Detailed Description

zapette emulate a file that is remotely controlled by slave_zapette

class zapette sends order to slave_zapette throw a a first pipe and receive informations or data in return from a second pipe from slave_zapette


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

libdar::zapette::zapette ( user_interaction dialog,
generic_file input,
generic_file output 
)

zapette constructor

Parameters:
[in]dialogis used to return status information to the user
[in]inputis the pipe (see class tuyau) from which is received the information or data
[in]outputis used to send orders to slave_zapette

Member Function Documentation

U_I libdar::zapette::inherited_read ( char *  a,
U_I  size 
) [protected, virtual]

implementation of read() operation

Parameters:
[in,out]awhere to put the data to read
[in]sizesays how much data to read
Returns:
the exact amount of data read and put into 'a'
Note:
read as much byte as requested, up to end of file stays blocked if not enough data is available and EOF not yet met. May return less data than requested only if EOF as been reached. in other worlds, EOF is reached when returned data is stricly less than the requested data Any problem shall be reported by throwing an exception.

Implements libdar::generic_file.

void libdar::zapette::inherited_sync_write ( ) [inline, protected, virtual]

write down any pending data

Note:
this method is called after read/write mode checking from sync_write() public method;

Implements libdar::generic_file.

Definition at line 83 of file zapette.hpp.

void libdar::zapette::inherited_terminate ( ) [protected, virtual]

destructor-like call, except that it is allowed to throw exceptions

Note:
this method must never be called directly but using terminate() instead, generic_file class manages it to never be called more than once

Implements libdar::generic_file.

void libdar::zapette::inherited_write ( const char *  a,
U_I  size 
) [protected, virtual]

implementation of the write() operation

Parameters:
[in]awhat data to write
[in]sizeamount of data to write
Note:
must either write all data or report an error by throwing an exception

Implements libdar::generic_file.

bool libdar::zapette::skip ( const infinint pos) [virtual]

skip at the absolute position

Parameters:
[in]posthe offset in byte where next read/write operation must start
Returns:
true if operation was successfull and false if the requested position is not valid (after end of file)
Note:
if requested position is not valid the reading/writing cursor must be set to the closest valid position

Implements libdar::generic_file.
