Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PConsoleChannel::PConsoleChannel ( )

Create a new console channel object, leaving it unopen.

PConsoleChannel::PConsoleChannel ( ConsoleType type )

Create a new console channel object, connecting to the I/O stream.

Parameters

type	Type of console for object

Member Function Documentation

virtual PBoolean PConsoleChannel::Close ( )

virtual

Close the channel, shutting down the link to the data source.

Returns: true if the channel successfully closed.

Reimplemented from PChannel.

virtual PString PConsoleChannel::GetName ( ) const

virtual

Get the platform and I/O channel type name of the channel.

For example, it would return the filename in PFile type channels.

Returns: the name of the channel.

Reimplemented from PChannel.

virtual PBoolean PConsoleChannel::Open ( ConsoleType type )

virtual

Open a serial channal.

The channel is opened it on the specified port and with the specified attributes.

Parameters

type	Type of console for object

virtual int PConsoleChannel::ReadChar ( )

virtual

Read a single 8 bit byte from the channel.

If one was not available within the read timeout period, or an I/O error occurred, then the function gives with a -1 return value.

Returns: byte read or -1 if no character could be read.

Reimplemented from PChannel.

virtual bool PConsoleChannel::SetLineBuffered ( bool lineBuffered )

virtual

Set line buffered mode.

For some classes of channel, e.g. PConsoleChannel, data read by this channel is not returned until a whole line is .

Default behaviour does nothing and return true if the channel is open.

virtual bool PConsoleChannel::SetLocalEcho ( bool localEcho )

virtual

Set local echo mode.

For some classes of channel, e.g. PConsoleChannel, data read by this channel is automatically echoed. This disables the function so things like password entry can work.

Default behaviour does nothing and return true if the channel is open.

Reimplemented from PChannel.
