Detailed Description
TCP streams are used to represent TCP client connections to a server by TCP protocol servers for
accepting client connections.
The TCP stream is a C++ 'stream' class, and can accept streaming of data to and from other C++ objects
using the << and >> operators.
TCPStream itself can be formed either by connecting to a bound network address of a TCP server, or can be
created when 'accepting' a network connection from a TCP server.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
ost::TCPStream::TCPStream (Family family = IPV4, bool throwflag = true, timeout_t to = 0)
The constructor required for building other classes or to start an unconnected TCPStream for connect.
ost::TCPStream::TCPStream (TCPSocket & server, bool throwflag = true, timeout_t timeout = 0)
Create a TCP stream by accepting a connection from a bound TCP socket acting as a server. This performs
an 'accept' call.
Parameters
server socket listening
throwflag flag to throw errors.
timeout for all operations.
ost::TCPStream::TCPStream (TCPV6Socket & server, bool throwflag = true, timeout_t timeout = 0)
ost::TCPStream::TCPStream (const IPV4Host & host, tpport_t port, unsigned mss = 536, bool throwflag = true,
timeout_t timeout = 0)
Create a TCP stream by connecting to a TCP socket (on a remote machine).
Parameters
host address of remote TCP server.
port number to connect.
mss maximum segment size of streaming buffers.
throwflag flag to throw errors.
timeout for all operations.
ost::TCPStream::TCPStream (const IPV6Host & host, tpport_t port, unsigned mss = 536, bool throwflag = true,
timeout_t timeout = 0)
ost::TCPStream::TCPStream (const char * name, Family family = IPV4, unsigned mss = 536, bool throwflag =
false, timeout_t timer = 0)
Construct a named TCP Socket connected to a remote machine.
Parameters
name of remote service.
family of protocol.
mss maximum segment size of streaming buffers.
throwflag flag to throw errors.
timer for timeout for all operations.
ost::TCPStream::TCPStream (const TCPStream & source)
A copy constructor creates a new stream buffer.
Parameters
source reference of stream to copy from.
virtual ost::TCPStream::~TCPStream () [virtual]
Flush and empty all buffers, and then remove the allocated buffers.
Member Function Documentation
void ost::TCPStream::allocate (size_t size) [protected]
Used to allocate the buffer space needed for iostream operations. This function is called by the
constructor.
Parameters
size of stream buffers from constructor.
void ost::TCPStream::connect (const char * name, unsigned mss = 536) [protected]
Connect a TCP stream to a named destination host and port number, using getaddrinfo interface if
available.
Parameters
name of host and service to connect
mss maximum segment size of stream buffer
void ost::TCPStream::connect (const IPV4Host & host, tpport_t port, unsigned mss = 536) [protected]
Create a TCP stream by connecting to a TCP socket (on a remote machine).
Parameters
host address of remote TCP server.
port number to connect.
mss maximum segment size of streaming buffers.
Examples
tcp.cpp.
void ost::TCPStream::connect (const IPV6Host & host, tpport_t port, unsigned mss = 536) [protected]
void ost::TCPStream::connect (TCPSocket & server)
Accept a connection from a TCP Server.
Parameters
server socket listening
void ost::TCPStream::connect (TCPV6Socket & server)
void ost::TCPStream::disconnect (void)
Disconnect the current session and prepare for a new one.
Examples
tcp.cpp, and tcpstr1.cpp.
void ost::TCPStream::endStream (void) [protected]
Used to terminate the buffer space and cleanup the socket connection. This fucntion is called by the
destructor.
size_t ost::TCPStream::getBufferSize (void) const [inline]
Return the size of the current stream buffering used.
Returns
size of stream buffers.
int ost::TCPStream::getSegmentSize (void)
Get protocol segment size.
Examples
tcp.cpp.
bool ost::TCPStream::isPending (Pending pend, timeout_t timeout = TIMEOUT_INF) [virtual]
Get the status of pending stream data. This can be used to examine if input or output is waiting, or if
an error or disconnect has occured on the stream. If a read buffer contains data then input is ready and
if write buffer contains data it is first flushed and then checked.
Reimplemented from ost::Socket.
Examples
tcp.cpp.
int ost::TCPStream::overflow (int ch) [protected]
This streambuf method is used to write the output buffer through the established tcp connection.
Parameters
ch char to push through.
Returns
char pushed through.
ssize_t ost::TCPStream::peek (void * buf, size_t len) [inline]
Examine contents of next waiting packet.
Parameters
buf pointer to packet buffer for contents.
len of packet buffer.
Returns
number of bytes examined.
References _IOLEN64.
size_t ost::TCPStream::printf (const char * format, ...)
Print content into a socket.
Returns
count of bytes sent.
Parameters
format string
void ost::TCPStream::setTimeout (timeout_t timer) [inline]
Set the I/O operation timeout for socket I/O operations.
Parameters
timer to change timeout.
int ost::TCPStream::sync (void)
Flushes the stream input and output buffers, writes pending output.
Returns
0 on success.
std::iostream* ost::TCPStream::tcp (void) [inline], [protected]
Used in derived classes to refer to the current object via it's iostream. For example, to send a set of
characters in a derived method, one might use *tcp() << 'test'.
Returns
stream pointer of this object.
int ost::TCPStream::uflow () [protected]
This streambuf method is used for doing unbuffered reads through the establish tcp socket connection when
in interactive mode. Also this method will handle proper use of buffers if not in interative mode.
Returns
char from tcp socket connection, EOF if not connected.
int ost::TCPStream::underflow () [protected]
This streambuf method is used to load the input buffer through the established tcp socket connection.
Returns
char from get buffer, EOF if not connected.
