DESCRIPTION
Tcl uses a two-layered channel architecture. It provides a
generic upper layer to enable C and Tcl programs to perform
input and output using the same APIs for a variety of files,
devices, sockets etc. The generic C APIs are described in
the manual entry for Tcl_OpenFileChannel.
The lower layer provides type-specific channel drivers for
each type of device supported on each platform. This manual
entry describes the C APIs used to communicate between the
generic layer and the type-specific channel drivers. It
also explains how new types of channels can be added by pro-
viding new channel drivers.
Channel drivers consist of a number of components: First,
each channel driver provides a Tcl_ChannelType structure
containing pointers to functions implementing the various
operations used by the generic layer to communicate with the
channel driver. The Tcl_ChannelType structure and the func-
tions referenced by it are described in the section
TCL_CHANNELTYPE, below.
Second, channel drivers usually provide a Tcl command to
create instances of that type of channel. For example, the
Tcl open command creates channels that use the file and com-
mand channel drivers, and the Tcl socket command creates
channels that use TCP sockets for network communication.
Third, a channel driver optionally provides a C function to
open channel instances of that type. For example,
Tcl_OpenFileChannel opens a channel that uses the file chan-
nel driver, and Tcl_OpenTcpClient opens a channel that uses
the TCP network protocol. These creation functions typi-
cally use Tcl_CreateChannel internally to open the channel.
To add a new type of channel you must implement a C API or a
Tcl command that opens a channel by invoking
Tcl_CreateChannel. When your driver calls Tcl_CreateChannel
it passes in a Tcl_ChannelType structure describing the
driver's I/O procedures. The generic layer will then invoke
the functions referenced in that structure to perform
operations on the channel.
Tcl_CreateChannel opens a new channel and associates the
supplied typePtr and instanceData with it. The channel is
opened in the mode indicated by mask. For a discussion of
channel drivers, their operations and the Tcl_ChannelType
structure, see the section TCL_CHANNELTYPE, below.
Tcl_GetChannelInstanceData returns the instance data associ-
ated with the channel in channel. This is the same as the
instanceData argument in the call to Tcl_CreateChannel that
created this channel.
Tcl_GetChannelType returns a pointer to the Tcl_ChannelType
structure used by the channel in the channel argument. This
is the same as the typePtr argument in the call to
Tcl_CreateChannel that created this channel.
Tcl_GetChannelName returns a string containing the name
associated with the channel, or NULL if the channelName
argument to Tcl_CreateChannel was NULL.
Tcl_GetChannelHandle places the OS-specific device handle |
associated with channel for the given direction in the loca- |
tion specified by handlePtr and returns TCL_OK. If the |
channel does not have a device handle for the specified |
direction, then TCL_ERROR is returned instead. Different |
channel drivers will return different types of handle. |
Refer to the manual entries for each driver to determine |
what type of handle is returned.
Tcl_GetChannelMode returns an OR-ed combination of
TCL_READABLE and TCL_WRITABLE, indicating whether the chan-
nel is open for input and output.
Tcl_GetChannelBufferSize returns the size, in bytes, of
buffers allocated to store input or output in chan. If the
value was not set by a previous call to
Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize, described below, then the default
value of 4096 is returned.
Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize sets the size, in bytes, of buffers
that will be allocated in subsequent operations on the chan-
nel to store input or output. The size argument should be
between ten and one million, allowing buffers of ten bytes
to one million bytes. If size is outside this range,
Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize sets the buffer size to 4096.
Tcl_NotifyChannel is called by a channel driver to indicate |
to the generic layer that the events specified by mask have |
occurred on the channel. Channel drivers are responsible |
for invoking this function whenever the channel handlers |
need to be called for the channel. See WATCHPROC below for |
more details.
Tcl_BadChannelOption is called from driver specific set or |
get option procs to generate a complete error message.
TCL_CHANNELTYPE
A channel driver provides a Tcl_ChannelType structure that
contains pointers to functions that implement the various
operations on a channel; these operations are invoked as
needed by the generic layer. The Tcl_ChannelType structure
contains the following fields:
typedef struct Tcl_ChannelType { |
char *typeName; |
Tcl_DriverBlockModeProc *blockModeProc; |
Tcl_DriverCloseProc *closeProc; |
Tcl_DriverInputProc *inputProc; |
Tcl_DriverOutputProc *outputProc; |
Tcl_DriverSeekProc *seekProc; |
Tcl_DriverSetOptionProc *setOptionProc; |
Tcl_DriverGetOptionProc *getOptionProc; |
Tcl_DriverWatchProc *watchProc; |
Tcl_DriverGetHandleProc *getHandleProc; |
Tcl_DriverClose2Proc *close2Proc; |
} Tcl_ChannelType; |
The driver must provide implementations for all functions
except blockModeProc, seekProc, setOptionProc, getOp- |
tionProc, and close2Proc, which may be specified as NULL.
Other functions that can not be implemented for this type of
device should return EINVAL when invoked to indicate that
they are not implemented.
TYPENAME
The typeName field contains a null-terminated string that
identifies the type of the device implemented by this
driver, e.g. file or socket.
BLOCKMODEPROC
The blockModeProc field contains the address of a function
called by the generic layer to set blocking and nonblocking
mode on the device. BlockModeProc should match the follow-
ing prototype:
typedef int Tcl_DriverBlockModeProc(
ClientData instanceData,
int mode);
The instanceData is the same as the value passed to
Tcl_CreateChannel when this channel was created. The mode
argument is either TCL_MODE_BLOCKING or TCL_MODE_NONBLOCKING
to set the device into blocking or nonblocking mode. The
function should return zero if the operation was successful,
or a nonzero POSIX error code if the operation failed.
If the operation is successful, the function can modify the
supplied instanceData to record that the channel entered
blocking or nonblocking mode and to implement the blocking
or nonblocking behavior. For some device types, the block-
ing and nonblocking behavior can be implemented by the
underlying operating system; for other device types, the
behavior must be emulated in the channel driver.
CLOSEPROC AND CLOSE2PROC
The closeProc field contains the address of a function
called by the generic layer to clean up driver-related
information when the channel is closed. CloseProc must match
the following prototype:
typedef int Tcl_DriverCloseProc(
ClientData instanceData,
Tcl_Interp *interp);
The instanceData argument is the same as the value provided
to Tcl_CreateChannel when the channel was created. The func-
tion should release any storage maintained by the channel
driver for this channel, and close the input and output dev-
ices encapsulated by this channel. All queued output will
have been flushed to the device before this function is
called, and no further driver operations will be invoked on
this instance after calling the closeProc. If the close
operation is successful, the procedure should return zero;
otherwise it should return a nonzero POSIX error code. In
addition, if an error occurs and interp is not NULL, the
procedure should store an error message in the interpreter's
result.
Alternatively, channels that support closing the read and |
write sides independently may set closeProc to |
TCL_CLOSE2PROC and set close2Proc to the address of a func- |
tion that matches the following prototype: |
typedef int Tcl_DriverClose2Proc( |
ClientData instanceData, |
Tcl_Interp *interp, |
int flags); |
The close2Proc will be called with flags set to an OR'ed |
combination of TCL_CLOSE_READ or TCL_CLOSE_WRITE to indicate |
that the driver should close the read and/or write side of |
the channel. The channel driver may be invoked to perform |
additional operations on the channel after close2Proc is |
called to close one or both sides of the channel. If flags |
is 0 (zero), the driver should close the channel in the |
manner described above for closeProc. No further operations |
will be invoked on this instance after close2Proc is called |
with all flags cleared. In all cases, the close2Proc func- |
tion should return zero if the close operation was success- |
ful; otherwise it should return a nonzero POSIX error code. |
In addition, if an error occurs and interp is not NULL, the |
procedure should store an error message in the interpreter's |
result.
INPUTPROC
The inputProc field contains the address of a function
called by the generic layer to read data from the file or
device and store it in an internal buffer. InputProc must
match the following prototype:
typedef int Tcl_DriverInputProc(
ClientData instanceData,
char *buf,
int bufSize,
int *errorCodePtr);
InstanceData is the same as the value passed to
Tcl_CreateChannel when the channel was created. The buf
argument points to an array of bytes in which to store input
from the device, and the bufSize argument indicates how many
bytes are available at buf.
The errorCodePtr argument points to an integer variable pro-
vided by the generic layer. If an error occurs, the function
should set the variable to a POSIX error code that identi-
fies the error that occurred.
The function should read data from the input device encapsu-
lated by the channel and store it at buf. On success, the
function should return a nonnegative integer indicating how
many bytes were read from the input device and stored at
buf. On error, the function should return -1. If an error
occurs after some data has been read from the device, that
data is lost.
If inputProc can determine that the input device has some
data available but less than requested by the bufSize argu-
ment, the function should only attempt to read as much data
as is available and return without blocking. If the input
device has no data available whatsoever and the channel is
in nonblocking mode, the function should return an EAGAIN
error. If the input device has no data available whatsoever
and the channel is in blocking mode, the function should
block for the shortest possible time until at least one byte
of data can be read from the device; then, it should return
as much data as it can read without blocking.
OUTPUTPROC
The outputProc field contains the address of a function
called by the generic layer to transfer data from an inter-
nal buffer to the output device. OutputProc must match the
following prototype:
typedef int Tcl_DriverOutputProc(
ClientData instanceData,
char *buf,
int toWrite,
int *errorCodePtr);
InstanceData is the same as the value passed to
Tcl_CreateChannel when the channel was created. The buf
argument contains an array of bytes to be written to the
device, and the toWrite argument indicates how many bytes
are to be written from the buf argument.
The errorCodePtr argument points to an integer variable pro-
vided by the generic layer. If an error occurs, the function
should set this variable to a POSIX error code that identi-
fies the error.
The function should write the data at buf to the output dev-
ice encapsulated by the channel. On success, the function
should return a nonnegative integer indicating how many
bytes were written to the output device. The return value
is normally the same as toWrite, but may be less in some
cases such as if the output operation is interrupted by a
signal. If an error occurs the function should return -1.
In case of error, some data may have been written to the
device.
If the channel is nonblocking and the output device is
unable to absorb any data whatsoever, the function should
return -1 with an EAGAIN error without writing any data.
SEEKPROC
The seekProc field contains the address of a function called
by the generic layer to move the access point at which sub-
sequent input or output operations will be applied. SeekProc
must match the following prototype:
typedef int Tcl_DriverSeekProc(
ClientData instanceData,
long offset,
int seekMode,
int *errorCodePtr);
The instanceData argument is the same as the value given to
Tcl_CreateChannel when this channel was created. Offset and
seekMode have the same meaning as for the Tcl_Seek procedure
(described in the manual entry for Tcl_OpenFileChannel).
The errorCodePtr argument points to an integer variable pro-
vided by the generic layer for returning errno values from
the function. The function should set this variable to a
POSIX error code if an error occurs. The function should
store an EINVAL error code if the channel type does not
implement seeking.
The return value is the new access point or -1 in case of
error. If an error occurred, the function should not move
the access point.
SETOPTIONPROC
The setOptionProc field contains the address of a function
called by the generic layer to set a channel type specific
option on a channel. setOptionProc must match the following
prototype:
typedef int Tcl_DriverSetOptionProc(
ClientData instanceData,
Tcl_Interp *interp,
char *optionName,
char *optionValue);
optionName is the name of an option to set, and optionValue
is the new value for that option, as a string. The instance-
Data is the same as the value given to Tcl_CreateChannel
when this channel was created. The function should do what-
ever channel type specific action is required to implement
the new value of the option.
Some options are handled by the generic code and this func-
tion is never called to set them, e.g. -blockmode. Other
options are specific to each channel type and the setOp-
tionProc procedure of the channel driver will get called to
implement them. The setOptionProc field can be NULL, which
indicates that this channel type supports no type specific
options.
If the option value is successfully modified to the new
value, the function returns TCL_OK. It should call |
Tcl_BadChannelOption which itself returns TCL_ERROR if the |
optionName is unrecognized. If optionValue specifies a value
for the option that is not supported or if a system call
error occurs, the function should leave an error message in
the result field of interp if interp is not NULL. The func-
tion should also call Tcl_SetErrno to store an appropriate
POSIX error code.
GETOPTIONPROC
The getOptionProc field contains the address of a function
called by the generic layer to get the value of a channel
type specific option on a channel. getOptionProc must match
the following prototype:
typedef int Tcl_DriverGetOptionProc(
ClientData instanceData,
Tcl_Interp *interp, |
char *optionName,
Tcl_DString *dsPtr);
OptionName is the name of an option supported by this type
of channel. If the option name is not NULL, the function
stores its current value, as a string, in the Tcl dynamic
string dsPtr. If optionName is NULL, the function stores in
dsPtr an alternating list of all supported options and their
current values. On success, the function returns TCL_OK. It |
should call Tcl_BadChannelOption which itself returns |
TCL_ERROR if the optionName is unrecognized. If a system |
call error occurs, the function should leave an error mes- |
sage in the result field of interp if interp is not NULL. |
The function should also call Tcl_SetErrno to store an |
appropriate POSIX error code.
Some options are handled by the generic code and this func-
tion is never called to retrieve their value, e.g. -block-
mode. Other options are specific to each channel type and
the getOptionProc procedure of the channel driver will get
called to implement them. The getOptionProc field can be
NULL, which indicates that this channel type supports no
type specific options.
WATCHPROC
The watchProc field contains the address of a function |
called by the generic layer to initialize the event notifi- |
cation mechanism to notice events of interest on this chan- |
nel. WatchProc should match the following prototype: |
typedef void Tcl_DriverWatchProc( |
ClientData instanceData, |
int mask); |
The instanceData is the same as the value passed to
Tcl_CreateChannel when this channel was created. The mask
argument is an OR-ed combination of TCL_READABLE,
TCL_WRITABLE and TCL_EXCEPTION; it indicates events the
caller is interested in noticing on this channel.
The function should initialize device type specific mechan- |
isms to notice when an event of interest is present on the |
channel. When one or more of the designated events occurs |
on the channel, the channel driver is responsible for cal- |
ling Tcl_NotifyChannel to inform the generic channel module. |
The driver should take care not to starve other channel |
drivers or sources of callbacks by invoking |
Tcl_NotifyChannel too frequently. Fairness can be insured |
by using the Tcl event queue to allow the channel event to |
be scheduled in sequence with other events. See the |
description of Tcl_QueueEvent for details on how to queue an |
event. |
GETHANDLEPROC |
The getHandleProc field contains the address of a function |
called by the generic layer to retrieve a device-specific |
handle from the channel. GetHandleProc should match the |
following prototype: |
typedef int Tcl_DriverGetHandleProc( |
ClientData instanceData, |
int direction, |
ClientData *handlePtr); |
InstanceData is the same as the value passed to |
Tcl_CreateChannel when this channel was created. The direc- |
tion argument is either TCL_READABLE to retrieve the handle |
used for input, or TCL_WRITABLE to retrieve the handle used |
for output. |
If the channel implementation has device-specific handles, |
the function should retrieve the appropriate handle associ- |
ated with the channel, according the direction argument. |
The handle should be stored in the location referred to by |
handlePtr, and TCL_OK should be returned. If the channel is |
not open for the specified direction, or if the channel |
implementation does not use device handles, the function |
should return TCL_ERROR.
TCL_BADCHANNELOPTION |
This procedure generates a "bad option" error message in an |
(optional) interpreter. It is used by channel drivers when |
a invalid Set/Get option is requested. Its purpose is to |
concatenate the generic options list to the specific ones |
and factorize the generic options error message string. |
It always return TCL_ERROR |
An error message is generated in interp's result object to |
indicate that a command was invoked with the a bad option |
The message has the form |
bad option "blah": should be one of |
<...generic options...>+<...specific options...> |
so you get for instance: |
bad option "-blah": should be one of -blocking, |
-buffering, -buffersize, -eofchar, -translation, |
-peername, or -sockname |
when called with optionList="peername sockname" |
"blah" is the optionName argument and "<specific options>" |
is a space separated list of specific option words. The |
function takes good care of inserting minus signs before |
each option, commas after, and an "or" before the last |
option.
