stream_send_utf32_char

Writes a UTF-32 character to the stream buffer.

Description

This function writes a UTF-32 character to the stream buffer. The character is converted according to the stream's character format prior to writing the character to the stream buffer. It attempts to store the converted character in the stream buffer. If there is enough room available in the stream buffer then it stores the data in the buffer and returns immediately. The data is not written to the actual communication channel until the stream is flushed using stream_flush or there is no more room available in the stream buffer. If an error occurs, then it returns a negative error code. If the connection is closed it is considered an error condition.

Note that this function only writes complete characters to the stream. It will not write some but not all of the code units comprising a multi-unit character.

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 the converted character if the stream's character format is UTF-16 or UTF-32.

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. All the data will be consumed and the total number of code units read from the caller's buffer is returned (1). Some of the data may remain in the stream buffer and not be sent until the next time stream_flush is called or there is no more room available in the stream buffer. 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 the number of code units read from the caller's buffer and sent successfully after conversion. If the character could not be sent 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 sending or flushing data at the same time. However, data may be sent 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.

Parameters

t_stream stream

A client stream established using stream_connect or stream_accept.

t_utf32_char value
