<h1>FBB::MultiStreambuf(3bobcat)</h1>
<h2>libbobcat-dev_4.01.03-x.tar.gz Writing multiple streams</h2>
<h2>2005-2015</h2>
<p>
<h2>NAME</h2>FBB::MultiStreambuf - Selectively writes multiple streams
<p>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<strong>#include <bobcat/multistreambuf></strong><br>
Linking option: <em>-lbobcat</em>
<p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
The <strong>FBB::MultiStreambuf</strong> class is a specialization of
<em>std::streambuf</em>. It can be used to write selectively to multiple
<em>std::ostreams</em>. Each <em>std::ostream</em> that is associated with a
<strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> is given a mode-tag indicating whether the stream
should always be used when information is inserted into the
<strong>MultiStreambuf</strong>, just once, or not at all. Each of the stream's
mode-tags may be set to any of the defined tag-values.
<p>
When the address of a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> is used to initialize a
<em>std::ostream</em> the constructed <em>std::ostream</em> becomes an
output-multiplexer: by inserting information into the <em>std::ostream</em> object,
all <em>std::ostream</em> objects added to its <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> buffer which
have an active mode receive that information.
<p>
An <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object should be outlived by all active streams
that are associated with it.
<p>
<strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> objects refer to <em>std::ostreams</em> which are passed to it,
and not to their <em>std::streambufs</em>. So it is possible to change these
<em>std::ostream's std::streambufs</em> without reinstalling the <em>std::ostreams</em>
themselves.
<p>
No assumptions should be made about the order in which the <em>std::ostream</em>
objects that are associated with the <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> objects are
visited when information is inserted.
<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>
<em>std::streambuf</em>
<p>
<h2>ENUMERATION</h2>
In the <strong>Mode</strong> enumeration the following values are defined:
<ul>
<li> <strong>OFF</strong>:<br>
A <em>std::ostream</em> having this mode will not be used when information
is inserted into a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong>
<li> <strong>ON</strong>:<br>
A <em>std::ostream</em> having this mode will be used when information
is inserted into a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong>
<li> <strong>ONCE</strong>:<br>
A <em>std::ostream</em> having this mode will be used once, until the next
flushing operation, when information is inserted into an
<strong>MultiStreambuf</strong>
<li> <strong>RESET</strong>:<br>
A <em>std::ostream</em> having this mode will not be used when information
is inserted into a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong>. At a flush operation all <strong>ONCE</strong>
modes will be set to <strong>RESET</strong>
<li> <strong>ALL</strong>:<br>
This mode is used in combination with the member <em>remove</em> to remove
all <em>std::ostream</em> elements matching a specified <em>std::ostream</em> argument.
</ul>
<p>
<h2>TYPES</h2>
The following subtypes are defined in the class <strong>FBB:MultiStreambuf</strong>:
<ul>
<li> <strong>iterator</strong>:<br>
This is a synonym of <em>std::vector<stream>::iterator</em>
<li> <strong>const_iterator</strong>:<br>
This is a synonym of <em>std::vector<stream>::const_iterator</em>
</ul>
<p>
<h2>NESTED CLASS</h2>
The class <strong>MultiStreambuf::stream</strong> is defined as a nested class of
<strong>MultiStreambuf</strong>. It offers the following constructor and public
members:
<ul>
<li> <strong>stream(std::ostream &os, Mode mode = ON)</strong>:<br>
The constructor stores a <em>std::ostream</em> object, and associates a
<strong>Mode</strong> value with it.
<li> <strong>void setMode(Mode mode)</strong>:<br>
This member is used to redefine the <strong>stream</strong>'s <strong>Mode</strong> value.
<li> <strong>void mode() const</strong>:<br>
This member returns the <strong>stream</strong>'s <strong>Mode</strong> value.
<li> <strong>operator std::ostream &()</strong>:<br>
This member returns the <strong>stream</strong>'s <em>std::ostream</em>.
</ul>
<p>
<h2>CONSTRUCTORS</h2>
<ul>
<li> <strong>MultiStreambuf()</strong>:<br>
The default constructor creates a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object which
contains no associated <em>std::ostream</em> objects.
<li> <strong>MultiStreambuf(std::ostream &os, Mode mode = ON)</strong>:<br>
This constructor creates a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object which
is immediately associated with the <em>std::ostream</em> specified as its first
argument.
<li> <strong>MultiStreambuf(std::vector<MultiStreambuf::stream> const &osvector)</strong>:<br>
This constructor creates a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object which is
immediately associated with all <em>std::ostream</em> objects that are stored in
the <strong>MultiStreambuf::stream</strong> elements of the specified vector.
</ul>
The copy constructor is available.
<p>
<h2>MEMBER FUNCTIONS</h2>
All members of <em>std::ostringstream</em> and <em>std::exception</em> are
available, as <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> inherits from these classes.
<ul>
<li> <strong>iterator begin()</strong>:<br>
This member returns an iterator to the first <strong>stream</strong> element that
is stored in a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object.
<li> <strong>const_iterator begin()</strong>:<br>
This member returns an iterator to the first (unmodifiable) <strong>stream</strong>
element that is stored in a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object.
<li> <strong>iterator end()</strong>:<br>
This member returns an iterator pointing beyond the last <strong>stream</strong>
element that is stored in a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object.
<li> <strong>const_iterator end()</strong>:<br>
This member returns an iterator pointing beyond the last
(unmodifiable) <strong>stream</strong> element that is stored in a <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong>
object.
<li> <strong>void insert(std::ostream &os, Mode mode = ON)</strong>:<br>
This member adds the specified <em>std::ostream</em> using the specified
<strong>Mode</strong> to the current set of <strong>stream</strong> objects. Note that if called
multiple times for identical <em>std::ostreams</em> these objects are inserted
multiple times as well.
<li> <strong>void insert(std::vector<stream> const &os)</strong>:<br>
This member adds all <strong>stream</strong> objects stored in the <strong>os</strong> vector to
the current set of <strong>stream</strong> objects.
<li> <strong>bool remove(std::ostream &os, Mode mode = ONCE)</strong>:<br>
If <em>os</em> is stored in the <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> it is removed, and
<em>true</em> is returned. If mode <em>ALL</em> is specified all <em>os</em> objects that
were stored in the <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object are removed (and <em>true</em> is
returned). If the <em>os</em> object was not stored <em>false</em> is returned. To
determine whether <em>os</em> has been stored in the <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object its
address is compared to the addresses of the <em>std::ostream</em> objects that are
stored inside the <strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object: the object(s) having addresses
<em>&os</em> is (are) removed.
<li> <strong>void void setOnce()</strong>:<br>
This member will reset all the <em>RESET</em> <strong>Mode</strong> values of the stored
<strong>stream</strong> objects to <em>ONCE</em>.
<li> <strong>size_t size() const</strong>:<br>
The number of streams currently serviced by the
<strong>MultiStreambuf</strong> object is returned.
</ul>
<p>
<h2>PROTECTED MEMBER FUNCTION</h2>
<p>
The member listed in this section implements the tasks of the comparably
named virtual function in the class's private interface. This separates the
redefinable interface from the user-interface. The class <strong>MultiStreamBuf</strong>
can, in accordance with Liskov's Substitution Principle, be used as a
<em>std:streambuf</em>; but it also offers a facility for classes deriving from
<strong>MultiStreamBuf</strong>. This facility is listed here.
<ul>
<li> <strong>int pSync()</strong>:<br>
The contents of the <strong>MultiStreamBuf</strong>'s internal buffer is written to
each of the <em>std::ostream</em> objects to which the <strong>MultiStreamBuf</strong> object
has access.
</ul>
<p>
<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>
<pre>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <bobcat/multistreambuf>
using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;
int main()
{
MultiStreambuf msb(cout);
ostream os(&msb);
ofstream out("out");
msb.insert(out, MultiStreambuf::ONCE);
os << "This is on cout and out" << endl;
os << "This is on cout only" << endl;
msb.setOnce();
os << "This is on cout and out" << endl;
os << "This is on cout only" << endl;
return 0;
}
</pre>
