ost::TCPStream::TCPStream(Familyfamily=IPV4,boolthrowflag=true,timeout_tto=0)
The constructor required for building other classes or to start an unconnected TCPStream for connect.
ost::TCPStream::TCPStream(TCPSocket&server,boolthrowflag=true,timeout_ttimeout=0)
Create a TCP stream by accepting a connection from a bound TCP socket acting as a server. This performs
an 'accept' call.

ost::TCPStream::TCPStream(constTCPStream&source)
A copy constructor creates a new stream buffer.

virtualost::TCPStream::~TCPStream()[virtual]
Flush and empty all buffers, and then remove the allocated buffers.
Detailed Description
TCP streams are used to represent TCP client connections to a server by TCP protocol servers for
accepting client connections.
The TCP stream is a C++ 'stream' class, and can accept streaming of data to and from other C++ objects
using the << and >> operators.
TCPStream itself can be formed either by connecting to a bound network address of a TCP server, or can be
created when 'accepting' a network connection from a TCP server.

Member Function Documentation
voidost::TCPStream::allocate(size_tsize)[protected]
Used to allocate the buffer space needed for iostream operations. This function is called by the
constructor.
Parameterssize of stream buffers from constructor.
voidost::TCPStream::connect(constchar*name,unsignedmss=536)[protected]
Connect a TCP stream to a named destination host and port number, using getaddrinfo interface if
available.
Parametersname of host and service to connect
mss maximum segment size of stream buffer
voidost::TCPStream::connect(constIPV4Host&host,tpport_tport,unsignedmss=536)[protected]
Create a TCP stream by connecting to a TCP socket (on a remote machine).
Parametershost address of remote TCP server.
port number to connect.
mss maximum segment size of streaming buffers.

voidost::TCPStream::connect(constIPV6Host&host,tpport_tport,unsignedmss=536)[protected]voidost::TCPStream::connect(TCPSocket&server)
Accept a connection from a TCP Server.
Parametersserver socket listening
voidost::TCPStream::connect(TCPV6Socket&server)voidost::TCPStream::disconnect(void)
Disconnect the current session and prepare for a new one.
Examplestcp.cpp, and tcpstr1.cpp.
voidost::TCPStream::endStream(void)[protected]
Used to terminate the buffer space and cleanup the socket connection. This fucntion is called by the
destructor.
size_tost::TCPStream::getBufferSize(void)const[inline]
Return the size of the current stream buffering used.
Returns
size of stream buffers.
intost::TCPStream::getSegmentSize(void)
Get protocol segment size.
Examplestcp.cpp.
boolost::TCPStream::isPending(Pendingpend,timeout_ttimeout=TIMEOUT_INF)[virtual]
Get the status of pending stream data. This can be used to examine if input or output is waiting, or if
an error or disconnect has occured on the stream. If a read buffer contains data then input is ready and
if write buffer contains data it is first flushed and then checked.
Reimplemented from ost::Socket.
Examplestcp.cpp.
intost::TCPStream::overflow(intch)[protected]
This streambuf method is used to write the output buffer through the established tcp connection.
Parametersch char to push through.
Returns
char pushed through.
ssize_tost::TCPStream::peek(void*buf,size_tlen)[inline]
Examine contents of next waiting packet.
Parametersbuf pointer to packet buffer for contents.
len of packet buffer.
Returns
number of bytes examined.
References _IOLEN64.
size_tost::TCPStream::printf(constchar*format,...)
Print content into a socket.
Returns
count of bytes sent.
Parametersformat string
voidost::TCPStream::setTimeout(timeout_ttimer)[inline]
Set the I/O operation timeout for socket I/O operations.
Parameterstimer to change timeout.
intost::TCPStream::sync(void)
Flushes the stream input and output buffers, writes pending output.
Returns
0 on success.
std::iostream*ost::TCPStream::tcp(void)[inline],[protected]
Used in derived classes to refer to the current object via it's iostream. For example, to send a set of
characters in a derived method, one might use *tcp() << 'test'.
Returns
stream pointer of this object.
intost::TCPStream::uflow()[protected]
This streambuf method is used for doing unbuffered reads through the establish tcp socket connection when
in interactive mode. Also this method will handle proper use of buffers if not in interative mode.
Returns
char from tcp socket connection, EOF if not connected.
intost::TCPStream::underflow()[protected]
This streambuf method is used to load the input buffer through the established tcp socket connection.
Returns
char from get buffer, EOF if not connected.
