Class: PacketReader

Parent class: PacketPipe

Description:
This class reads packets from a given istream. Note that it will only read packets of a single type specified in the constructor.

When you pull a packet out of a PacketReader, it reads a new packet from the istream. If you push a packet into a PacketReader it will come out the other side like a straight pipe. This might be useful in some cases but isn't the sort of thing you want in general.

See SwiftTypedPacketReader for a more sophisticated reader which can produce different types of packets depending on APID.

Data Fields

private Reader* r

private CCSDSPacket* p

Constructors / Destructor

public PacketReader(istream* in, CCSDSPacket* p)
Constructor. You must specify an istream and a prototype packet cast as a generic CCSDSPacket. The reader will use that packet to read from the istream.

public ~PacketReader()

Methods

public virtual CCSDSPacket* pullOut()
Read a packet from the underlying istream.

public virtual void pump()
Read all the packets and send them down the pipe.
