Detailed Description

This is the streambuf subclass used by SerialStream.

This subclass takes care of opening the serial port file in the required modes and providing the corresponding file descriptor to SerialStream so that various parameters associated with the serial port can be set. Several features of this streambuf class resemble those of std::filebuf, however this class it not made a subclass of filebuf because we need access to the file descriptor associated with the serial port and the standard filebuf does not provide access to it.

At present, this class uses unbuffered I/O and all calls to setbuf() will be ignored.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::BaudRateEnum

Deprecated

This enumeration will be removed in revision 0.7.x of libserial. It is here for backward compatibility with 0.5.x releases. Please use the corresponding enumeration from SerialPort class instead.

This enumeration is deprecated. It will be removed in version 0.7.0. It is here for backward compatibility with version 0.5.x. Please use SerialPort::CharacterSize instead.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SerialStreamBuf ()

The default constructor.

LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::~SerialStreamBuf ()

The destructor.

LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SerialStreamBuf (const SerialStreamBuf &) [private]

Member Function Documentation

const BaudRateEnum LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::BaudRate () const

Return the current baud rate of the serial port. If the baud rate is not set to a valid value then it returns BAUD_INVALID.

const CharSizeEnum LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::CharSize () const

Return the character size currently being used for serial communication.

SerialStreamBuf* LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::close ()

If is_open() == false, returns a null pointer. If a put area exists, calls overflow(EOF) to flush characters. Finally it closes the file by calling std::close(mFileDescriptor) where mFileDescriptor is the value returned by the last call to open().

For the implementation of the corresponding function in class filebuf, if the last virtual member function called on *this (between underflow, overflow, seekoff, and seekpos) was overflow then it calls a_codecvt.unshift (possible several times) to determine a termination sequence, inserts those characters and calls overflow(EOF) again. However, this is not implemented here yet.

Postcondition: is_open() == false

Returns:

this on success, a null pointer otherwise.

const FlowControlEnum LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::FlowControl () const

Return the current flow control setting.

bool LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::is_open () const

Returns true if a previous call to open() succeeded (returned a non-null value) and there has been no intervening call to close.

short LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::NumOfStopBits () const

Get the number of stop bits being used during serial communication.

Returns:

The number of stop bits.

SerialStreamBuf* LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::open (const std::string filename, std::ios_base::openmode mode = std::ios_base::in|std::ios_base::out)

If is_open() != false, returns a null pointer. Otherwise, initializes the streambuf as required. It then opens a file, if possible, whose name is given as the string filename using the system call std::open(filename.c_str(), flags). The value of parameter flags is obtained from the value of the parameter mode. At present, only ios_base::in, ios_base::out, and (ios_base::in|ios_base::out) make sense for a serial port and hence all other settings result in the call to fail. The value of flags is obtained as:

flags = u_flags | O_NOCTTY

where u_flags is obtained from the following table depending on the value of the parameter mode:

in out u_flags + O_RDONLY + O_WRONLY + + O_RDWR

Returns:

If the open() system call succeeds the method returns this. If the call fails, then it returns a null pointer.

SerialStreamBuf& LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::operator= (const SerialStreamBuf &) [private]

virtual int_type LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::overflow (int_type c) [protected], [virtual]

Writes the specified character to the associated serial port.

Returns:

The character c.

const ParityEnum LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::Parity () const

Get the current parity setting for the serial port.

Returns:

The parity setting for the serial port.

virtual int_type LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::pbackfail (int_type c = traits_type::eof()) [protected], [virtual]

This function is called when a putback of a character fails. This must be implemented for unbuffered I/O as all streambuf subclasses are required to provide putback of at least on character.

const BaudRateEnum LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SetBaudRate (const BaudRateEnum baudRate)

If is_open() != true, return -1. Otherwise, set the baud rate of the associated serial port. Return the baud rate on success and BAUD_INVALID on failure.

virtual std::streambuf* LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::setbuf (char_type *, std::streamsize) [protected], [virtual]

Performs an operation that is defined separately for each class derived from streambuf. The default behavior is to do nothing if gptr() is non-null and gptr()!=egptr(). Also, setbuf(0, 0) usually means unbuffered I/O and setbuf(p, n) means use p[0]...p[n-1] to hold the buffered characters. In general, this method implements the subclass's notion of getting memory for the buffered characters.

In the case of SerialStreamBuf, we want to keep using unbuffered I/O. Hence, using this method has no effect at present.

const CharSizeEnum LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SetCharSize (const CharSizeEnum charSize)

Set the character size to be used during serial communication. It returns the character size on success and CHAR_SIZE_INVALID on failure.

const FlowControlEnum LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SetFlowControl (const FlowControlEnum flowControlType)

Use the specified flow control.

short LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SetNumOfStopBits (short numOfStopBits)

Set the number of stop bits used during serial communication. The only valid values are 1 and 2.

Parameters:

stop_bits The number of stop bits. (1 or 2).

Returns:

The number of stop bits or -1 on failure.

int LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SetParametersToDefault ()

Initialize the serial communication parameters to their default values.

const ParityEnum LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SetParity (const ParityEnum parityType)

Set the parity for serial communication.

Parameters:

parity The parity value.

const short LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SetVMin (short vtime)

Set the minimum number of characters for non-canonical reads. See VMIN in man termios(3).

const short LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::SetVTime (short vtime)

Set character buffer timeout in 10ths of a second. This applies to non-canonical reads.

virtual std::streamsize LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::showmanyc () [protected], [virtual]

Check, wether input is available on the port. If you call SerialStream::in_avail, this method will be called to check for available input.

while( serial_port.rdbuf()->in_avail() > 0  ) {


  serial_port.get(ch);


  ...
}

virtual int_type LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::uflow () [protected], [virtual]

Reads and returns the next character from the associated serial port if one otherwise returns traits::eof(). This method is used for unbuffered I/O while underflow() is called for unbuffered I/O.

Returns:

The next character from the serial port.

virtual int_type LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::underflow () [protected], [virtual]

Reads and returns the next character from the associated serial port if one otherwise returns traits::eof(). This method is used for buffered I/O while uflow() is called for unbuffered I/O.

Returns:

The next character from the serial port.

const short LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::VMin () const

Get the VMIN value for the device. This represents the minimum number of characters for non-canonical reads.

const short LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::VTime () const

Get the current timeout value for non-canonical reads in deciseconds.

virtual std::streamsize LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::xsgetn (char_type * s, std::streamsize n) [protected], [virtual]

Reads upto n characters from the serial port and returns them through the character array located at s.

Returns:

The number of characters actually read from the serial port.

virtual std::streamsize LibSerial::SerialStreamBuf::xsputn (const char_type * s, std::streamsize n) [protected], [virtual]

Writes upto n characters from the character sequence at s to the serial port associated with the buffer.

Returns:

The number of characters that were successfully written to the serial port.
