Member Function Documentation

const Error& ecl::EConsole::error ( ) const

inline

Returns the most recent error status.

Use this to check on the status of the object after a method has been called. Mostly this is here to serve as a graceful fallback for when exceptions are disabled.

Returns

Definition at line 180 of file console.hpp.

void ecl::EConsole::flush

(

)

Flush the internal buffer.

Flushes the userspace buffers to standard output.

Exceptions

StandardException

: throws if flushing returned an error [debug mode only].

Definition at line 81 of file console.cpp.

bool ecl::EConsole::open ( )

inline

Dummy handle to satisfy the output device concept.

For console devices this does nothing - the standard output is always open. It is just a dummy handle built to ensure the output device concept is satisfied.

Returns

bool : always returns true (it is always open).

Definition at line 139 of file console.hpp.

long ecl::EConsole::write

(

const char &

c

)

Write a character to the buffer.

Write a character to the buffer. It will automatically flush if the buffer exceeds its capacity.

Parameters

c	: the character to write.

Returns

long : the number of bytes written.

Exceptions

StandardException

: throws if writing returned an error [debug mode only].

Definition at line 60 of file console.cpp.

long ecl::EConsole::write	(	const char *	s,
		unsigned long	n
	)

Write a character string to the buffer.

Write a character string to the buffer. It will automatically flush if the buffer exceeds its capacity.

Parameters

s	: points to the beginning of the character string
n	: the number of characters to write.

Returns

long: the number of bytes written.

Exceptions

StandardException

: throws if flushing returned an error [debug mode only].
