Detailed Description

Class for implementing a serial queue channel in memory. This implements a simple memory based First In First Out queue. Data written to an instance of the class may be read from the same instance at some later time.

The queue will block the read for the Read Timeout if the queue is empty. Similarly a write will be clocked for Write Timeout if the queue is full.

If there is any data to be read then it returns immediately with those bytes, so you must check the GetLastReadCount() to determine the actual number of bytes read and not rely on the count being passed into the read function.

Member Function Documentation

virtual PBoolean PQueueChannel::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 PFalse to determine what caused the failure.

Returns:

PTrue indicates that at least one character was read from the channel. PFalse 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 PChannel.

virtual PBoolean PQueueChannel::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 PFalse to determine what caused the failure.

Returns:

PTrue 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 PChannel.

virtual PBoolean PQueueChannel::Close

(

)

[virtual]

Close the file channel.

Returns:

PTrue if close was OK.

Reimplemented from PChannel.

virtual PBoolean PQueueChannel::Open

(

PINDEX

queueSize

)

[virtual]

Open a queue, allocating the queueSize bytes.

Parameters:

queueSize

Queue size

PINDEX PQueueChannel::GetSize

(

)

const [inline]

Get the queue size.

PINDEX PQueueChannel::GetLength

(

)

const [inline]

Get the current queue length.
