Prerequisite

• ByteIO class
• Tape descriptors

Synopsis

This class is a specialization of class ByteIO. It uses a file descriptor to read/write data to a Internet (AF_INET) stream.

Example

Motivation

This class was needed for the online version of the VLA filler.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::StreamIO::StreamIO	(	const String &	hostname,
		uShort	portNumber
	)

Construct a stream that is attached to the specified host on the specified portnumber.

Name lookup is not currently done so that the dotted quad notation must be used.

virtual casacore::StreamIO::~StreamIO ( )

virtual

The destructor closes the file.

casacore::StreamIO::StreamIO ( const StreamIO &  other )

private

The following functions are made private so that the compiler does not generate default ones.

They cannot be used and are not defined.

Member Function Documentation

virtual Int64 casacore::StreamIO::doSeek ( Int64  offset, ByteIO::SeekOption    )

protectedvirtual

Reset the position pointer to the given value.

It returns the new position. As stream devices are not seekable calling this function will always throw an AipsError exception.

Implements casacore::ByteIO.

virtual Bool casacore::StreamIO::isReadable ( ) const

virtual

Is the stream readable? This function always returns True.

Implements casacore::ByteIO.

virtual Bool casacore::StreamIO::isSeekable ( ) const

virtual

Is the stream seekable? This function always returns False.

Implements casacore::ByteIO.

virtual Bool casacore::StreamIO::isWritable ( ) const

virtual

Is the stream writable? This function always returns True.

Implements casacore::ByteIO.

virtual Int64 casacore::StreamIO::length ( )

virtual

Get the length of the stream.

Not a meaningful function for this class and this function always returns -1.

Implements casacore::ByteIO.

StreamIO& casacore::StreamIO::operator= ( const StreamIO &  other )

private

virtual Int64 casacore::StreamIO::read ( Int64  size, void *  buf, Bool  throwException = True  )

virtual

Read size bytes from the tape.

Returns the number of bytes actually read or a negative number if an error occured. Will throw an exception (AipsError) if the requested number of bytes could not be read, or an error occured, unless throwException is set to False.

Implements casacore::ByteIO.

virtual void casacore::StreamIO::write ( Int64  size, const void *  buf  )

virtual

Write the specified number of bytes.

Implements casacore::ByteIO.
