## Detailed Description

### template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL>
class ACE_Stream<>

This class is the primary abstraction for the ASX framework. It is moduled after System V Stream.

A Stream consists of a stack of <ace_modules>, each of which contains two <ace_tasks>. Even though the methods in this class are virtual, this class isn't really intended for subclassing unless you know what you are doing. In particular, the <ace_stream> destructor calls <close>, which won't be overridden properly unless you call it in a subclass destructor.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
anonymous enum

  | Enumeration values:
  M_DELETE | Indicates that <close> deletes the Tasks. Don't change this value without updating the same enum in class ACE_Module...

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
ACE_Stream<>::ACE_Stream | ( | void * | arg = `0`,
|  | ACE_Module< ACE_SYNCH_USE > * | head = `0`,
|  | ACE_Module< ACE_SYNCH_USE > * | tail = `0`
| ) |

| Create a Stream consisting of <head> and <tail> as the Stream head and Stream tail, respectively. If these are 0 then the <ace_stream_head> and <ace_stream_tail> are used, respectively. <arg> is the value past in to the <open> methods of the tasks.

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
ACE_Stream<>::~ACE_Stream | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Close down the stream and release all the resources.

## Member Function Documentation

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >

int ACE_Stream<>::control | ( | ACE_IO_Cntl_Msg::ACE_IO_Cntl_Cmds | cmd,
|  | void * | args
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Send control message down the stream.

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
ACE_BEGIN_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_DECL void ACE_Stream<>::dump | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
int ACE_Stream<>::get | ( | ACE_Message_Block *& | mb,
|  | ACE_Time_Value * | timeout = `0`
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Read the message <mb> that is stored in the stream head. Wait for upto <timeout> amount of absolute time for the operation to complete (or block forever if <timeout> == 0).

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
ACE_BEGIN_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_DECL ACE_INLINE ACE_Module< ACE_SYNCH_USE > * ACE_Stream<>::head | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| ) | `[virtual]`

| Insert a new module <mod> below the named module <prev_name>.

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
int ACE_Stream<>::link | ( | ACE_Stream< ACE_SYNCH_USE > & |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Create a pipe between two Streams.

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
int ACE_Stream<>::push | ( | ACE_Module< ACE_SYNCH_USE > * | mod | ) | `[virtual]`

| Add a new module <mod> right below the Stream head. The <open()> hook methods of the <ace_tasks> in this <ace_module> are invoked to initialize the tasks.

int ACE_Stream<>::remove | ( | const ACE_TCHAR * | mod,
|  | int | flags = `M_DELETE`
| ) | `[virtual]`
