Detailed Description

Class ParallelBuffer is a simple I/O stream utility that intercepts output from an ostream and redirects the output as necessary for parallel I/O. This class defines a stream buffer class for an ostream class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::ParallelBuffer (   )

Create a parallel buffer class. The object will require further initialization to set up the I/O streams and prefix string.

SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::~ParallelBuffer (   )  [virtual]

The destructor simply deallocates any internal data buffers. It does not modify the output streams.

Member Function Documentation

void SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::setActive (  bool  active  )

Set whether the output stream will be active. If the parallel buffer stream is disabled, then no data is forwarded to the output streams. The internal data buffer is deallocated and pointers are reset whenever the parallel buffer is deactivated.

void SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::setPrefixString (  const string &  text  )

Set the prefix that begins every new line to the output stream. A sample prefix is "P=XXXXX: ", where XXXXX represents the node number.

void SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::setOutputStream1 (  ostream *  stream  )

Set the primary output stream. If not NULL, then output data is sent to this stream. The primary output stream is typically stderr or stdout or perhaps a log file.

void SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::setOutputStream2 (  ostream *  stream  )

Set the secondary output stream. If not NULL, then output data is sent to this stream. The secondary output stream is typically NULL or a log file that mirrors the primary output stream.

void SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::outputString (  const string &  text  )

Write a text string to the output stream. Note that the string is not actually written until an end-of-line is detected.

void SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::outputString (  const string &  text, const int  length )

Write a text string of the specified length to the output file. Note that the string is not actually written until an end-of-line is detected.

int SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::sync (   )  [virtual]

Synchronize the parallel buffer (called from streambuf).

int SAMRAI::tbox::ParallelBuffer::overflow (  int  ch  )  [virtual]

Write an overflow character into the parallel buffer (called from streambuf).
