Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Subscriber()

template<class T >
yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::Subscriber ( const std::string &  name = "")
inline

Constructor.

Parameters
nameoptional topic name to publish to.

Definition at line 35 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ ~Subscriber()

template<class T >
virtual yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::~Subscriber ( )
inlinevirtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 54 of file Subscriber.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ asPort() [1/2]

template<class T >
const Port& yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::asPort ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Get the concrete Port being used for communication, const version.

Implements yarp::os::AbstractContactable.

Definition at line 127 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ asPort() [2/2]

template<class T >
Port& yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::asPort ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Get the concrete Port being used for communication.

Implements yarp::os::AbstractContactable.

Definition at line 122 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ close()

template<class T >
void yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::close ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Stop port activity.

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractContactable.

Definition at line 87 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ disableCallback()

template<class T >
void yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::disableCallback ( )
inline

Definition at line 149 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ interrupt()

template<class T >
void yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::interrupt ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Interrupt any current reads or writes attached to the port.

This is useful prior to calling close(), if there are multiple threads operating on the port. Any reads or writes after the call to interrupt() will fail - unless resume() is called.

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractContactable.

Definition at line 93 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ onRead()

template<class T >
void yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::onRead ( T &  datum)
inlineoverridevirtual

Callback method.

Parameters
datumdata read from a port

Reimplemented from yarp::os::TypedReaderCallback< T >.

Definition at line 133 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ open() [1/2]

template<class T >
bool yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::open ( const Contact contact,
bool  registerName = true 
)
inlineoverridevirtual

Start port operation with user-chosen network parameters.

Contact information is supplied by the user rather than the name server. If the Contact information is incomplete, the name server is used to complete it (set registerName to false if you don't want name server help).

Returns
true iff the port started operation successfully and is now visible on the YARP network

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractContactable.

Definition at line 80 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ open() [2/2]

template<class T >
bool yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::open ( const std::string &  name)
inlineoverridevirtual

Start port operation, with a specific name, with automatically-chosen network parameters.

The port is registered with the given name, and allocated network resources, by communicating with the YARP name server.

Returns
true iff the port started operation successfully and is now visible on the YARP network

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractContactable.

Definition at line 73 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ read() [1/2]

template<class T >
T* yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::read ( bool  shouldWait = true)
inline

Read a message from the port.

Waits by default. May return nullptr if the port status has changed.

Parameters
shouldWaitfalse if the call should return immediately if no message is available
Returns
a message, or nullptr

Definition at line 117 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ read() [2/2]

template<class T >
bool yarp::os::AbstractContactable::read
override

Definition at line 132 of file AbstractContactable.cpp.

◆ resume()

template<class T >
void yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::resume ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Put the port back in an operative state after interrupt() has been called.

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractContactable.

Definition at line 99 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ setReader()

template<class T >
void yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::setReader ( PortReader reader)
inlineoverridevirtual

Set an external reader for port data.

Parameters
readerthe external reader to use

Reimplemented from yarp::os::AbstractContactable.

Definition at line 105 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ setStrict()

template<class T >
void yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::setStrict ( bool  strict = true)
inline

Definition at line 154 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ topic()

template<class T >
bool yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::topic ( const std::string &  name)
inline

Set topic to subscribe to.

Parameters
nametopic name
Returns
true on success

Definition at line 66 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ useCallback() [1/2]

template<class T >
void yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::useCallback ( )
inline

Definition at line 144 of file Subscriber.h.

◆ useCallback() [2/2]

template<class T >
void yarp::os::Subscriber< T >::useCallback ( TypedReaderCallback< T > &  callback)
inline
