Constructor & Destructor Documentation

mds::mod::CStdChannel::CStdChannel ( int Type )

Constructor.

Channel type.

mds::mod::CStdChannel::~CStdChannel ( ) [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

void mds::base::CObject::addReference ( ) const [protected, inherited]

Increase the reference counter.

bool mds::mod::CChannel::checkMedium ( int Medium ) const [inherited]

Checks if channel medium is equal to a given value.

bool mds::mod::CChannel::checkType ( int Type ) const [inherited]

Checks if channel type corresponds to a given value.

bool mds::mod::CStdChannel::connect ( unsigned uTimeout = CH_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT ) [virtual]

Connects to the opposite channel side.

If the channel is connection oriented, this function must be called on the client side before any communication!
Returns false on failure or timeout elapsed.

Implements mds::mod::CChannel.

CChannel * mds::mod::CChannel::create	(	EChannelType	eType,
		const std::string &	sDesc
	)		`[static, inherited]`

Creation of a channel which is described by a textual string.

String has the form: "chmedium[:chattrib1[:chattrib2[:...]]]".
Actually, the channel medium can be "stdio", "file", "pipe" and "shm".
Channel attributes depend on the medium.
"stdio" has empty attributes, "file" (:filename), "pipe" (:pipename) and "shm" (:shmname).
Throws CCannotCreate exception on failure!

bool mds::base::CObject::delReference ( ) const [protected, inherited]

Decrease the reference counter.

Returns true if the decremented number of references is lower or equal to zero and object must be deleted.

void mds::mod::CStdChannel::disconnect ( ) [virtual]

Disconnects from the opossite channel side.

The function can be called on the server or client side.

Implements mds::mod::CChannel.

bool mds::mod::CStdChannel::flush ( ) [virtual]

Finalizes all writing/reading operations (flushes internal buffers, etc.).

Implements mds::mod::CChannel.

int mds::mod::CChannel::getMedium ( ) const [inherited]

Returns the channel medium.

int mds::base::CObject::getReferencesCount ( ) const [inherited]

Returns the number of references.

int mds::mod::CChannel::getType ( ) const [inherited]

Method returns the channel type.

bool mds::mod::CStdChannel::isConnected ( ) [virtual]

Method for testing channel errors such as: disconnected or broken channel, reading after end of input, etc.

The function can be called on the server or client side.

Implements mds::mod::CChannel.

bool mds::base::CObject::isOnHeap ( ) const [inherited]

Returns true if the object is allocated on the heap.

bool mds::mod::CStdChannel::listen ( unsigned uTimeout = CH_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT ) [virtual]

Listens for and accepts an incoming connection.

If the channel is connection oriented, this function must be called on the server side before any communication!
Returns false on failure or timeout elapsed.

Implements mds::mod::CChannel.

void mds::base::CLockableObject< CChannel >::lock ( ) [inherited]

Locks the object.

mds::mod::CChannel::MDS_SHAREDPTR ( CChannel ) [inherited]

Smart pointer type.

mds::mod::CStdChannel::MDS_SHAREDPTR ( CStdChannel )

Smart pointer type.

static void* mds::base::CObject::operator new ( std::size_t Size ) [static, inherited]

Allocates a new object on the heap.

int mds::mod::CStdChannel::read	(	char *	pcData,
		int	iLength
	)		`[virtual]`

Reads bytes from the input channel.

In case of error or reading after end of input the number of successfully readed bytes is returned.

Implements mds::mod::CChannel.

void mds::mod::CChannel::separate	(	const std::string &	sDescs,
		std::vector< std::string > &	Descs
	)		`[static, inherited]`

Parses a given string and separates descriptions of several channels.

Channels are separated by two successive colons "::" in the string.
Example: "chmedium1[:chattribs1][::chmedium2[:chattribs2][::...]]".

bool mds::mod::CChannel::skip ( int iLength ) [virtual, inherited]

Skips a given number of bytes.

If the channel is open for readinpg, the data are discarded. Otherwise, zeros are written to the output channel.
This method cannot be used if the channel is opened for reading and writting simultaneously!

Reimplemented in mds::mod::CSharedMemChannel, and mds::mod::CMemoryChannel.

void mds::base::CLockableObject< CChannel >::unlock ( ) [inherited]

Locks the object.

bool mds::mod::CStdChannel::wait ( unsigned uTimeout = CH_WAIT_TIMEOUT ) [virtual]
