  void add_service(
      execution_context & e,
      Service * svc);


This function is used to add a service to the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`].


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[e][The [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object that owns the service.]]

[[svc][The service object. On success, ownership of the service object is transferred to the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`]. When the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object is destroyed, it will destroy the service object by performing:

[section:asio_handler_allocate asio_handler_allocate]

[indexterm1 asio_handler_allocate] 
Default allocation function for handlers. 


  void * asio_handler_allocate(
      std::size_t size,
      ... );


Asynchronous operations may need to allocate temporary objects. Since asynchronous operations have a handler function object, these temporary objects can be said to be associated with the handler.

Implement asio\_handler\_allocate and asio\_handler\_deallocate for your own handlers to provide custom allocation for these temporary objects.

The default implementation of these allocation hooks uses `operator new` and `operator delete`.


[heading Remarks]
      
All temporary objects associated with a handler will be deallocated before the upcall to the handler is performed. This allows the same memory to be reused for a subsequent asynchronous operation initiated by the handler.


[heading Example]
  


   class my_handler;

   void* asio_handler_allocate(std::size_t size, my_handler* context)
   {
     return ::operator new(size);
   }

   void asio_handler_deallocate(void* pointer, std::size_t size,
       my_handler* context)

     ::operator delete(pointer);

Default deallocation function for handlers. 


  void asio_handler_deallocate(

      std::size_t size,
      ... );


Implement asio\_handler\_allocate and asio\_handler\_deallocate for your own handlers to provide custom allocation for the associated temporary objects.

[section:asio_handler_invoke asio_handler_invoke]

[indexterm1 asio_handler_invoke] 
Default invoke function for handlers. 

      
  template<
      typename Function>
  void ``[link asio.reference.asio_handler_invoke.overload1 asio_handler_invoke]``(
      Function & function,
      ... );

  void ``[link asio.reference.asio_handler_invoke.overload2 asio_handler_invoke]``(
      const Function & function,
      ... );
  ``  [''''&raquo;''' [link asio.reference.asio_handler_invoke.overload2 more...]]``

Completion handlers for asynchronous operations are invoked by the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] associated with the corresponding object (e.g. a socket or deadline\_timer). Certain guarantees are made on when the handler may be invoked, in particular that a handler can only be invoked from a thread that is currently calling `run()` on the corresponding [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] object. Handlers may subsequently be invoked through other objects (such as [link asio.reference.io_service__strand `io_service::strand`] objects) that provide additional guarantees.

When asynchronous operations are composed from other asynchronous operations, all intermediate handlers should be invoked using the same method as the final handler. This is required to ensure that user-defined objects are not accessed in a way that may violate the guarantees. This hooking function ensures that the invoked method used for the final handler is accessible at each intermediate step.

Implement asio\_handler\_invoke for your own handlers to specify a custom invocation strategy.

This default implementation invokes the function object like so: 

   function(); 


If necessary, the default implementation makes a copy of the function object so that the non-const operator() can be used.


[heading Example]
  


   class my_handler;

   template <typename Function>
   void asio_handler_invoke(Function function, my_handler* context)
   {
     context->strand_.dispatch(function);

[section:asio_handler_is_continuation asio_handler_is_continuation]

[indexterm1 asio_handler_is_continuation] 
Default continuation function for handlers. 


  bool asio_handler_is_continuation(
      ... );


Asynchronous operations may represent a continuation of the asynchronous control flow associated with the current handler. The implementation can use this knowledge to optimise scheduling of the handler.

Implement asio\_handler\_is\_continuation for your own handlers to indicate when a handler represents a continuation.

The default implementation of the continuation hook returns `false`.


[heading Example]
  


   class my_handler;

   bool asio_handler_is_continuation(my_handler* context)

     return true;

      ComposedConnectHandler && handler);


This function attempts to connect a socket to one of a sequence of endpoints. It does this by repeated calls to the socket's `async_connect` member function, once for each endpoint in the sequence, until a connection is successfully established.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The socket to be connected. If the socket is already open, it will be closed.]]

[[begin][An iterator pointing to the start of a sequence of endpoints.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the connect operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     // Result of operation. if the sequence is empty, set to
     // asio::error::not_found. Otherwise, contains the
     // error from the last connection attempt.
     const asio::error_code& error,

     // On success, an iterator denoting the successfully
     // connected endpoint. Otherwise, the end iterator.

``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

This overload assumes that a default constructed object of type `Iterator` represents the end of the sequence. This is a valid assumption for iterator types such as `asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator`.

]


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload assumes that a default constructed object of type `Iterator` represents the end of the sequence. This is a valid assumption for iterator types such as `asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator`.


[heading Example]
  
The following connect condition function object can be used to output information about the individual connection attempts: 

   struct my_connect_condition
   {
     template <typename Iterator>
     Iterator operator()(
         const asio::error_code& ec,
         Iterator next)
     {
       if (ec) std::cout << "Error: " << ec.message() << std::endl;
       std::cout << "Trying: " << next->endpoint() << std::endl;
       return next;
     }
   }; 


It would be used with the `asio::connect` function as follows: 

   tcp::resolver r(io_service);
   tcp::resolver::query q("host", "service");
   tcp::socket s(io_service);

   // ...

   r.async_resolve(q, resolve_handler);

   // ...

   void resolve_handler(
       const asio::error_code& ec,
       tcp::resolver::iterator i)
   {
     if (!ec)
     {
       asio::async_connect(s, i,
           my_connect_condition(),
           connect_handler);
     }
   }

   // ...

   void connect_handler(
       const asio::error_code& ec,

   {
     if (ec)
     {

[section:overload4 async_connect (4 of 4 overloads)]


Asynchronously establishes a socket connection by trying each endpoint in a sequence. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.Protocol Protocol]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SocketService SocketService]``,
      typename Iterator,

      Iterator begin,
      Iterator end,
      ConnectCondition connect_condition,
      ComposedConnectHandler && handler);


This function attempts to connect a socket to one of a sequence of endpoints. It does this by repeated calls to the socket's `async_connect` member function, once for each endpoint in the sequence, until a connection is successfully established.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The socket to be connected. If the socket is already open, it will be closed.]]

[[begin][An iterator pointing to the start of a sequence of endpoints.]]

[[end][An iterator pointing to the end of a sequence of endpoints.]]

[[connect_condition][A function object that is called prior to each connection attempt. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
   Iterator connect_condition(
       const asio::error_code& ec,
       Iterator next); 
``
The `ec` parameter contains the result from the most recent connect operation. Before the first connection attempt, `ec` is always set to indicate success. The `next` parameter is an iterator pointing to the next endpoint to be tried. The function object should return the next iterator, but is permitted to return a different iterator so that endpoints may be skipped. The implementation guarantees that the function object will never be called with the end iterator.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the connect operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     // Result of operation. if the sequence is empty, set to
     // asio::error::not_found. Otherwise, contains the
     // error from the last connection attempt.
     const asio::error_code& error,

     // On success, an iterator denoting the successfully
     // connected endpoint. Otherwise, the end iterator.
     Iterator iterator
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

Start an asynchronous operation to read a certain amount of data from a stream.

      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      ReadHandler && handler,
      typename enable_if< is_mutable_buffer_sequence< MutableBufferSequence >::value >::type *  = 0);


This function is used to asynchronously read a certain number of bytes of data from a stream. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* The supplied buffers are full. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_read\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async\_read, the stream's async\_read\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to read from the stream. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.

     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes copied into the
                                             // buffers. If an error occurred,
                                             // this will be the  number of
                                             // bytes successfully transferred
                                             // prior to the error.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   asio::async_read(s, asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

      AsyncReadStream & s,
      basic_streambuf< Allocator > & b,
      CompletionCondition completion_condition,
      ReadHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously read a certain number of bytes of data from a stream. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* The supplied buffer is full (that is, it has reached maximum size).


* The completion\_condition function object returns 0.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_read\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async\_read, the stream's async\_read\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncReadStream concept.]]

[[b][A [link asio.reference.basic_streambuf `basic_streambuf`] object into which the data will be read. Ownership of the streambuf is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it remains valid until the handler is called.]]

[[completion_condition][The function object to be called to determine whether the read operation is complete. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
   std::size_t completion_condition(
     // Result of latest async_read_some operation.
     const asio::error_code& error,

     // Number of bytes transferred so far.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred
   ); 
``
A return value of 0 indicates that the read operation is complete. A non-zero return value indicates the maximum number of bytes to be read on the next call to the stream's async\_read\_some function.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.

     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes copied into the
                                             // buffers. If an error occurred,

This function is used to asynchronously read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until the dynamic buffer sequence's get area contains the specified delimiter. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* The get area of the dynamic buffer sequence contains the specified delimiter.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_read\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. If the dynamic buffer sequence's get area already contains the delimiter, this asynchronous operation completes immediately. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async\_read, async\_read\_until, the stream's async\_read\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[delim][The delimiter character.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     // Result of operation.
     const asio::error_code& error,

     // The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's
     // get area up to and including the delimiter.
     // 0 if an error occurred.

[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful async\_read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent async\_read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Example]
  
To asynchronously read data into a `std::string` until a newline is encountered: 

   std::string data;
   ...
   void handler(const asio::error_code& e, std::size_t size)
   {
     if (!e)
     {
       std::string line = data.substr(0, n);
       data.erase(0, n);
       ...
     }
   }
   ...
   asio::async_read_until(s, data, '\n', handler); 


After the `async_read_until` operation completes successfully, the buffer `data` contains the delimiter: 

   { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 


The call to `substr` then extracts the data up to and including the delimiter, so that the string `line` contains: 

   { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n' } 


After the call to `erase`, the remaining data is left in the buffer `data` as follows: 

   { 'd', 'e', ... } 


This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent `async_read_until` operation.

This function is used to asynchronously read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until the dynamic buffer sequence's get area contains the specified delimiter. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* The get area of the dynamic buffer sequence contains the specified delimiter.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_read\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. If the dynamic buffer sequence's get area already contains the delimiter, this asynchronous operation completes immediately. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async\_read, async\_read\_until, the stream's async\_read\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.

This function is used to asynchronously read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until a user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data contained in the dynamic buffer sequence, indicates a successful match. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* The match condition function object returns a std::pair where the second element evaluates to true.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_read\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. If the match condition function object already indicates a match, this asynchronous operation completes immediately. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async\_read, async\_read\_until, the stream's async\_read\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.

``
where `iterator` represents the type: 
``
   buffers_iterator<typename DynamicBufferSequence::const_buffers_type>
``
The iterator parameters `begin` and `end` define the range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a match. The `first` member of the return value is an iterator marking one-past-the-end of the bytes that have been consumed by the match function. This iterator is used to calculate the `begin` parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The `second` member of the return value is true if a match has been found, false otherwise.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     // Result of operation.
     const asio::error_code& error,

After a successful async\_read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent async\_read\_until operation to examine.

The default implementation of the `is_match_condition` type trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects with a `result_type` typedef. It must be specialised for other user-defined function objects.

[[match_condition][The function object to be called to determine whether a match exists. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
   pair<iterator, bool> match_condition(iterator begin, iterator end);
``
where `iterator` represents the type: 
``
   buffers_iterator<basic_streambuf<Allocator>::const_buffers_type>
``
The iterator parameters `begin` and `end` define the range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a match. The `first` member of the return value is an iterator marking one-past-the-end of the bytes that have been consumed by the match function. This iterator is used to calculate the `begin` parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The `second` member of the return value is true if a match has been found, false otherwise.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     // Result of operation.
     const asio::error_code& error,

     // The number of bytes in the streambuf's get
     // area that have been fully consumed by the
     // match function. O if an error occurred.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful async\_read\_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent async\_read\_until operation to examine.

The default implementation of the `is_match_condition` type trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects with a `result_type` typedef. It must be specialised for other user-defined function objects.


[heading Examples]
  
To asynchronously read data into a streambuf until whitespace is encountered: 

   typedef asio::buffers_iterator<
       asio::streambuf::const_buffers_type> iterator;

   std::pair<iterator, bool>
   match_whitespace(iterator begin, iterator end)
   {
     iterator i = begin;
     while (i != end)
       if (std::isspace(*i++))
         return std::make_pair(i, true);
     return std::make_pair(i, false);
   }
   ...
   void handler(const asio::error_code& e, std::size_t size);
   ...
   asio::streambuf b;
   asio::async_read_until(s, b, match_whitespace, handler);




To asynchronously read data into a streambuf until a matching character is found: 

   class match_char
   {
   public:
     explicit match_char(char c) : c_(c) {}

     template <typename Iterator>
     std::pair<Iterator, bool> operator()(
         Iterator begin, Iterator end) const
     {
       Iterator i = begin;
       while (i != end)
         if (c_ == *i++)
           return std::make_pair(i, true);
       return std::make_pair(i, false);
     }

   private:
     char c_;
   };

   namespace asio {
     template <> struct is_match_condition<match_char>
       : public boost::true_type {};
   } // namespace asio
   ...
   void handler(const asio::error_code& e, std::size_t size);
   ...
   asio::streambuf b;
   asio::async_read_until(s, b, match_char('a'), handler);

      WriteHandler && handler,
      typename enable_if< is_const_buffer_sequence< ConstBufferSequence >::value >::type *  = 0);


This function is used to asynchronously write a certain number of bytes of data to a stream. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* All of the data in the supplied buffers has been written. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async\_write\_some function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other write operations (such as async\_write, the stream's async\_write\_some function, or any other composed operations that perform writes) until this operation completes.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream to which the data is to be written. The type must support the AsyncWriteStream concept.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers containing the data to be written. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the write operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.

[section:overload1 async_write_at (1 of 4 overloads)]


Start an asynchronous operation to write all of the supplied data at the specified offset. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.AsyncRandomAccessWriteDevice AsyncRandomAccessWriteDevice]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.WriteHandler WriteHandler]``>

      AsyncRandomAccessWriteDevice & d,
      uint64_t offset,
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      WriteHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously write a certain number of bytes of data to a random access device at a specified offset. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:


* All of the data in the supplied buffers has been written. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's async\_write\_some\_at function, and is known as a ['composed operation]. The program must ensure that the device performs no ['overlapping] write operations (such as async\_write\_at, the device's async\_write\_some\_at function, or any other composed operations that perform writes) until this operation completes. Operations are overlapping if the regions defined by their offsets, and the numbers of bytes to write, intersect.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[d][The device to which the data is to be written. The type must support the AsyncRandomAccessWriteDevice concept.]]

[[offset][The offset at which the data will be written.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers containing the data to be written. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the write operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     // Result of operation.
     const asio::error_code& error,

     // Number of bytes written from the buffers. If an error
     // occurred, this will be less than the sum of the buffer sizes.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   asio::async_write_at(d, 42, asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[[peer_endpoint][The remote endpoint to which the socket will be connected. Copies will be made of the endpoint object as required.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the connection operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error // Result of operation
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

This function is used to asynchronously receive data from the datagram socket. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be received. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the receive operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.

   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The async\_receive operation can only be used with a connected socket. Use the async\_receive\_from function to receive data on an unconnected datagram socket.


[heading Example]
  
To receive into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   socket.async_receive(asio::buffer(data, size), handler);

[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_datagram_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

   template <typename Handler>
   struct sendfile_op

     tcp::socket& sock_;
     int fd_;

     // Used as the handler for the async_write_some operation.
     void operator()(asio::error_code ec, std::size_t)
     {
       // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
       if (!ec)
         if (!sock_.native_non_blocking())
           sock_.native_non_blocking(true, ec);

The [link asio.reference.basic_deadline_timer `basic_deadline_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A deadline timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use the [link asio.reference.deadline_timer `deadline_timer`] typedef.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait: 

   // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
   asio::deadline_timer timer(io_service);

   // Set an expiry time relative to now.
   timer.expires_from_now(boost::posix_time::seconds(5));

   // Wait for the timer to expire.
   timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait: 

   void handler(const asio::error_code& error)
   {
     if (!error)
     {
       // Timer expired.
     }
   }

   ...

   // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
   asio::deadline_timer timer(io_service,
       boost::posix_time::time_from_string("2005-12-07 23:59:59.000"));

   // Start an asynchronous wait.
   timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active deadline_timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



   void on_some_event()
   {
     if (my_timer.expires_from_now(seconds(5)) > 0)
     {
       // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
       my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
     }
     else
     {
       // Too late, timer has already expired!
     }
   }

   void on_timeout(const asio::error_code& e)
   {
     if (e != asio::error::operation_aborted)
     {
       // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
     }
   }





* The `asio::basic_deadline_timer::expires_from_now()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the [link asio.reference.error_code `error_code`] passed to it contains the value `asio::error::operation_aborted`.

[section:async_wait basic_deadline_timer::async_wait]

[indexterm2 async_wait..basic_deadline_timer] 
Start an asynchronous wait on the timer.

  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` async_wait(
      WaitHandler && handler);


This function may be used to initiate an asynchronous wait against the timer. It always returns immediately.

For each call to `async_wait()`, the supplied handler will be called exactly once. The handler will be called when:


* The timer has expired.


* The timer was cancelled, in which case the handler is passed the error code `asio::error::operation_aborted`.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[handler][The handler to be called when the timer expires. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error // Result of operation.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`. ]]

[section:overload1 basic_deadline_timer::expires_at (1 of 3 overloads)]


Get the timer's expiry time as an absolute time. 


  time_type expires_at() const;


This function may be used to obtain the timer's current expiry time. Whether the timer has expired or not does not affect this value. 


[endsect]



[section:overload2 basic_deadline_timer::expires_at (2 of 3 overloads)]


Set the timer's expiry time as an absolute time. 


  std::size_t expires_at(
      const time_type & expiry_time);


This function sets the expiry time. Any pending asynchronous wait operations will be cancelled. The handler for each cancelled operation will be invoked with the `asio::error::operation_aborted` error code.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[expiry_time][The expiry time to be used for the timer.]]

[heading Remarks]
      
If the timer has already expired when `expires_at()` is called, then the handlers for asynchronous wait operations will:


* have already been invoked; or


* have been queued for invocation in the near future.

These handlers can no longer be cancelled, and therefore are passed an error code that indicates the successful completion of the wait operation.

      const endpoint_type & peer_endpoint,
      ConnectHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously connect a socket to the specified remote endpoint. The function call always returns immediately.

The socket is automatically opened if it is not already open. If the connect fails, and the socket was automatically opened, the socket is not returned to the closed state.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[peer_endpoint][The remote endpoint to which the socket will be connected. Copies will be made of the endpoint object as required.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the connection operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error // Result of operation
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      ReadHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously receive data from the raw socket. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be received. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the receive operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes received.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The async\_receive operation can only be used with a connected socket. Use the async\_receive\_from function to receive data on an unconnected raw socket.


[heading Example]
  
To receive into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   socket.async_receive(asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on receiving into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[section:overload1 basic_raw_socket::async_send_to (1 of 2 overloads)]


Start an asynchronous send. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.WriteHandler WriteHandler]``>
  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` async_send_to(
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      const endpoint_type & destination,
      WriteHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously send raw data to the specified remote endpoint. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be sent to the remote endpoint. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[destination][The remote endpoint to which the data will be sent. Copies will be made of the endpoint as required.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the send operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes sent.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
To send a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   asio::ip::udp::endpoint destination(
       asio::ip::address::from_string("1.2.3.4"), 12345);
   socket.async_send_to(
       asio::buffer(data, size), destination, handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on sending multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_raw_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

   template <typename Handler>
   struct sendfile_op
   {
     tcp::socket& sock_;
     int fd_;
     Handler handler_;
     off_t offset_;

     // Function call operator meeting WriteHandler requirements.
     // Used as the handler for the async_write_some operation.
     void operator()(asio::error_code ec, std::size_t)
     {
       // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
       if (!ec)
         if (!sock_.native_non_blocking())
           sock_.native_non_blocking(true, ec);

       if (!ec)

           int n = ::sendfile(sock_.native_handle(), fd_, &offset_, 65536);
           ec = asio::error_code(n < 0 ? errno : 0,
               asio::error::get_system_category());

             sock_.async_wait(tcp::socket::wait_write, *this);
             return;
           }

           if (ec || n == 0)

       handler_(ec, total_bytes_transferred_);

  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` async_receive(
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      socket_base::message_flags & out_flags,
      ReadHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously receive data from the sequenced packet socket. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be received. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[out_flags][Once the asynchronous operation completes, contains flags associated with the received data. For example, if the `socket_base::message_end_of_record` bit is set then the received data marks the end of a record. The caller must guarantee that the referenced variable remains valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the receive operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes received.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
To receive into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   socket.async_receive(asio::buffer(data, size), out_flags, handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on receiving into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the socket. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_seq_packet_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

   template <typename Handler>
   struct sendfile_op
   {
     tcp::socket& sock_;
     int fd_;
     Handler handler_;
     off_t offset_;

     // Function call operator meeting WriteHandler requirements.
     // Used as the handler for the async_write_some operation.
     void operator()(asio::error_code ec, std::size_t)
     {
       // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
       if (!ec)
         if (!sock_.native_non_blocking())
           sock_.native_non_blocking(true, ec);

           int n = ::sendfile(sock_.native_handle(), fd_, &offset_, 65536);

   void async_sendfile(tcp::socket& sock, int fd, Handler h)

[section:async_read_some basic_serial_port::async_read_some]

[indexterm2 async_read_some..basic_serial_port] 
Start an asynchronous read. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ReadHandler ReadHandler]``>
  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` async_read_some(
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      ReadHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously read data from the serial port. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes read.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link asio.reference.async_read `async_read`]  function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   serial_port.async_read_some(asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` async_write_some(
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      WriteHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously write data to the serial port. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the serial port. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the write operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes written.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The write operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link asio.reference.async_write `async_write`]  function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   serial_port.async_write_some(asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

      typename ``[link asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t write_some(
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      asio::error_code & ec);


This function is used to write data to the serial port. The function call will block until one or more bytes of the data has been written successfully, or until an error occurs.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the serial port.]]

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes written. Returns 0 if an error occurred.


[heading Remarks]
      
The write\_some operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link asio.reference.write `write`]  function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the blocking operation completes.

The [link asio.reference.basic_signal_set `basic_signal_set`] class template provides the ability to perform an asynchronous wait for one or more signals to occur.

Most applications will use the [link asio.reference.signal_set `signal_set`] typedef.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Example]
  
Performing an asynchronous wait: 

   void handler(
       const asio::error_code& error,
       int signal_number)
   {
     if (!error)
     {
       // A signal occurred.
     }
   }

   ...

   // Construct a signal set registered for process termination.
   asio::signal_set signals(io_service, SIGINT, SIGTERM);

   // Start an asynchronous wait for one of the signals to occur.
   signals.async_wait(handler);





[heading Queueing of signal notifications]
  


If a signal is registered with a signal\_set, and the signal occurs when there are no waiting handlers, then the signal notification is queued. The next async\_wait operation on that signal\_set will dequeue the notification. If multiple notifications are queued, subsequent async\_wait operations dequeue them one at a time. Signal notifications are dequeued in order of ascending signal number.

If a signal number is removed from a signal\_set (using the `remove` or `erase` member functions) then any queued notifications for that signal are discarded.


[heading Multiple registration of signals]
  


The same signal number may be registered with different signal\_set objects. When the signal occurs, one handler is called for each signal\_set object.

Note that multiple registration only works for signals that are registered using Asio. The application must not also register a signal handler using functions such as `signal()` or `sigaction()`.


[heading Signal masking on POSIX platforms]
  


POSIX allows signals to be blocked using functions such as `sigprocmask()` and `pthread_sigmask()`. For signals to be delivered, programs must ensure that any signals registered using signal\_set objects are unblocked in at least one thread.

  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` async_wait(
      SignalHandler && handler);


This function may be used to initiate an asynchronous wait against the signal set. It always returns immediately.

For each call to `async_wait()`, the supplied handler will be called exactly once. The handler will be called when:


* One of the registered signals in the signal set occurs; or


* The signal set was cancelled, in which case the handler is passed the error code `asio::error::operation_aborted`.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[handler][The handler to be called when the signal occurs. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     int signal_number // Indicates which signal occurred.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`. ]]

[section:overload1 basic_socket::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the socket. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

   template <typename Handler>
   struct sendfile_op

     tcp::socket& sock_;
     int fd_;

[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

Implements a custom socket option that determines whether or not an accept operation is permitted to fail with `asio::error::connection_aborted`. By default the option is false.


[heading Examples]
  
Setting the option: 

   asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service); 
   ...
   asio::socket_base::enable_connection_aborted option(true);
   acceptor.set_option(option);





Getting the current option value: 

   asio::ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(io_service); 
   ...
   asio::socket_base::enable_connection_aborted option;
   acceptor.get_option(option);
   bool is_set = option.value();

[section:overload1 basic_socket_streambuf::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

   template <typename Handler>
   struct sendfile_op
   {
     tcp::socket& sock_;
     int fd_;
     Handler handler_;
     off_t offset_;

     // Function call operator meeting WriteHandler requirements.
     // Used as the handler for the async_write_some operation.
     void operator()(asio::error_code ec, std::size_t)
     {
       // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
       if (!ec)
         if (!sock_.native_non_blocking())
           sock_.native_non_blocking(true, ec);

       if (!ec)

             sock_.async_wait(tcp::socket::wait_write, *this);
             return;
           }

      const endpoint_type & peer_endpoint,
      ConnectHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously connect a socket to the specified remote endpoint. The function call always returns immediately.

The socket is automatically opened if it is not already open. If the connect fails, and the socket was automatically opened, the socket is not returned to the closed state.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[peer_endpoint][The remote endpoint to which the socket will be connected. Copies will be made of the endpoint object as required.]]

``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error // Result of operation
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

      ReadHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously read data from the stream socket. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes read.

The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link asio.reference.async_read `async_read`]  function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   socket.async_read_some(asio::buffer(data, size), handler);

[section:overload1 basic_stream_socket::cancel (1 of 2 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the socket. 


  void cancel();


This function causes all outstanding asynchronous connect, send and receive operations to finish immediately, and the handlers for cancelled operations will be passed the `asio::error::operation_aborted` error.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
Calls to `cancel()` will always fail with `asio::error::operation_not_supported` when run on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and earlier versions of Windows, unless ASIO\_ENABLE\_CANCELIO is defined. However, the CancelIo function has two issues that should be considered before enabling its use:


* It will only cancel asynchronous operations that were initiated in the current thread.


* It can appear to complete without error, but the request to cancel the unfinished operations may be silently ignored by the operating system. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the drivers that are installed.

For portable cancellation, consider using one of the following alternatives:


* Disable asio's I/O completion port backend by defining ASIO\_DISABLE\_IOCP.


* Use the `close()` function to simultaneously cancel the outstanding operations and close the socket.

When running on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and later, the CancelIoEx function is always used. This function does not have the problems described above.

[section:overload1 basic_stream_socket::native_non_blocking (1 of 3 overloads)]


['Inherited from basic_socket.]


Gets the non-blocking mode of the native socket implementation. 


  bool native_non_blocking() const;


This function is used to retrieve the non-blocking mode of the underlying native socket. This mode has no effect on the behaviour of the socket object's synchronous operations.


[heading Return Value]
      
`true` if the underlying socket is in non-blocking mode and direct system calls may fail with `asio::error::would_block` (or the equivalent system error).


[heading Remarks]
      
The current non-blocking mode is cached by the socket object. Consequently, the return value may be incorrect if the non-blocking mode was set directly on the native socket.


[heading Example]
  
This function is intended to allow the encapsulation of arbitrary non-blocking system calls as asynchronous operations, in a way that is transparent to the user of the socket object. The following example illustrates how Linux's `sendfile` system call might be encapsulated: 

   template <typename Handler>
   struct sendfile_op

     // Used as the handler for the async_write_some operation.

     {
       // Put the underlying socket into non-blocking mode.
       if (!ec)

Receive some data on the socket. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t receive(
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers);


This function is used to receive data on the stream socket. The function call will block until one or more bytes of data has been received successfully, or until an error occurs.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be received.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes received.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure. An error code of `asio::error::eof` indicates that the connection was closed by the peer.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The receive operation may not receive all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link asio.reference.read `read`]  function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To receive into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   socket.receive(asio::buffer(data, size));

      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers);


This function is used to write data to the stream socket. The function call will block until one or more bytes of the data has been written successfully, or until an error occurs.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the socket.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes written.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure. An error code of `asio::error::eof` indicates that the connection was closed by the peer.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The write\_some operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link asio.reference.write `write`]  function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   socket.write_some(asio::buffer(data, size));


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

The `basic_streambuf` class is derived from `std::streambuf` to associate the streambuf's input and output sequences with one or more character arrays. These character arrays are internal to the `basic_streambuf` object, but direct access to the array elements is provided to permit them to be used efficiently with I/O operations. Characters written to the output sequence of a `basic_streambuf` object are appended to the input sequence of the same object.

The `basic_streambuf` class's public interface is intended to permit the following implementation strategies:


* A single contiguous character array, which is reallocated as necessary to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence. This is the implementation approach currently used in Asio.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays, where each array is of the same size. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays of varying sizes. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.

The constructor for [link asio.reference.basic_streambuf `basic_streambuf`] accepts a `size_t` argument specifying the maximum of the sum of the sizes of the input sequence and output sequence. During the lifetime of the `basic_streambuf` object, the following invariant holds: 

   size() <= max_size()


Any member function that would, if successful, cause the invariant to be violated shall throw an exception of class `std::length_error`.

The constructor for `basic_streambuf` takes an Allocator argument. A copy of this argument is used for any memory allocation performed, by the constructor and by all member functions, during the lifetime of each `basic_streambuf` object.


[heading Examples]
  
Writing directly from an streambuf to a socket: 

   asio::streambuf b;
   std::ostream os(&b);
   os << "Hello, World!\n";

   // try sending some data in input sequence
   size_t n = sock.send(b.data());

   b.consume(n); // sent data is removed from input sequence




Reading from a socket directly into a streambuf: 

   asio::streambuf b;

   // reserve 512 bytes in output sequence
   asio::streambuf::mutable_buffers_type bufs = b.prepare(512);

   size_t n = sock.receive(bufs);

   // received data is "committed" from output sequence to input sequence
   b.commit(n);

   std::istream is(&b);
   std::string s;
   is >> s;

   size() <= max_size()


Any member function that would, if successful, cause the invariant to be violated shall throw an exception of class `std::length_error`.

The constructor for `basic_streambuf` takes an Allocator argument. A copy of this argument is used for any memory allocation performed, by the constructor and by all member functions, during the lifetime of each `basic_streambuf` object.


[heading Examples]
  
Writing directly from an streambuf to a socket: 

   asio::streambuf b;
   std::ostream os(&b);
   os << "Hello, World!\n";

   // try sending some data in input sequence
   size_t n = sock.send(b.data());

   b.consume(n); // sent data is removed from input sequence




Reading from a socket directly into a streambuf: 

   asio::streambuf b;

   // reserve 512 bytes in output sequence
   asio::streambuf::mutable_buffers_type bufs = b.prepare(512);

   size_t n = sock.receive(bufs);

   // received data is "committed" from output sequence to input sequence
   b.commit(n);

   std::istream is(&b);
   std::string s;
   is >> s;

The [link asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use one of the [link asio.reference.steady_timer `steady_timer`], [link asio.reference.system_timer `system_timer`] or [link asio.reference.high_resolution_timer `high_resolution_timer`] typedefs.


[heading Remarks]
      
This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard library's `<chrono>` facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait (C++11): 

   // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
   asio::steady_timer timer(io_service);

   // Set an expiry time relative to now.
   timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

   // Wait for the timer to expire.
   timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11): 

   void handler(const asio::error_code& error)
   {
     if (!error)
     {
       // Timer expired.
     }
   }

   ...

   // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
   asio::steady_timer timer(io_service,
       std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));

   // Start an asynchronous wait.
   timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



   void on_some_event()
   {
     if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
     {
       // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
       my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
     }
     else
     {
       // Too late, timer has already expired!
     }
   }

   void on_timeout(const asio::error_code& e)
   {
     if (e != asio::error::operation_aborted)
     {
       // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
     }
   }





* The `asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the [link asio.reference.error_code `error_code`] passed to it contains the value `asio::error::operation_aborted`.

[indexterm2 async_wait..basic_waitable_timer] 
Start an asynchronous wait on the timer.

  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` async_wait(
      WaitHandler && handler);


This function may be used to initiate an asynchronous wait against the timer. It always returns immediately.

For each call to `async_wait()`, the supplied handler will be called exactly once. The handler will be called when:


* The timer has expired.


* The timer was cancelled, in which case the handler is passed the error code `asio::error::operation_aborted`.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[handler][The handler to be called when the timer expires. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error // Result of operation.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`. ]]

Set the timer's expiry time as an absolute time. 


  std::size_t expires_at(
      const time_point & expiry_time);


This function sets the expiry time. Any pending asynchronous wait operations will be cancelled. The handler for each cancelled operation will be invoked with the `asio::error::operation_aborted` error code.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[expiry_time][The expiry time to be used for the timer.]]

[heading Remarks]
      
If the timer has already expired when `expires_at()` is called, then the handlers for asynchronous wait operations will:


* have already been invoked; or


* have been queued for invocation in the near future.

These handlers can no longer be cancelled, and therefore are passed an error code that indicates the successful completion of the wait operation.

  [
    [[link asio.reference.basic_yield_context.operator_lb__rb_ [*operator\[\]]]]
    [Return a yield context that sets the specified error_code. ]
  ]
  
]

The [link asio.reference.basic_yield_context `basic_yield_context`] class is used to represent the currently executing stackful coroutine. A [link asio.reference.basic_yield_context `basic_yield_context`] may be passed as a handler to an asynchronous operation. For example:



   template <typename Handler>
   void my_coroutine(basic_yield_context<Handler> yield)
   {
     ...
     std::size_t n = my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, yield);
     ...
   } 




The initiating function (async\_read\_some in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.

Return a yield context that sets the specified [link asio.reference.error_code `error_code`]. 


  basic_yield_context operator[](

By default, when a yield context is used with an asynchronous operation, a non-success [link asio.reference.error_code `error_code`] is converted to [link asio.reference.system_error `system_error`] and thrown. This operator may be used to specify an [link asio.reference.error_code `error_code`] object that should instead be set with the asynchronous operation's result. For example:



   template <typename Handler>
   void my_coroutine(basic_yield_context<Handler> yield)
   {
     ...
     std::size_t n = my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, yield[ec]);

A buffer object represents a contiguous region of memory as a 2-tuple consisting of a pointer and size in bytes. A tuple of the form `{void*, size_t}` specifies a mutable (modifiable) region of memory. Similarly, a tuple of the form `{const void*, size_t}` specifies a const (non-modifiable) region of memory. These two forms correspond to the classes [link asio.reference.mutable_buffer `mutable_buffer`] and [link asio.reference.const_buffer `const_buffer`], respectively. To mirror C++'s conversion rules, a [link asio.reference.mutable_buffer `mutable_buffer`] is implicitly convertible to a [link asio.reference.const_buffer `const_buffer`], and the opposite conversion is not permitted.

The simplest use case involves reading or writing a single buffer of a specified size:



   sock.send(asio::buffer(data, size)); 




In the above example, the return value of `asio::buffer` meets the requirements of the ConstBufferSequence concept so that it may be directly passed to the socket's write function. A buffer created for modifiable memory also meets the requirements of the MutableBufferSequence concept.

An individual buffer may be created from a builtin array, std::vector, std::array or boost::array of POD elements. This helps prevent buffer overruns by automatically determining the size of the buffer:



   char d1[128];
   size_t bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d1));

   std::vector<char> d2(128);
   bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d2));

   std::array<char, 128> d3;
   bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d3));

   boost::array<char, 128> d4;
   bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d4)); 




In all three cases above, the buffers created are exactly 128 bytes long. Note that a vector is ['never] automatically resized when creating or using a buffer. The buffer size is determined using the vector's `size()` member function, and not its capacity.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the [link asio.reference.buffer_size `buffer_size`]  and [link asio.reference.buffer_cast `buffer_cast`]  functions:



   asio::mutable_buffer b1 = ...;
   std::size_t s1 = asio::buffer_size(b1);
   unsigned char* p1 = asio::buffer_cast<unsigned char*>(b1);

   asio::const_buffer b2 = ...;
   std::size_t s2 = asio::buffer_size(b2);
   const void* p2 = asio::buffer_cast<const void*>(b2); 




The `asio::buffer_cast` function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

For convenience, the [link asio.reference.buffer_size `buffer_size`]  function also works on buffer sequences (that is, types meeting the ConstBufferSequence or MutableBufferSequence type requirements). In this case, the function returns the total size of all buffers in the sequence.


[heading Buffer Copying]
  


The [link asio.reference.buffer_copy `buffer_copy`]  function may be used to copy raw bytes between individual buffers and buffer sequences.

In particular, when used with the [link asio.reference.buffer_size `buffer_size`] , the [link asio.reference.buffer_copy `buffer_copy`]  function can be used to linearise a sequence of buffers. For example:



   vector<const_buffer> buffers = ...;

   vector<unsigned char> data(asio::buffer_size(buffers));
   asio::buffer_copy(asio::buffer(data), buffers); 




Note that [link asio.reference.buffer_copy `buffer_copy`]  is implemented in terms of `memcpy`, and consequently it cannot be used to copy between overlapping memory regions.


[heading Buffer Invalidation]
  


A buffer object does not have any ownership of the memory it refers to. It is the responsibility of the application to ensure the memory region remains valid until it is no longer required for an I/O operation. When the memory is no longer available, the buffer is said to have been invalidated.

For the `asio::buffer` overloads that accept an argument of type std::vector, the buffer objects returned are invalidated by any vector operation that also invalidates all references, pointers and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence (C++ Std, 23.2.4)

For the `asio::buffer` overloads that accept an argument of type std::basic\_string, the buffer objects returned are invalidated according to the rules defined for invalidation of references, pointers and iterators referring to elements of the sequence (C++ Std, 21.3).


[heading Buffer Arithmetic]
  


Buffer objects may be manipulated using simple arithmetic in a safe way which helps prevent buffer overruns. Consider an array initialised as follows:



   boost::array<char, 6> a = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' }; 




A buffer object `b1` created using:



   b1 = asio::buffer(a); 




represents the entire array, `{ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' }`. An optional second argument to the `asio::buffer` function may be used to limit the size, in bytes, of the buffer:



   b2 = asio::buffer(a, 3); 




such that `b2` represents the data `{ 'a', 'b', 'c' }`. Even if the size argument exceeds the actual size of the array, the size of the buffer object created will be limited to the array size.

An offset may be applied to an existing buffer to create a new one:



   b3 = b1 + 2; 




where `b3` will set to represent `{ 'c', 'd', 'e' }`. If the offset exceeds the size of the existing buffer, the newly created buffer will be empty.

Both an offset and size may be specified to create a buffer that corresponds to a specific range of bytes within an existing buffer:



   b4 = asio::buffer(b1 + 1, 3); 




so that `b4` will refer to the bytes `{ 'b', 'c', 'd' }`.


[heading Buffers and Scatter-Gather I/O]
  


To read or write using multiple buffers (i.e. scatter-gather I/O), multiple buffer objects may be assigned into a container that supports the MutableBufferSequence (for read) or ConstBufferSequence (for write) concepts:



   char d1[128];
   std::vector<char> d2(128);
   boost::array<char, 128> d3;

   boost::array<mutable_buffer, 3> bufs1 = {
     asio::buffer(d1),
     asio::buffer(d2),
     asio::buffer(d3) };
   bytes_transferred = sock.receive(bufs1);

   std::vector<const_buffer> bufs2;
   bufs2.push_back(asio::buffer(d1));
   bufs2.push_back(asio::buffer(d2));
   bufs2.push_back(asio::buffer(d3));
   bytes_transferred = sock.send(bufs2);

[heading Examples:]
  


To access the memory of a non-modifiable buffer, use: 

   asio::const_buffer b1 = ...;
   const unsigned char* p1 = asio::buffer_cast<const unsigned char*>(b1);




To access the memory of a modifiable buffer, use: 

   asio::mutable_buffer b2 = ...;
   unsigned char* p2 = asio::buffer_cast<unsigned char*>(b2);




The `asio::buffer_cast` function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

The `buffer_copy` function is available in two forms:


* A 2-argument form: `buffer_copy(target, source)` 


* A 3-argument form: `buffer_copy(target, source, max_bytes_to_copy)` 

Both forms return the number of bytes actually copied. The number of bytes copied is the lesser of:


* `buffer_size(target)` 


* `buffer_size(source)` 


* `If` specified, `max_bytes_to_copy`.

This prevents buffer overflow, regardless of the buffer sizes used in the copy operation.

Note that [link asio.reference.buffer_copy `buffer_copy`]  is implemented in terms of `memcpy`, and consequently it cannot be used to copy between overlapping memory regions.

[section:overload1 connect (1 of 8 overloads)]


Establishes a socket connection by trying each endpoint in a sequence. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.Protocol Protocol]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SocketService SocketService]``,
      typename Iterator>
  Iterator connect(
      basic_socket< Protocol, SocketService > & s,
      Iterator begin);


This function attempts to connect a socket to one of a sequence of endpoints. It does this by repeated calls to the socket's `connect` member function, once for each endpoint in the sequence, until a connection is successfully established.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The socket to be connected. If the socket is already open, it will be closed.]]

[[begin][An iterator pointing to the start of a sequence of endpoints.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
On success, an iterator denoting the successfully connected endpoint. Otherwise, the end iterator.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure. If the sequence is empty, the associated `error_code` is `asio::error::not_found`. Otherwise, contains the error from the last connection attempt.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload assumes that a default constructed object of type `Iterator` represents the end of the sequence. This is a valid assumption for iterator types such as `asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator`.


[heading Example]
  


   tcp::resolver r(io_service);

   tcp::socket s(io_service);
   asio::connect(s, r.resolve(q));

Establishes a socket connection by trying each endpoint in a sequence.

      typename ``[link asio.reference.SocketService SocketService]``,
      typename Iterator,
      typename ConnectCondition>
  Iterator connect(
      basic_socket< Protocol, SocketService > & s,
      Iterator begin,
      ConnectCondition connect_condition);


This function attempts to connect a socket to one of a sequence of endpoints. It does this by repeated calls to the socket's `connect` member function, once for each endpoint in the sequence, until a connection is successfully established.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The socket to be connected. If the socket is already open, it will be closed.]]

[[begin][An iterator pointing to the start of a sequence of endpoints.]]

[[connect_condition][A function object that is called prior to each connection attempt. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
   Iterator connect_condition(
       const asio::error_code& ec,
       Iterator next); 
``
The `ec` parameter contains the result from the most recent connect operation. Before the first connection attempt, `ec` is always set to indicate success. The `next` parameter is an iterator pointing to the next endpoint to be tried. The function object should return the next iterator, but is permitted to return a different iterator so that endpoints may be skipped. The implementation guarantees that the function object will never be called with the end iterator.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
On success, an iterator denoting the successfully connected endpoint. Otherwise, the end iterator.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure. If the sequence is empty, the associated `error_code` is `asio::error::not_found`. Otherwise, contains the error from the last connection attempt.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload assumes that a default constructed object of type `Iterator` represents the end of the sequence. This is a valid assumption for iterator types such as `asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator`.


[heading Example]
  
The following connect condition function object can be used to output information about the individual connection attempts: 

   struct my_connect_condition
   {

[section:overload6 connect (6 of 8 overloads)]


Establishes a socket connection by trying each endpoint in a sequence. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.Protocol Protocol]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SocketService SocketService]``,
      typename Iterator,
      typename ConnectCondition>
  Iterator connect(
      basic_socket< Protocol, SocketService > & s,
      Iterator begin,
      ConnectCondition connect_condition,
      asio::error_code & ec);


This function attempts to connect a socket to one of a sequence of endpoints. It does this by repeated calls to the socket's `connect` member function, once for each endpoint in the sequence, until a connection is successfully established.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The socket to be connected. If the socket is already open, it will be closed.]]

[[begin][An iterator pointing to the start of a sequence of endpoints.]]

[[connect_condition][A function object that is called prior to each connection attempt. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
   Iterator connect_condition(
       const asio::error_code& ec,
       Iterator next); 
``
The `ec` parameter contains the result from the most recent connect operation. Before the first connection attempt, `ec` is always set to indicate success. The `next` parameter is an iterator pointing to the next endpoint to be tried. The function object should return the next iterator, but is permitted to return a different iterator so that endpoints may be skipped. The implementation guarantees that the function object will never be called with the end iterator.]]

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any. If the sequence is empty, set to `asio::error::not_found`. Otherwise, contains the error from the last connection attempt.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
On success, an iterator denoting the successfully connected endpoint. Otherwise, the end iterator.


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload assumes that a default constructed object of type `Iterator` represents the end of the sequence. This is a valid assumption for iterator types such as `asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator`.


[heading Example]
  
The following connect condition function object can be used to output information about the individual connection attempts: 

   struct my_connect_condition
   {
     template <typename Iterator>
     Iterator operator()(
         const asio::error_code& ec,
         Iterator next)
     {
       if (ec) std::cout << "Error: " << ec.message() << std::endl;
       std::cout << "Trying: " << next->endpoint() << std::endl;
       return next;
     }
   }; 


It would be used with the `asio::connect` function as follows: 

   tcp::resolver r(io_service);
   tcp::resolver::query q("host", "service");
   tcp::socket s(io_service);
   asio::error_code ec;
   tcp::resolver::iterator i = asio::connect(
       s, r.resolve(q), my_connect_condition(), ec);
   if (ec)
   {
     // An error occurred.
   }
   else
   {
     std::cout << "Connected to: " << i->endpoint() << std::endl;

The [link asio.reference.const_buffer `const_buffer`] class provides a safe representation of a buffer that cannot be modified. It does not own the underlying data, and so is cheap to copy or assign.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the [link asio.reference.buffer_size `buffer_size`]  and [link asio.reference.buffer_cast `buffer_cast`]  functions:



   asio::const_buffer b1 = ...;
   std::size_t s1 = asio::buffer_size(b1);
   const unsigned char* p1 = asio::buffer_cast<const unsigned char*>(b1);




The `asio::buffer_cast` function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

[section:coroutine coroutine]


Provides support for implementing stackless coroutines. 


  class coroutine


[heading Member Functions]
[table
  [[Name][Description]]

  [
    [[link asio.reference.coroutine.coroutine [*coroutine]]]
    [Constructs a coroutine in its initial state. ]
  ]
  
  [
    [[link asio.reference.coroutine.is_child [*is_child]]]

  ]
  
  [
    [[link asio.reference.coroutine.is_parent [*is_parent]]]
    [Returns true if the coroutine is the parent of a fork. ]
  ]
  
]

The `coroutine` class may be used to implement stackless coroutines. The class itself is used to store the current state of the coroutine.

Coroutines are copy-constructible and assignable, and the space overhead is a single int. They can be used as a base class:



   class session : coroutine
   {
     ...
   }; 




or as a data member:



   class session
   {
     ...
     coroutine coro_;
   }; 




or even bound in as a function argument using lambdas or `bind()`. The important thing is that as the application maintains a copy of the object for as long as the coroutine must be kept alive.


[heading Pseudo-keywords]
  


A coroutine is used in conjunction with certain "pseudo-keywords", which are implemented as macros. These macros are defined by a header file:



   #include <asio/yield.hpp>




and may conversely be undefined as follows:



   #include <asio/unyield.hpp>




[*reenter]

The `reenter` macro is used to define the body of a coroutine. It takes a single argument: a pointer or reference to a coroutine object. For example, if the base class is a coroutine object you may write:



   reenter (this)
   {
     ... coroutine body ...
   } 




and if a data member or other variable you can write:



   reenter (coro_)
   {
     ... coroutine body ...
   } 




When `reenter` is executed at runtime, control jumps to the location of the last `yield` or `fork`.

The coroutine body may also be a single statement, such as:



   reenter (this) for (;;)
   {
     ...
   } 




[*Limitation:] The `reenter` macro is implemented using a switch. This means that you must take care when using local variables within the coroutine body. The local variable is not allowed in a position where reentering the coroutine could bypass the variable definition.

[*yield ['statement]]

This form of the `yield` keyword is often used with asynchronous operations:



   yield socket_->async_read_some(buffer(*buffer_), *this); 




This divides into four logical steps:


* `yield` saves the current state of the coroutine. 

* The statement initiates the asynchronous operation. 

* The resume point is defined immediately following the statement. 

* Control is transferred to the end of the coroutine body.

When the asynchronous operation completes, the function object is invoked and `reenter` causes control to transfer to the resume point. It is important to remember to carry the coroutine state forward with the asynchronous operation. In the above snippet, the current class is a function object object with a coroutine object as base class or data member.

The statement may also be a compound statement, and this permits us to define local variables with limited scope:



   yield
   {
     mutable_buffers_1 b = buffer(*buffer_);
     socket_->async_read_some(b, *this);
   } 




[*yield return ['expression] ;]

This form of `yield` is often used in generators or coroutine-based parsers. For example, the function object:



   struct interleave : coroutine
   {
     istream& is1;
     istream& is2;
     char operator()(char c)
     {
       reenter (this) for (;;)
       {
         yield return is1.get();
         yield return is2.get();
       }
     }
   }; 




defines a trivial coroutine that interleaves the characters from two input streams.

This type of `yield` divides into three logical steps:


* `yield` saves the current state of the coroutine. 

* The resume point is defined immediately following the semicolon. 

* The value of the expression is returned from the function.

[*yield ;]

This form of `yield` is equivalent to the following steps:


* `yield` saves the current state of the coroutine. 

* The resume point is defined immediately following the semicolon. 

* Control is transferred to the end of the coroutine body.

This form might be applied when coroutines are used for cooperative threading and scheduling is explicitly managed. For example:



   struct task : coroutine
   {
     ...
     void operator()()
     {
       reenter (this)
       {
         while (... not finished ...)
         {
           ... do something ...
           yield;
           ... do some more ...
           yield;
         }
       }
     }
     ...
   };
   ...
   task t1, t2;
   for (;;)
   {
     t1();
     t2();
   } 




[*yield break ;]

The final form of `yield` is used to explicitly terminate the coroutine. This form is comprised of two steps:


* `yield` sets the coroutine state to indicate termination. 

* Control is transferred to the end of the coroutine body.

Once terminated, calls to `is_complete()` return true and the coroutine cannot be reentered.

Note that a coroutine may also be implicitly terminated if the coroutine body is exited without a yield, e.g. by return, throw or by running to the end of the body.

[*fork ['statement]]

The `fork` pseudo-keyword is used when "forking" a coroutine, i.e. splitting it into two (or more) copies. One use of `fork` is in a server, where a new coroutine is created to handle each client connection:



   reenter (this)
   {
     do

The logical steps involved in a `fork` are:


* `fork` saves the current state of the coroutine. 

* The statement creates a copy of the coroutine and either executes it immediately or schedules it for later execution. 

* The resume point is defined immediately following the semicolon. 

* For the "parent", control immediately continues from the next line.

The functions `is_parent()` and `is_child()` can be used to differentiate between parent and child. You would use these functions to alter subsequent control flow.

Note that `fork` doesn't do the actual forking by itself. It is the application's responsibility to create a clone of the coroutine and call it. The clone can be called immediately, as above, or scheduled for delayed execution using something like `io_service::post()`.


[heading Alternate macro names]
  


If preferred, an application can use macro names that follow a more typical naming convention, rather than the pseudo-keywords. These are:


* `ASIO_CORO_REENTER` instead of `reenter` 

* `ASIO_CORO_YIELD` instead of `yield` 

* `ASIO_CORO_FORK` instead of `fork`

The [link asio.reference.basic_deadline_timer `basic_deadline_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A deadline timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use the [link asio.reference.deadline_timer `deadline_timer`] typedef.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait: 

   // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
   asio::deadline_timer timer(io_service);

   // Set an expiry time relative to now.
   timer.expires_from_now(boost::posix_time::seconds(5));

   // Wait for the timer to expire.
   timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait: 

   void handler(const asio::error_code& error)
   {
     if (!error)
     {
       // Timer expired.
     }
   }

   ...

   // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
   asio::deadline_timer timer(io_service,
       boost::posix_time::time_from_string("2005-12-07 23:59:59.000"));

   // Start an asynchronous wait.
   timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active deadline_timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



   void on_some_event()
   {
     if (my_timer.expires_from_now(seconds(5)) > 0)
     {
       // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
       my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
     }
     else
     {
       // Too late, timer has already expired!
     }
   }

   void on_timeout(const asio::error_code& e)
   {
     if (e != asio::error::operation_aborted)
     {
       // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
     }
   }





* The `asio::basic_deadline_timer::expires_from_now()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the [link asio.reference.error_code `error_code`] passed to it contains the value `asio::error::operation_aborted`.

An execution context represents a place where function objects will be executed. An `io_service` is an example of an execution context.


[heading The execution_context class and services]
  


Class [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] implements an extensible, type-safe, polymorphic set of services, indexed by service type.

Services exist to manage the resources that are shared across an execution context. For example, timers may be implemented in terms of a single timer queue, and this queue would be stored in a service.

Access to the services of an [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] is via three function templates, `use_service()`, `add_service()` and `has_service()`.

In a call to `use_service<Service>()`, the type argument chooses a service, making available all members of the named type. If `Service` is not present in an [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`], an object of type `Service` is created and added to the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`]. A C++ program can check if an [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] implements a particular service with the function template `has_service<Service>()`.

Service objects may be explicitly added to an [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] using the function template `add_service<Service>()`. If the `Service` is already present, the [link asio.reference.service_already_exists `service_already_exists`] exception is thrown. If the owner of the service is not the same object as the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] parameter, the [link asio.reference.invalid_service_owner `invalid_service_owner`] exception is thrown.

Once a service reference is obtained from an [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object by calling `use_service()`, that reference remains usable as long as the owning [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object exists.

All service implementations have [link asio.reference.execution_context__service `execution_context::service`] as a public base class. Custom services may be implemented by deriving from this class and then added to an [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] using the facilities described above.


[heading The execution_context as a base class]
  


Class [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] may be used only as a base class for concrete execution context types. The `io_service` is an example of such a derived type.

On destruction, a class that is derived from [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] must perform `execution_context::shutdown_context()` followed by `execution_context::destroy_context()`.

This destruction sequence permits programs to simplify their resource management by using `shared_ptr<>`. Where an object's lifetime is tied to the lifetime of a connection (or some other sequence of asynchronous operations), a `shared_ptr` to the object would be bound into the handlers for all asynchronous operations associated with it. This works as follows:


* When a single connection ends, all associated asynchronous operations complete. The corresponding handler objects are destroyed, and all `shared_ptr` references to the objects are destroyed.


* To shut down the whole program, the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] function stop() is called to terminate any run() calls as soon as possible. The [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] destructor calls `shutdown_context()` and `destroy_context()` to destroy all pending handlers, causing all `shared_ptr` references to all connection objects to be destroyed.

[section:notify_fork execution_context::notify_fork]

[indexterm2 notify_fork..execution_context] 
Notify the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] of a fork-related event. 


  void notify_fork(
      fork_event event);


This function is used to inform the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] that the process is about to fork, or has just forked. This allows the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`], and the services it contains, to perform any necessary housekeeping to ensure correct operation following a fork.

This function must not be called while any other [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] function, or any function associated with the execution\_context's derived class, is being called in another thread. It is, however, safe to call this function from within a completion handler, provided no other thread is accessing the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] or its derived class.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[event][A fork-related event.]]

]


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure. If the notification fails the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object should no longer be used and should be destroyed.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
The following code illustrates how to incorporate the `notify_fork()` function: 

   my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_prepare);
   if (fork() == 0)
   {
     // This is the child process.
     my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_child);
   }
   else
   {
     // This is the parent process.
     my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_parent);
   } 





[heading Remarks]
      
For each service object `svc` in the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] set, performs `svc->fork_service();`. When processing the fork\_prepare event, services are visited in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime. Otherwise, services are visited in order of the beginning of service object lifetime.

The [link asio.reference.executor_arg_t `executor_arg_t`] struct is an empty structure type used as a unique type to disambiguate constructor and function overloading. Specifically, some types have constructors with [link asio.reference.executor_arg_t `executor_arg_t`] as the first argument, immediately followed by an argument of a type that satisfies the Executor type requirements.

The [link asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use one of the [link asio.reference.steady_timer `steady_timer`], [link asio.reference.system_timer `system_timer`] or [link asio.reference.high_resolution_timer `high_resolution_timer`] typedefs.


[heading Remarks]
      
This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard library's `<chrono>` facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait (C++11): 

   // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
   asio::steady_timer timer(io_service);

   // Set an expiry time relative to now.
   timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

   // Wait for the timer to expire.
   timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11): 

   void handler(const asio::error_code& error)
   {
     if (!error)
     {
       // Timer expired.
     }
   }

   ...

   // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
   asio::steady_timer timer(io_service,
       std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));

   // Start an asynchronous wait.
   timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



   void on_some_event()
   {
     if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
     {
       // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
       my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
     }
     else
     {
       // Too late, timer has already expired!
     }
   }

   void on_timeout(const asio::error_code& e)
   {
     if (e != asio::error::operation_aborted)
     {
       // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
     }
   }





* The `asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.

The [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] class provides the core I/O functionality for users of the asynchronous I/O objects, including:


* `asio::ip::tcp::socket` 

* `asio::ip::tcp::acceptor` 

* `asio::ip::udp::socket` 

* [link asio.reference.deadline_timer `deadline_timer`].

The [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] class also includes facilities intended for developers of custom asynchronous services.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Safe, with the specific exceptions of the `restart()` and `notify_fork()` functions. Calling `restart()` while there are unfinished `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` calls results in undefined behaviour. The `notify_fork()` function should not be called while any [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] function, or any function on an I/O object that is associated with the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`], is being called in another thread.



[heading Synchronous and asynchronous operations]
  


Synchronous operations on I/O objects implicitly run the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] object for an individual operation. The [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] functions `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` must be called for the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] to perform asynchronous operations on behalf of a C++ program. Notification that an asynchronous operation has completed is delivered by invocation of the associated handler. Handlers are invoked only by a thread that is currently calling any overload of `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` for the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`].


[heading Effect of exceptions thrown from handlers]
  


If an exception is thrown from a handler, the exception is allowed to propagate through the throwing thread's invocation of `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()`. No other threads that are calling any of these functions are affected. It is then the responsibility of the application to catch the exception.

After the exception has been caught, the `run()`, `run_one()`, `poll()` or `poll_one()` call may be restarted ['without] the need for an intervening call to `restart()`. This allows the thread to rejoin the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] object's thread pool without impacting any other threads in the pool.

For example:



   asio::io_service io_service;
   ...
   for (;;)
   {
     try
     {
       io_service.run();
       break; // run() exited normally
     }
     catch (my_exception& e)
     {
       // Deal with exception as appropriate.
     }
   }





[heading Stopping the io_service from running out of work]
  


Some applications may need to prevent an [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] object's `run()` call from returning when there is no more work to do. For example, the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] may be being run in a background thread that is launched prior to the application's asynchronous operations. The `run()` call may be kept running by creating an object of type [link asio.reference.io_service__work `io_service::work`]:



   asio::io_service io_service;
   asio::io_service::work work(io_service);
   ... 




To effect a shutdown, the application will then need to call the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] object's `stop()` member function. This will cause the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] `run()` call to return as soon as possible, abandoning unfinished operations and without permitting ready handlers to be dispatched.

Alternatively, if the application requires that all operations and handlers be allowed to finish normally, the work object may be explicitly destroyed.



   asio::io_service io_service;
   auto_ptr<asio::io_service::work> work(
       new asio::io_service::work(io_service));
   ...
   work.reset(); // Allow run() to exit.

[indexterm2 notify_fork..io_service] 
Notify the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] of a fork-related event. 


  void notify_fork(
      fork_event event);


This function is used to inform the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] that the process is about to fork, or has just forked. This allows the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`], and the services it contains, to perform any necessary housekeeping to ensure correct operation following a fork.

This function must not be called while any other [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] function, or any function associated with the execution\_context's derived class, is being called in another thread. It is, however, safe to call this function from within a completion handler, provided no other thread is accessing the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] or its derived class.

[heading Example]
  
The following code illustrates how to incorporate the `notify_fork()` function: 

   my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_prepare);
   if (fork() == 0)
   {
     // This is the child process.
     my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_child);
   }
   else
   {
     // This is the parent process.
     my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_parent);
   } 





[heading Remarks]
      
For each service object `svc` in the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] set, performs `svc->fork_service();`. When processing the fork\_prepare event, services are visited in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime. Otherwise, services are visited in order of the beginning of service object lifetime.

[section:overload1 io_service::run (1 of 2 overloads)]

  std::size_t run();


The `run()` function blocks until all work has finished and there are no more handlers to be dispatched, or until the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] has been stopped.

Multiple threads may call the `run()` function to set up a pool of threads from which the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] may execute handlers. All threads that are waiting in the pool are equivalent and the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] may choose any one of them to invoke a handler.

A normal exit from the `run()` function implies that the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] object is stopped (the `stopped()` function returns `true`).

]


[heading Return Value]
      
A function object that, when invoked, passes the wrapped handler to the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] object's dispatch function. Given a function object with the signature: 

   R f(A1 a1, ... An an); 


If this function object is passed to the wrap function like so: 

   io_service.wrap(f); 


then the return value is a function object with the signature

[endsect]



[section:_io_service io_service::~io_service]

[indexterm2 ~io_service..io_service] 
Destructor. 


  ~io_service();


On destruction, the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] performs the following sequence of operations:


* For each service object `svc` in the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] set, in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime, performs `svc->shutdown_service()`.


* Uninvoked handler objects that were scheduled for deferred invocation on the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`], or any associated strand, are destroyed.


* For each service object `svc` in the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] set, in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime, performs `delete static_cast<io_service::service*>(svc)`.


[heading Remarks]
      
The destruction sequence described above permits programs to simplify their resource management by using `shared_ptr<>`. Where an object's lifetime is tied to the lifetime of a connection (or some other sequence of asynchronous operations), a `shared_ptr` to the object would be bound into the handlers for all asynchronous operations associated with it. This works as follows:


* When a single connection ends, all associated asynchronous operations complete. The corresponding handler objects are destroyed, and all `shared_ptr` references to the objects are destroyed.


* To shut down the whole program, the [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] function `stop()` is called to terminate any `run()` calls as soon as possible. The [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] destructor defined above destroys all handlers, causing all `shared_ptr` references to all connection objects to be destroyed.

The [link asio.reference.io_service__strand `io_service::strand`] class provides the ability to post and dispatch handlers with the guarantee that none of those handlers will execute concurrently.


[heading Order of handler invocation]
  
Given:


* a strand object `s` 


* an object `a` meeting completion handler requirements


* an object `a1` which is an arbitrary copy of `a` made by the implementation


* an object `b` meeting completion handler requirements


* an object `b1` which is an arbitrary copy of `b` made by the implementation

if any of the following conditions are true:


* `s.post(a)` happens-before `s.post(b)` 


* `s.post(a)` happens-before `s.dispatch(b)`, where the latter is performed outside the strand


* `s.dispatch(a)` happens-before `s.post(b)`, where the former is performed outside the strand


* `s.dispatch(a)` happens-before `s.dispatch(b)`, where both are performed outside the strand

then `asio_handler_invoke(a1, &a1)` happens-before `asio_handler_invoke(b1, &b1)`.

Note that in the following case: 

   async_op_1(..., s.wrap(a));
   async_op_2(..., s.wrap(b)); 


the completion of the first async operation will perform `s.dispatch(a)`, and the second will perform `s.dispatch(b)`, but the order in which those are performed is unspecified. That is, you cannot state whether one happens-before the other. Therefore none of the above conditions are met and no ordering guarantee is made.


[heading Remarks]
      
The implementation makes no guarantee that handlers posted or dispatched through different `strand` objects will be invoked concurrently.

  void dispatch(
      Function && f,
      const Allocator & a);


This function is used to ask the strand to execute the given function object on its underlying [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`]. The function object will be executed inside this function if the strand is not otherwise busy and if the underlying io\_service's executor's `dispatch()` function is also able to execute the function before returning.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[f][The function object to be called. The executor will make a copy of the handler object as required. The function signature of the function object must be:
``
   void function();

[section:overload2 io_service::strand::dispatch (2 of 2 overloads)]


(Deprecated: Use [link asio.reference.dispatch `dispatch`].) Request the strand to invoke the given handler. 


  template<

  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` dispatch(
      CompletionHandler && handler);


This function is used to ask the strand to execute the given handler.

The strand object guarantees that handlers posted or dispatched through the strand will not be executed concurrently. The handler may be executed inside this function if the guarantee can be met. If this function is called from within a handler that was posted or dispatched through the same strand, then the new handler will be executed immediately.

The strand's guarantee is in addition to the guarantee provided by the underlying [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`]. The [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] guarantees that the handler will only be called in a thread in which the io\_service's run member function is currently being invoked.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[handler][The handler to be called. The strand will make a copy of the handler object as required. The function signature of the handler must be:

  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` post(
      CompletionHandler && handler);


This function is used to ask the strand to execute the given handler, but without allowing the strand to call the handler from inside this function.

The strand object guarantees that handlers posted or dispatched through the strand will not be executed concurrently. The strand's guarantee is in addition to the guarantee provided by the underlying [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`]. The [link asio.reference.io_service `io_service`] guarantees that the handler will only be called in a thread in which the io\_service's run member function is currently being invoked.

  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.Handler Handler]``>
  unspecified wrap(
      Handler handler);


This function is used to create a new handler function object that, when invoked, will automatically pass the wrapped handler to the strand's dispatch function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[handler][The handler to be wrapped. The strand will make a copy of the handler object as required. The function signature of the handler must be:
``

[heading Return Value]
      
A function object that, when invoked, passes the wrapped handler to the strand's dispatch function. Given a function object with the signature: 

   R f(A1 a1, ... An an); 


If this function object is passed to the wrap function like so: 

   strand.wrap(f); 


then the return value is a function object with the signature 

   void g(A1 a1, ... An an);

[section:mutable_buffer mutable_buffer]

[table

    [Create a new modifiable buffer that is offset from the start of another. ]
  ]
  
]

The [link asio.reference.mutable_buffer `mutable_buffer`] class provides a safe representation of a buffer that can be modified. It does not own the underlying data, and so is cheap to copy or assign.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the [link asio.reference.buffer_size `buffer_size`]  and [link asio.reference.buffer_cast `buffer_cast`]  functions:



   asio::mutable_buffer b1 = ...;
   std::size_t s1 = asio::buffer_size(b1);
   unsigned char* p1 = asio::buffer_cast<unsigned char*>(b1);




The `asio::buffer_cast` function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

The [link asio.reference.mutable_buffer `mutable_buffer`] class provides a safe representation of a buffer that can be modified. It does not own the underlying data, and so is cheap to copy or assign.


[heading Accessing Buffer Contents]
  


The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the [link asio.reference.buffer_size `buffer_size`]  and [link asio.reference.buffer_cast `buffer_cast`]  functions:



   asio::mutable_buffer b1 = ...;
   std::size_t s1 = asio::buffer_size(b1);
   unsigned char* p1 = asio::buffer_cast<unsigned char*>(b1);




The `asio::buffer_cast` function permits violations of type safety, so uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.

[section:async_read_some posix::basic_stream_descriptor::async_read_some]

[indexterm2 async_read_some..posix::basic_stream_descriptor] 
Start an asynchronous read. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ReadHandler ReadHandler]``>
  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` async_read_some(
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      ReadHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously read data from the stream descriptor. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes read.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link asio.reference.async_read `async_read`]  function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   descriptor.async_read_some(asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[[w][Specifies the desired descriptor state.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the wait operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``

      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      WriteHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously write data to the stream descriptor. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the descriptor. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the write operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes written.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The write operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link asio.reference.async_write `async_write`]  function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   descriptor.async_write_some(asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

  ``  [''''&raquo;''' [link asio.reference.posix__basic_stream_descriptor.write_some.overload2 more...]]``


[section:overload1 posix::basic_stream_descriptor::write_some (1 of 2 overloads)]


Write some data to the descriptor. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t write_some(
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers);


This function is used to write data to the stream descriptor. The function call will block until one or more bytes of the data has been written successfully, or until an error occurs.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the descriptor.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes written.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure. An error code of `asio::error::eof` indicates that the connection was closed by the peer.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The write\_some operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link asio.reference.write `write`]  function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   descriptor.write_some(asio::buffer(data, size));


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[section:overload1 read (1 of 12 overloads)]


Attempt to read a certain amount of data from a stream before returning. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.MutableBufferSequence MutableBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t read(
      SyncReadStream & s,
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      typename enable_if< is_mutable_buffer_sequence< MutableBufferSequence >::value >::type *  = 0);


This function is used to read a certain number of bytes of data from a stream. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The supplied buffers are full. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to read from the stream.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes transferred.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   asio::read(s, asio::buffer(data, size)); 


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload is equivalent to calling: 

   asio::read(
       s, buffers,
       asio::transfer_all());

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes transferred.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   asio::read(s, asio::buffer(data, size), ec); 


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload is equivalent to calling: 

   asio::read(
       s, buffers,
       asio::transfer_all(), ec);

      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      CompletionCondition completion_condition,
      typename enable_if< is_mutable_buffer_sequence< MutableBufferSequence >::value >::type *  = 0);


This function is used to read a certain number of bytes of data from a stream. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The supplied buffers are full. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* The completion\_condition function object returns 0.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to read from the stream.]]

     const asio::error_code& error,

     // Number of bytes transferred so far.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred
   ); 
``
A return value of 0 indicates that the read operation is complete. A non-zero return value indicates the maximum number of bytes to be read on the next call to the stream's read\_some function.]]

This function is used to read a certain number of bytes of data from a random access device at the specified offset. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The supplied buffers are full. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's read\_some\_at function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[d][The device from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncRandomAccessReadDevice concept.]]

[section:overload1 read_until (1 of 18 overloads)]


Read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until it contains a specified delimiter. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.DynamicBufferSequence DynamicBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t read_until(
      SyncReadStream & s,
      DynamicBufferSequence && buffers,
      char delim);


This function is used to read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until the dynamic buffer sequence's get area contains the specified delimiter. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The get area of the dynamic buffer sequence contains the specified delimiter.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function. If the dynamic buffer sequence's get area already contains the delimiter, the function returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read.]]

[[delim][The delimiter character.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's get area up to and including the delimiter.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Example]
  
To read data into a `std::string` until a newline is encountered: 

   std::string data;
   std::string n = asio::read_until(s,
       asio::dynamic_buffer(data), '\n');
   std::string line = data.substr(0, n);
   data.erase(0, n); 


After the `read_until` operation completes successfully, the string `data` contains the delimiter: 

   { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 


The call to `substr` then extracts the data up to and including the delimiter, so that the string `line` contains: 

   { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n' } 


After the call to `erase`, the remaining data is left in the buffer `b` as follows: 

   { 'd', 'e', ... } 


This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent `read_until` operation.

[section:overload2 read_until (2 of 18 overloads)]


Read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until it contains a specified delimiter. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,

  std::size_t read_until(
      SyncReadStream & s,
      DynamicBufferSequence && buffers,
      char delim,
      asio::error_code & ec);


This function is used to read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until the dynamic buffer sequence's get area contains the specified delimiter. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The get area of the dynamic buffer sequence contains the specified delimiter.


* An error occurred.

[[buffers][The dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read.]]

[[delim][The delimiter character.]]

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's get area up to and including the delimiter. Returns 0 if an error occurred.


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.

[section:overload3 read_until (3 of 18 overloads)]


Read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until it contains a specified delimiter. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.DynamicBufferSequence DynamicBufferSequence]``,

[[delim][The delimiter string.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's get area up to and including the delimiter.


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Example]
  
To read data into a `std::string` until a CR-LF sequence is encountered: 

   std::string data;
   std::string n = asio::read_until(s,
       asio::dynamic_buffer(data), "\r\n");
   std::string line = data.substr(0, n);
   data.erase(0, n); 


After the `read_until` operation completes successfully, the string `data` contains the delimiter: 

   { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 


The call to `substr` then extracts the data up to and including the delimiter, so that the string `line` contains: 

   { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n' } 


After the call to `erase`, the remaining data is left in the buffer `b` as follows:

[section:overload7 read_until (7 of 18 overloads)]


Read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until a function object indicates a match. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.DynamicBufferSequence DynamicBufferSequence]``,
      typename MatchCondition>
  std::size_t read_until(

      DynamicBufferSequence && buffers,
      MatchCondition match_condition,
      typename enable_if< is_match_condition< MatchCondition >::value >::type *  = 0);


This function is used to read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until a user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data contained in the dynamic buffer sequence, indicates a successful match. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The match condition function object returns a std::pair where the second element evaluates to true.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function. If the match condition function object already indicates a match, the function returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][A dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read.]]

[[match_condition][The function object to be called to determine whether a match exists. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
   pair<iterator, bool> match_condition(iterator begin, iterator end);
``
where `iterator` represents the type: 
``
   buffers_iterator<typename DynamicBufferSequence::const_buffers_type>
``
The iterator parameters `begin` and `end` define the range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a match. The `first` member of the return value is an iterator marking one-past-the-end of the bytes that have been consumed by the match function. This iterator is used to calculate the `begin` parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The `second` member of the return value is true if a match has been found, false otherwise.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the dynamic\_buffer\_sequence's get area that have been fully consumed by the match function.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.

The default implementation of the `is_match_condition` type trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects with a `result_type` typedef. It must be specialised for other user-defined function objects.


[heading Examples]
  
To read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until whitespace is encountered: 

   typedef asio::buffers_iterator<
       asio::const_buffers_1> iterator;

   std::pair<iterator, bool>
   match_whitespace(iterator begin, iterator end)
   {
     iterator i = begin;
     while (i != end)
       if (std::isspace(*i++))
         return std::make_pair(i, true);
     return std::make_pair(i, false);
   }
   ...
   std::string data;
   asio::read_until(s, data, match_whitespace);




To read data into a `std::string` until a matching character is found: 

   class match_char
   {
   public:
     explicit match_char(char c) : c_(c) {}

     template <typename Iterator>
     std::pair<Iterator, bool> operator()(
         Iterator begin, Iterator end) const
     {
       Iterator i = begin;
       while (i != end)
         if (c_ == *i++)
           return std::make_pair(i, true);
       return std::make_pair(i, false);
     }

   private:
     char c_;
   };

   namespace asio {
     template <> struct is_match_condition<match_char>

Read data into a dynamic buffer sequence until a function object indicates a match. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.DynamicBufferSequence DynamicBufferSequence]``,
      typename MatchCondition>
  std::size_t read_until(
      SyncReadStream & s,
      DynamicBufferSequence && buffers,
      MatchCondition match_condition,
      asio::error_code & ec,
      typename enable_if< is_match_condition< MatchCondition >::value >::type *  = 0);


This function is used to read data into the specified dynamic buffer sequence until a user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data contained in the dynamic buffer sequence, indicates a successful match. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The match condition function object returns a std::pair where the second element evaluates to true.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function. If the match condition function object already indicates a match, the function returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[buffers][A dynamic buffer sequence into which the data will be read.]]

[[match_condition][The function object to be called to determine whether a match exists. The signature of the function object must be: 
``
   pair<iterator, bool> match_condition(iterator begin, iterator end);
``
where `iterator` represents the type: 
``
   buffers_iterator<DynamicBufferSequence::const_buffers_type>
``
The iterator parameters `begin` and `end` define the range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a match. The `first` member of the return value is an iterator marking one-past-the-end of the bytes that have been consumed by the match function. This iterator is used to calculate the `begin` parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The `second` member of the return value is true if a match has been found, false otherwise.]]

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the dynamic buffer sequence's get area that have been fully consumed by the match function. Returns 0 if an error occurred.


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the dynamic buffer sequence may contain additional data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will typically leave that data in the dynamic buffer sequence for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.

The default implementation of the `is_match_condition` type trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects with a `result_type` typedef. It must be specialised for other user-defined function objects.

[section:overload9 read_until (9 of 18 overloads)]


Read data into a streambuf until it contains a specified delimiter. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SyncReadStream SyncReadStream]``,
      typename Allocator>
  std::size_t read_until(
      SyncReadStream & s,
      asio::basic_streambuf< Allocator > & b,
      char delim);


This function is used to read data into the specified streambuf until the streambuf's get area contains the specified delimiter. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* The get area of the streambuf contains the specified delimiter.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's read\_some function. If the streambuf's get area already contains the delimiter, the function returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the SyncReadStream concept.]]

[[b][A streambuf object into which the data will be read.]]

[[delim][The delimiter character.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes in the streambuf's get area up to and including the delimiter.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
After a successful read\_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional data beyond the delimiter. An application will typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent read\_until operation to examine.


[heading Example]
  
To read data into a streambuf until a newline is encountered: 

   asio::streambuf b;
   asio::read_until(s, b, '\n');
   std::istream is(&b);
   std::string line;
   std::getline(is, line); 


After the `read_until` operation completes successfully, the buffer `b` contains the delimiter: 

   { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... } 


The call to `std::getline` then extracts the data up to and including the delimiter, so that the string `line` contains: 

   { 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\n' } 


The remaining data is left in the buffer `b` as follows: 

   { 'd', 'e', ... } 


This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent `read_until` operation.

The [link asio.reference.basic_signal_set `basic_signal_set`] class template provides the ability to perform an asynchronous wait for one or more signals to occur.

Most applications will use the [link asio.reference.signal_set `signal_set`] typedef.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Example]
  
Performing an asynchronous wait: 

   void handler(
       const asio::error_code& error,
       int signal_number)
   {
     if (!error)
     {
       // A signal occurred.
     }
   }

   ...

   // Construct a signal set registered for process termination.
   asio::signal_set signals(io_service, SIGINT, SIGTERM);

   // Start an asynchronous wait for one of the signals to occur.
   signals.async_wait(handler);





[heading Queueing of signal notifications]
  


If a signal is registered with a signal\_set, and the signal occurs when there are no waiting handlers, then the signal notification is queued. The next async\_wait operation on that signal\_set will dequeue the notification. If multiple notifications are queued, subsequent async\_wait operations dequeue them one at a time. Signal notifications are dequeued in order of ascending signal number.

If a signal number is removed from a signal\_set (using the `remove` or `erase` member functions) then any queued notifications for that signal are discarded.


[heading Multiple registration of signals]
  


The same signal number may be registered with different signal\_set objects. When the signal occurs, one handler is called for each signal\_set object.

Note that multiple registration only works for signals that are registered using Asio. The application must not also register a signal handler using functions such as `signal()` or `sigaction()`.


[heading Signal masking on POSIX platforms]
  


POSIX allows signals to be blocked using functions such as `sigprocmask()` and `pthread_sigmask()`. For signals to be delivered, programs must ensure that any signals registered using signal\_set objects are unblocked in at least one thread.

The stream class template provides asynchronous and blocking stream-oriented functionality using SSL.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe. The application must also ensure that all asynchronous operations are performed within the same implicit or explicit strand.


[heading Example]
  
To use the SSL stream template with an `ip::tcp::socket`, you would write: 

   asio::io_service io_service;
   asio::ssl::context ctx(asio::ssl::context::sslv23);
   asio::ssl::stream<asio:ip::tcp::socket> sock(io_service, ctx);

[[buffers][The buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying buffers is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The equivalent function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.

The [link asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use one of the [link asio.reference.steady_timer `steady_timer`], [link asio.reference.system_timer `system_timer`] or [link asio.reference.high_resolution_timer `high_resolution_timer`] typedefs.


[heading Remarks]
      
This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard library's `<chrono>` facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait (C++11): 

   // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
   asio::steady_timer timer(io_service);

   // Set an expiry time relative to now.
   timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

   // Wait for the timer to expire.
   timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11): 

   void handler(const asio::error_code& error)
   {
     if (!error)
     {
       // Timer expired.
     }
   }

   ...

   // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
   asio::steady_timer timer(io_service,
       std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));

   // Start an asynchronous wait.
   timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



   void on_some_event()
   {
     if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
     {
       // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
       my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
     }
     else
     {
       // Too late, timer has already expired!
     }
   }

   void on_timeout(const asio::error_code& e)
   {
     if (e != asio::error::operation_aborted)
     {
       // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
     }
   }





* The `asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the [link asio.reference.error_code `error_code`] passed to it contains the value `asio::error::operation_aborted`. 




This typedef uses the C++11 `<chrono>` standard library facility, if available. Otherwise, it may use the Boost.Chrono library. To explicitly utilise Boost.Chrono, use the [link asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] template directly: 

   typedef basic_waitable_timer<boost::chrono::steady_clock> timer;

The `basic_streambuf` class is derived from `std::streambuf` to associate the streambuf's input and output sequences with one or more character arrays. These character arrays are internal to the `basic_streambuf` object, but direct access to the array elements is provided to permit them to be used efficiently with I/O operations. Characters written to the output sequence of a `basic_streambuf` object are appended to the input sequence of the same object.

The `basic_streambuf` class's public interface is intended to permit the following implementation strategies:


* A single contiguous character array, which is reallocated as necessary to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence. This is the implementation approach currently used in Asio.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays, where each array is of the same size. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.


* A sequence of one or more character arrays of varying sizes. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.

The constructor for [link asio.reference.basic_streambuf `basic_streambuf`] accepts a `size_t` argument specifying the maximum of the sum of the sizes of the input sequence and output sequence. During the lifetime of the `basic_streambuf` object, the following invariant holds: 

   size() <= max_size()


Any member function that would, if successful, cause the invariant to be violated shall throw an exception of class `std::length_error`.

The constructor for `basic_streambuf` takes an Allocator argument. A copy of this argument is used for any memory allocation performed, by the constructor and by all member functions, during the lifetime of each `basic_streambuf` object.

Reading from a socket directly into a streambuf: 

   asio::streambuf b;

   // reserve 512 bytes in output sequence
   asio::streambuf::mutable_buffers_type bufs = b.prepare(512);

   size_t n = sock.receive(bufs);

   // received data is "committed" from output sequence to input sequence
   b.commit(n);

[section:notify_fork system_executor::context_impl::notify_fork]

[indexterm2 notify_fork..system_executor::context_impl] 
Notify the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] of a fork-related event. 


  void notify_fork(
      fork_event event);


This function is used to inform the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] that the process is about to fork, or has just forked. This allows the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`], and the services it contains, to perform any necessary housekeeping to ensure correct operation following a fork.

This function must not be called while any other [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] function, or any function associated with the execution\_context's derived class, is being called in another thread. It is, however, safe to call this function from within a completion handler, provided no other thread is accessing the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] or its derived class.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[event][A fork-related event.]]

]


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure. If the notification fails the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] object should no longer be used and should be destroyed.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
The following code illustrates how to incorporate the `notify_fork()` function: 

   my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_prepare);
   if (fork() == 0)
   {
     // This is the child process.
     my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_child);
   }
   else
   {
     // This is the parent process.
     my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_parent);
   } 





[heading Remarks]
      
For each service object `svc` in the [link asio.reference.execution_context `execution_context`] set, performs `svc->fork_service();`. When processing the fork\_prepare event, services are visited in reverse order of the beginning of service object lifetime. Otherwise, services are visited in order of the beginning of service object lifetime.

The [link asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] class template provides the ability to perform a blocking or asynchronous wait for a timer to expire.

A waitable timer is always in one of two states: "expired" or "not expired". If the `wait()` or `async_wait()` function is called on an expired timer, the wait operation will complete immediately.

Most applications will use one of the [link asio.reference.steady_timer `steady_timer`], [link asio.reference.system_timer `system_timer`] or [link asio.reference.high_resolution_timer `high_resolution_timer`] typedefs.


[heading Remarks]
      
This waitable timer functionality is for use with the C++11 standard library's `<chrono>` facility, or with the Boost.Chrono library.


[heading Thread Safety]
  
['Distinct] ['objects:] Safe.

['Shared] ['objects:] Unsafe.


[heading Examples]
  
Performing a blocking wait (C++11): 

   // Construct a timer without setting an expiry time.
   asio::steady_timer timer(io_service);

   // Set an expiry time relative to now.
   timer.expires_after(std::chrono::seconds(5));

   // Wait for the timer to expire.
   timer.wait();





Performing an asynchronous wait (C++11): 

   void handler(const asio::error_code& error)
   {
     if (!error)
     {
       // Timer expired.
     }
   }

   ...

   // Construct a timer with an absolute expiry time.
   asio::steady_timer timer(io_service,
       std::chrono::steady_clock::now() + std::chrono::seconds(60));

   // Start an asynchronous wait.
   timer.async_wait(handler);





[heading Changing an active waitable timer's expiry time]
  


Changing the expiry time of a timer while there are pending asynchronous waits causes those wait operations to be cancelled. To ensure that the action associated with the timer is performed only once, use something like this: used:



   void on_some_event()
   {
     if (my_timer.expires_after(seconds(5)) > 0)
     {
       // We managed to cancel the timer. Start new asynchronous wait.
       my_timer.async_wait(on_timeout);
     }
     else
     {
       // Too late, timer has already expired!
     }
   }

   void on_timeout(const asio::error_code& e)
   {
     if (e != asio::error::operation_aborted)
     {
       // Timer was not cancelled, take necessary action.
     }
   }





* The `asio::basic_waitable_timer::expires_after()` function cancels any pending asynchronous waits, and returns the number of asynchronous waits that were cancelled. If it returns 0 then you were too late and the wait handler has already been executed, or will soon be executed. If it returns 1 then the wait handler was successfully cancelled.


* If a wait handler is cancelled, the [link asio.reference.error_code `error_code`] passed to it contains the value `asio::error::operation_aborted`. 




This typedef uses the C++11 `<chrono>` standard library facility, if available. Otherwise, it may use the Boost.Chrono library. To explicitly utilise Boost.Chrono, use the [link asio.reference.basic_waitable_timer `basic_waitable_timer`] template directly: 

   typedef basic_waitable_timer<boost::chrono::system_clock> timer;

The [link asio.reference.thread `thread`] class implements the smallest possible subset of the functionality of boost::thread.

  ]
  
]

The [link asio.reference.use_future_t `use_future_t`] class is used to indicate that an asynchronous operation should return a std::future object. A [link asio.reference.use_future_t `use_future_t`] object may be passed as a handler to an asynchronous operation, typically using the special value `asio::use_future`. For example:



   std::future<std::size_t> my_future
     = my_socket.async_read_some(my_buffer, asio::use_future); 




The initiating function (async\_read\_some in the above example) returns a future that will receive the result of the operation. If the operation completes with an [link asio.reference.error_code `error_code`] indicating failure, it is converted into a [link asio.reference.system_error `system_error`] and passed back to the caller via the future.

      uint64_t offset,
      const MutableBufferSequence & buffers,
      ReadHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously read data from the random-access handle. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[offset][The offset at which the data will be read.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers into which the data will be read. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes read.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The read operation may not read all of the requested number of bytes. Consider using the [link asio.reference.async_read_at `async_read_at`]  function if you need to ensure that the requested amount of data is read before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To read into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   handle.async_read_some_at(42, asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

      uint64_t offset,
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      WriteHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously write data to the random-access handle. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[offset][The offset at which the data will be written.]]

[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the handle. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the write operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes written.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The write operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link asio.reference.async_write_at `async_write_at`]  function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   handle.async_write_some_at(42, asio::buffer(data, size), handler);

To read into a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   handle.async_read_some(asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on reading into multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[section:async_write_some windows::basic_stream_handle::async_write_some]

[indexterm2 async_write_some..windows::basic_stream_handle] 
Start an asynchronous write. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.WriteHandler WriteHandler]``>
  ``[link asio.reference.asynchronous_operations.return_type_of_an_initiating_function ['void-or-deduced]]`` async_write_some(
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      WriteHandler && handler);


This function is used to asynchronously write data to the stream handle. The function call always returns immediately.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the handle. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the handler is called.]]

[[handler][The handler to be called when the write operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
``
   void handler(
     const asio::error_code& error, // Result of operation.
     std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes written.
   ); 
``
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using `asio::io_service::post()`.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The write operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link asio.reference.async_write `async_write`]  function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the asynchronous operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   handle.async_write_some(asio::buffer(data, size), handler);


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

  ``  [''''&raquo;''' [link asio.reference.windows__basic_stream_handle.write_some.overload2 more...]]``


[section:overload1 windows::basic_stream_handle::write_some (1 of 2 overloads)]


Write some data to the handle. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t write_some(
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers);


This function is used to write data to the stream handle. The function call will block until one or more bytes of the data has been written successfully, or until an error occurs.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the handle.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes written.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure. An error code of `asio::error::eof` indicates that the connection was closed by the peer.]]

]


[heading Remarks]
      
The write\_some operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link asio.reference.write `write`]  function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the blocking operation completes.


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   handle.write_some(asio::buffer(data, size));


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.

[section:overload2 windows::basic_stream_handle::write_some (2 of 2 overloads)]


Write some data to the handle. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t write_some(
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      asio::error_code & ec);


This function is used to write data to the stream handle. The function call will block until one or more bytes of the data has been written successfully, or until an error occurs.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[buffers][One or more data buffers to be written to the handle.]]

[[ec][Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes written. Returns 0 if an error occurred.


[heading Remarks]
      
The write\_some operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer. Consider using the [link asio.reference.write `write`]  function if you need to ensure that all data is written before the blocking operation completes.

[section:overload1 write (1 of 12 overloads)]


Write all of the supplied data to a stream before returning. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SyncWriteStream SyncWriteStream]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t write(
      SyncWriteStream & s,
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers,
      typename enable_if< is_const_buffer_sequence< ConstBufferSequence >::value >::type *  = 0);


This function is used to write a certain number of bytes of data to a stream. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* All of the data in the supplied buffers has been written. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's write\_some function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[s][The stream to which the data is to be written. The type must support the SyncWriteStream concept.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers containing the data to be written. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to write to the stream.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes transferred.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist
  
[[asio::system_error][Thrown on failure.]]

]


[heading Example]
  
To write a single data buffer use the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  function as follows: 

   asio::write(s, asio::buffer(data, size)); 


See the [link asio.reference.buffer `buffer`]  documentation for information on writing multiple buffers in one go, and how to use it with arrays, boost::array or std::vector.


[heading Remarks]
      
This overload is equivalent to calling: 

   asio::write(
       s, buffers,
       asio::transfer_all());

[section:overload1 write_at (1 of 8 overloads)]


Write all of the supplied data at the specified offset before returning. 


  template<
      typename ``[link asio.reference.SyncRandomAccessWriteDevice SyncRandomAccessWriteDevice]``,
      typename ``[link asio.reference.ConstBufferSequence ConstBufferSequence]``>
  std::size_t write_at(
      SyncRandomAccessWriteDevice & d,
      uint64_t offset,
      const ConstBufferSequence & buffers);


This function is used to write a certain number of bytes of data to a random access device at a specified offset. The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:


* All of the data in the supplied buffers has been written. That is, the bytes transferred is equal to the sum of the buffer sizes.


* An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's write\_some\_at function.


[heading Parameters]
    

[variablelist
  
[[d][The device to which the data is to be written. The type must support the SyncRandomAccessWriteDevice concept.]]

[[offset][The offset at which the data will be written.]]

[[buffers][One or more buffers containing the data to be written. The sum of the buffer sizes indicates the maximum number of bytes to write to the device.]]

]


[heading Return Value]
      
The number of bytes transferred.


[heading Exceptions]
    

[variablelist

    [Return a yield context that sets the specified error_code. ]
  ]
  
]

The [link asio.reference.basic_yield_context `basic_yield_context`] class is used to represent the currently executing stackful coroutine. A [link asio.reference.basic_yield_context `basic_yield_context`] may be passed as a handler to an asynchronous operation. For example:



   template <typename Handler>
   void my_coroutine(basic_yield_context<Handler> yield)
   {
     ...
     std::size_t n = my_socket.async_read_some(buffer, yield);
     ...
   } 




The initiating function (async\_read\_some in the above example) suspends the current coroutine. The coroutine is resumed when the asynchronous operation completes, and the result of the operation is returned.
