Enumeration Type Documentation

IoEncoding

enum ndn::io::IoEncoding

Indicates how a file or stream of bytes is encoded.

Enumerator
NO_ENCODING	Raw binary, without encoding.
BASE64	Base64 encoding. save() inserts a newline after every 64 characters, load() can accept base64 text with or without newlines.
HEX	Hexadecimal encoding. save() uses uppercase letters A-F, load() can accept mixed-case.

Function Documentation

load() [1/2]

template<typename T >

shared_ptr<T> ndn::io::load	(	const std::string &	filename,
		IoEncoding	encoding = BASE64
	)

Reads a TLV element from a file.

Template Parameters

T	Type of TLV element; T must be WireDecodable and the nested type T::Error, if defined, must be a subclass of ndn::tlv::Error.

Returns

the TLV element, or nullptr if an error occurs

Note

This function has a peculiar error handling behavior. Consider using loadTlv() instead.

Definition at line 153 of file io.hpp.

load() [2/2]

template<typename T >

shared_ptr<T> ndn::io::load	(	std::istream &	is,
		IoEncoding	encoding = BASE64
	)

Reads a TLV element from a stream.

Template Parameters

T	Type of TLV element; T must be WireDecodable and the nested type T::Error, if defined, must be a subclass of ndn::tlv::Error.

Returns

the TLV element, or nullptr if an error occurs

Note

This function has a peculiar error handling behavior. Consider using loadTlv() instead.

Definition at line 120 of file io.hpp.

loadBuffer()

shared_ptr< Buffer > ndn::io::loadBuffer	(	std::istream &	is,
		IoEncoding	encoding = BASE64
	)

Reads bytes from a stream until EOF.

Returns

a Buffer containing the bytes read from the stream

Exceptions

Error	An error occurred, e.g., malformed input.
std::invalid_argument	The specified encoding is not supported.

Definition at line 37 of file io.cpp.

loadTlv()

template<typename T >

T ndn::io::loadTlv	(	std::istream &	is,
		IoEncoding	encoding = BASE64
	)

Reads a TLV element of type T from a stream.

Template Parameters

T	Class type representing the TLV element; must be WireDecodable.

Returns

the parsed TLV element

Exceptions

Error	An error occurred, e.g., malformed input.
std::invalid_argument	The specified encoding is not supported.

Definition at line 98 of file io.hpp.

save() [1/2]

template<typename T >

void ndn::io::save	(	const T &	obj,
		const std::string &	filename,
		IoEncoding	encoding = BASE64
	)

Writes a TLV element to a file.

Template Parameters

T	type of TLV element; T must be WireEncodable and the nested type T::Error, if defined, must be a subclass of ndn::tlv::Error

Exceptions

Error	error during encoding or saving
std::invalid_argument	the specified encoding is not supported

Definition at line 199 of file io.hpp.

save() [2/2]

template<typename T >

void ndn::io::save	(	const T &	obj,
		std::ostream &	os,
		IoEncoding	encoding = BASE64
	)

Writes a TLV element to a stream.

Template Parameters

T	type of TLV element; T must be WireEncodable and the nested type T::Error, if defined, must be a subclass of ndn::tlv::Error

Exceptions

Error	error during encoding or saving
std::invalid_argument	the specified encoding is not supported

Definition at line 175 of file io.hpp.

saveBuffer()

void ndn::io::saveBuffer	(	span< const uint8_t >	buf,
		std::ostream &	os,
		IoEncoding	encoding = BASE64
	)

Writes a sequence of bytes to a stream.

Exceptions

Error	error during saving
std::invalid_argument	the specified encoding is not supported

Definition at line 63 of file io.cpp.
