Gateway device having socket library for monitoring, communication method of gateway device having socket library for monitoring, and communication program of gateway device having socket library for monitoring

Abstract

Provided is a socket library for monitoring that allows the communication data of a process A to be easily shared by the other processes by way of a socket API. The gateway device uses a socket library for monitoring in which communication content of an application can be shared by a plurality of other applications, the gateway device including a shared memory space provided in the socket library for monitoring; a listen socket controlling section provided in the shared memory space, the listen socket controlling section being for storing a listen socket of an owner process; a process controlling section provided in the shared memory space, the process controlling section being for transmitting and receiving the owner process and the monitoring process; a connected socket controlling section provided in the shared memory space, the connected socket controlling section being for storing a connected socket; a session controlling section for storing a communication session; and a message controlling section for storing communication data that have been actually transmitted and received.
