Detailed Description

This class is a factory for starting off asynchronous reads on a file. This class forwards all methods to its implementation class.

Once {open} is called, multiple asynchronous {read}s can started using this class. An ACE_Asynch_Read_File::Result will be passed back to the {handler} when the asynchronous reads completes through the {ACE_Handler::handle_read_file} callback. This class differs slightly from ACE_Asynch_Read_Stream as it allows the user to specify an offset for the read.

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

ACE_Asynch_Operation_Impl * ACE_Asynch_Read_File::implementation ( void   )  const [virtual]

Return the underlying implementation class.

Reimplemented from ACE_Asynch_Read_Stream.

int ACE_Asynch_Read_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_Read_Stream.

int ACE_Asynch_Read_File::read ( ACE_Message_Block message_block,
size_t  bytes_to_read,
unsigned long  offset = 0,
unsigned long  offset_high = 0,
const void *  act = 0,
int  priority = 0,
int  signal_number = ACE_SIGRTMIN 
)

This starts off an asynchronous read. Upto {bytes_to_read} will be read and stored in the {message_block}. The read will start at {offset} from the beginning of the file. 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 argument 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.

int ACE_Asynch_Read_File::readv ( ACE_Message_Block message_block,
size_t  bytes_to_read,
unsigned long  offset = 0,
unsigned long  offset_high = 0,
const void *  act = 0,
int  priority = 0,
int  signal_number = ACE_SIGRTMIN 
)

Same as above but with scatter support, through chaining of composite message blocks using the continuation field.

Note:
In win32 Each data block payload must be at least the size of a system memory page and must be aligned on a system memory page size boundary
