Detailed Description

Asynchronous file transfer operations allow data to be transferred to or from user supplied buffers. A callback is invoked on each transfer. Transfer stops when the available buffers are exhausted.

enum Event { DATA = 1, FLUSHING = 2, ERROR_CHECK_ERRNO = 4, END_OF_FILE = 8 }

Event

typedef XorpCallback4<void, Event, const uint8_t*, size_t, size_t>::RefPtr Callback

Callback

Callback type user provides when adding buffers to sub-classes AsyncFileOperator. Callback's are on a per buffer basis and invoked any time some I/O is performed. The offset field refers to the offset of the last byte read, or written, from the start of the buffer.

Callback has arguments: ErrorCode e, uint8_t* buffer, size_t buffer_bytes, size_t offset

size_t  buffers_remaining ()

buffers_remaining

[const pure virtual]

Returns: the number of buffers available.

void  flush_buffers ()

flush_buffers

[pure virtual]

Stop asynchronous operation and clear list of buffers.

bool  start ()

start

[pure virtual]

Start asynchronous operation.

Returns: true on success, false if no buffers are available.

void  stop ()

stop

[pure virtual]

Stop asynchronous operation.

inline bool  resume ()

resume

Resume stopped asynchronous operation.

Returns: true on success, false if no buffers are available.

inline bool  running ()

running

[const]

Returns: true if asynchronous I/O is started.

inline int  fd ()

fd

[const]

Returns: file descriptor undergoing asynchronous operation.
