Detailed Description
- template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>> class
- redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits > Class template for Bidirectional PStreams.
- Writing to a pstream opened with pmode pstdin writes to the standard
input of the command. Reading from a pstream opened with pmode pstdout and/or pstderr reads the command's standard output and/or standard
error. Any of the process' stdin, stdout or stderr that is not
connected to the pstream (as specified by the pmode) will be the same
as the process that created the pstream object, unless altered by the
command itself.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
- template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
- redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_pstream (const std::string & command, pmode mode = pstdout|pstdin) [inline] Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process.
- Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open() with the supplied arguments.
- Parameters:
command a string containing a shell command.
mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe. - See also:
do_open(const std::string&, pmode)
- template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
- redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_pstream (const std::string & file, const argv_type & argv, pmode mode = pstdout|pstdin) [inline] Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process.
- Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open() with the supplied arguments.
- Parameters:
file a string containing the pathname of a program to execute. argv a vector of argument strings passed to the new program. mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.

a string containing the command used to initialise the stream.
- template<typename C, typename T> void redi::pstream_common< C, T >::do_open
- (const std::string & file, const argv_type & argv, pmode mode) [inline,
protected, inherited]
Start a process. - Calls rdbuf()->open( file, argv, mode ) and sets failbit on error.
