Detailed Description

A more natural C++ ’unixstream’ class for use by non-threaded applications.

This class behaves a lot more like fstream and similar classes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::unixstream::unixstream ()
Construct an unopened ’tcpstream’ object.

ost::unixstream::unixstream (const char * pathname, int buffer = 512)
Construct and ’open’ (connect) the tcp stream to a remote socket. Parameters:

pathname pathname to socket file
buffer size for streaming (optional).

ost::unixstream::unixstream (UnixSocket & unixsock, int buffer = 512)
Construct and ’accept’ (connect) the tcp stream through a server. Parameters:

unixsock socket to accept from.
buffer size for streaming (optional).

Member Function Documentation

void ost::unixstream::close (void)
Close the active tcp stream connection.

void ost::unixstream::open (UnixSocket & unixsock, int buffer = 512)
Open a tcp stream connection by accepting a tcp socket. Parameters:

unixsock socket to accept from.
buffer size for streaming (optional)

void ost::unixstream::open (const char * pathname, int buffer = 512) [inline]
Open a tcp stream connection. This will close the currently active connection first.

Parameters:

pathname pathname to socket file
buffer size for streaming (optional)

References ost::UnixStream::connect().

bool ost::unixstream::operator! () const
Test to see if stream is open.

Reimplemented from ost::Socket.
