class RBusLogicalChannel : public RHandleBase

Detailed Description

The user-side handle to a logical channel.

The class provides functions that are used to open a channel to a device driver, and to make requests. A device driver provides a derived class to give the user-side a tailored interface to the driver.

Member Function Documentation

DoCancel ( TUint )

IMPORT_C voidDoCancel(TUintaReqMask)[protected]

Cancels one or more outstanding asynchronous requests.

All outstanding requests complete with KErrCancel.

Parameters
aReqMaskA set of bits identifying the requests to be cancelled. Each bit can be used to identify a separate outstanding request. It is up to the driver to define how the bits map to those outstanding requests.

DoControl ( TInt )

IMPORT_C TIntDoControl(TIntaFunction)[protected]

Makes a synchronous request to the device driver, taking no parameters.

This function does not return until the request has completed, successfully or otherwise.

Parameters
aFunctionA number identifying the request.
Return Value
KErrNone, if successful; otherwise one of the other system-wide error codes. The value returned depends on the implementation of the device driver.

DoControl ( TInt, TAny * )

IMPORT_C TIntDoControl(TIntaFunction,
TAny *a1
)[protected]

Makes a synchronous request to the device driver, taking one parameter.

This function does not return until the request has completed, successfully or otherwise.

Parameters
aFunctionA number identifying the request.
a1A 32-bit value passed to the kernel-side. Its meaning depends on the device driver requirements.
Return Value
KErrNone, if successful; otherwise one of the other system-wide error codes. The value returned depends on the implementation of the device driver.

DoControl ( TInt, TAny *, TAny * )

IMPORT_C TIntDoControl(TIntaFunction,
TAny *a1,
TAny *a2
)[protected]

Makes a synchronous request to the device driver, taking two parameters.

This function does not return until the request has completed, successfully or otherwise.

Parameters
aFunctionA number identifying the request.
a1A 32-bit value passed to the kernel-side. Its meaning depends on the device driver requirements.
a2A 32-bit value passed to the kernel-side. Its meaning depends on the device driver requirements.
Return Value
KErrNone, if successful; otherwise one of the other system-wide error codes. The value returned depends on the implementation of the device driver.

DoCreate ( const TDesC &, const TVersion &, TInt, const TDesC *, const TDesC8 *, TOwnerType, TBool )

TInt DoCreate(const TDesC &aDevice,
const TVersion &aVer,
TIntaUnit,
const TDesC *aDriver,
const TDesC8 *anInfo,
TOwnerTypeaType = EOwnerProcess,
TBoolaProtected = EFalse
)[protected, inline]

Creates the logical channel.

Parameters
aDeviceThe name of the logical device for which the channel is to be constructed. This is the name by which the LDD factory object, i.e. the instance of the DLogicalDevice derived class, is known.
aVerThe required version of the logical device. The driver normally checks this against the version of the logical channel, returning KErrNotSupported if the logical channel is not compatible.
aUnitA unit of the device. This argument only has meaning if the flag KDeviceAllowUnit is set in the iParseMask data member of the LDD factory object.
aDriverA pointer to a descriptor containing the name of a physical device. This is the name by which the PDD factory object, i.e. the instance of the DPhysicalDevice derived class, is known. This is NULL, if no explicit name is to be supplied, or the logical device does not require an accompanying physical device.
anInfoA pointer to an explicit 8-bit descriptor containing extra information for the physical device. This argument only has meaning if the KDeviceAllowInfo flag is set in the iParseMask data member of the LDD factory object.
aTypeAn enumeration whose enumerators define the ownership of this handle. If not explicitly specified, EOwnerProcess is taken as default.
aProtectedIf false, the channel is created as an object which is local/private to the current process. If true, the channel is an object which may be shared with other processes using the IPC mechanisms for handle passing.
Return Value
KErrNone, if successful; otherwise one of the other system wide error codes.

DoRequest ( TInt, TRequestStatus & )

IMPORT_C voidDoRequest(TIntaReqNo,
TRequestStatus &aStatus
)[protected]

Queues an asynchronous request for the device driver, taking no parameters.

The request is handled on the kernel-side by the logical channel's DLogicalChannelBase::Request().

Outstanding requests can be cancelled by calling DoCancel().

Parameters
aReqNoA number identifying the request to the logical channel.
aStatusThe request status object for this request.

DoRequest ( TInt, TRequestStatus &, TAny * )

IMPORT_C voidDoRequest(TIntaReqNo,
TRequestStatus &aStatus,
TAny *a1
)[protected]

Queues an asynchronous request for the device driver, taking one parameter.

The request is handled on the kernel-side by the logical channel's DLogicalChannelBase::Request().

Outstanding requests can be cancelled by calling DoCancel().

Parameters
aReqNoA number identifying the request to the logical channel.
aStatusThe request status object for this request.
a1A 32-bit value passed to the kernel-side. Its meaning depends on the device driver requirements.

DoRequest ( TInt, TRequestStatus &, TAny *, TAny * )

IMPORT_C voidDoRequest(TIntaReqNo,
TRequestStatus &aStatus,
TAny *a1,
TAny *a2
)[protected]

Queues an asynchronous request for the device driver, taking two parameters.

The request is handled on the kernel-side by the logical channel's DLogicalChannelBase::Request().

Outstanding requests can be cancelled by calling DoCancel().

Parameters
aReqNoA number identifying the request to the logical channel.
aStatusThe request status object for this request.
a1A 32-bit value passed to the kernel-side. Its meaning depends on the device driver requirements.
a2A 32-bit value passed to the kernel-side. Its meaning depends on the device driver requirements.

Open ( RMessagePtr2, TInt, TOwnerType )

IMPORT_C TIntOpen(RMessagePtr2aMessage,
TIntaParam,
TOwnerTypeaType = EOwnerProcess
)

Opens a handle to a logical channel using a handle number sent by a client to a server.

This function is called by the server.

Parameters
aMessageThe message pointer.
aParamAn index specifying which of the four message arguments contains the handle number.
aTypeAn enumeration whose enumerators define the ownership of this logical channel handle. If not explicitly specified, EOwnerProcess is taken as default.
Return Value
KErrNone, if successful; KErrArgument, if the value of aParam is outside the range 0-3; KErrBadHandle, if not a valid handle; otherwise one of the other system-wide error codes.

Open ( TInt, TOwnerType )

IMPORT_C TIntOpen(TIntaArgumentIndex,
TOwnerTypeaType = EOwnerProcess
)

Opens a logical channel handle using a handle number passed as an environment data item to the child process during the creation of that child process.

Note that this function can only be called successfully once.

Parameters
aArgumentIndexAn index that identifies the slot in the process environment data that contains the handle number. This is a value relative to zero, i.e. 0 is the first item/slot. This can range from 0 to 15.
aTypeAn enumeration whose enumerators define the ownership of this logical channel handle. If not explicitly specified, EOwnerProcess is taken as default.
Return Value
KErrNone, if successful; KErrNotFound, if the slot indicated by aArgumentIndex is empty; KErrArgument, if the slot does not contain a logical channel handle; otherwise one of the other system-wide error codes.
