Member Function Documentation

virtual int close ( )
virtual

Close a file.

Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Implements FileHandle.

virtual int enable_input ( bool  enabled)
virtual

Enable or disable input.

Control enabling of device for input. This is primarily intended for temporary power-saving; the overall ability of the device to operate for input and/or output may be fixed at creation time, but this call can allow input to be temporarily disabled to permit power saving without losing device state.

Parameters
enabledtrue to enable input, false to disable.
Returns
0 on success
Negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from FileHandle.

virtual int enable_output ( bool  enabled)
virtual

Enable or disable output.

Control enabling of device for output. This is primarily intended for temporary power-saving; the overall ability of the device to operate for input and/or output may be fixed at creation time, but this call can allow output to be temporarily disabled to permit power saving without losing device state.

Parameters
enabledtrue to enable output, false to disable.
Returns
0 on success
Negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from FileHandle.

Definition at line 195 of file FileHandle.h.

virtual int fsync ( )
virtualinherited

Flush any buffers associated with the FileHandle, ensuring it is up to date on disk.

Definition at line 183 of file FileHandle.h.

virtual bool is_blocking ( ) const
virtual

Check current blocking or non-blocking mode for file operations.

Reimplemented from FileHandle.

virtual off_t lseek ( off_t  offset,
int  whence

Move the file position to a given offset from a given location.

Parameters
offsetThe offset from whence to move to
whenceSEEK_SET for the start of the file, SEEK_CUR for the current file position, or SEEK_END for the end of the file.
Returns
new file position on success, -1 on failure or unsupported
Deprecated:
Replaced by `off_t FileHandle::seek(off_t offset, int whence = SEEK_SET)'

Definition at line 169 of file FileHandle.h.

virtual short poll ( short  events) const
virtual

Equivalent to POSIX poll().

Derived from FileHandle. Provides a mechanism to multiplex input/output over a set of file handles.

Reimplemented from FileHandle.

virtual ssize_t read ( void *  buffer,
size_t  length 
)
virtual

Read the contents of a file into a buffer.

Follows POSIX semantics:

  • if no data is available, and non-blocking set return -EAGAIN
  • if no data is available, and blocking set, wait until data is available
  • If any data is available, call returns immediately
Parameters
bufferThe buffer to read in to
lengthThe number of bytes to read
Returns
The number of bytes read, 0 at end of file, negative error on failure

Implements FileHandle.

bool readable ( ) const
inherited

Definition depends on the subclass implementing FileHandle.

For example, if the FileHandle is of type Stream, readable() could return true when there is something available to read.

Returns
true when there is something available to read.

Definition at line 292 of file FileHandle.h.

virtual void rewind ( )
virtualinherited

Rewind the file position to the beginning of the file.

Note
This is equivalent to seek(0, SEEK_SET)

Reimplemented in File, and Stream.

Definition at line 130 of file FileHandle.h.

virtual off_t seek ( off_t  offset,
int  whence 
)
virtual

Move the file position to a given offset from from a given location.

Not valid for a device type FileHandle like UARTSerial. In case of UARTSerial, returns ESPIPE

Parameters
offsetThe offset from whence to move to
whenceThe start of where to seek SEEK_SET to start from beginning of file, SEEK_CUR to start from current position in file, SEEK_END to start from end of file
Returns
The new offset of the file, negative error code on failure

Implements FileHandle.

void set_baud ( int  baud)

Set the baud rate.

Parameters
baudThe baud rate
virtual int set_blocking ( bool  blocking)
virtual

Set blocking or non-blocking mode The default is blocking.

Parameters
blockingtrue for blocking mode, false for non-blocking mode.

Reimplemented from FileHandle.

Definition at line 148 of file UARTSerial.h.

void set_data_carrier_detect ( PinName  dcd_pin,
bool  active_high = false 
)

Setup interrupt handler for DCD line.

If DCD line is connected, an IRQ handler will be setup. Does nothing if DCD is NC, i.e., not connected.

Parameters
dcd_pinPin-name for DCD
active_higha boolean set to true if DCD polarity is active low
void set_flow_control ( Flow  type,
PinName  flow1 = NC,
PinName  flow2 = NC 
)

Set the flow control type on the serial port.

Parameters
typethe flow control type (Disabled, RTS, CTS, RTSCTS)
flow1the first flow control pin (RTS for RTS or RTSCTS, CTS for CTS)
flow2the second flow control pin (CTS for RTSCTS)
void set_format ( int  bits = 8,
Parity  parity = UARTSerial::None,
int  stop_bits = 1 
)

Set the transmission format used by the serial port.

Parameters
bitsThe number of bits in a word (5-8; default = 8)
parityThe parity used (None, Odd, Even, Forced1, Forced0; default = None)
stop_bitsThe number of stop bits (1 or 2; default = 1)
virtual void sigio ( Callback< void()>  func)
virtual

Register a callback on state change of the file.

The specified callback will be called on state changes such as when the file can be written to or read from.

The callback may be called in an interrupt context and should not perform expensive operations.

Note! This is not intended as an attach-like asynchronous api, but rather as a building block for constructing such functionality.

The exact timing of when the registered function is called is not guaranteed and susceptible to change. It should be used as a cue to make read/write/poll calls to find the current state.

Parameters
funcFunction to call on state change

Reimplemented from FileHandle.

virtual off_t size ( )
virtualinherited

Get the size of the file.

Returns
Size of the file in bytes

Reimplemented in File, TestFile< FILE_SIZE >, Stream, and SerialWireOutput.

virtual int sync ( )
virtual

Flush any buffers associated with the file.

Returns
0 on success, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented from FileHandle.

virtual off_t tell ( )
virtualinherited

Get the file position of the file.

Note
This is equivalent to seek(0, SEEK_CUR)
Returns
The current offset in the file, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented in File, and Stream.

Definition at line 121 of file FileHandle.h.

virtual int truncate ( off_t  length)
virtualinherited

Truncate or extend a file.

The file's length is set to the specified value. The seek pointer is not changed. If the file is extended, the extended area appears as if it were zero-filled.

Parameters
lengthThe requested new length for the file
Returns
Zero on success, negative error code on failure

Reimplemented in File, and TestFile< FILE_SIZE >.

Definition at line 151 of file FileHandle.h.

bool writable ( ) const
inherited

Definition depends on the subclass implementing FileHandle.

For example, if the FileHandle is of type Stream, writable() could return true when there is ample buffer space available for write() calls.

Returns
true if the FileHandle is writable.

Definition at line 281 of file FileHandle.h.

virtual ssize_t write ( const void *  buffer,
size_t  length 
)
virtual

Write the contents of a buffer to a file.

Follows POSIX semantics:

  • if blocking, block until all data is written
  • if no data can be written, and non-blocking set, return -EAGAIN
  • if some data can be written, and non-blocking set, write partial

    Parameters
    bufferThe buffer to write from
    lengthThe number of bytes to write
    Returns
    The number of bytes written, negative error on failure

Implements FileHandle.
