Netchannels.input_descr
Creates a raw_in_channel
for the passed file descriptor, which must * be open for reading. * * The pos_in
method returns logical positions, i.e. it counts the number * of read octets. It is not tried to determine the real file position. * * The method close_in
also closes the file descriptor. * * This class also supports Win32 proxy descriptors referring to an input * channel. * *
inherit rec_in_channel
Returns the current channel position. This position can be expected * to be consistent with the returned number of bytes of input
, i.e. * when input
returns n
, the position is advanced by n
. * * As seek operations are outside the scope of Netchannels
, * implementations may or may not take seek operations into account.
