NAME

       FBB::LocalSocketBase - Base class for Unix Domain socket-constructing classes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/localsocketbase>
       Linking option: -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION

       This class is a base class for the FBB::LocalServerSocket and FBB::LocalClientSocket classes. Since it is
       designed as a base class, its constructor is protected. All its remaining members are protected as well.

NAMESPACE

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

PROTECTED CONSTRUCTOR

       o      LocalSocketBase():
              The  default constructor merely constructs a FBB::LocalSocketBase object. Before the object can be
              used, its open() member must be called first.

       o      LocalSocketBase(string const &name):
              This constructor creates a LocalSocketBase using the file specified in name  as  the  Unix  domain
              socket  interface.  If the socket could not be constructed, an FBB::Exception exception is thrown.
              The copy constructor is not available.

PROTECTED MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       o      open(string const &name):
              This member initiaizes a LocalSocketBase object  following  its  construction  using  the  default
              constructor.  The  file  specified  in  name  is used as the Unix domain socket interface.  If the
              socket could not be constructed, an FBB::Exception exception is thrown.

       o      size_t size() const:
              Accessor returning the size of the object’s sockaddr_un (address)

       o      int socket() const:
              This accessor returns the FBB::LocalSocketBase’s socket value.

       o      sockaddr const *sockaddrPtr() const:
              Accessor returning the pointer to the object’s sockaddr.
