t.i.fdesc : module documentation

Part of twisted.internet View Source

Utility functions for dealing with POSIX file descriptors.
Function setNonBlocking Make a file descriptor non-blocking.
Function setBlocking Make a file descriptor blocking.
Function readFromFD Read from file descriptor, calling callback with resulting data.
Function writeToFD Write data to file descriptor.
def setNonBlocking(fd): (source)
Make a file descriptor non-blocking.
def setBlocking(fd): (source)
Make a file descriptor blocking.
def readFromFD(fd, callback): (source)

Read from file descriptor, calling callback with resulting data.

Returns same thing FileDescriptor.doRead would.
Parametersfdnon-blocking file descriptor to be read from. (type: int )
callback

a callable which accepts a single argument. If data is read from the file descriptor it will be called with this data. Handling exceptions from calling the callback is up to the caller.

Note that if the descriptor is still connected but no data is read, None will be returned but callback will not be called.
ReturnsCONNECTION_LOST on error, CONNECTION_DONE when fd is closed, otherwise None.
def writeToFD(fd, data): (source)

Write data to file descriptor.

Returns same thing FileDescriptor.writeSomeData would.
Parametersfdnon-blocking file descriptor to be written to. (type: int )
databytes to write to fd. (type: str or buffer )
Returnsnumber of bytes written, or CONNECTION_LOST.
