Detailed Description

An MntPump object is a special component which does not receive data from anyone.

Rather, the role of a pump is to periodically send data other objects.

The method start_pumping and stop_pumping is called to start and stop the periodic timer respectively. Periodically, pump_some() is called. Method is_running() can be used to check if the pump is working.

To use a pump, typically a subclass is created, with pump_some() overwritten to generate proper data and send push() to components downstream. pump_some() should check if the pump is running, and schedule the next pump_some() to be called before exits. Further, a Tcl instproc called "on_stop_pumping" should be defined as a callback whenever stop_pumping is called. This Tcl procedure may clean up data/files at the Tcl-level.

Member Function Documentation

virtual int MntPump::pump_some (   )  [inline, virtual]

Do nothing here. Subclass should define this method. Reimplemented in MntMPEGFileRTPizer, and MntRTPFileReader.

virtual void MntPump::start_pumping (   )  [inline, virtual]

Begin to pump. pump_some() will be called to push the first batch of data down stream.

virtual void MntPump::stop_pumping (   )  [inline, virtual]

Stop pumping. Tcl procedure "on_stop_pumping" will be called.

Member Data Documentation

MntPump::PumpTimer MntPump::pump_timer_

This inner class of MntPump is responsilble for scheduling the next call to pump_some(). Each MntPump has a instance of PumpTimer, called pump_timer_. Each pump_some() can schedule when to pump the next batch of data by calling the msched() method of Timer. Note: Timer is a class provided by the TclCL package.

int MntPump::running_ [private]

1 if the pump is running, 0 otherwise
