Description

Implementation of the stream buffer for a pipe.

basic_pipebuf public construct/copy/destruct

  1. basic_pipebuf();
    Default constructor, will also construct the pipe.
  2. basic_pipebuf(const basic_pipebuf &) = default;
    Copy Constructor.
  3. basic_pipebuf(basic_pipebuf &&) = default;
    Move Constructor.
  4. basic_pipebuf(pipe_type && p);
    Move construct from a pipe.
  5. basic_pipebuf(const pipe_type & p);
    Construct from a pipe.
  6. basic_pipebuf & operator=(const basic_pipebuf &) = delete;
    Copy assign.
  7. basic_pipebuf & operator=(basic_pipebuf &&) = default;
    Move assign.
  8. basic_pipebuf & operator=(pipe_type && p);
    Move assign a pipe.
  9. basic_pipebuf & operator=(const pipe_type & p);
    Copy assign a pipe.
  10. ~basic_pipebuf();
    Destructor -> writes the frest of the data.

basic_pipebuf public member functions

  1. int_type overflow(int_type ch = traits_type::eof());
    Writes characters to the associated output sequence from the put area.
  2. int sync();
    Synchronizes the buffers with the associated character sequence.
  3. int_type underflow();
    Reads characters from the associated input sequence to the get area.
  4. void pipe(pipe_type && p);
    Set the pipe of the streambuf.
  5. void pipe(const pipe_type & p);
    Set the pipe of the streambuf.
  6. pipe_type & pipe();
    Get a reference to the pipe.
  7. const pipe_type & pipe() const;
    Get a const reference to the pipe.
  8. pipe_type && pipe();
    Get a rvalue reference to the pipe. Qualified as rvalue.
  9. bool is_open() const;
    Check if the pipe is open.
  10. basic_pipebuf< CharT, Traits > * open();
    Open a new pipe.
  11. basic_pipebuf< CharT, Traits > * open(const std::string & name);
    Open a new named pipe.
  12. basic_pipebuf< CharT, Traits > * close();
    Flush the buffer & close the pipe.

basic_pipebuf private member functions

  1. bool _write_impl();
