Detailed Description

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
class redi::basic_opstream< CharT, Traits >

Class template for Output PStreams.

Writing to an open opstream writes to the standard input of the command; the command's standard output is the same as that of the process that created the pstream object, unless altered by the command itself.

◆ peof()

template<typename C , typename T >

Manipulator to close the pipe connected to the process' stdin.

When inserted into an output pstream the manipulator calls basic_pstreambuf<C,T>::peof() to close the output pipe, causing the child process to receive the end-of-file indicator on subsequent reads from its stdin stream.

Parameters
sAn output PStream class.
Returns
The stream object the manipulator was invoked on.
