Member Function Documentation

IOSize IOOutput::write

(

unsigned char

byte

)

Write a single byte to the output stream. This method is simply redirected to write(const void *, IOSize).

Note that derived classes should not normally call this method, as it simply routes the call back to derived class through the other virtual functions. Use this method only at the "outside edge" when transferring calls from one object to another, not in up/down calls in the inheritance tree.

Returns

The number of bytes written. Normally this will be one, but can be zero if the stream is in non-blocking mode and cannot accept output at this time.

Exceptions

In	case of error, an exception is thrown. However if the stream is in non-blocking mode and cannot accept output, it will not throw an exception – zero will be returned.

{ return write (&byte, 1); }

IOSize IOOutput::write

(

IOBuffer

from

)

Write to the output stream the buffer from. This method is simply redirected to write(const void *, IOSize).

Note that derived classes should not normally call this method, as it simply routes the call back to derived class through the other virtual functions. Use this method only at the "outside edge" when transferring calls from one object to another, not in up/down calls in the inheritance tree.

Returns

The number of bytes actually written. This is less or equal to the size of the buffer. The value can be less than requested if the stream is unable to accept all the output for platform or implementation reasons.

Exceptions

In	case of error, an exception is thrown. However if the stream is in non-blocking mode and cannot accept output, it will not throw an exception – the return value will be less than requested.

{ return write (from.data (), from.size ()); }

IOSize IOOutput::write ( const void *  from, IOSize  n  )

pure virtual

Write n bytes of data starting at address from.

Returns

The number of bytes written. Normally this will be n, but can be less, even zero, for example if the stream is non-blocking mode and cannot accept input at this time.

Exceptions

In	case of error, an exception is thrown. However if the stream is in non-blocking mode and cannot accept output, it will not throw an exception – the return value will be less than requested.

Implemented in XrdFile, File, RFIOFile, DCacheFile, LStoreFile, StorageAccountProxy, LocalCacheFile, and IOChannel.

IOSize IOOutput::writev ( const IOBuffer *  from, IOSize  buffers  )

virtual

Write to the output stream from multiple buffers. There are buffers to fill in an array starting at from. The buffers are filled in the order given, each buffer fully before the subsequent buffers. The method uses write(const void *, IOSize), but may be implemented more efficiently in derived classes.

Note that derived classes should not normally call this method, as it simply routes the call back to derived class through the other virtual functions. Use this method only at the "outside edge" when transferring calls from one object to another, not in up/down calls in the inheritance tree.

Returns

The number of bytes actually written. This is less or equal to the size of the buffers. The value can be less than requested if the stream is unable to accept all the output for platform or implementation reasons. Note that the return value indicates the number of bytes written, not the number of buffers; it is the sum total of bytes written from all the buffers.

Exceptions

In	case of error, an exception is thrown. However if the stream is in non-blocking mode and cannot accept output, it will not throw an exception – the return value will be less than requested.

Reimplemented in File, StorageAccountProxy, LocalCacheFile, and IOChannel.

IOSize IOOutput::xwrite	(	const void *	from,
		IOSize	n
	)

Like the corresponding write() method but writes until the requested number of bytes are written. Writes data from the buffer from for its full size.

Unlike write() which may write less data than requested, this function attempts to write, possibly in multiple write() calls, the exact requested amount of data. It stops writing only in case of error.

If you know the stream blocks on write() and it would be inconvenient to handle partial write(), use this method as a convenience for hiding platforms and circumstance differences. It makes no sense to use this method with non-blocking output.

Note that derived classes should not normally call this method, as it simply routes the call back to derived class through the other virtual functions. Use this method only at the "outside edge" when transferring calls from one object to another, not in up/down calls in the inheritance tree.

Returns

The number of bytes actually written from the buffer, i.e. the size of the buffer.

Exceptions

All	exceptions from write() are passed through unhandled. Therefore it is possible that an exception is thrown when this function has already written some data.
