Module Stdio

Inheritance graph

Inherit _Stdio: inherit _Stdio : _Stdio

Typedef close_callback_t: local typedef function(mixed|void:int)|zero Stdio.close_callback_t
Description: The type for close callback functions.

Typedef fs_event_callback_t: local typedef function(mixed|void, int:int)|zero Stdio.fs_event_callback_t
Description: The type for fs_event callback function functions.

Typedef read_callback_t

Description

The various read_callback signatures.

The string (or void) version is used when buffer mode (see set_buffer_mode) has not been enabled for reading.

The Buffer version is used when a Buffer has been enabled for reading.

In both cases the data is the newly arrived data, but in buffered mode data you did not fully read in the last read callback is kept in the buffer.

Typedef read_oob_callback_t: local typedef function(mixed|void, string|void:int)|zero Stdio.read_oob_callback_t
Description: The type for read out of band callback functions.

Typedef write_callback_t

Description

The various write_callback signatures.

The void version is used when buffer mode (see set_buffer_mode) has not been enabled for writing.

The Buffer version is used when a Buffer has been enabled for writing, add data to that buffer to send it.

Typedef write_oob_callback_t: local typedef function(mixed|void:int)|zero Stdio.write_oob_callback_t
Description: The type for write out of band callback functions.

Constant DATA_CHUNK_SIZE: final constant int Stdio.DATA_CHUNK_SIZE
Description: Size used in various places to divide incoming or outgoing data into chunks.

Constant TCSADRAIN

constant string Stdio.TCSADRAIN

Description

Argument to Stdio.File()->tcsetattr().

Change after all output has been written.

Constant TCSAFLUSH

constant string Stdio.TCSAFLUSH

Description

Argument to Stdio.File()->tcsetattr().

Change after all output has been written, and empty the input buffers.

Constant TCSANOW

constant string Stdio.TCSANOW

Description

Argument to Stdio.File()->tcsetattr().

Change immediately.

Variable stderr: FILE Stdio.stderr
Description: An instance of FILE("stderr"), the standard error stream. Use this when you want to output error messages.
See also: werror()

Variable stdin

FILE Stdio.stdin

Description

An instance of FILE("stdin"), the standard input stream. Use this when you want to read anything from the standard input. This example will read lines from standard input for as long as there are more lines to read. Each line will then be written to stdout together with the line number. We could use Stdio.stdout.write() instead of just write(), since they are the same function.

Example

int main()
  {
    int line;
    while(string s=Stdio.stdin.gets())
 	 write("%5d: %s\n", line++, s);
  }

Variable stdout: FILE Stdio.stdout
Description: An instance of FILE("stdout"), the standatd output stream. Use this when you want to write anything to the standard output.
