◆ becomeLocal()

bool yarp::os::impl::LocalCarrier::becomeLocal ( ConnectionState proto,
bool  sender 
)
virtual

Definition at line 287 of file LocalCarrier.cpp.

◆ canEscape()

bool yarp::os::impl::LocalCarrier::canEscape ( ) const
overridevirtual

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 204 of file LocalCarrier.cpp.

◆ checkHeader()

bool yarp::os::impl::LocalCarrier::checkHeader ( const 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
headera 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 219 of file LocalCarrier.cpp.

◆ create()

yarp::os::Carrier * yarp::os::impl::LocalCarrier::create ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns
a new object of the same type as this one.
