NAME¶
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¶
- o
- 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.
FILES¶
bobcat/ifdstream - defines the class interface
SEE ALSO¶

BUGS¶
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.
