Detailed Description
- template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>> class
- redi::basic_rpstream< CharT, Traits > template for Restricted PStreams.
- Writing to an rpstream opened with pmode pstdin writes to the standard
input of the command. It is not possible to read directly from an
rpstream object, to use an rpstream as in istream you must call either basic_rpstream::out() or basic_rpstream::err(). This is to prevent accidental reads from the wrong input source. If the rpstream was not
opened with pmode pstderr then the class cannot read the process'
stderr, and basic_rpstream::err() will return an istream that reads from the process' stdout, and vice versa. Reading from an rpstream
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_rpstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_rpstream (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_rpstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_rpstream (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.
- See also:
do_open(const std::string&, const argv_type&, pmode)
