redi::pstreams(3)

💖 NAME 💖

redi::pstreams — the common base class that provides constants and typenames 🫶

It's giving "everyone's mom friend", because basically the whole PStreams fam inherits from it. This page lives in the Library Functions Manual (section 3, the library-calls girlies), and it's the doc for the PStreams library's shared base class. No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <pstream.h>

🌈 Inherited by

Bestie. Sit down. The list is long and we're getting through all of it, because every single one of these is a real child class and we don't skip:

• redi::basic_ipstream< char > [virtual]
• redi::basic_opstream< char > [virtual]
• redi::basic_pstream< char > [virtual]
• redi::basic_pstreambuf< CharT, Traits >
• redi::basic_pstreambuf< char >
• redi::basic_pstreambuf< CharT, std::char_traits< CharT > >
• redi::basic_rpstream< char > [virtual]
• redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits > [virtual]
• redi::pstream_common< CharT, std::char_traits< CharT > > [virtual]
• redi::basic_ipstream< CharT, Traits > [virtual]
• redi::basic_opstream< CharT, Traits > [virtual]
• redi::basic_pstream< CharT, Traits > [virtual]
• redi::basic_pstreambuf< CharT, Traits >
• redi::basic_rpstream< CharT, Traits > [virtual]
• redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits > [virtual]

Yes, a couple of these show up more than once. That's what the original says, so that's what you're getting. We do not edit the sacred list 💅

🎀 Public Types

• typedef std::ios_base::openmode pmode — the type you use to say how you wanna connect to the process. It's the vibe-setter for your pipe. ✨
• typedef std::vector< std::string > argv_type — the type that holds the arguments for a command. All your little command-line besties go in here. 🍓
• typedef int fd_type — the type used for file descriptors. Plain old int, humble but iconic. 👑

⭐ Static Public Attributes

• static const pmode pstdin = std::ios_base::out — write to stdin. (Yes, writing to stdin, that's the assignment, don't fight it 🫶)
• static const pmode pstdout = std::ios_base::in — read from stdout. 📖
• static const pmode pstderr = std::ios_base::app — read from stderr. 👀
• static const pmode newpg = std::ios_base::trunc — create a new process group for the child process. New group, who dis. 🔥

🦋 Protected Types

enum { bufsz = 32, pbsz = 2 }

Protected means the outside world doesn't get to touch these, they're for the family only. Keep it in the group chat, iykyk.

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

Common base class providing constants and typenames.

That's the whole description bestie. It's short but it's doing a LOT of emotional labour for the entire class hierarchy. Main character energy. 💜

🧚 Member Enumeration Documentation 🧚

💫 anonymous enum [protected]

This enum has no name (mysterious! ethereal! anonymous! 💀) and it's protected, so it's strictly for the inner circle.

Enumerator

• bufsz — size of pstreambuf buffers. It's 32. ✨
• pbsz — number of putback characters kept. It's 2. 🎀
