Detailed Description

A class that asynchronously reads from a file descriptor.

This class can be used to start a system thread that reads from a given file descriptor and invokes a given callback when data is received. This class handles thread management automatically but the DoRead() method must be implemented by a subclass.

DestroyEvent()

void ns3::FdReader::DestroyEvent ( )

private

Event handler scheduled for destroy time to halt the thread.

DoRead()

virtual FdReader::Data ns3::FdReader::DoRead ( )

protectedpure virtual

The read implementation.

The value of m_len returned controls further processing. The callback function is only invoked when m_len is positive; any data read is not processed when m_len is negative; reading stops when m_len is zero.

The management of memory associated with m_buf must be compatible with the read callback.

Returns

A structure representing what was read.

Implemented in ns3::FdNetDeviceFdReader, ns3::NetmapNetDeviceFdReader, and ns3::TapBridgeFdReader.

Start()

void ns3::FdReader::Start	(	int	fd,
		Callback< void, uint8_t *, ssize_t >	readCallback )

Start a new read thread.

Parameters

[in]	fd	A valid file descriptor open for reading.
[in]	readCallback	A callback to invoke when new data is available.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Stop()

void ns3::FdReader::Stop

(

)

Stop the read thread and reset internal state.

This does not close the file descriptor used for reading.
