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 &command, pmodemode = pstdin) [inline]

Parameters:

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

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.

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.
