ost::TTYStream::TTYStream()[protected]
This constructor is used to derive 'ttystream', a more C++ style version of the TTYStream class.

Create and open a tty serial port.

End the tty stream and cleanup.
Detailed Description
TTY streams are used to represent serial connections that are fully 'streamable' objects using C++ stream
classes and friends.
The first application relevant serial I/O class is the TTYStream class. TTYStream offers a linearly
buffered 'streaming' I/O session with the serial device. Furthermore, traditional C++ 'stream' operators
(<< and >>) may be used with the serial device. A more 'true' to ANSI C++ library format 'ttystream' is
also available, and this supports an 'open' method in which one can pass initial serial device parameters
immediately following the device name in a single string, as in '/dev/tty3a:9600,7,e,1', as an example.
The TTYSession aggragates a TTYStream and a Common C++ Thread which is assumed to be the execution
context that will be used to perform actual I/O operations. This class is very anagolous to TCPSession.

Member Function Documentation
voidost::TTYStream::allocate(void)[protected]
Used to allocate the buffer space needed for iostream operations. This is based on MAX_INPUT.
voidost::TTYStream::endStream(void)[protected]
Used to terminate the buffer space and clean up the tty connection. This function is called by the
destructor.
voidost::TTYStream::interactive(boolflag)
Set tty mode to buffered or 'interactive'. When interactive, all streamed I/O is directly sent to the
serial port immediately.
Parametersflag bool set to true to make interactive.
boolost::TTYStream::isPending(Pendingpend,timeout_ttimeout=TIMEOUT_INF)[virtual]
Get the status of pending operations. This can be used to examine if input or output is waiting, or if an
error has occured on the serial device. If read buffer contains data then input is ready and if write
buffer contains data it is first flushed then checked.
Returns
true if ready, false if timeout.
Parameterspend ready check to perform.
timeout in milliseconds.
Reimplemented from ost::Serial.
intost::TTYStream::overflow(intch)[protected]
This streambuf method is used to write the output buffer through the established tty port.
Parametersch char to push through.
Returns
char pushed through.
voidost::TTYStream::setTimeout(timeout_tto)[inline]
Set the timeout control.
Parametersto timeout to use.
intost::TTYStream::sync(void)
Flushes the stream input and out buffers, writes pending output.
Returns
0 on success.
intost::TTYStream::uflow(void)[protected]
This streambuf method is used for doing unbuffered reads through the establish tty serial port when in
interactive mode. Also this method will handle proper use of buffers if not in interative mode.
Returns
char from tty serial port, EOF also possible.
intost::TTYStream::underflow(void)[protected]
This streambuf method is used to load the input buffer through the established tty serial port.
Returns
char from get buffer, EOF also possible.
