stream_poke_int_array

Writes an array of 32-bit integers to the stream buffer.

Description

This function writes an array of 32-bit integers to the stream buffer. It attempts to store the integers in the stream buffer. It either writes all of the array or none of it. If there is enough room available in the stream buffer then it stores the data in the buffer and returns immediately. However, the stream pointer is not advanced, so the data is not written to the actual communication channel. The data will only allowed to be written to the underlying communication channel if stream_poke_end is called. If an error occurs, then it returns a negative error code. If the connection is closed it is considered an error condition.

The size of the stream poke buffer must be at least as large as num_elements * sizeof(t_int) bytes.

If the stream has been configured to swap bytes using stream_set_swap_bytes or stream_set_byte_order then this function will swap the order of the bytes within each integer when they are poked.

If stream_listen or stream_connect was called with the non-blocking flag set to false (0), then this function may block attempting to flush the stream buffer (to write out data previously sent and still waiting in the stream buffer). Once the entire array is poked into the buffer then 1 is returned. If an error occurs then the error code is returned and the stream should be closed.

If stream_listen or stream_connect was called with the non-blocking flag set to true (1), then this function does not block. It returns 1 on success. If the entire array could not be poked without blocking, then -QERR_WOULD_BLOCK is returned. If an error occurs then the error code is returned and the stream should be closed.

This function does not support two threads poking or flushing data at the same time. However, data may be poked or the stream flushed by another thread at the same time as data is being received.

The BSD socket API has no equivalent to this function.

Prototype

t_int
stream_poke_int_array(t_stream stream, t_stream_poke_state * state, const t_int * buffer, t_uint num_elements);
    

Parameters

t_stream stream

A client stream established using stream_connect or stream_accept.

t_stream_poke_state * state

The poke state initialized using stream_poke_begin.

const t_int * buffer

The array of integers to be poked.

t_uint num_elements

The number of elements in the array to poke.

Return value

Returns 1 on success. If an error occurs then a negative error code is returned.

Error codes

This function does not return any error code.
