<hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
Convenience class for I/O operations on file descriptors. 
<p>
This class provides convenience methods for:<ul>
<li>sending and receiving raw data over a file descriptor.</li><li>sending and receiving messages over a file descriptor.</li><li>file descriptor passing over a Unix socket.</li><li>data size limit enforcement and time constraint enforcement. All of these methods use exceptions for error reporting.</li></ul>
<p>
There are two kinds of messages:<ul>
<li>Array messages. These are just a list of strings, and the message itself has a specific length. The contained strings may not contain NUL characters (<code>'\0'</code>). Note that an array message must have at least one element.</li><li>Scalar messages. These are byte strings which may contain arbitrary binary data. Scalar messages also have a specific length. The protocol is designed to be low overhead, easy to implement and easy to parse.</li></ul>
<p>
<a class="el" href="classPassenger_1_1MessageChannel.html" title="Convenience class for I/O operations on file descriptors.">MessageChannel</a> is to be wrapped around a file descriptor. For example: <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">    <span class="keywordtype">int</span> p[2];
    pipe(p);
    <a class="code" href="classPassenger_1_1MessageChannel.html#73e7c9a8e421d29558838176aff02ca4" title="Construct a new MessageChannel with no underlying file descriptor.">MessageChannel</a> channel1(p[0]);
    <a class="code" href="classPassenger_1_1MessageChannel.html#73e7c9a8e421d29558838176aff02ca4" title="Construct a new MessageChannel with no underlying file descriptor.">MessageChannel</a> channel2(p[1]);
    
    <span class="comment">// Send an array message.</span>
    channel2.write(<span class="stringliteral">"hello"</span>, <span class="stringliteral">"world !!"</span>, NULL);
    list&lt;string&gt; args;
    channel1.read(args);    <span class="comment">// args now contains { "hello", "world !!" }</span>

    <span class="comment">// Send a scalar message.</span>
    channel2.writeScalar(<span class="stringliteral">"some long string which can contain arbitrary binary data"</span>);
    <span class="keywordtype">string</span> str;
    channel1.readScalar(str);
</pre></div><p>
The life time of a <a class="el" href="classPassenger_1_1MessageChannel.html" title="Convenience class for I/O operations on file descriptors.">MessageChannel</a> is independent from that of the wrapped file descriptor. If a <a class="el" href="classPassenger_1_1MessageChannel.html" title="Convenience class for I/O operations on file descriptors.">MessageChannel</a> object is destroyed, the file descriptor is not automatically closed. Call <a class="el" href="classPassenger_1_1MessageChannel.html#06309e208fc5e10642a2e9bbe0f351eb" title="Close the underlying file descriptor.">close()</a> if you want to close the file descriptor.<p>
<dl class="note" compact><dt><b>Note:</b></dt><dd>I/O operations are not buffered. <p>
Be careful with mixing the sending/receiving of array messages, scalar messages and file descriptors. If you send a collection of any of these in a specific order, then the receiving side must receive them in the exact some order. So suppose you first send a message, then a file descriptor, then a scalar, then the receiving side must first receive a message, then a file descriptor, then a scalar. If the receiving side does things in the wrong order then bad things will happen. <p>
<a class="el" href="classPassenger_1_1MessageChannel.html" title="Convenience class for I/O operations on file descriptors.">MessageChannel</a> is not thread-safe, but is reentrant. <p>
Some methods throw <a class="el" href="classPassenger_1_1SecurityException.html" title="Represents some kind of security error.">SecurityException</a> and <a class="el" href="classPassenger_1_1TimeoutException.html" title="An exception indicating that some timeout expired.">TimeoutException</a>. When these exceptions are thrown, the channel will be left in an inconsistent state because only parts of the data have been read. You should close the channel after having caught these exceptions. </dd></dl>
