Detailed Description

Receiver side for the record oriented C++ wrapper for UNIX FIFOs.

This method works slightly differently on platforms with the ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES configuration setting than those without. With ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES, the getmsg() system function is used and it preserves message boundaries internally. Without ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES, the message boundaries are emulated by this class and ACE_FIFO_Send_Msg cooperating. The sending class first writes an integer number of bytes in the message, then the message. ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg reads the count, then the data. The operational differences occur primarily when a message is larger than what a caller of this class requests. See recv() for details.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg::ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg (  void    )

Default constructor.

ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg::ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg (  const ACE_TCHAR *    rendezvous, int    flags = O_CREAT|O_RDONLY, int    perms = ACE_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMS, int    persistent = 1, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES    sa = 0 )

Open up a record-oriented named pipe for reading.

Member Function Documentation

void ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg::dump (  void    )  const

Dump the state of an object. Reimplemented from ACE_FIFO_Recv.

int ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg::open (  const ACE_TCHAR *    rendezvous, int    flags = O_CREAT|O_RDONLY, int    perms = ACE_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMS, int    persistent = 1, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES    sa = 0 )

Open up a record-oriented named pipe for reading. Reimplemented from ACE_FIFO_Recv.

ASYS_INLINE ssize_t ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg::recv (  void *    buf, size_t    len )

Receive a message based on buffer pointer and maximum size. Parameters: buf  Pointer to the memory to receive the data. len  The maximum number of bytes to receive. Return values: -1  Error; consult errno for specific error number. Returns: The number of bytes received in the message. For messages that are larger than the requested maximum size, the behavior is different depending on the ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES configuration setting. With ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES, the return value will be the same as len (this is also possible if the message is exactly the same length as len, and the two cases are indistinguishable). Without ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES, the return value is the total length of the message, including bytes in excess of len. The excess bytes are discarded. Reimplemented from ACE_FIFO_Recv.

ASYS_INLINE ssize_t ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg::recv (  ACE_Str_Buf &    msg )

Receive a message based on attributes in an ACE_Str_Buf. Parameters: msg  Reference to an ACE_Str_Buf whose buf member points to the memory to receive the data and maxlen member contains the maximum number of bytes to receive. On return after successfully reading data, the len member contains the number of bytes received and placed in the buffer pointed to by msg.buf. Return values: -1  Error; consult errno for specific error number. Returns: If the ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES configuration setting is defined, the return value is the number of bytes received in the message and will be the same as buf.len. The return value from the getmsg() system function is discarded. If ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES is not defined, the number of bytes in the message read from the FIFO is returned. If the message is larger than the maximum length requested in msg.maxlen, the return value reflects the entire message length, and the msg.len member reflects how many bytes were actually placed in the caller's buffer. Any part of the message longer than msg.maxlen is discarded.
