Detailed Description

Function Documentation

template<typename SyncReadStream , typename Allocator >

std::size_t asio::read_until ( SyncReadStream &  s, asio::basic_streambuf< Allocator > &  b, char  delim  )

inline

Read data into a streambuf until it contains a specified delimiter.

This function is used to read data into the specified streambuf until the streambuf's get area contains the specified delimiter. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:

• The get area of the streambuf contains the specified delimiter.

• An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read_some function. If the streambuf's get area already contains the delimiter, the function returns immediately.

Parameters

s	The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.
b	A streambuf object into which the data will be read.
delim	The delimiter character.

Returns

The number of bytes in the streambuf's get area up to and including the delimiter.

Exceptions

asio::system_error

Thrown on failure.

Note

After a successful read_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent read_until operation to examine.

Example

To read data into a streambuf until a newline is encountered:

 asio::streambuf b;
asio::read_until(s, b, '\n');
std::istream is(&b);
std::string line;
std::getline(is, line); 

After the read_until operation completes successfully, the buffer b contains the delimiter:

{ 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 

The call to std::getline then extracts the data up to and including the delimiter, so that the string line contains:

{ 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n' } 

The remaining data is left in the buffer b as follows:

{ 'd', 'e', ... } 

This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent read_until operation.

Read data into a streambuf until it contains a specified delimiter.

This function is used to read data into the specified streambuf until the streambuf's get area contains the specified delimiter. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:

• The get area of the streambuf contains the specified delimiter.

• An error occurred.

Parameters

s	The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.
b	A streambuf object into which the data will be read.
delim	The delimiter character.
ec	Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.

Returns

The number of bytes in the streambuf's get area up to and including the delimiter. Returns 0 if an error occurred.

Note

After a successful read_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent read_until operation to examine.

Parameters

s	The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.

delim	The delimiter string.

Returns

The number of bytes in the streambuf's get area up to and including the delimiter.

Exceptions

asio::system_error

Thrown on failure.

Note

After a successful read_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent read_until operation to examine.

Example

To read data into a streambuf until a newline is encountered:

 asio::streambuf b;
asio::read_until(s, b, "\r\n");
std::istream is(&b);
std::string line;
std::getline(is, line);

{ 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... }

{ 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n' }

This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent read_until operation.

	)

Read data into a streambuf until a function object indicates a match.

This function is used to read data into the specified streambuf until a user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data contained in the streambuf, indicates a successful match. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:

• The match condition function object returns a std::pair where the second element evaluates to true.

• An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read_some function. If the match condition function object already indicates a match, the function returns immediately.

Parameters

s	The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.
b	A streambuf object into which the data will be read.
match_condition	The function object to be called to determine whether a match exists. The signature of the function object must be: pair<iterator, bool> match_condition(iterator begin, iterator end); where iterator represents the type: buffers_iterator<basic_streambuf<Allocator>::const_buffers_type> The iterator parameters begin and end define the range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a match. The first member of the return value is an iterator marking one-past-the-end of the bytes that have been consumed by the match function. This iterator is used to calculate the begin parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The second member of the return value is true if a match has been found, false otherwise.
ec	Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.

Returns

The number of bytes in the streambuf's get area that have been fully consumed by the match function. Returns 0 if an error occurred.

Note

After a successful read_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent

The default implementation of the is_match_condition type trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects with a result_type typedef. It must be specialised for other user-defined function objects.
