API reference
OVR_Packet.h File
A packet owned by an ovrInstalledApplicationHandle is a basic unit of data transmission over a network, allowing devices to communicate with each other efficiently and reliably. UDP and TCP are two protocols that govern how those packets are transmitted over a network. UDP is suitable for applications that require fast transmission and can tolerate some packet loss, while TCP is better suited for applications that require reliable data transfer.
Typedefs
struct ovrPacket * ovrPacketHandle
Functions
void ovr_Packet_Free
( const ovrPacketHandle obj )
This method is used to release the memory of a packet which is owned by an ovrInstalledApplicationHandle and contains data transmitted over the network.
const void * ovr_Packet_GetBytes
( const ovrPacketHandle obj )
This size field represents the size of the packet in bytes. Ideally, it is recommended to keep a message under 1200 bytes so that data can fit into a single packet.
ovrID ovr_Packet_GetSenderID
( const ovrPacketHandle obj )
This id field represents the id of the sender of the packet.
size_t ovr_Packet_GetSize
( const ovrPacketHandle obj )
