FBB::OFdStreambuf(3bobcat)			       File Descriptor Output Stream Buffer				FBB::OFdStreambuf(3bobcat)

NAME
FBB::OFdStreambuf - Output stream buffer initialized by a file descriptor SYNOPSIS
#include <bobcat/ofdstreambuf> Linking option: -lbobcat DESCRIPTION
FBB::OFdStreambuf objects may be used as a std::streambuf of std::ostream objects to allow insertions into a file descriptor. File descriptors are not defined within the context of C++, but they can be used on operating systems that support the concept. Realize that using file descriptors introduces operating system dependencies. NAMESPACE
FBB All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB. INHERITS FROM
std::streambuf ENUMERATION
The public enumeration Mode defined in the class FBB::OFdStreamBuf has the following values: o CLOSE_FD, indicating that the file descriptor used by the object must be closed; o KEEP_FD (the default) indicating that the file descriptor used by the object must not be closed. CONSTRUCTORS
o OFdStreambuf(): This constructor initializes the streambuf, without associating it to a file descriptor, and without using buffering. The member open() can be used to associate the object later on with a file descriptor and optionally a buffer size. When the object is destroyed or if the mode-less overloaded version of the open member is called, the file descriptor will be closed. o OFdStreambuf(Mode mode): This constructor initializes the streambuf, without associating it to a file descriptor, and without using buffering. The member open() can be used to associate the object later on with a file descriptor and optionally a buffer size. When the object is destroyed or if the mode-less overloaded version of the open member is called, the Mode argument determines whether the file descriptor will be closed or will remain open. o OFdStreambuf(int fd, size_t n = 1): This constructor initializes the streambuf, associating it to file descriptor fd, and an optional unget buffer size (by default hav- ing size 1). When open is called subsequently, or if the object is destroyed the provided file descriptor will be closed. o OFdStreambuf(int fd, size_t n = 1): This constructor initializes the streambuf, associating it to file descriptor fd, and an optional unget buffer size (by default hav- ing size 1). When the object is destroyed or if the mode-less overloaded version of the open member is called, the file descriptor will be closed. o OFdStreambuf(int fd, Mode mode, size_t n = 1): This constructor initializes the streambuf, associating it to file descriptor fd, and an optional unget buffer size (by default hav- ing size 1). When the object is destroyed or if the mode-less overloaded version of the open member is called, the Mode argument determines whether the file descriptor will be closed or will remain open. There are no copy or move constructors. MEMBER FUNCTIONS
All members of std::streambuf are available, as FBB::OFdStreambuf inherits from this class. Some of the std::streambuf's member are over- ridden by FBB::OFdStreambuf, see below. o void close(): The file descriptor used by the OFdStreambuf is closed, irrespective of the Mode that was specified when the OFdStreambuf object was constructed. Following close the OFdStreambuf object can no longer be used until one of its open members has been called. o int fd() const: The file descriptor used by the OFdStreambuf object is returned. If the OFdStreambuf is not associated with a file descriptor -1 is returned. o void open(int xfd, size_t n = 1): The streambuf is (re)initialized, using file descriptor fd, and an optional unget buffer size (by default having size 1). When called repeatedly, the Mode specification used whem the object was constructed determines whether the file descriptor will be closed or will remain open. o void open(int xfd, Mode mode, size_t n = 1): The streambuf is (re)initialized, using file descriptor fd, a file descriptor closing parameter and an optional unget buffer size (by default having size 1). Depending on the Mode argument the object's currently used file descriptor will be closed or will remain open when the IFdStreambuf object is destroyed. The overloaded assignment operator is not available. PROTECTED MEMBER FUNCTION
The member listed in this section implements the tasks of the comparably named virtual function in the class's private interface. This sep- arates the redefinable interface from the user-interface. The class OFdStreambuf can, in accordance with Liskov's Substitution Principle, be used as a std:streambuf; but it also offers a facility for classes deriving from OFdStreambuf. This facility is listed here. o int pSync(): The contents of the OFdStreambuf's internal buffer flushed. EXAMPLE
