# ACE\_SPIPE(3)

Defines the member functions for the base class of the ACE\_SPIPE abstraction.

## NAME

ACE\_SPIPE -  Defines the member functions for the base class of the ACE\_SPIPE abstraction.

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <ace/SPIPE.h>
class ACE_SPIPE : public ACE_IPC_SAP
{
  public:
    int close (void);
    int remove (void);
    int get_local_addr (ACE_SPIPE_Addr &) const;
    int disable (int signum) const;
    void dump (void) const;
    ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;
  protected:
    ACE_SPIPE (void);
    ACE_SPIPE_Addr local_addr_;
};
```

## PUBLIC MEMBERS

```
int close (void);
```

Close down the STREAM pipe without removing the rendezvous point.

```
int remove (void);
```

Close down the STREAM pipe and remove the rendezvous point from the file system.

```
int get_local_addr (ACE_SPIPE_Addr &) const;
```

Return the local address of this endpoint.

```
int disable (int signum) const;
```

Disable signal signum This is here to prevent Win32 from disabling SPIPE using socket calls

```
void dump (void) const;
```

Dump the state of an object.

```
ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;
```

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.

## PROTECTED MEMBERS

```
ACE_SPIPE (void);
```

Ensure that this class is an abstract base class

```
ACE_SPIPE_Addr local_addr_;
```

Our local address.
