Detailed Description

Interface to the POSIX FIFO/Pipe File System.

Function Documentation

fifo_open()

int fifo_open ( pipe_control_t ** pipep, rtems_libio_t * iop )

extern

File system open. Interface to file system open.

*pipep points to pipe control structure. If called with *pipep = NULL, fifo_open will try allocating and initializing a control structure. If the call succeeds, *pipep will be set to address of new control structure.

pipe_ioctl()

int pipe_ioctl ( pipe_control_t * pipe, ioctl_command_t cmd, void * buffer, rtems_libio_t * iop )

extern

File system Input/Output control.

Interface to file system ioctl.

pipe_read()

ssize_t pipe_read ( pipe_control_t * pipe, void * buffer, size_t count, rtems_libio_t * iop )

extern

File system read.

Interface to file system read.

pipe_release()

void pipe_release ( pipe_control_t ** pipep, rtems_libio_t * iop )

extern

Release a pipe.

Interface to file system close.

*pipep points to pipe control structure. When the last user releases pipe, it will be set to NULL.

pipe_write()

ssize_t pipe_write ( pipe_control_t * pipe, const void * buffer, size_t count, rtems_libio_t * iop )

extern

File system write.

Interface to file system write.
