Detailed Description

Abstraction over a real file. This is meant to be the entry point into the Cached Virtual Filesystem.

This is a cached filesystem implementation based loosely on the implementation of JAWS_File. The interfaces will be nearly the same. The under-the-hood implementation should hopefully be a much faster thing. These will be given their own implementations later. For now, we borrow the implementation provided by JAWS. On creation, the cache is checked, and reference count is incremented. On destruction, reference count is decremented. If the reference count is 0, the file is removed from the cache. E.g. 1, { ACE_Filecache_Handle foo("foo.html"); this->peer ().send (foo.address (), foo.size ()); } E.g. 2, { ACE_Filecache_Handle foo("foo.html"); io->transmitfile (foo.handle (), this->peer ().handle ()); } E.g. 3, { ACE_Filecache_Handle foo("foo.html", content_length); this->peer ().recv (foo.address (), content_length); } TODO:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Filecache_Handle::ACE_Filecache_Handle (  const ACE_TCHAR *    filename, ACE_Filecache_Flag    mapit = ACE_MAPIT )

Query cache for file, and acquire it. Assumes the file is being opened for reading.

ACE_Filecache_Handle::ACE_Filecache_Handle (  const ACE_TCHAR *    filename, int    size, ACE_Filecache_Flag    mapit = ACE_MAPIT )

Create new entry, and acquire it. Presence of SIZE assumes the file is being opened for writing. If SIZE is zero, assumes the file is to be removed from the cache.

ACE_Filecache_Handle::~ACE_Filecache_Handle (  void    )

Closes any open handles, release acquired file.

ACE_Filecache_Handle::ACE_Filecache_Handle (  void    )  [protected]

Default do nothing constructor. Prevent it from being called.

---

Member Function Documentation

void * ACE_Filecache_Handle::address (  void    )  const

Base address of memory mapped file.

int ACE_Filecache_Handle::error (  void    )  const

Any associated error in handle creation and acquisition.

ACE_HANDLE ACE_Filecache_Handle::handle (  void    )  const

A handle (e.g., UNIX file descriptor, or NT file handle).

void ACE_Filecache_Handle::init (  void    )  [protected]

Common initializations for constructors.

off_t ACE_Filecache_Handle::size (  void    )  const

The size of the file.
