Detailed Description

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
class redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits >

Class template for Bidirectional PStreams.

Writing to a pstream opened with pmode pstdin writes to the standard input of the command. Reading from a pstream opened with pmode pstdout and/or pstderr reads the command's standard output and/or standard error. Any of the process' stdin, stdout or stderr that is not connected to the pstream (as specified by the pmode) will be the same as the process that created the pstream object, unless altered by the command itself.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>> redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_pstream (  const std::string &  command, pmode  mode = pstdout|pstdin )  [inline]

Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open() with the supplied arguments. Parameters: command  a string containing a shell command. mode  the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe. See also: do_open(const std::string&, pmode)

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>> redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_pstream (  const std::string &  file, const argv_type &  argv, pmode  mode = pstdout|pstdin )  [inline]

Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open() with the supplied arguments. Parameters: file  a string containing the pathname of a program to execute. argv  a vector of argument strings passed to the new program. mode  the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe. See also: do_open(const std::string&, const argv_type&, pmode)

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>> redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits >::~basic_pstream (   )  [inline]

Destructor. Closes the stream and waits for the child to exit.
