NAME
       FBB::Ifdstream - Input Stream initialized by a File Descriptor


SYNOPSIS
       #include <bobcat/ifdstream>


DESCRIPTION
       FBB::IFdStream  objects  may  be  used  to  extract  information  from  a device whose file descriptor is
       available.

       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.

       Note that sockets can be used as file descriptors.


NAMESPACE
       FBB
       All  constructors,  members,  operators  and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the
       namespace FBB.


INHERITS FROM
       std::istream


CONSTRUCTORS
       o      IFdStream(int fd, size_t n = 1):
              The constructor initializes the object to read from descriptor fd, using a buffer of  size  n,  by
              default having size 1.  The copy constructor is not available.


MEMBER FUNCTIONS
       All  members  of  std::istream  are  available,  as FBB::IFdStream inherits from this class. There are no
       additional members.


EXAMPLE
       See the clientsocket(3bobcat) man-page for an example showing how to use IFdStream.


FILES
       bobcat/ifdstream - defines the class interface


SEE ALSO
       bobcat(7), ifdstreambuf(3bobcat), ofdstream(3bobcat)


BUGS
       The IFdStream object uses a IFdStreamBuf for its std::streambuf. This buffer is associated with the  file
       descriptor  passed  to  IFdStream’s  constructor.  When the IFdStream object goes out of scope the device
       (file, socket, etc.) to which the file descriptor that was  passed  to  IFdStream’s  constructor  is  not
       closed.
