Detailed Description

An abstraction of a single bytestream.

Used as a base class for InBand Bytestreams as well as SOCKS5 Bytestreams. You should not need to use this class directly.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Bytestream (  StreamType  type, LogSink &  logInstance, const JID &  initiator, const JID &  target, const std::string &  sid )  [inline]

Creates a new Bytestream. Parameters: type  The stream type. logInstance  A Logsink to use for logging. Obtain it from ClientBase::logInstance(). initiator  The initiator of the stream (usually the sender). target  The target of the stream (usually the receiver). sid  The stream's ID. Definition at line 56 of file bytestream.h.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void close (   )  [pure virtual]

Closes the bytestream. Implemented in InBandBytestream, and SOCKS5Bytestream.

virtual bool connect (   )  [pure virtual]

This function starts the connection process. Returns: True if a connection to a remote entity could be established, false otherwise. Note: If false is returned you should pass this Bytestream object to SIProfileFT::dispose() for deletion. Make sure you have a BytestreamDataHandler registered (using registerBytestreamDataHandler()) before calling this function. Implemented in InBandBytestream, and SOCKS5Bytestream.

const JID& initiator (   )  const [inline]

Returns the initiating entity's JID. If this bytestream is remote-initiated, this is the remote entity's JID. If it is local-initiated, this is the local JID. Returns: The initiator's JID. Definition at line 134 of file bytestream.h.

bool isOpen (   )  const [inline]

Returns whether the bytestream is open, that is, accepted by both parties and ready to send/receive data. Returns: Whether or not the bytestream is open. Definition at line 72 of file bytestream.h.

virtual ConnectionError recv (  int  timeout = -1  )  [pure virtual]

Call this function repeatedly to receive data. You should even do this if you use the bytestream to merely send data. May be a NOOP, depending on the actual stream type. Parameters: timeout  The timeout to use for select in microseconds. Default of -1 means blocking. Returns: The state of the connection. Implemented in InBandBytestream, and SOCKS5Bytestream.

void registerBytestreamDataHandler (  BytestreamDataHandler *  bdh  )  [inline]

Use this function to register an object that will receive any notifications from the Bytestream instance. Only one BytestreamDataHandler can be registered at any one time. Parameters: bdh  The BytestreamDataHandler-derived object to receive notifications. Definition at line 142 of file bytestream.h.

void removeBytestreamDataHandler (   )  [inline]

Removes the registered BytestreamDataHandler. Definition at line 148 of file bytestream.h.

virtual bool send (  const std::string &  data  )  [pure virtual]

Use this function to send a chunk of data over an open bytestream. If the stream is not open or has been closed again (by the remote entity or locally), nothing is sent and false is returned. This function does any base64 encoding for you, if necessary. Parameters: data  The block of data to send. Returns: True if the data has been sent (no guarantee of receipt), false in case of an error. Implemented in InBandBytestream, and SOCKS5Bytestream.

const std::string& sid (   )  const [inline]

Lets you retrieve the stream's ID. Returns: The stream's ID. Definition at line 114 of file bytestream.h.

const JID& target (   )  const [inline]

Returns the target entity's JID. If this bytestream is remote-initiated, this is the local JID. If it is local-initiated, this is the remote entity's JID. Returns: The target's JID. Definition at line 127 of file bytestream.h.

StreamType type (   )  const [inline]

Returns the stream's type. Returns: The stream's type. Definition at line 120 of file bytestream.h.
