Constant __HAVE_OOB__: constant Stdio.__HAVE_OOB__
Description: Exists and has the value 1 if OOB operations are available.
Note: In Pike 7.5 and later OOB operations are always present.

Constant __HAVE_SEND_FD__: constant Stdio.__HAVE_SEND_FD__
Description: Support for sending of file descriptors over Stdio.File()->pipe() objects with PROP_SEND_FD capability is supported.

Constant __OOB__

constant Stdio.__OOB__

Description

Implementation level of nonblocking I/O OOB support.

`0`	Nonblocking OOB support is not supported.
`1`	Nonblocking OOB works a little.
`2`	Nonblocking OOB almost works.
`3`	Nonblocking OOB works as intended.
`-1`	Unknown level of nonblocking OOB support.

This constant only exists when OOB operations are available, i.e. when __HAVE_OOB__ is 1.

Inherit _Stdio: inherit _Stdio : _Stdio

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.

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.
See also: write()

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.
