Detailed Description

Takes care of all platform-dependent operations.

It offers an interface to access platform-dependent objects: sockets, date/time, file system, etc.

Member Function Documentation

createCriticalSection()

virtual shared_ptr< utility::sync::criticalSection > createCriticalSection ( )

pure virtual

Creates and initializes a critical section.

generateRandomBytes()

virtual void generateRandomBytes ( unsigned char *  buffer, const unsigned int  count  )

pure virtual

Fills a buffer with cryptographically random bytes.

Parameters

buffer	buffer to fill in with random bytes
count	number of random bytes to write in buffer

getChildProcessFactory()

virtual shared_ptr< utility::childProcessFactory > getChildProcessFactory ( )

pure virtual

Return a pointer to a factory that creates child process objects, which are used to spawn processes (run executable files).

Returns

child process factory

getCurrentLocalTime()

virtual const datetime getCurrentLocalTime ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the current date and time, in the local time zone.

Returns

current date and time

getFileSystemFactory()

virtual shared_ptr< utility::fileSystemFactory > getFileSystemFactory ( )

pure virtual

Return a pointer to a factory that creates file-system objects.

Returns

file-system factory

getHostName()

virtual const string getHostName ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the host name of the system.

Used when generating message ids.

Returns

host name

getLocalCharset()

virtual const charset getLocalCharset ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the charset used on the system.

Returns

local charset

getProcessId()

virtual unsigned int getProcessId ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the current process identifier.

Used when generating random strings (part boundaries or message ids).

Returns

current process id

getSocketFactory()

virtual shared_ptr< net::socketFactory > getSocketFactory ( )

pure virtual

Return a pointer to the default socket factory for this platform.

Returns

socket factory

getThreadId()

virtual unsigned int getThreadId ( ) const

pure virtual

Return an unique identifier for the current thread.

Used for multi-threading synchronization.

Returns

current thread id

getUnixTime()

virtual unsigned long getUnixTime ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the current UNIX time (Epoch time): the number of seconds elapsed since Jan, 1st 1970 00:00.

Returns

UNIX Epoch time
