# ACE\_SPIPE\_Connector(3)

Defines an active connection factory for the STREAM pipe wrappers.

## NAME

ACE\_SPIPE\_Connector -  Defines an active connection factory for the STREAM pipe wrappers.

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <ace/SPIPE_Connector.h>
class ACE_SPIPE_Connector
{
  public:
    ACE_SPIPE_Connector (void);
    ACE_SPIPE_Connector (
        ACE_SPIPE_Stream &new_io,
        const ACE_SPIPE_Addr &remote_sap,
        ACE_Time_Value *timeout = 0,
        const ACE_Addr &local_sap = ACE_Addr::sap_any,
        int reuse_addr = 0,
        int flags = O_RDWR,
        int perms = 0
        );
    int connect (
        ACE_SPIPE_Stream &new_io,
        const ACE_SPIPE_Addr &remote_sap,
        ACE_Time_Value *timeout = 0,
        const ACE_Addr &local_sap = ACE_Addr::sap_any,
        int reuse_addr = 0,
        int flags = O_RDWR,
        int perms = 0
        );
    int reset_new_handle (ACE_HANDLE handle);
    typedef ACE_SPIPE_Addr PEER_ADDR;
    typedef ACE_SPIPE_Stream PEER_STREAM;
    void dump (void) const;
    ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;
};
```

## Initialization method.

```
ACE_SPIPE_Connector (void);
```

Default constructor.

```
ACE_SPIPE_Connector (
    ACE_SPIPE_Stream &new_io,
    const ACE_SPIPE_Addr &remote_sap,
    ACE_Time_Value *timeout = 0,
    const ACE_Addr &local_sap = ACE_Addr::sap_any,
    int reuse_addr = 0,
    int flags = O_RDWR,
    int perms = 0
    );
```

Actively connect and produce a new\_stream if things go well. The remote\_sap is the address that we are trying to connect with.  The timeout is the amount of time to wait to connect. If it's 0 then we block indefinitely.  If \*timeout == {0, 0} then the connection is done using non-blocking mode.  In this case, if the connection can't be made immediately the value of -1 is returned with errno == EWOULDBLOCK.  If \*timeout  {0, 0} then this is the amount of time to wait before timing out.  If the time expires before the connection is made errno == ETIME.  The local\_sap is the value of local address to bind to.  If it's the default value of ACE\_Addr::sap\_any then the user is letting the OS do the binding.  If reuse\_addr == 1 then the local\_addr is reused, even if it hasn't been cleanedup yet. The flags and perms arguments are passed down to the open method.

```
int connect (
    ACE_SPIPE_Stream &new_io,
    const ACE_SPIPE_Addr &remote_sap,
    ACE_Time_Value *timeout = 0,
    const ACE_Addr &local_sap = ACE_Addr::sap_any,
    int reuse_addr = 0,
    int flags = O_RDWR,
    int perms = 0
    );
