Member Function Documentation

◆ read()

◆ reply()

virtual bool yarp::os::UnbufferedContactable::reply ( PortWriter writer)
pure virtual

Send an object as a reply to an object read from the port.

Only call this method if you set the willReply flag to true when you called Port::read.

Parameters
writerany object that knows how to write itself to a network connection - see for example Bottle
Returns
true iff the object is successfully written

Implemented in yarp::os::AbstractContactable, yarp::os::Port, and yarp::os::RpcClient.

◆ replyAndDrop()

virtual bool yarp::os::UnbufferedContactable::replyAndDrop ( PortWriter writer)
pure virtual

Same as reply(), but closes connection after reply.

This is useful for interoperation with XML/RPC clients that do not expect to reuse a connection.

Parameters
writerany object that knows how to write itself to a network connection - see for example Bottle
Returns
true iff the object is successfully written

Implemented in yarp::os::AbstractContactable, yarp::os::Port, and yarp::os::RpcClient.

◆ write() [1/2]

virtual bool yarp::os::UnbufferedContactable::write ( const PortWriter writer,
const PortWriter callback = nullptr 
) const
pure virtual

◆ write() [2/2]

virtual bool yarp::os::UnbufferedContactable::write ( const PortWriter writer,
PortReader reader,
const PortWriter callback = nullptr 
) const
pure virtual
