NAME

       FBB::Ofdstream - Output Stream initialized by a File Descriptor

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/ofdstream>

DESCRIPTION

       FBB::OFdStream  objects  may  be  used  to  insert  information  into  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::ostream

CONSTRUCTORS

       o      OFdStream(int fd, size_t n = 1):
              The constructor initializes the object to write to descriptor fd, using a buffer of
              size n, by default having size 1.

       Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are not available.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       All members of std::ostream are available, as FBB::OFdStream  inherits  from  this  class.
       There are no additional members.

EXAMPLE

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

BUGS

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