buffered_stream

Adds buffering to the read- and write-related operations of a stream.

class buffered_stream :
  noncopyable

Types

Name	Description
executor_type	The type of the executor associated with the object.
lowest_layer_type	The type of the lowest layer.
next_layer_type	The type of the next layer.

Member Functions

Name	Description
async_fill	Start an asynchronous fill.
async_flush	Start an asynchronous flush.
async_read_some	Start an asynchronous read. The buffer into which the data will be read must be valid for the lifetime of the asynchronous operation.
async_write_some	Start an asynchronous write. The data being written must be valid for the lifetime of the asynchronous operation.
buffered_stream [constructor]	Construct, passing the specified argument to initialise the next layer.
close	Close the stream.
fill	Fill the buffer with some data. Returns the number of bytes placed in the buffer as a result of the operation. Throws an exception on failure. — Fill the buffer with some data. Returns the number of bytes placed in the buffer as a result of the operation, or 0 if an error occurred.
flush	Flush all data from the buffer to the next layer. Returns the number of bytes written to the next layer on the last write operation. Throws an exception on failure. — Flush all data from the buffer to the next layer. Returns the number of bytes written to the next layer on the last write operation, or 0 if an error occurred.
get_executor	Get the executor associated with the object.
in_avail	Determine the amount of data that may be read without blocking.
lowest_layer	Get a reference to the lowest layer. — Get a const reference to the lowest layer.
next_layer	Get a reference to the next layer.
peek	Peek at the incoming data on the stream. Returns the number of bytes read. Throws an exception on failure. — Peek at the incoming data on the stream. Returns the number of bytes read, or 0 if an error occurred.
read_some	Read some data from the stream. Returns the number of bytes read. Throws an exception on failure. — Read some data from the stream. Returns the number of bytes read or 0 if an error occurred.
write_some	Write the given data to the stream. Returns the number of bytes written. Throws an exception on failure. — Write the given data to the stream. Returns the number of bytes written, or 0 if an error occurred.

The buffered_stream class template can be used to add buffering to the synchronous and asynchronous read and write operations of a stream.
