Detailed Description

Class for implementing a "delay line" channel.

This indirect channel can be placed in a channel I/O chain to limit the speed of I/O. This can be useful if blocking is not available and buffers could be overwritten if the I/O occurs at full speed.

There are two modes of operation. In stream more, data can be read/written no faster than a fixed time for a fixed number of bytes. So, for example, you can say than 320 bytes must take 20 milliseconds, and thus if the application writes 640 byets it will delay 40 milliseconds before the next write.

In frame mode, the rate limiting applies to individual read or write operations. So you can say that each read takes 30 milliseconds even if on 4 bytes is read, and the same time if 24 bytes are read.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PDelayChannel::PDelayChannel	(	Mode	mode,
		unsigned	frameDelay,
		PINDEX	frameSize = `0`,
		unsigned	maximumSlip = `250`,
		unsigned	minimumDelay = `10`
	)

Create a new delay channel with the specified delays.

A value of zero for the numBytes parameter indicates that the delay is in frame mode.

The maximum skip time is the number of milliseconds that the delay may "catch up" by using zero delays. This is caused by the Read() or Write() not being called for a time by external factors.

Parameters

mode	Mode for delay channel
frameDelay	Delay time in milliseconds
frameSize	Bytes to apply to the delay time.
maximumSlip	Maximum slip time in milliseconds
minimumDelay	Minimim delay (usually OS time slice)

PDelayChannel::PDelayChannel	(	PChannel &	channel,
		Mode	mode,
		unsigned	frameDelay,
		PINDEX	frameSize = `0`,
		unsigned	maximumSlip = `250`,
		unsigned	minimumDelay = `10`
	)

Create a new delay channel with the specified delays and channel.

A value of zero for the numBytes parameter indicates that the delay is in frame mode.

The maximum skip time is the number of milliseconds that the delay may "catch up" by using zero delays. This is caused by the Read() or Write() not being called for a time by external factors.

Parameters

channel	channel to use
mode	Mode for delay channel
frameDelay	Delay time in milliseconds
frameSize	Bytes to apply to the delay time.
maximumSlip	Maximum slip time in milliseconds
minimumDelay	Minimim delay (usually OS time slice)

Member Function Documentation

virtual PBoolean PDelayChannel::Read	(	void *	buf,
		PINDEX	len
	)

virtual

Low level read from the file channel.

The read timeout is ignored for file I/O. The GetLastReadCount() function returns the actual number of bytes read.

The GetErrorCode() function should be consulted after Read() returns false to determine what caused the failure.

Returns: true indicates that at least one character was read from the channel. false means no bytes were read due to timeout or some other I/O error.

Parameters

buf	Pointer to a block of memory to receive the read bytes.
len	Maximum number of bytes to read into the buffer.

Reimplemented from PIndirectChannel.

Reimplemented in PVXMLChannel.

virtual void PDelayChannel::Wait	(	PINDEX	count,
		PTimeInterval &	nextTick
	)

protectedvirtual

virtual PBoolean PDelayChannel::Write	(	const void *	buf,
		PINDEX	len
	)

virtual

Low level write to the file channel.

The write timeout is ignored for file I/O. The GetLastWriteCount() function returns the actual number of bytes written.

The GetErrorCode() function should be consulted after Write() returns false to determine what caused the failure.

Returns: true if at least len bytes were written to the channel.

Parameters

buf	Pointer to a block of memory to write.
len	Number of bytes to write.

Reimplemented from PIndirectChannel.

Reimplemented in PVXMLChannel.
