Member Function Documentation

int close (  ) [protected, virtual]

Close the file.

Returns:
Zero on success, -1 on error.

Implements FileHandle.

Definition at line 63 of file Stream.cpp.

int fsync (  ) [protected, virtual]

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

Returns:
0 on success or un-needed, -1 on error

Implements FileHandle.

Definition at line 105 of file Stream.cpp.

int isatty (  ) [protected, virtual]

Check if the handle is for a interactive terminal device.

If so, line buffered behaviour is used by default

Returns:
1 if it is a terminal, 0 otherwise

Implements FileHandle.

Definition at line 101 of file Stream.cpp.

virtual void lock ( void   ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Acquire exclusive access to this object.

Reimplemented in Serial.

Definition at line 127 of file FileHandle.h.

off_t lseek ( off_t  offset,
int  whence 
) [protected, virtual]

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

Implements FileHandle.

Definition at line 97 of file Stream.cpp.

ssize_t read ( void *  buffer,
size_t  length 
) [protected, virtual]

Function read Reads the contents of the file into a buffer.

Parameters:
bufferthe buffer to read in to
lengththe number of characters to read
Returns:
The number of characters read (zero at end of file) on success, -1 on error.

Implements FileHandle.

Definition at line 82 of file Stream.cpp.

virtual void unlock ( void   ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Release exclusive access to this object.

Reimplemented in Serial.

Definition at line 133 of file FileHandle.h.

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

Write the contents of a buffer to the file.

Parameters:
bufferthe buffer to write from
lengththe number of characters to write
Returns:
The number of characters written (possibly 0) on success, -1 on error.
