The central place where to create, destroy, and synchronize streams.
To create a client connection, users of the library have to subclass Hub and implement connectionCreated(), incomingData(), and connectionClosed().
Dashel::Hub::Hub |
( |
const bool |
resolveIncomingNames = true | ) |
|
|
explicit |
Constructor.
- Parameters
-
resolveIncomingNames | if true, try to resolve the peer's hostname of incoming TCP connections |
void Dashel::Hub::closeStream |
( |
Stream * |
stream | ) |
|
Stream* Dashel::Hub::connect |
( |
const std::string & |
target | ) |
|
Listens for incoming connections on a target.
Some targets, such as a serial ports and files may directly generate a new connection; others, such as network interfaces, will only generate news connections when a peer connects. May throw a ConnectionError exception if the target does not exists or is not ready.
- Parameters
-
target | destination to listen connections from (see Section Targets naming) |
- Returns
- the stream we are connected to; if connect was not possible, an exception was throw.
virtual void Dashel::Hub::connectionClosed |
( |
Stream * |
stream, |
|
|
bool |
abnormal |
|
) |
| |
|
inlineprotectedvirtual |
Called when target closes connection.
The only valid method to call on the stream is getTargetName(), input/output operations are forbidden. You must not call closeStream(stream) from within this method for the same stream as the one passed as parameter. Subclass can implement this method. Called with the stream lock held.
- Parameters
-
stream | stream to the target. |
abnormal | whether the connection was closed during step (abnormal == false) or when an operation was performed (abnormal == true) |
virtual void Dashel::Hub::connectionCreated |
( |
Stream * |
stream | ) |
|
|
inlineprotectedvirtual |
Called when any data connection is created.
It is not called when a listening connection (eg tcpin:) is created. If the stream is closed during this method, an exception occurs: the caller is responsible to handle it. The stream is already inserted in the stream list when this function is called. Subclass can implement this method. Called with the stream lock held.
- Parameters
-
stream | stream to the target |
virtual void Dashel::Hub::incomingData |
( |
Stream * |
stream | ) |
|
|
inlineprotectedvirtual |
Called when data is available for reading on the stream.
If the stream is closed during this method, an exception occurs: Hub stops the execution of this method and calls connectionClosed(); objects dynamically allocated must thus be handled with auto_ptr. If step() is used, subclass must implement this method and call read at least once. Called with the stream lock held.
- Parameters
-
stream | stream to the target |
bool Dashel::Hub::step |
( |
const int |
timeout = 0 | ) |
|
Waits for data from the transfers streams or connections from the listening streams.
Read all available data.
- Parameters
-
timeout | if -1, waits until data arrive. If 0, do not wait, just poll for activity. If positive, waits at maximum timeout ms. |
- Returns
- false if stop() was called or the application was requested to terminate, true otherwise.
