Detailed Description

This class is not intended to be instantiated directly, please see StreamPipe.

Note

stream classes are not designed to be accessed from multiple threads; they have been implemented without locking for fast and efficient use when used from a single thread. For methods that would be unsafe to use in another thread, any use of such methods in threads other than the thread where the constructor was called will cause a STREAM-THREAD-ERROR to be thrown, unless the stream is handed off to another thread using the StreamBase::unassignThread() method in the thread that currently owns the stream, and the StreamBase::reassignThread() method in the new thread.

Member Function Documentation

peek()

int Qore::PipeInputStream::peek ( )

virtual

Returns

the next byte available from the input stream or -1 if no more data is available

Implements Qore::InputStream.

read()

*binary Qore::PipeInputStream::read ( int  limit )

virtual

Reads bytes (up to a specified limit) from the input stream; returns NOTHING if there are no more bytes in the stream.

Exceptions

INPUT-STREAM-ERROR

limit is not positive

Implements Qore::InputStream.

reportError()

nothing Qore::PipeInputStream::reportError

(

hash

ex

)

Causes all operations on both pipe streams to wake up and throw an exception.

Normally used from the background thread to report an error to the main thread.

Parameters
