Member Function Documentation

finish()

bool finish ( )

inlineinherited

stop intercepting the stream.

Returns

true if the object was capturing and stream could be restored

Definition at line 46 of file IOIntercept.h.

      {
        if (!m_capturing) return false;
        m_capturing = false;
        return replaceFD(m_savedFD);
      }

readFD()

void readFD ( int  fd, std::string &  out  )

staticprotectedinherited

Read the contents of a file descriptor until there is no more input and place them in out.

Parameters

fd	file descriptor to read, should be opened in non blocking mode O_NOBLOCK
out	string to be replaced with all the bytes read from fd

Definition at line 102 of file IOIntercept.cc.

  {
    out.clear();
    if (fd <= 0) return;
    // need a buffer to read
    static std::unique_ptr<char[]> buffer(new char[1024]);
    // so then, read everything
    while (true) {
      ssize_t size = read(fd, buffer.get(), 1024);
      if (size <= 0) {
        // in case we get interrupted by signal, try again
        if (size < 0 && errno == EINTR)  continue;
        break;
      }
      out.append(buffer.get(), static_cast<size_t>(size));
    }
  }

replaceFD()

bool replaceFD ( int  fileDescriptor )

protectedinherited

Replace the file descriptor of m_fileObject with the one passed.

Parameters

fileDescriptor

file descriptor to be set for m_fileObject using dup2()

Definition at line 120 of file IOIntercept.cc.

  {
    // obviously we don't want to replace invalid descriptors
    if (fileDescriptor < 0) return false;
    // flush existing stream
    m_stream << std::flush;
    std::fflush(m_fileObject);
    // and clear the bad bits we might have gotten when pipe capacity is reached
    m_stream.clear();
    // and then replace the file descriptor
    const int currentFD = fileno(m_fileObject);
    if (currentFD < 0) {
      B2ERROR("Error obtaining file descriptor: " << std::strerror(errno));
      return false;
    }
    while (dup2(fileDescriptor, currentFD) < 0) {
      if (errno != EINTR && errno != EBUSY) {
        B2ERROR("Error in dup2(), cannot replace file descriptor: " << std::strerror(errno));
        return false;
      }
      // interrupted or busy, let's try again
    }
    return true;
  }

setReplacementFD()

void setReplacementFD ( int  fd )

inlineprotectedinherited

set the replacement file descriptor, should be called in the constructor of derived classes

Definition at line 54 of file IOIntercept.h.

{ m_replacementFD = fd; }

start()

bool start ( )

inlineinherited

start intercepting the stream.

Returns

true on success, false on any error

Definition at line 38 of file IOIntercept.h.

      {
        // only start if we are not already running
        if (!m_capturing) m_capturing = replaceFD(m_replacementFD);
        return m_capturing;
      }
