Detailed Description

The client proxy base class.

Base class for all proxy devices. Access to a device is provided by a device-specific proxy class. These classes all inherit from the ClientProxy class which defines an interface for device proxies. As such, a few methods are common to all devices and we explain them here.

Since the ConnectReadSignal() and DisconnectReadSignal() member functions are based on the Boost signals library, they are conditionally available depending on Boost's presence in the system. See the configure script for more information.

Member Function Documentation

bool PlayerCc::ClientProxy::IsFresh (  )  const [inline]

Fresh is set to true on each new read.

It is up to the user to set it to false if the data has already been read. This is most useful when used in conjunction with the PlayerMultiClient

Definition at line 184 of file clientproxy.h.

References GetVar(), and mFresh.

Here is the call graph for this function:

std::string PlayerCc::ClientProxy::GetDriverName (  )  const [inline]

Returns the driver name.

Todo:
GetDriverName isn't guarded by locks yet

Definition at line 191 of file clientproxy.h.

References _playerc_device_t::drivername, and mInfo.

void PlayerCc::ClientProxy::SetReplaceRule ( bool  aReplace,
int  aType = -1,
int  aSubtype = -1 
)

Set a replace rule for this proxy on the server.

If a rule with the same pattern already exists, it will be replaced with the new rule (i.e., its setting to replace will be updated).

Parameters:
aReplace Should we replace these messages
aType The type to set replace rule for (-1 for wildcard), see Message types.
aSubtype Message subtype to set replace rule for (-1 for wildcard). This is dependent on the Interface specifications.
Exceptions:
throws PlayerError if unsuccessfull

PlayerClient::SetReplaceRule, PlayerClient::SetDataMode

int PlayerCc::ClientProxy::HasCapability ( uint32_t  aType,
uint32_t  aSubtype 
)

Request capabilities of device.

Send a message asking if the device supports the given message type and subtype. If it does, the return value will be 1, and 0 otherwise.
