Detailed Description

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
class redi::basic_ipstream< CharT, Traits >

Class template for Input PStreams.

Reading from an ipstream reads the command's standard output and/or standard error (depending on how the ipstream is opened) and the command's standard input is the same as that of the process that created the object, unless altered by the command itself.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
redi::basic_ipstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_ipstream const std::string &  command,
pmode  mode = std::ios_base::in
[inline]
 

Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process.

Initialises the stream buffer by calling open() with the supplied arguments.

Parameters:
command a string containing a shell command.
mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.
See also:
open()

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
redi::basic_ipstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_ipstream const std::string &  file,
const std::vector< std::string > &  argv,
pmode  mode = std::ios_base::in
[inline]
 

Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process.

Initialises the stream buffer by calling open() with the supplied arguments.

Parameters:
file a string containing the pathname of a program to execute.
argv a vector of argument strings passed to the new program.
mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.

open()

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
redi::basic_ipstream< CharT, Traits >::~basic_ipstream  )  [inline]
 

Destructor.

Closes the stream and waits for the child to exit.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
basic_ipstream& redi::basic_ipstream< CharT, Traits >::err  )  [inline]
 

Set streambuf to read from process' stderr.

Returns:
*this

void redi::basic_ipstream< CharT, Traits >::open const std::string &  file,
const std::vector< std::string > &  argv,
pmode  mode = std::ios_base::in
[inline, virtual]
 

Start a process.

Starts a new process by executing file with the arguments in argv and opens pipes to the process as given by mode.

Parameters:
file a string containing the pathname of a program to execute.
argv a vector of argument strings passed to the new program.
mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.

void redi::basic_ipstream< CharT, Traits >::open const std::string &  command,
pmode  mode = std::ios_base::in
[inline, virtual]
 

Start a process.

Starts a new process by passing command to the shell and opens a pipe to the process with the specified mode.

Parameters:
command a string containing a shell command.
mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.
