Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename C, typename T> redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::basic_pstreambuf () [inline]

Default constructor.

Creates an uninitialised stream buffer.

template<typename C, typename T> redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::basic_pstreambuf (const std::string & command, pmode mode) [inline]

Constructor that initialises the buffer with command.

Initialises the stream buffer by calling open() with the supplied arguments.

Parameters: command a string containing a shell command.

mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.

See also: open()

template<typename C, typename T> redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::basic_pstreambuf (const std::string & file, const argv_type & argv, pmode mode) [inline]

Constructor that initialises the buffer with file and argv.

Initialises the stream buffer by calling open() with the supplied arguments.

Parameters: file a string containing the name of a program to execute.

argv a vector of argument strings passsed to the new program.

mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.

See also: open()

template<typename C, typename T> redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::~basic_pstreambuf () [inline]

Destructor.

Closes the stream by calling close().

See also: close()

Member Function Documentation

template<typename C, typename T> basic_pstreambuf< C, T > * redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::close ()

Close the stream buffer and wait for the process to exit.

Closes all pipes and calls wait() to wait for the process to finish. If an error occurs the error code will be set to one of the possible errors for waitpid(). See your system's documentation for these errors.

Returns: this on successful close or NULL if there is no process to close or if an error occurs.

template<typename C, typename T> bool redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::empty_buffer () [protected]

Writes buffered characters to the process' stdin pipe.

Returns: true if the buffer was emptied, false otherwise.

template<typename C, typename T> int redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::error () const [inline]

Return the error number for the most recent failed operation.

Returns: The error code of the most recently failed operation, or zero.

template<typename C, typename T> bool redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::exited () [inline]

Report whether the process has exited.

Returns: True if the associated process has exited, false otherwise.

See also: basic_pstreambuf<C,T>::close()

template<typename C, typename T> bool redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::fill_buffer () [protected]

Returns: true if the buffer was filled, false otherwise.

template<typename C, typename T> pid_t redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::fork (pmode mode) [protected]

Initialise pipes and fork process.

Creates pipes as specified by mode and calls fork() to create a new process. If the fork is successful the parent process stores the child's PID and the opened pipes and the child process replaces its standard streams with the opened pipes.

If an error occurs the error code will be set to one of the possile errors for pipe() or fork(). See your system's documentation for these error codes.

Parameters: mode an OR of pmodes specifying which of the child's standard streams to connect to.

Returns: On success the PID of the child is returned in the parent's context and zero is returned in the child's context. On error -1 is returned and the error code is set appropriately.

template<typename C, typename T> bool redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::is_open () const [inline]

Report whether the stream buffer has been initialised.

Returns: true if a previous call to open() succeeded and wait() has not been called and determined that the process has exited, false otherwise.

Warning: This function can not be used to determine whether the command used to initialise the buffer was successfully executed or not. If the shell command failed this function will still return true. You can use exited() to see if it's still open.

template<typename C, typename T> basic_pstreambuf< C, T > * redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::kill (int signal = SIGTERM) [inline]

Send a signal to the process.

Sends the specified signal to the process. A signal can be used to terminate a child process that would not exit otherwise.

If an error occurs the error code will be set to one of the possible errors for kill(). See your system's documentation for these errors.

Parameters: signal A signal to send to the child process.

Returns: this or NULL if kill() fails.

template<typename C, typename T> basic_pstreambuf< C, T > * redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::open (const std::string & file, const argv_type & argv, pmode mode)

Initialise the stream buffer with file and argv.

Starts a new process by executing file with the arguments in argv and opens pipes to the process with the specified mode.

By convention argv[0] should be the file name of the file being executed. Will duplicate the actions of the shell in searching for an executable file if the specified file name does not contain a slash (/) character.

Iff file is successfully executed then is_open() will return true. Note that exited() will return true if file cannot be executed, since the child process will have exited.

Parameters: file a string containing the pathname of a program to execute.

argv a vector of argument strings passed to the new program.

mode a bitwise OR of one or more of out, in and err.

Returns: NULL if a pipe could not be opened or if the program could not be executed, this otherwise.

See also: execvp(3)

template<typename C, typename T> basic_pstreambuf< C, T > * redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::open (const std::string & command, pmode mode)

Initialise the stream buffer with command.

Starts a new process by passing command to the shell and opens pipes to the process with the specified mode.

Will duplicate the actions of the shell in searching for an executable file if the specified file name does not contain a slash (/) character.

There is no way to tell whether the shell command succeeded, this function will always succeed unless resource limits (such as memory usage, or number of processes or open files) are exceeded. This means is_open() will return true even if command cannot be executed.

Parameters: command a string containing a shell command.

mode a bitwise OR of one or more of out, in, err.

Returns: NULL if the shell could not be started or the pipes could not be opened, this otherwise.

template<typename C, typename T> basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::int_type redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::overflow (int_type c) [protected]

Transfer characters to the pipe when character buffer overflows.

Called when the internal character buffer is not present or is full, to transfer the buffer contents to the pipe.

Parameters: c a character to be written to the pipe.

Returns: traits_type::not_eof(c) if c is equal to traits_type::eof(). Otherwise returns c if c can be written to the pipe, or traits_type::eof() if not.

Attempts to make c available as the next character to be read by sgetc().

Parameters: c a character to make available for extraction.

Returns: c if the character can be made available, traits_type::eof() otherwise.

template<typename C, typename T> void redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::peof () [inline]

Close the pipe connected to the process' stdin.

Closes the output pipe, causing the child process to receive the end-of-file indicator on subsequent reads from its stdin stream.

Parameters: s character buffer.

n buffer length.

Returns: the number of characters read.

template<typename C, typename T> bool redi::basic_pstreambuf< C, T >::read_err (bool readerr = true) [inline]
