Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   ost::unixstream::unixstream ()
       Construct an unopened 'tcpstream' object.

   ost::unixstream::unixstream (const char * pathname, int buffer = 512)
       Construct and 'open' (connect) the tcp stream to a remote socket.

       Parameters
           pathname pathname to socket file
           buffer size for streaming (optional).

   ost::unixstream::unixstream (UnixSocket & unixsock, int buffer = 512)
       Construct and 'accept' (connect) the tcp stream through a server.

       Parameters
           unixsock socket to accept from.
           buffer size for streaming (optional).

Member Function Documentation

   void ost::unixstream::close (void)
       Close the active tcp stream connection.

   void ost::unixstream::open (const char * pathname, int buffer = 512) [inline]
       Open a tcp stream connection. This will close the currently active connection first.

       Parameters
           pathname pathname to socket file
           buffer size for streaming (optional)

       References ost::UnixStream::connect().

   void ost::unixstream::open (UnixSocket & unixsock, int buffer = 512)
       Open a tcp stream connection by accepting a tcp socket.

       Parameters
           unixsock socket to accept from.
           buffer size for streaming (optional)

   bool ost::unixstream::operator! () const
       Test to see if stream is open.
