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	(	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().

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)

bool ost::unixstream::operator!

(

)

const

Test to see if stream is open.

Reimplemented from ost::Socket.
