virtual int close | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Close a file.
- Returns:
- 0 on success, negative error code on failure
Implemented in UARTSerial, UnbufferedSerial, File, and Stream.
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.

enabled true to enable input, false to disable.

Reimplemented in UARTSerial.
Definition at line 236 of file FileHandle.h.

- Returns:
- Length of the file
Definition at line 194 of file FileHandle.h.
virtual short poll | ( | short | events ) | const [virtual] |
Check for poll event flags You can use or ignore the input parameter.
You can return all events or check just the events listed in events. Call is nonblocking - returns instantaneous state of events. Whenever an event occurs, the derived class should call the sigio() callback).
- Parameters:
-
events bitmask of poll events we're interested in - POLLIN/POLLOUT etc.
- Returns:
- bitmask of poll events that have occurred.
Reimplemented in UARTSerial, and UnbufferedSerial.
Definition at line 269 of file FileHandle.h.
virtual ssize_t read | ( | void * | buffer, |
size_t | size | ||
) | [pure virtual] |
Read the contents of a file into a buffer.
Devices acting as FileHandles should follow POSIX semantics:
* if no data is available, and nonblocking set, return -EAGAIN * if no data is available, and blocking set, wait until some data is available * If any data is available, call returns immediately
- Parameters:
-
buffer The buffer to read in to size The number of bytes to read
- Returns:
- The number of bytes read, 0 at end of file, negative error on failure
Implemented in UARTSerial, UnbufferedSerial, File, and Stream.
bool readable | ( | ) | const |
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 | ( | ) | [virtual] |
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 = SEEK_SET |
||
) | [pure virtual] |
Move the file position to a given offset from from a given location.
- Parameters:
-
offset The offset from whence to move to whence The 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
Implemented in UARTSerial, UnbufferedSerial, File, and Stream.
virtual int set_blocking | ( | bool | blocking ) | [virtual] |
Set blocking or nonblocking mode of the file operation like read/write.
Definition depends on the subclass implementing FileHandle. The default is blocking.
- Parameters:
-
blocking true for blocking mode, false for nonblocking mode.
- Returns:
- 0 on success
- Negative error code on failure
Reimplemented in UARTSerial.
Definition at line 209 of file FileHandle.h.
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 is susceptible to change. It should be used as a cue to make read/write/poll calls to find the current state.
- Parameters:
-
func Function to call on state change
Reimplemented in UARTSerial.
Definition at line 314 of file FileHandle.h.
off_t size | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Get the size of the file.
- Returns:
- Size of the file in bytes
Reimplemented in UnbufferedSerial, File, and Stream.
Definition at line 21 of file FileHandle.cpp.
virtual int sync | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Flush any buffers associated with the file.
- Returns:
- 0 on success, negative error code on failure
Reimplemented in UARTSerial, File, and Stream.
Definition at line 99 of file FileHandle.h.
virtual off_t tell | ( | ) | [virtual] |
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 ) | [virtual] |
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:
-
length The requested new length for the file
- Returns:
- Zero on success, negative error code on failure
Reimplemented in File.
Definition at line 151 of file FileHandle.h.
bool writable | ( | ) | const |
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 | size | ||
) | [pure virtual] |
Write the contents of a buffer to a file.
Devices acting as FileHandles should follow POSIX semantics:
* if blocking, block until all data is written * if no data can be written, and nonblocking set, return -EAGAIN * if some data can be written, and nonblocking set, write partial
- Parameters:
-
buffer The buffer to write from size The number of bytes to write
- Returns:
- The number of bytes written, negative error on failure
