Additional Inherited Members

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.

ost::TCPStream::TCPStream (const \fBTCPStream\fP &source)

A copy constructor creates a new stream buffer.

Parameters:

virtual ost::TCPStream::~TCPStream ()\fC [virtual]\fP

Flush and empty all buffers, and then remove the allocated buffers.

void ost::TCPStream::allocate (size_tsize)\fC [protected]\fP

Used to allocate the buffer space needed for iostream operations. This function is called by the constructor.

Parameters:

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 (intch)\fC [protected]\fP

This streambuf method is used to write the output buffer through the established tcp connection.
