Detailed Description

The serial port is an internal class which is attached to and then serviced by a specified SerialService thread.

Derived versions of this class offer specific functionality such as serial integration protocols.

The TTYPort and TTYService classes are used to form thread-pool serviced serial I/O protocol sets. These can be used when one has a large number of serial devices to manage, and a single (or limited number of) thread(s) can then be used to service the tty port objects present. Each tty port supports a timer control and several virtual methods that the service thread can call when events occur. This model provides for 'callback' event management, whereby the service thread performs a 'callback' into the port object when events occur. Specific events supported include the expiration of a TTYPort timer, pending input data waiting to be read, and 'sighup' connection breaks.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::SerialPort::SerialPort (SerialService * svc, const char * name) [protected]

Construct a tty serial port for a named serial device.

Parameters:

svc pool thread object.
name of tty port.

virtual ost::SerialPort::~SerialPort () [protected], [virtual]

Disconnect the Serial Port from the service pool thread and shutdown the port.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void ost::SerialPort::disconnect (void) [protected], [virtual]

Called by the service thread when an exception has occured such as a hangup.

virtual void ost::SerialPort::expired (void) [protected], [virtual]

Called by the service thread when the objects timer has expired.

bool ost::SerialPort::getDetectOutput (void) const [inline], [protected]

Get the current state of the DetectOutput flag.

bool ost::SerialPort::getDetectPending (void) const [inline], [protected]

Get the current state of the DetectPending flag.

void ost::SerialPort::incTimer (timeout_t timeout)

Derived incTimer to notify the service thread pool of a change in expected timeout. This allows SerialService to reschedule all timers.

int ost::SerialPort::input (void * buf, int len) [inline], [protected]

Receive 'input' for pending data from the serial port. This is not a public member since it's meant to support internal protocols rather than direct external access to the device.

Returns:

number of bytes received.

Parameters:

buf address of buffer to input.
len of input buffer used.

int ost::SerialPort::output (void * buf, int len) [inline], [protected]

Transmit 'send' data to the serial port. This is not public since it's meant to support internal protocols rather than direct public access to the device.

Returns:

number of bytes send.

Parameters:

buf address of buffer to send.
len of bytes to send.

virtual void ost::SerialPort::output (void) [protected], [virtual]

Perform when output is available for sending data.

virtual void ost::SerialPort::pending (void) [protected], [virtual]

Called by the service thread when input data is pending for this tty port. Effected by setPacketInput and by setLineInput.

void ost::SerialPort::setDetectOutput (bool) [protected]

Used to indicate if output ready monitoring should be performed by the service thread.

void ost::SerialPort::setDetectPending (bool) [protected]

Used to indicate if the service thread should monitor pending data for us.

void ost::SerialPort::setTimer (timeout_t timeout = 0)

Derived setTimer to notify the service thread pool of changes in expected timeout. This allows SerialService to reschedule all timers.

Parameters:

timeout in milliseconds.
