FBB::Ifdstream - Input Stream initialized by a File Descriptor
SYNOPSIS
#include <bobcat/ifdstream>
DESCRIPTION
FBB::IFdStream objects may be used to extract information from a
device whose file descriptor is available.
File descriptors are not defined within the context of C++,
but they can be used on operating systems that support the concept. Realize
that using file descriptors introduces operating system dependencies.
Note that sockets can be used as file descriptors.
NAMESPACE
FBB
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.
INHERITS FROM
std::istream
CONSTRUCTORS
IFdStream(int fd, size_t n = 1):
The constructor initializes the object to read from descriptor fd,
using a buffer of size n, by default having size 1.
The copy constructor is not available.
MEMBER FUNCTIONS
All members of std::istream are available, as FBB::IFdStream
inherits from this class. There are no additional members.
EXAMPLE
See the clientsocket(3bobcat) man-page for an example showing how to
use IFdStream.
The IFdStream object uses a IFdStreamBuf for its
std::streambuf. This buffer is associated with the file descriptor passed
to IFdStream's constructor. When the IFdStream object goes out of
scope the device (file, socket, etc.) to which the file descriptor that was
passed to IFdStream's constructor is not closed.
