Detailed Description

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>

class redi::basic_opstream< CharT, Traits >" Class template for Output PStreams.

Writing to an open opstream writes to the standard input of the command; the command’s standard output is the same as that of 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_opstream< CharT, Traits >::basic_opstream (const std::string &cmd, pmode mode = pstdin) [inline], [explicit]

Returns

a string containing the command used to initialise the stream.

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

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

Friends And Related Function Documentation

template<typename C , typename T > std::basic_ostream< C, T > & peof(std::basic_ostream< C, T > & s) [related]

Manipulator to close the pipe connected to the process’ stdin. When inserted into an output pstream the manipulator calls basic_pstreambuf<C,T>::peof() to close the output pipe, causing the child process to receive the end-of-file indicator on subsequent reads from its stdin stream.

Parameters

s An output PStream class.

Returns

The stream object the manipulator was invoked on.
