Detailed Description

Abstract base class for UNIX FIFOs.

UNIX FIFOs are also known Named Pipes, which are totally unrelated to Win32 Named Pipes. If you want to use a local IPC mechanism that will be portable to both UNIX and Win32, take a look at the <ACE_SPIPE_*> classes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_FIFO::ACE_FIFO (  void    )  [protected]

Default constructor.

ACE_FIFO::ACE_FIFO (  const ACE_TCHAR *    rendezvous, int    flags, int    perms, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES    sa = 0 )  [protected]

Open up the named pipe on the <rendezvous> in accordance with the flags.

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_FIFO::close (  void    )

Close down the ACE_FIFO without removing the rendezvous point. Reimplemented in ACE_FIFO_Recv.

void ACE_FIFO::dump (  void    )  const

Dump the state of an object. Reimplemented from ACE_IPC_SAP. Reimplemented in ACE_FIFO_Recv, ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg, ACE_FIFO_Send, and ACE_FIFO_Send_Msg.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_FIFO::get_local_addr (  const ACE_TCHAR *&    rendezvous )  const

Return the local address of this endpoint.

int ACE_FIFO::open (  const ACE_TCHAR *    rendezvous, int    flags, int    perms, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES    sa = 0 )

Open up the named pipe on the <rendezvous> in accordance with the flags. Reimplemented in ACE_FIFO_Send, and ACE_FIFO_Send_Msg.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_FIFO::remove (  void    )

Close down the ACE_FIFO and remove the rendezvous point from the file system.

Member Data Documentation

ACE_FIFO::ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks. Reimplemented from ACE_IPC_SAP. Reimplemented in ACE_FIFO_Recv, ACE_FIFO_Recv_Msg, ACE_FIFO_Send, and ACE_FIFO_Send_Msg.

ACE_TCHAR ACE_FIFO::rendezvous_[MAXPATHLEN + 1] [private]
