for compatibility with IpcChannelError

Return: always false

function trySend🔗

cxx::expected< IpcChannelError > trySend(
    const std::string & message
) const

tries to send a message via the named pipe. if the pipe is full IpcChannelError::TIMEOUT is returned

Return: on failure an error which describes the failure

function send🔗

cxx::expected< IpcChannelError > send(
    const std::string & message
) const

sends a message via the named pipe. if the pipe is full this call is blocking until the message could be delivered

Parameters:

  • message the message which should be sent, is not allowed to be longer then MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE

Return: success when message was sent otherwise an error which describes the failure

function timedSend🔗

cxx::expected< IpcChannelError > timedSend(
    const std::string & message,
    const units::Duration & timeout
) const

sends a message via the named pipe.

Parameters:

  • timeout the timeout on how long this method should retry to send the message

Return: success when message was sent otherwise an error which describes the failure

function tryReceive🔗

cxx::expected< std::string, IpcChannelError > tryReceive() const

tries to receive a message via the named pipe. if the pipe is empty IpcChannelError::TIMEOUT is returned

Return: on success a string containing the message, otherwise an error which describes the failure

function receive🔗

cxx::expected< std::string, IpcChannelError > receive() const

receives a message via the named pipe. if the pipe is empty this call is blocking until a message was received

Return: on success a string containing the message, otherwise an error which describes the failure

function timedReceive🔗

cxx::expected< std::string, IpcChannelError > timedReceive(
    const units::Duration & timeout
) const

receives a message via the named pipe.

Parameters:

Return: on success a string containing the message, otherwise an error which describes the failure

function unlinkIfExists🔗

static cxx::expected< bool, IpcChannelError > unlinkIfExists(
    const IpcChannelName_t & name
)

removes a named pipe artifact from the system

Return: true if the artifact was removed, false when no artifact was found and IpcChannelError::INTERNAL_LOGIC_ERROR when shm_unlink failed
