Detailed Description

The filedescriptor class is a base class for other classes that utilize file descriptors.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ filedescriptor() [1/2]

filedescriptor::filedescriptor ( )

Creates an instance of the filedescriptor class.

◆ filedescriptor() [2/2]

filedescriptor::filedescriptor ( const filedescriptor f)

Creates an instance of the filedescriptor class that is a copy of "f".

◆ ~filedescriptor()

virtual filedescriptor::~filedescriptor ( )
virtual

Deletes this instance of the filedescriptor class. Calls close() if it hasn't already been called.

Member Function Documentation

◆ allowShortReads()

void filedescriptor::allowShortReads ( )

By default, read() will attempt to read the specified number of bytes from the file descriptor, even if several passes are necessary.

This method causes a read() to attempt only a single pass and return the number of bytes that were read during that pass whether the specified number of bytes were read or not.

Note that reads longer than SSIZE_MAX will only attempt to read SSIZE_MAX bytes.

◆ allowShortWrites()

void filedescriptor::allowShortWrites ( )

By default, write() will attempt to write the specified number of bytes from the file descriptor, in several passes if necessary.

This method causes a write() to attempt only a single pass and return the number of bytes that were written during that pass whether the specified number of bytes were written or not.

Note that writes longer than SSIZE_MAX will only attempt to write SSIZE_MAX bytes.

◆ close()

virtual bool filedescriptor::close ( )
virtual

Closes the file descriptor. Returns true on success and false on failure.

Reimplemented in unixsocketserver, unixsocketclient, modemserver, and modemclient.

◆ closeOnExec()

bool filedescriptor::closeOnExec ( )

If the close-on-exec status is false (the default), then the file descriptor will remain open across an execve() call, otherwise it will be closed.

This method sets the close-on-exec status to true.

◆ createPipe()

static bool filedescriptor::createPipe ( filedescriptor readfd,
filedescriptor writefd 
)
static

Creates a pipe and sets "readfd" to the read side and "writefd" to the write side.

◆ disableIPv4()

bool filedescriptor::disableIPv4 ( )

Disables IPv4 on this file descriptor, only IPv6 will be used. This is only useful for TCP Socket file descriptors. Returns true on success and false on failure.

◆ dontAllowShortReads()

void filedescriptor::dontAllowShortReads ( )

By default, read() will attempt to read the specified number of bytes from the file descriptor, even if several passes are necessary.

This method causes that default behavior to be observed.

◆ dontAllowShortWrites()

void filedescriptor::dontAllowShortWrites ( )

By default, write() will attempt to write the specified number of bytes from the file descriptor, even if several passes are necessary.

This method causes that default behavior to be observed.

◆ dontCloseOnExec()

bool filedescriptor::dontCloseOnExec ( )

If the close-on-exec status is false (the default), then the file descriptor will remain open across an execve() call, otherwise it will be closed.

This method sets the close-on-exec status to false (the default).

◆ dontRetryInterruptedFcntl()

void filedescriptor::dontRetryInterruptedFcntl ( )

Causes fcntl operations not to be automatically retried if interrupted by a signal. If this is set, a fcntl is occurring and a signal interrupts it, the fcntl fails, the system error is set to EINTR and the fcntl must be retried.

◆ dontRetryInterruptedIoctl()

void filedescriptor::dontRetryInterruptedIoctl ( )

Causes ioctl operations not to be automatically retried if interrupted by a signal. If this is set, a ioctl is occurring and a signal interrupts it, the ioctl fails, the system error is set to EINTR and the ioctl must be retried.

◆ dontRetryInterruptedReads()

void filedescriptor::dontRetryInterruptedReads ( )

Causes reads not to automatically retry if interrupted by a signal. This is the default behavior. By default, if a read is occurring and a signal interrupts it, the read fails, the system error is set to EINTR and the read must be retried.

◆ dontRetryInterruptedWaits()

void filedescriptor::dontRetryInterruptedWaits ( )

Causes wait operations not to be automatically retried if interrupted by a signal. If this is set, a wait is occurring and a signal interrupts it, the wait fails, the system error is set to EINTR and the wait must be retried.

◆ dontRetryInterruptedWrites()

void filedescriptor::dontRetryInterruptedWrites ( )

Causes writes not to automatically retry if interrupted by a signal. This is the default behavior. By default, if a write is occurring and a signal interrupts it, the write fails, the system error is set to EINTR and the write must be retried.

◆ dontTranslateByteOrder()

void filedescriptor::dontTranslateByteOrder ( )

Don't translate integers from native byte order to network byte order during writes and vice-versa during reads. This is the default behavior.

◆ dontUseNaglesAlgorithm()

bool filedescriptor::dontUseNaglesAlgorithm ( )

Causes all write()'s to be sent immediately. (disables Nagle's algorithm)

Returns true on success and false on failure.

◆ duplicate() [1/2]

int32_t filedescriptor::duplicate ( ) const

Duplicates the file descriptor and returns the handle of the duplicate descriptor. The old and new descriptors may be used interchangeably, they share locks, position pointers, flags (except the close-on-exec flag), etc.

Returns the lowest-numbered unused descriptor on success or -1 on failure.

◆ duplicate() [2/2]

bool filedescriptor::duplicate ( int32_t  newfd) const

Sets file descriptor handle "newfd" to be a duplicate of this file descriptor. If "newfd" is already open, it will be closed first.

Returns true on success and false on failure.

◆ enableIPv4()

bool filedescriptor::enableIPv4 ( )

Enables IPv4 (in addition to IPv6) on this file descriptor (the default). This is only useful for TCP Socket file descriptors. Returns true on success and false on failure.

◆ fCntl()

virtual int32_t filedescriptor::fCntl ( int32_t  command,
long  arg 
) const
virtual

Use the fcntl() system call to perform various low-level file descriptor operations.

◆ flushWriteBuffer()

bool filedescriptor::flushWriteBuffer ( int32_t  sec,
int32_t  usec 
)

If an application does many small writes, the overhead of all of those system calls can slow the application down substantially. To address that issue, the filedescriptor class can buffer data passed in to any of it's write() methods and only make system calls when the buffer is full or when it's flushed manually. Note that when using buffered writes, no data is actually written to the file descriptor until the buffer is full or until it's flushed manually.

Do not confuse this buffer with the tcp write buffer. The tcp write buffer resides in kernel space, is populated by the write() system call in an analagous manner and is used to minimize network latency, not application latency due to system calls. This buffer is in user space and populated prior to the write() system call.

This method causes the contents of the write buffer to be written to the filedescriptor immediately.

Returns true on success and false on failure.

If the buffer cannot be flushed within "sec" seconds and "usec" microseconds, then the method will fail. Set either "sec" or "usec" to -1 to disable the timeout and allow the method to block until the buffer has been flushed.

◆ getCloseOnExec()

bool filedescriptor::getCloseOnExec ( )

If the close-on-exec status is false (the default), then the file descriptor will remain open across an execve() call, otherwise it will be closed.

This method returns true if the close-on-exec status is set to true and false otherwise.

◆ getFileDescriptor()

int32_t filedescriptor::getFileDescriptor ( ) const

Returns the file descriptor.

◆ getPeerAddress()

char* filedescriptor::getPeerAddress ( ) const

Returns the IP address of the client at the other end of the connection if the filedescriptor is an inet socket or NULL otherwise.

Note that the buffer for the address is allocated internally and must be freed by the calling program.

◆ getRetryInterruptedFcntl()

bool filedescriptor::getRetryInterruptedFcntl ( ) const

Returns true if interrupted calls to fcntl will be retried and false otherwise.

◆ getRetryInterruptedIoctl()

bool filedescriptor::getRetryInterruptedIoctl ( ) const

Returns true if interrupted calls to ioctl will be retried and false otherwise.

◆ getRetryInterruptedReads()

bool filedescriptor::getRetryInterruptedReads ( ) const

◆ getSocketReadBufferSize()

bool filedescriptor::getSocketReadBufferSize ( int32_t *  size)

◆ setFileDescriptor()

void filedescriptor::setFileDescriptor ( int32_t  filedesc)

Sets the file descriptor associated with the class to "filedesc".

◆ setReadBufferSize()

bool filedescriptor::setReadBufferSize ( ssize_t  size) const

If an application does many small reads, the overhead of all of those system calls can slow the application down substantially. To address that issue, the filedescriptor class can create a read buffer and attempt to keep it full. When the first read is attempted, it will attempt to read "size" bytes into the buffer and only return the number of bytes specified in the read. Subsequent reads will just return data from the buffer without doing additional system calls unless the buffer is empty.

Do not confuse this buffer with the tcp read buffer. The tcp read buffer resides in kernel space, is populated by the read() system call in an analagous manner and is used to minimize network latency, not application latency due to system calls. This buffer is in user space and populated in the manner described above.

This method sets the read buffer size to "size" bytes and returns true on success and false on failure.

Sets the size of the kernel's socket write buffer to "size" bytes. This is only useful for socket file descriptors. Returns true on success and false on failure.

◆ setWriteBufferSize()

bool filedescriptor::setWriteBufferSize ( ssize_t  size) const

If an application does many small writes, the overhead of all of those system calls can slow the application down substantially. To address that issue, the filedescriptor class can buffer data passed in to any of it's write() methods and only make system calls when the buffer is full or when it's flushed manually. Note that when using buffered writes, no data is actually written to the file descriptor until the buffer is full or until it's flushed manually.

Do not confuse this buffer with the tcp write buffer. The tcp write buffer resides in kernel space, is populated by the write() system call and is used to minimize network latency, not application latency due to system calls. This buffer is in user space and populated prior to the write() system call.

This method sets the write buffer size to "size" bytes. A size of 0 means not to buffer writes at all.

Returns true on success and false on failure.

Entering -1 for either parameter causes the method to wait indefinitely.

Entering 0 for both parameters causes the method to fall through immediately unless a data is immediately available.

Returns RESULT_ERROR on error, RESULT_TIMEOUT on timeout and otherwise returns the number of file descriptors that are ready to be read from.

This will usually be 1, indicating that the file descriptor represented by the class is ready to be read from.

◆ waitForNonBlockingWrite()

int32_t filedescriptor::waitForNonBlockingWrite ( int32_t  sec,
int32_t  usec
