stream_get_integer_property

Gets the values of the specified integer properties of the stream.

Description

This function gets the values of the specified integer properties. Not all protocol drivers support integer properties. If the protocol does not support integer properties then calling this function will return -QERR_NOT_SUPPORTED. If a particular integer property is not recognized then it will return -QERR_PROPERTY_NOT_RECOGNIZED.

The stream property functions allow more flexibility in controlling the behaviour of the underlying protocol.

Protocols may have custom integer properties. However, there are a set of standard integer properties which are listed below:

Description

STREAM_PROPERTY_BYTES_READ

Read only

The number of bytes read by the stream.

STREAM_PROPERTY_BYTES_WRITTEN

Read only

The number of bytes written to the stream.

Prototype

t_error
stream_get_integer_property(t_stream stream, const t_stream_integer_property properties[], t_uint num_properties, t_int buffer[]);
    

Parameters

t_stream stream

A stream established using stream_listen, stream_connect or stream_accept.

const t_stream_integer_property * properties

An array of property codes containing the properties to be retrieved.

t_uint num_properties

The number of property codes in the properties array.

t_int * buffer

An array in which the property values will be returned. The value at a particular index corresponds to the property code at the same index in the properties array.

Return value

Returns 0 on success. If an error occurs then a negative error code is returned. If the protocol does not support integer properties then -QERR_NOT_SUPPORTED is returned. If a property code is not recognized then it will return -QERR_PROPERTY_NOT_RECOGNIZED.

Error codes

This function does not return any error code.

Examples

t_stream client;

const char uri[] = "file:myfile.txt?mode=r";
const t_int nonblocking = false;
const t_int send_buffer_size = 8000;
const t_int receive_buffer_size = 8000;

result = stream_connect(uri, nonblocking, send_buffer_size, receive_buffer_size, &client);
if (result == 0) {
    t_stream_integer_property codes = { STREAM_PROPERTY_BYTES_READ };
    t_int values[ARRAY_LENGTH(codes)];
    
    ...
    
    result = stream_get_integer_property(client, codes, ARRAY_LENGTH(codes), values);
    if (result >= 0) // then property value retrieved
    
    ...
}
