Synopsis

This class is a specialization of class ByteIO. It uses a regular file as the data store.

The class is derived from FilebufIO, which contains all functions to access the file. The description of this class explains the use of the filebufSize argument in the constructor.

Example

// Create a file (which should not exist yet).
RegularFileIO regio (RegularFile("file.name"), ByteIO::NewNoReplace);
// Use that as the sink of AipsIO.
AipsIO stream (&regio);
// Write values.
stream << (Int)10;
stream << True;
// Seek to beginning of file and read data in.
stream.setpos (0);
Int vali;
Bool valb;
stream >> vali >> valb;

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::RegularFileIO::RegularFileIO ( const RegularFile regularFile,
ByteIO::OpenOption  = ByteIO::Old,
uInt  filebufSize = 0 
)
explicit

Create an IO stream object for a regular file with the given name.

The ByteIO option determines if the file will be created or opened for input and/or output.
The argument filebufSize defines the length of the internal buffer in the underlying FilebufIO object. A zero length uses an appropriate default.

casacore::RegularFileIO::~RegularFileIO ( )
casacore::RegularFileIO::RegularFileIO ( const RegularFileIO that)
private

Copy constructor, should not be used.

Member Function Documentation

virtual String casacore::RegularFileIO::fileName ( ) const
virtual

Get the file name of the file attached.

Reimplemented from casacore::FilebufIO.

static int casacore::RegularFileIO::openCreate ( const RegularFile file,
ByteIO::OpenOption  ,
Bool  useODirect = False 
)
static

Convenience function to open or create a file.

Optionally it is checked if the file does not exist yet. If useODirect=True and if supported by the OS, the file will be opened with O_DIRECT which bypasses the kernel's file cache for more predictable I/O behaviour. It requires the size and the alignment of the data to be read/written to be a multiple of the the disk's logival block size. It returns the file descriptor.

RegularFileIO& casacore::RegularFileIO::operator= ( const RegularFileIO that)
private

Assignment, should not be used.

virtual void casacore::RegularFileIO::reopenRW ( )
virtual

Reopen the underlying file for read/write access.

Nothing will be done if the stream is writable already. Otherwise it will be reopened and an exception will be thrown if it is not possible to reopen it for read/write access.

Reimplemented from casacore::ByteIO.
