Detailed Description

This class is a basic I/O handler class. Any object which wishes to receive basic I/O events from the socketengine must derive from this class and implement the OnEventHandler*() methods. The derived class must then be added to SocketEngine using the method SocketEngine::AddFd(), after which point the derived class will receive events to its OnEventHandler*() methods. The event mask passed to SocketEngine::AddFd() determines what events the EventHandler gets notified about and with what semantics. SocketEngine::ChangeEventMask() can be called to update the event mask later. The only requirement beyond this for an event handler is that it must have a file descriptor. What this file descriptor is actually attached to is completely up to you.

Member Function Documentation

GetFd()

int EventHandler::GetFd ( ) const

inline

Get the current file descriptor

Returns

The file descriptor of this handler

OnEventHandlerError()

void EventHandler::OnEventHandlerError ( int  errornum )

virtual

Called by the socket engine in case of an error event. The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters

errornum

Error code

Reimplemented in StreamSocket, and ThreadSignalSocket.

OnEventHandlerRead()

virtual void EventHandler::OnEventHandlerRead ( )

pure virtual

Called by the socket engine in case of a read event

Implemented in StreamSocket, ListenSocket, and ThreadSignalSocket.

OnEventHandlerWrite()

void EventHandler::OnEventHandlerWrite ( )

virtual

Called by the socket engine in case of a write event. The default implementation does nothing.

Reimplemented in BufferedSocket, StreamSocket, and ThreadSignalSocket.

SetFd()

void EventHandler::SetFd

(

int

FD

)

Set a new file desciptor

Parameters

FD	The new file descriptor. Do not call this method without first deleting the object from the SocketEngine if you have added it to a SocketEngine instance.

SwapInternals()

void EventHandler::SwapInternals ( EventHandler &  other )

protected

Swaps the internals of this EventHandler with another one.

Parameters

other

A EventHandler to swap internals with.

Member Data Documentation

fd

int EventHandler::fd

protected

File descriptor. All events which can be handled must have a file descriptor. This allows you to add events for sockets, fifo's, pipes, and various other forms of IPC. Do not change this while the object is registered with the SocketEngine
