Member Function Documentation

bool Filter::Attachable  )  [inline, virtual]
 

returns whether this object allows attachment

Some BufferedTransformation objects (e.g. Filter objects) allow other BufferedTransformation objects to be attached. When this is done, the first object instead of buffering its output, sents that output to the attached object as input. The entire attachment chain is deleted when the anchor object is destructed.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 19 of file filters.h.

bool Filter::Flush bool  hardFlush,
int  propagation = -1,
bool  blocking = true
[virtual]
 

flush buffered input and/or output

Parameters:
hardFlush is used to indicate whether all data should be flushed
Note:
Hard flushes must be used with care. It means try to process and output everything, even if there may not be enough data to complete the action. For example, hard flushing a HexDecoder would cause an error if you do it after inputing an odd number of hex encoded characters. For some types of filters, for example ZlibDecompressor, hard flushes can only be done at "synchronization points". These synchronization points are positions in the data stream that are created by hard flushes on the corresponding reverse filters, in this example ZlibCompressor. This is useful when zlib compressed data is moved across a network in packets and compression state is preserved across packets, as in the ssh2 protocol.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Reimplemented in SecretSharing, and InformationDispersal.

Definition at line 68 of file filters.cpp.

bool Filter::MessageSeriesEnd int  propagation = -1,
bool  blocking = true
[virtual]
 

mark end of a series of messages

There should be a MessageEnd immediately before MessageSeriesEnd.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 82 of file filters.cpp.

BufferedTransformation& BufferedTransformation::Ref  )  [inline, inherited]
 

return a reference to this object

This function is useful for passing a temporary BufferedTransformation object to a function that takes a non-const reference. Definition at line 711 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual byte* BufferedTransformation::CreatePutSpace unsigned int &  size  )  [inline, virtual, inherited]
 

request space which can be written into by the caller, and then used as input to Put()

Note:
The purpose of this method is to help avoid doing extra memory allocations.

Reimplemented in MeterFilter, HashFilter, Redirector, ArraySink, ArrayXorSink, and ByteQueue.

Definition at line 730 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual unsigned int BufferedTransformation::Put2 const byte *  inString,
unsigned int  length,
int  messageEnd,
bool  blocking
[pure virtual, inherited]
 

input multiple bytes for blocking or non-blocking processing

Parameters:
messageEnd means how many filters to signal MessageEnd to, including this one

virtual unsigned int BufferedTransformation::PutModifiable2 byte *  inString,
unsigned int  length,
int  messageEnd,
bool  blocking
[inline, virtual, inherited]
 

input multiple bytes that may be modified by callee for blocking or non-blocking processing

Parameters:
messageEnd means how many filters to signal MessageEnd to, including this one

Reimplemented in MeterFilter, and FilterWithBufferedInput.

Definition at line 748 of file cryptlib.h.

virtual void BufferedTransformation::SetAutoSignalPropagation int  propagation  )  [inline, virtual, inherited]
 

set propagation of automatically generated and transferred signals

propagation == 0 means do not automaticly generate signals

Reimplemented in SourceTemplate< T >, SourceTemplate< FileStore >, SourceTemplate< RandomNumberStore >, and SourceTemplate< StringStore >.

Definition at line 788 of file cryptlib.h.

unsigned long BufferedTransformation::MaxRetrievable  )  const [virtual, inherited]
 

returns number of bytes that is currently ready for retrieval

All retrieval functions return the actual number of bytes retrieved, which is the lesser of the request number and MaxRetrievable().

Reimplemented in FileStore, RandomNumberStore, NullStore, MessageQueue, ByteQueue, and RandomPool.

bool BufferedTransformation::GetNextMessage  )  [virtual, inherited]
 

start retrieving the next message

Returns false if no more messages exist or this message is not completely retrieved.

Reimplemented in MessageQueue, and Store.

Definition at line 336 of file cryptlib.cpp.

References BufferedTransformation::AnyMessages(), and BufferedTransformation::AttachedTransformation().

bool Waitable::Wait unsigned long  milliseconds  )  [inherited]
 

wait on this object

same as creating an empty container, calling GetWaitObjects(), and calling Wait() on the container Definition at line 321 of file wait.cpp.
