NAME

redi::basic_rpstream - Class template for Restricted PStreams

SYNOPSIS

#include <pstream.h>

Public Types

typedef pbase_type::pmode pmode
Type used to specify how to connect to the process.
typedef pbase_type::argv_type argv_type
Type used to hold the arguments for a command.
typedef int fd_type
Type used for file descriptors.

Detailed Description

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

class redi::basic_rpstream< CharT, Traits >" Class template for Restricted PStreams.

Writing to an rpstream opened with pmode pstdin writes to the standard input of the command. It is not possible to read directly from an rpstream object, to use an rpstream as in istream you must call either basic_rpstream::out() or basic_rpstream::err() . This is to prevent accidental reads from the wrong input source. If the rpstream was not opened with pmode pstderr then the class cannot read the process’ stderr , and basic_rpstream::err() will return an istream that reads from the process’ stdout , and vice versa. Reading from an rpstream opened with pmode pstdout and/or pstderr reads the command’s standard output and/or standard error. Any of the process’ stdin , stdout or stderr that is not connected to the pstream (as specified by the pmode ) will be the same as the process that created the pstream object, unless altered by the command itself.
