Detailed Description

This class is a factory for starting off asynchronous transmit files on a stream.

Once <open> is called, multiple asynchronous <transmit_file>s can started using this class. A ACE_Asynch_Transmit_File::Result will be passed back to the <handler> when the asynchronous transmit file completes through the <ACE_Handler::handle_transmit_file> callback. The transmit_file function transmits file data over a connected network connection. The function uses the operating system's cache manager to retrieve the file data. This function provides high-performance file data transfer over network connections. This function would be of great use in a Web Server, Image Server, etc.

Member Function Documentation

ACE_Asynch_Operation_Impl * ACE_Asynch_Transmit_File::implementation void    const [virtual]
 

Return the underlying implementation class.

Implements ACE_Asynch_Operation.

int ACE_Asynch_Transmit_File::open ACE_Handler   handler,
ACE_HANDLE    handle = ACE_INVALID_HANDLE,
const void *    completion_key = 0,
ACE_Proactor   proactor = 0
 

Initializes the factory with information which will be used with each asynchronous call. If (<handle> == ACE_INVALID_HANDLE), <ACE_Handler::handle> will be called on the <handler> to get the correct handle.

Reimplemented from ACE_Asynch_Operation.

int ACE_Asynch_Transmit_File::transmit_file ACE_HANDLE    file,
Header_And_Trailer   header_and_trailer = 0,
size_t    bytes_to_write = 0,
u_long    offset = 0,
u_long    offset_high = 0,
size_t    bytes_per_send = 0,
u_long    flags = 0,
const void *    act = 0,
int    priority = 0,
int    signal_number = ACE_SIGRTMIN
 

This starts off an asynchronous transmit file. The <file> is a handle to an open file. <header_and_trailer> is a pointer to a data structure that contains pointers to data to send before and after the file data is sent. Set this parameter to 0 if you only want to transmit the file data. Upto <bytes_to_write> will be written to the <socket>. If you want to send the entire file, let <bytes_to_write> = 0. <bytes_per_send> is the size of each block of data sent per send operation. Please read the Win32 documentation on what the flags should be. Priority of the operation is specified by <priority>. On POSIX4-Unix, this is supported. Works like <nice> in Unix. Negative values are not allowed. 0 means priority of the operation same as the process priority. 1 means priority of the operation is one less than process. And so forth. On Win32, this is a no-op. <signal_number> is the POSIX4 real-time signal number to be used for the operation. <signal_number> ranges from ACE_SIGRTMIN to ACE_SIGRTMAX. This argument is a no-op on non-POSIX4 systems.
