| pipe.h | data streams between processes |
Pipes are data streams between processes.
PIPE_MAX_SENDERS - macro
The maximum amount of processes, which can write data to one pipe.
PIPE_STD_STREAM_SIZE - macro
The size of a pipes stream buffer, in bytes.
pipe_T - struct
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| stream | stream_T* | The stream, where the pipes data is saved. |
| receiver | process_T* | The process which is allowed to read from the pipe. |
| senders | process_T* [PIPE_MAX_SENDERS] | The processes which are allowed to write to the pipe. |
| senders_bitmap | bitmap_T | Indicates which fields of senders are currently used. |
pipe_init(pipe*, receiver*) - function (void)
Initializes pipe and allocates a stream for it.
pipe_destruct(pipe*) - function (void)
Destructs pipe and frees all of its resources.
pipe_add_sender(pipe*, sender*) - function (bool)
Adds sender to the sender list of pipe. Returns if the operation was successful.
pipe_remove_sender(pipe*, sender*) - function (void)
Removes sender from the sender list of pipe.
pipe_write(pipe*, buffer_in*, n) - function (uint64_t)
Writes at most n bytes from buffer_in into pipe. Returns the amount of bytes that were actually written. If the amount of actually written bytes is smaller than n all sender processes of pipe will be PIPE_OUT blocked. If the receiver is PIPE_IN blocked the blocker will be removed.
pipe_read(pipe*, buffer_out*, n) - function (uint64_t)
Reads at most n bytes from buffer_in into pipe. Returns the amount of bytes that were actually read. If the amount of actually read bytes is smaller than n the receiver process of pipe will be PIPE_IN blocked. If the senders are PIPE_OUT blocked the blockers will be removed.
