|

| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | <b>This class is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
|
|---|
| 53 | <p> The QDataSource class is an asynchronous producer of data.
|
|---|
| 54 | <p> A data source is an object which provides data from some source in an
|
|---|
| 55 | asynchronous manner. This means that at some time not determined by
|
|---|
| 56 | the data source, blocks of data will be taken from it for processing.
|
|---|
| 57 | The data source is able to limit the maximum size of such blocks which
|
|---|
| 58 | it is currently able to provide.
|
|---|
| 59 | <p> <p>See also <a href="qasyncio.html">QAsyncIO</a>, <a href="qdatasink.html">QDataSink</a>, and <a href="qdatapump.html">QDataPump</a>.

| 62 | <h3 class=fn>void <a name="enableRewind"></a>QDataSource::enableRewind ( bool on )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|---|
| 63 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 64 | If this function is called with <em>on</em> set to TRUE, and <a href="#rewindable">rewindable</a>()
|
|---|
| 65 | is TRUE, then the data source must take measures to allow the <a href="#rewind">rewind</a>()
|
|---|
| 66 | function to subsequently operate as described. If rewindable() is FALSE,
|
|---|
| 67 | the function should call <a href="#enableRewind">QDataSource::enableRewind</a>(), which aborts with
|
|---|
| 68 | a <a href="qapplication.html#qFatal">qFatal</a>() error.
|
|---|
| 69 | <p> For example, a network connection may choose to use a disk cache
|
|---|
| 70 | of input only if rewinding is enabled before the first buffer-full of
|
|---|
| 71 | data is discarded, returning FALSE in rewindable() if that first buffer
|
|---|
| 72 | is discarded.
|
|---|
| 73 |
|
|---|
| 74 | <p>Reimplemented in <a href="qiodevicesource.html#enableRewind">QIODeviceSource</a>.
|
|---|
| 75 | <h3 class=fn>void <a name="maybeReady"></a>QDataSource::maybeReady ()
|
|---|
| 76 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 77 | This should be called whenever <a href="#readyToSend">readyToSend</a>() might have become non-zero.
|
|---|
| 78 | It is merely calls <a href="qasyncio.html#ready">QAsyncIO::ready</a>() if readyToSend() is non-zero.
|
|---|
| 79 |
|
|---|
| 80 | <h3 class=fn>int <a name="readyToSend"></a>QDataSource::readyToSend ()<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
|
|---|
| 81 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 82 |
|
|---|
| 83 | <p> The data source should return a value indicating how much data it is ready
|
|---|
| 84 | to provide. This may be 0. If the data source knows it will never be
|
|---|
| 85 | able to provide any more data (until after a <a href="#rewind">rewind</a>()), it may return -1.
|
|---|
| 86 |
|
|---|
| 87 | <p>Reimplemented in <a href="qiodevicesource.html#readyToSend">QIODeviceSource</a>.
|
|---|
| 88 | <h3 class=fn>void <a name="rewind"></a>QDataSource::rewind ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|---|
| 89 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 90 | This function rewinds the data source. This may only be called if
|
|---|
| 91 | <a href="#enableRewind">enableRewind</a>(TRUE) has been previously called.
|
|---|
| 92 |
|
|---|
| 93 | <p>Reimplemented in <a href="qiodevicesource.html#rewind">QIODeviceSource</a>.
|
|---|
| 94 | <h3 class=fn>bool <a name="rewindable"></a>QDataSource::rewindable () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|---|
| 95 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 96 | This function should return TRUE if the data source can be rewound.
|
|---|
| 97 | <p> The default returns FALSE.
|
|---|
| 98 |
|
|---|
| 99 | <p>Reimplemented in <a href="qiodevicesource.html#rewindable">QIODeviceSource</a>.
|
|---|
| 100 | <h3 class=fn>void <a name="sendTo"></a>QDataSource::sendTo ( <a href="qdatasink.html">QDataSink</a> *, int count )<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
|
|---|
| 101 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 102 |
|
|---|
| 103 | <p> This function is called to extract data from the source, by sending
|
|---|
| 104 | it to the given data sink. The <em>count</em> will be no more than the amount
|
|---|
| 105 | indicated by the most recent call to <a href="#readyToSend">readyToSend</a>(). The source must
|
|---|
| 106 | use all the provided data, and the sink will be prepared to accept at
|
|---|
| 107 | least this much data.
|
|---|
| 108 |
|
|---|
| 109 | <p>Reimplemented in <a href="qiodevicesource.html#sendTo">QIODeviceSource</a>.
