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.

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

Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open() with the supplied arguments.

Parameters

cmd 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.

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

Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open(argv[0],argv,mode)

Parameters

argv a vector of argument strings passed to the new program.
mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.

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.

Close the pipe, returning the program's exit status, as pclose(3) does.

Calls rdbuf->close() and sets failbit on error. Returns process's exit status, as pclose(3) does.

Return the command used to initialise the stream.

Returns

a string containing the command used to initialise the stream.

void redi::pstream_common< C, T >::do_open (const std::string & cmd, pmode mode) [inline], [protected], [inherited]

Start a process. Calls rdbuf()->open( command , mode ) and sets failbit on error.

Parameters

cmd a string containing a shell command.
mode the I/O mode to use when opening the pipe.

See also

basic_pstreambuf::open(const std::string&, pmode)

void redi::pstream_common< C, T >::do_open (const std::string & file, const argv_type & argv, pmode mode) [inline], [protected], [inherited]

Start a process. Calls rdbuf()->open( file, argv, mode ) and sets failbit on error.

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.
