Detailed Description

A RemoteConnection object provides a bidirectional connection to another RemoteConnection object on a remote machine.

The connection is implemented using a pair of file descriptors. Messages with a single byte type code and arbitrary data as the contents can be sent and received.

Member Function Documentation

◆ do_close()

void RemoteConnection::do_close ( )

Close the connection.

Definition at line 788 of file remoteconnection.cc.

References close_fd_or_socket(), context, RealTime::end_time(), fdin, fdout, LOGCALL_VOID, RealTime::now(), and throw_timeout().

Referenced by RemoteDatabase::do_close().

◆ get_message()

int RemoteConnection::get_message	(	std::string &	result,
		double	end_time
	)

Read one message from fdin.

Parameters

[out]	result	Message data.
	end_time	If this time is reached, then a timeout exception will be thrown. If (end_time == 0.0) then the operation will never timeout.

Returns: Message type code or -1 for EOF.

◆ get_message_chunk()

int RemoteConnection::get_message_chunk	(	std::string &	result,
		size_t	at_least,
		double	end_time
	)

Read a chunk of a message from fdin.

You must call get_message_chunked() before calling this method.

Parameters

[in,out]	result	Message data. This is appended to, so if you read more than needed the previous time, leave the excess in result.
	at_least	Return at least this many bytes in result, unless there isn't enough data left in the message (in which case all remaining data is read and 0 is returned).
	end_time	If this time is reached, then a timeout exception will be thrown. If (end_time == 0.0) then the operation will never timeout.

Returns: 1 if at least at_least bytes are now in result; -1 on EOF on the connection; 0 for having read < at_least bytes, but finished the message.

◆ get_message_chunked()

int RemoteConnection::get_message_chunked ( double end_time )

Prepare to read one message from fdin in chunks.

Sometimes a message can be sufficiently large that you don't want to read it all into memory before processing it. Also, it may be more efficient to process it as you go.

This method doesn't actually return any message data - call get_message_chunk() to do that.

Parameters

end_time If this time is reached, then a timeout exception will be thrown. If (end_time == 0.0) then the operation will never timeout.

Returns: Message type code or -1 for EOF.

◆ operator=()

void RemoteConnection::operator= ( const RemoteConnection & )

private

Don't allow assignment.

◆ read_at_least()

bool RemoteConnection::read_at_least	(	size_t	min_len,
		double	end_time
	)

private

Read until there are at least min_len bytes in buffer.

If for some reason this isn't possible, returns false upon EOF and otherwise throws NetworkError.

Parameters

min_len	Minimum number of bytes required in buffer.
end_time	If this time is reached, then a timeout exception will be thrown. If (end_time == 0.0), then keep trying indefinitely.

Returns: false on EOF, otherwise true.

◆ ready_to_read()

bool RemoteConnection::ready_to_read ( ) const

See if there is data available to read.

Returns: true if there is data waiting to be read.

◆ receive_file()

int RemoteConnection::receive_file	(	const std::string &	file,
		double	end_time
	)

Save the contents of a message as a file.

Parameters

file	Path to file to save the message data into. If the file exists it will be overwritten.
end_time	If this time is reached, then a timeout exception will be thrown. If (end_time == 0.0) then the operation will never timeout.

Returns: Message type code or -1 for EOF.

◆ send_file()

void RemoteConnection::send_file	(	char	type,
		int	fd,
		double	end_time
	)

Send the contents of a file as a message.

Parameters

type	Message type code.
fd	File containing the message data.
end_time	If this time is reached, then a timeout exception will be thrown. If (end_time == 0.0) then the operation will never timeout.

Send a message.

Parameters

s	Message data.
end_time	If this time is reached, then a timeout exception will be thrown. If (end_time == 0.0) then the operation will never timeout.

◆ shutdown()

void RemoteConnection::shutdown ( )

Shutdown the connection.

Sends a shutdown message to the server and waits for it to close its end of the connection.

References dummy, fdin, LOGCALL_VOID, MSG_SHUTDOWN, and send_message().

Referenced by RemoteDatabase::do_close().

◆ sniff_next_message_type()

int RemoteConnection::sniff_next_message_type ( double end_time )

Check what the next message type is.

This must not be called after a call to get_message_chunked() until get_message_chunk() has returned 0 to indicate the whole message has been received.

Other than that restriction, this may be called at any time to determine what the next message waiting to be processed is: it will not affect subsequent calls which read messages.

Parameters

end_time If this time is reached, then a timeout exception will be thrown. If (end_time == 0.0) then the operation will never timeout.

Returns: Message type code or -1 for EOF.
