ReadBuffer Class Reference

#include <sclasses.hh>

Public Member Functions
	ReadBuffer (int fd, int bufsize=2048)
	Instantiate on a non-blocking filedescriptor, with a given buffer size in bytes.
void	setTimeout (double timeout)
	Set timeout in seconds.
bool	getChar (char *c)
	Gets you a character in c, or false in case of EOF.

Detailed Description

Simple buffered reader for use on a non-blocking socket. Has only one method to access data, getChar() which either gets you a character or it doesn't. If the internal buffer is empty, SimpleBuffer will attempt to get up to bufsize bytes more in one go. Optionally, with setTimeout(seconds) a timeout can be set.

WARNING: Only use ReadBuffer on a non-blocking socket! Otherwise it will block indefinitely to read 'bufsize' bytes, even if you only wanted one!
