posix::basic_descriptor

Provides POSIX descriptor functionality.

template<
    typename DescriptorService>
class basic_descriptor :
  public basic_io_object< DescriptorService >,
  public posix::descriptor_base

Name	Description
bytes_readable	IO control command to get the amount of data that can be read without blocking.
executor_type	The type of the executor associated with the object.
implementation_type	The underlying implementation type of I/O object.
lowest_layer_type	A basic_descriptor is always the lowest layer.
native_handle_type	The native representation of a descriptor.
service_type	The type of the service that will be used to provide I/O operations.
wait_type	Wait types.

Name	Description
assign	Assign an existing native descriptor to the descriptor.
async_wait	Asynchronously wait for the descriptor to become ready to read, ready to write, or to have pending error conditions.
basic_descriptor	Construct a basic_descriptor without opening it. Construct a basic_descriptor on an existing native descriptor. Move-construct a basic_descriptor from another.
cancel	Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the descriptor.
close	Close the descriptor.
get_executor	Get the executor associated with the object.
get_io_service	(Deprecated: Use get_executor().) Get the io_service associated with the object.
io_control	Perform an IO control command on the descriptor.
is_open	Determine whether the descriptor is open.
lowest_layer	Get a reference to the lowest layer. Get a const reference to the lowest layer.
native_handle	Get the native descriptor representation.
native_non_blocking	Gets the non-blocking mode of the native descriptor implementation. Sets the non-blocking mode of the native descriptor implementation.
non_blocking	Gets the non-blocking mode of the descriptor. Sets the non-blocking mode of the descriptor.
operator=	Move-assign a basic_descriptor from another.
release	Release ownership of the native descriptor implementation.
wait	Wait for the descriptor to become ready to read, ready to write, or to have pending error conditions.

Name	Description
get_implementation	Get the underlying implementation of the I/O object.
get_service	Get the service associated with the I/O object.
~basic_descriptor	Protected destructor to prevent deletion through this type.

The posix::basic_descriptor class template provides the ability to wrap a POSIX descriptor.
