List of all members.

Public Methods

 ACE_Pipe (void)
 Default constructor (does nothing...).

 ACE_Pipe (ACE_HANDLE handles[2])
 Open the pipe and initialize the handles.

 ACE_Pipe (ACE_HANDLE read, ACE_HANDLE write)
 Initialize the <ACE_Pipe> from the <read> and <write> handles.

 ~ACE_Pipe (void)
 Default dtor. It doesn't close the handles for you.

int open (ACE_HANDLE handles[2])
 Open the pipe and initialize the handles.

int open (int buffer_size=ACE_DEFAULT_MAX_SOCKET_BUFSIZ)
 Open the pipe, setting the buffer size to the maximum.

int close (void)
 Close down the pipe HANDLEs;.

ACE_HANDLE read_handle (void) const
ACE_HANDLE write_handle (void) const
void dump (void) const
 Dump the state of the object.


Private Attributes

ACE_HANDLE handles_ [2]


Detailed Description

Provides a bidirectional "pipe" abstraction that is portable to Windows NT, SVR4 UNIX, and BSD UNIX.

Uses "name" for lookup in the ACE service repository. Obtains the object and returns it as the appropriate type.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Pipe::ACE_Pipe void   
 

Default constructor (does nothing...).

ACE_Pipe::ACE_Pipe ACE_HANDLE    handles[2]
 

Open the pipe and initialize the handles.

ACE_Pipe::ACE_Pipe ACE_HANDLE    read,
ACE_HANDLE    write
 

Initialize the <ACE_Pipe> from the <read> and <write> handles.

ASYS_INLINE ACE_Pipe::~ACE_Pipe void   
 

Default dtor. It doesn't close the handles for you.


Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Pipe::close void   
 

Close down the pipe HANDLEs;.

void ACE_Pipe::dump void    const
 

Dump the state of the object.

int ACE_Pipe::open int    buffer_size = ACE_DEFAULT_MAX_SOCKET_BUFSIZ
 

Open the pipe, setting the buffer size to the maximum.

int ACE_Pipe::open ACE_HANDLE    handles[2]
 

Open the pipe and initialize the handles.

ASYS_INLINE ACE_HANDLE ACE_Pipe::read_handle void    const
 

This is the "read" side of the pipe. Note, however, that processes can also write to this handle as well since pipes are bi-directional.

ASYS_INLINE ACE_HANDLE ACE_Pipe::write_handle void    const
 

This is the "write" side of the pipe. Note, however, that processes can also read to this handle as well since pipes are bi-directional.
