<h1>FBB::Pipe(3bobcat)</h1>
<h2>libbobcat1-dev_2.20.01-x.tar.gz Error handler</h2>
<h2>2005-2011</h2>
<p>
<h2>NAME</h2>FBB::Pipe - Defines a system level pipe
<p>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<strong>#include <bobcat/pipe></strong><br>
Linking option: <em>-lbobcat</em>
<p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<strong>FBB::Pipe</strong> objects may be used to construct a <em>pipe</em>. <strong>FBB::Pipe</strong>
objects offer a simple interface to the reading and writing ends of
pipes. <strong>FBB::Pipe</strong> objects are object-wrappers around the <strong>pipe</strong>(2) system
call.
<p>
<h2>NAMESPACE</h2>
<strong>FBB</strong><br>
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace <strong>FBB</strong>.
<p>
<h2>INHERITS FROM</h2>
-
<p>
<h2>CONSTRUCTORS</h2>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Pipe()</strong>:<br>
The default <strong>Pipe()</strong> constructor constructs a basic pipe, calling
<strong>pipe</strong>(2).
<p>
This constructor throws an <em>Errno</em> exception if the default <strong>Pipe</strong>
constructor did not properly complete. The thrown <strong>Errno</strong> object's
<em>which()</em> member shows the system's <em>errno</em> value set by the failing
<strong>pipe</strong>(2) function.
<p>
<li> <strong>Pipe(int const *fd)</strong>:<br>
This constructor expects two file descriptors, which already define a
pipe, stored at <em>fd</em>. Following the construction of the <em>Pipe</em> object
the array at by <em>fd</em> is no longer used by the <em>Pipe</em> object.
</ul>
The copy constructor is available.
<p>
Note that when the pipe goes out of scope, no <strong>close</strong>(2) operation is
performed on the pipe's ends. If the pipe should be closed by the desctructor,
derive a class from <strong>Pipe</strong>(3bobcat), whose destructor performs the required
closing-operation.
<p>
<h2>MEMBER FUNCTIONS</h2>
<ul>
<li> <strong>int readFd() const</strong>:<br>
Returns the pipe's file descriptor that is used for reading
<li> <strong>void readFrom(int filedescriptor)</strong>:<br>
Sets up redirection from the internal <em>read</em> filedescriptor to the
given filedescriptor: information is read from the <strong>FBB::Pipe</strong> object when
reading from the provided filedescriptor.
<li> <strong>void readFrom(int const *filedescriptors, size_t n)</strong>:<br>
Sets up redirection from the internal <em>read</em> filedescriptor to the
given filedescriptors: information is read from the <strong>FBB::Pipe</strong> object when
reading from any of the <strong>n</strong> provided filedescriptors (experimental).
<li> <strong>int readOnly()</strong>:<br>
Closes the writing end of the pipe, returns the reading end's file
descriptor.
<li> <strong>void verify() const</strong>:<br>
Obsoleted, will be removed in a future Bobcat release.
<li> <strong>int writeFd() const</strong>:<br>
Returns the pipe's file descriptor that is used for writing
<li> <strong>void writtenBy(int filedescriptor)</strong>:<br>
Sets up redirection from the internal <em>write</em> filedescriptor to the
given filedescriptor: information is written to the <strong>FBB::Pipe</strong> object when
writing to the provided filedescriptor.
<li> <strong>void writtenBy(int const *filedescriptors, size_t n)</strong>:<br>
Sets up redirection from the internal <em>write</em> filedescriptor to the
given filedescriptors: information is written to the <strong>FBB::Pipe</strong> object
when writing to each of the <strong>n</strong> provided filedescriptors.
<li> <strong>int writeOnly()</strong>:<br>
Closes the reading end of the pipe, returns the writing end's file
descriptor.
</ul>
<p>
<h2>PROTECTED ENUMERATION</h2>
The <strong>RW</strong> protected enumeration has the following elements:
<ul>
<li> <strong>READ</strong>:<br>
The index in <strong>d_fd[]</strong> (see below) of the element holding the pipe's
reading file descriptor;
<li> <strong>WRITE</strong>:<br>
The index in <strong>d_fd[]</strong> (see below) of the element holding the pipe's
writing file descriptor
</ul>
<p>
<h2>PROTECTED DATA</h2>
<ul>
<li> <strong>int d_fd[2]</strong>:<br>
The array holding the pipe's file descriptors. The <strong>READ</strong> element
contains the pipe's reading file descriptor, the <strong>WRITE</strong> element
contains the pipe's writing file descriptor,
</ul>
<p>
<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>
<pre>
#include <bobcat/pipe>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;
int main()
{
Pipe p; // construct a pipe
cout << "Read file descriptor: " << p.getReadFd() << endl;
cout << "Write file descriptor: " << p.getWriteFd() << endl;
int pid = fork();
if (pid == -1)
return 1;
if (!pid) //child
{
p.readFrom(STDIN_FILENO); // read what goes into the pipe
string s;
getline(cin, s);
cout << "CHILD: Got `" << s << "'" << endl;
getline(cin, s);
cout << "CHILD: Got `" << s << "'" << endl;
return 0;
}
p.writtenBy(STDOUT_FILENO); // write to the pipe via cout
cout << "first line" << endl;
cout << "second line" << endl;
waitpid(pid, 0, 0);
return 0;
}
</pre>

<h2>BUGS</h2>
Note that when the pipe goes out of scope, no <strong>close</strong>(2) operation is
performed on the pipe's ends. If the pipe should be closed by the desctructor,
derive a class from <strong>Pipe</strong>(3bobcat), whose destructor performs the required
closing-operation.
