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.

EXAMPLE

       See    the    examples    presented    with     the     localclientsocket(3bobcat)     and
       localserversocket(3bobcat) classes.
