## Detailed Description

Base class for input/output classes.

# Synopsis

This class provide open/close logic, threaded read/write and virtual input/output functions read() and write(). You should implement pure virtual function openDevice() in your subclass.

# Open and close

PIIODevice have boolean variable indicated open status. Returns of functions openDevice() and closeDevice() change this variable.

# Threaded read

PIIODevice based on PIThread, so it`s overload run() to exec read() in background thread. If read is successful virtual function threadedRead() is executed. Default implementation of this function execute external static function set by setThreadedReadSlot() with data set by setThreadedReadData(). Extrenal static function should have format
bool func_name(void * Threaded_read_data, uchar * readed_data, int readed_size)
Threaded read starts with function startThreadedRead().

# Threaded write

PIIODevice aggregate another PIThread to perform a threaded write by function writeThreaded(). This function add task to internal queue and return queue entry ID. You should start write thread by function startThreadedWrite. On successful write event threadedWriteEvent is raised with two arguments - task ID and written bytes count.

# Internal buffer

PIIODevice have internal buffer for threaded read, and threadedRead() function receive pointer to this buffer in first argument. You can adjust size of this buffer by function setThreadedReadBufferSize()
Default size of this buffer is 4096 bytes.

# Reopen

When threaded read is begin its call open() if device is closed. While threaded read running PIIODevice check if device opened every read and if not call open() every reopen timeout if reopen enabled. Reopen timeout is set by setReopenTimeout(), reopen enable is set by setReopenEnabled().

# Configuration

This is virtual function configureDevice() which executes when configure() executes. This function takes two arguments: "e_main" and "e_parent" as void*. There are pointers to PIConfig::Entry entries of section "section" and their parent. If there is no parent "e_parent" = 0. Function configure() set three parameters of device: "reopenEnabled", "reopenTimeout" and "threadedReadBufferSize", then execute function configureDevice().
Each ancestor of PIIODevice reimlements configureDevice() function to be able to be confured from configuration file. This parameters described at section "Configurable parameters" in the class reference.
Usage example:

// file example.conf
dev.reopenEnabled = false
dev.device = /dev/ttyS0
dev.speed = 9600
// end example.conf
// code
PISerial ser;
ser.configure("example.conf", "dev");

Implementation example:

class SomeIO: public PIIODevice {
...
bool configureDevice(const void * e_main, const void * e_parent) {
PIConfig::Entry * em = (PIConfig::Entry * )e_main;
PIConfig::Entry * ep = (PIConfig::Entry * )e_parent;
setStringParam(readDeviceSetting<PIString>("stringParam", stringParam(), em, ep));
setIntParam(readDeviceSetting<int>("intParam", intParam(), em, ep));
return true;
}
...
};

# Creating devices by unambiguous string

There are some virtual functions to describe child class without its declaration.
fullPathPrefix() should returns unique prefix of device
constructFullPath() should returns full unambiguous string, contains prefix and all device parameters
configureFromFullPath() provide configuring device from full unambiguous string without prefix and "://"
Macro PIIODEVICE should be used instead of PIOBJECT
Macro REGISTER_DEVICE should be used after definition of class, i.e. at the last line of *.cpp file
If custom I/O device corresponds there rules, it can be returned by function createFromFullPath().
Each PIP I/O device has custom unambiguous string description:

- PIFile: "file://<path>"
- PIBinaryLog: "binlog://<logDir>[:<filePrefix>][:<defaultID>]"
- PISerial: "ser://<device>:<speed(50|...|115200)>[:<dataBitsCount(6|7|8)>][:<parity(N|E|O)>][:<stopBits(1|2)>]"
- PIEthernet: UDP "eth://UDP:<readIP>:<readPort>:<sendIP>:<sendPort>[:<multicast(mcast:<ip>)>]"
- PIEthernet: TCP "eth://TCP:<IP>:<Port>"
- PIUSB: "usb://<vid>:<pid>[:<deviceNumber>][:<readEndpointNumber>][:<writeEndpointNumber>]"
  Examples:
- PIFile: "file://../text.txt"
- PIBinaryLog: "binlog://../logs/:mylog_:1"
- PISerial: "ser:///dev/ttyUSB0:9600:8:N:1", equivalent "ser:///dev/ttyUSB0:9600"
- PIEthernet: "eth://TCP:127.0.0.1:16666", "eth://UDP:192.168.0.5:16666:192.168.0.6:16667:mcast:234.0.2.1:mcast:234.0.2.2"
- PIUSB: "usb://0bb4:0c86:1:1:2"
  So, custom I/O device can be created with next call:
  // creatring devices
  PISerial * ser = (PISerial * )PIIODevice::createFromFullPath("ser://COM1:115200");
  PIEthernet * eth = (PIEthernet * )PIIODevice::createFromFullPath("eth://UDP:127.0.0.1:4001:127.0.0.1:4002");
  // examine devices
  piCout << ser << ser->properties();
  piCout << eth << eth->properties();

# Example

class SomeIO: public PIIODevice {
PIIODEVICE(SomeIO)
public:
SomeIO(): PIIODevice() {}
protected:
bool openDevice() {
// open your device here
return if_success;
}
int read(void * read_to, int max_size) {
// read from your device here
return readed_bytes;
}
int write(const void * data, int max_size) {
// write to your device here
return written_bytes;
}
PIString fullPathPrefix() const {return "myio";}
void configureFromFullPath(const PIString & full_path) {
// parse full_path and configure device there
}
};
REGISTER_DEVICE(SomeIO)

## Member Enumeration Documentation
