◆ canEscape()

bool yarp::os::impl::NameserCarrier::canEscape ( ) const
overridevirtual

Check if carrier can encode administrative messages, as opposed to just user data.

◆ checkHeader()

bool yarp::os::impl::NameserCarrier::checkHeader ( const Bytes header)
overridevirtual

Given the first 8 bytes received on a connection, decide if this is the right carrier type to use for the rest of the connection.
