Member Function Documentation

◆ canEscape()

bool MpiCarrier::canEscape ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Check if carrier can encode administrative messages, as opposed to just user data.

The word escape is used in the sense of escape character or escape sequence here.

Returns: true if carrier can encode administrative messages

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Definition at line 49 of file MpiCarrier.h.

◆ checkHeader()

bool MpiCarrier::checkHeader ( const yarp::os::Bytes & header )

overridevirtual

Given the first 8 bytes received on a connection, decide if this is the right carrier type to use for the rest of the connection.

For example the "text" carrier looks for the 8-byte sequence "CONNECT ". See the YARP protocol documentation for all the sequences in use here. In general you are free to add your own.

Parameters

header a buffer holding the first 8 bytes received on the connection

Returns: true if this is the carrier to use.

Implements yarp::os::AbstractCarrier.

Definition at line 30 of file MpiCarrier.cpp.
