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.

◆ peek()

int Qore::PipeInputStream::peek ( )
virtual

Peeks the next byte available from the input stream; returns -1 if no more data available.

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-ERRORlimit 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
exthe exception, must contain strings 'err' and 'desc'
