ticc_fdstream(1)

📦 version 0.36, in alpine 3.24, nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, you found ticc_fdstream(1) from the General Commands Manual — and it's literally about iostreams tied to File Descriptors. no cap, let's get into it 💅✨

👑 NAME 👑

ticc_fdstream — Implementation of iostreams tied to File Descriptors 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The page opens with: Short description. Needs work... — iconic honesty, honestly 😭. Here's the tea:

The main functions are: 💖

  • fdostream( int fd ); — Open an ouput stream connected to the socket with the id: fd 🎀
  • fdistream( int fd ); — Open an input stream connected to the socket with the id: fd 🌸

Both fdostream and fdistream can be used as normal ostream and istream streams for output/input respectively. periodt ✨

The non-blocking helpers are:

bool nb_getline( istream& stream, string& s, int& timeout );

bool nb_putline( ostream& stream, const string& s, int& timeout );

They read/write a string s from/to a non-blocking stream stream using timeout to terminate the operation when it fails to complete within timeout 🔥

⚠️ This only works for streams connected to a socket for which the operation mode is set to non_blocking, using fcntl( sock, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK ) or the like. 🫶
