque user pointer for a Peer Connection, Data Channel, Track, or WebSocket. The user pointer will be passed as last argument in each corresponding callback. It will never be accessed in any way. The initial user pointer of a Peer Connection or WebSocket is NULL, and the initial one of a Data Channel or Track is the one of the Peer Connection at the time of creation.
Arguments:
id: the identifier of Peer Connection, Data Channel, Track, or WebSocketuser_ptr: an opaque pointer whose meaning is up to the user
int rtcCreatePeerConnection(const rtcConfiguration *config)
typedef struct {
const char **iceServers;
int iceServersCount;
const char *proxyServer;
const char *bindAddress;

rtcTransportPolicy iceTransportPolicy;
bool enableIceTcp;
bool enableIceUdpMux;
bool disableAutoNegotiation;

uint16_t portRangeBegin;
uint16_t portRangeEnd;
int mtu;

config: the configuration structure, containing:iceServers(optional): an array of pointers on null-terminated ICE server URIs (NULL if unused)iceServersCount(optional): number of URLs in the array pointed byiceServers(0 if unused)proxyServer(optional): if non-NULL, specifies the proxy server URI to use for TURN relaying (ignored with libjuice as ICE backend)bindAddress(optional): if non-NULL, bind only to the given local address (ignored with libnice as ICE backend)certificateType(optional): certificate type, eitherRTC_CERTIFICATE_ECDSAorRTC_CERTIFICATE_RSA(0 orRTC_CERTIFICATE_DEFAULTif default)iceTransportPolicy(optional): ICE transport policy, if set toRTC_TRANSPORT_POLICY_RELAY, the PeerConnection will emit only relayed candidates (0 orRTC_TRANSPORT_POLICY_ALLif default)enableIceTcp: if true, generate TCP candidates for ICE (ignored with libjuice as ICE backend)enableIceUdpMux: if true, connections are multiplexed on the same UDP port (should be combined withportRangeBeginandportRangeEnd, ignored with libnice as ICE backend)disableAutoNegotiation: if true, the user is responsible for callingrtcSetLocalDescriptionafter creating a Data Channel and after setting the remote descriptionforceMediaTransport: if true, the connection allocates the SRTP media transport even if no tracks are present (necessary to add tracks during later renegotiation)portRangeBegin(optional): first port (included) of the allowed local port range (0 if unused)portRangeEnd(optional): last port (included) of the allowed local port (0 if unused)mtu(optional): manually set the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) for the connection (0 if automatic)maxMessageSize(optional): manually set the local maximum message size for Data Channels (0 if default)
Return value: the identifier of the new Peer Connection or a negative error code.
The Peer Connection must be deleted with rtcDeletePeerConnection.
Each entry in iceServers must match the format [("stun"|"turn"|"turns") (":"|"://")][username ":" password "@"]hostname[":" port]["?transport=" ("udp"|"tcp"|"tls")]. The default scheme is STUN, the default port is 3478 (5349 over TLS), and the default transport is UDP. For instance, a STUN server URI could be mystunserver.org, and a TURN server URI could be turn:myuser:12345678@turnserver.org. Note transports TCP and TLS are only available for a TURN server with libnice as ICE backend and govern only the TURN control connection, meaning relaying is always performed over UDP.
The proxyServer URI, if present, must match the format [("http"|"socks5") (":"|"://")][username ":" password "@"]hostname[" :" port]. The default scheme is HTTP, and the default port is 3128 for HTTP or 1080 for SOCKS5.
If the username or password of an URI contains reserved special characters, they must be percent-encoded. In particular, ":" must be encoded as "%3A" and "@" must by encoded as "%40".

It is called when the channel experience an error, either while connecting or open.
int rtcSetMessageCallback(int id, rtcMessageCallbackFunc cb)
cb must have the following signature: void myMessageCallback(int id, const char *message, int size, void *user_ptr)
It is called when the channel receives a message. While it is set, messages can't be received with rtcReceiveMessage.
Track: By default, the track receives data as RTP packets.
int rtcSetBufferedAmountLowCallback(int id, rtcBufferedAmountLowCallbackFunc cb)
cb must have the following signature: void myBufferedAmountLowCallback(int id, void *user_ptr)
It is called when the buffered amount was strictly higher than the threshold (see rtcSetBufferedAmountLowThreshold) and is now lower or equal than the threshold.
int rtcSetAvailableCallback(int id, rtcAvailableCallbackFunc cb)
cb must have the following signature: void myAvailableCallback(int id, void *user_ptr)
It is called when messages are now available to be received with rtcReceiveMessage.
int rtcSendMessage(int id, const char *data, int size)

Arguments:
id: the channel identifierdata: the message datasize: if size >= 0,datais interpreted as a binary message of lengthsize, otherwise it is interpreted as a null-terminated UTF-8 string.
Return value: RTC_ERR_SUCCESS or a negative error code
The message is sent immediately if possible, otherwise it is buffered to be sent later.
Data Channel and WebSocket: If the message may not be sent immediately due to flow control or congestion control, it is buffered until it can actually be sent. You can retrieve the current buffered data size with rtcGetBufferedAmount.
Track: By default, the track expects RTP packets. There is no flow or congestion control, packets are never buffered and rtcGetBufferedAmount always returns 0.
int rtcClose(int id)
Close the channel.
Arguments:
id: the channel identifier
Return value: RTC_ERR_SUCCESS or a negative error code
WebSocket: Like with the JavaScript API, the state will first change to closing, then closed only after the connection has been actually closed.
int rtcDelete(int id)
Deletes the channel.
Arguments:
id: the channel identifier
Return value: RTC_ERR_SUCCESS or a negative error code
If it is not already closed, the channel is implicitly closed before being deleted. After this function has been called, id must not be used in a function call anymore.

Arguments:
id: the channel identifier
Return value: the buffered amount or a negative error code
int rtcSetBufferedAmountLowThreshold(int id, int amount)
Changes the buffered amount threshold under which BufferedAmountLowCallback is called. The callback is called when the buffered amount was strictly superior and gets equal to or lower than the threshold when a message is sent. The initial threshold is 0, meaning the the callback is called each time the buffered amount goes back to zero after being non-zero.
Arguments:
id: the channel identifieramount: the new buffer level threshold
Return value: RTC_ERR_SUCCESS or a negative error code
int rtcReceiveMessage(int id, char *buffer, int *size)
