Member Function Documentation

◆ canEscape()

bool yarp::os::impl::NameserCarrier::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

◆ checkHeader()

bool yarp::os::impl::NameserCarrier::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.

headera buffer holding the first 8 bytes received on the connection
Returns
true if this is the carrier to use.
