NAME
ost::SimpleTCPStream -
Simple TCP Stream, to be used with Common C++ Library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <socket.h>
Inherits ost::Socket.
Public Member Functions
SimpleTCPStream (TCPSocket &server, size_t size=512)
Create a TCP stream by accepting a connection from a bound TCP
socket acting as a server.
SimpleTCPStream (const IPV4Host &host, tpport_t port, size_t size=512)
Create a TCP stream by connecting to a TCP socket (on a remote
machine).
SimpleTCPStream (const SimpleTCPStream &source)
A copy constructor creates a new stream buffer.
virtual ~SimpleTCPStream ()
Flush and empty all buffers, and then remove the allocated buffers.
bool isPending (Pending pend, timeout_t timeout=TIMEOUT_INF)
Get the status of pending stream data.
void flush ()
ssize_t read (char *bytes, size_t length, timeout_t timeout=0)
Read bytes into a buffer.
ssize_t write (const char *bytes, size_t length, timeout_t timeout=0)
Write bytes to buffer.
ssize_t peek (char *bytes, size_t length, timeout_t timeout=0)
Peek at the incoming data.
Protected Member Functions
SimpleTCPStream ()
The constructor required for SimpleTCPStream, a more C++ style
version of the SimpleTCPStream class.
void endStream (void)
Used to terminate the buffer space and cleanup the socket
connection.
void Connect (const IPV4Host &host, tpport_t port, size_t size)
Create a TCP stream by connecting to a TCP socket (on a remote
machine).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
ost::SimpleTCPStream::SimpleTCPStream () [protected]
The constructor required for ’SimpleTCPStream’, a more C++ style
version of the SimpleTCPStream class.
ost::SimpleTCPStream::SimpleTCPStream (TCPSocket & server, size_t size =
512)
Create a TCP stream by accepting a connection from a bound TCP socket
acting as a server. This performs an ’accept’ call.
Parameters:
server bound server tcp socket.
size of streaming input and output buffers.
ost::SimpleTCPStream::SimpleTCPStream (const IPV4Host & host, tpport_t
port, size_t size = 512)
Create a TCP stream by connecting to a TCP socket (on a remote
machine). Parameters:
host address of remote TCP server.
port number to connect.
size of streaming input and output buffers.
ost::SimpleTCPStream::SimpleTCPStream (const SimpleTCPStream & source)
A copy constructor creates a new stream buffer. Parameters:
source A reference to the SimpleTCPStream to copy.
virtual ost::SimpleTCPStream::~SimpleTCPStream () [virtual]
Flush and empty all buffers, and then remove the allocated buffers.
Member Function Documentation
void ost::SimpleTCPStream::Connect (const IPV4Host & host, tpport_t port,
size_t size) [protected]
Create a TCP stream by connecting to a TCP socket (on a remote
machine). Parameters:
host address of remote TCP server.
port number to connect.
size of streaming input and output buffers.
void ost::SimpleTCPStream::endStream (void) [protected]
Used to terminate the buffer space and cleanup the socket connection.
This fucntion is called by the destructor.
void ost::SimpleTCPStream::flush () [inline]
bool ost::SimpleTCPStream::isPending (Pending pend, timeout_t timeout =
TIMEOUT_INF) [virtual]
Get the status of pending stream data. This method can be used to
examine if input or output is waiting, or if an error or disconnect has
occured on the stream. If a read buffer contains data then input is
ready. If write buffer contains data, it is first flushed and then
checked.
Parameters:
pend Flag indicating means to pend.
timeout The length of time to wait.
Reimplemented from ost::Socket.
ssize_t ost::SimpleTCPStream::peek (char * bytes, size_t length, timeout_t
timeout = 0)
Peek at the incoming data. The data is copied into the buffer but is
not removed from the input queue. The function then returns the number
of bytes currently pending to receive.
Parameters:
bytes A pointer to buffer that will contain the bytes read.
length The number of bytes to read (exactly).
timeout Period to time out, in milleseconds.
Returns:
The number of bytes pending on the input queue, 0 on EOF.
ssize_t ost::SimpleTCPStream::read (char * bytes, size_t length, timeout_t
timeout = 0)
Read bytes into a buffer. <long-description>
Parameters:
bytes A pointer to buffer that will contain the bytes read.
length The number of bytes to read (exactly).
timeout Period to time out, in milleseconds.
Returns:
The number of bytes actually read, 0 on EOF.
ssize_t ost::SimpleTCPStream::write (const char * bytes, size_t length,
timeout_t timeout = 0)
Write bytes to buffer. <long-description>
Parameters:
bytes A pointer to a buffer containing the bytes to write.
length The number of bytes to write (exactly).
timeout Period to time out, in milleseconds.
Returns:
The number of bytes actually written.
