Methods' Summary
read reads a requested number of bytes from the connection.  
write writes the given bytesequence to the stream.  
flush Empties all internal buffers.  
close Immediately terminates any ongoing read or write calls. All subsequent read or write calls()  
getDescription A unique string describing the connection.  
Methods' Details
read
long
read( [out] sequence< byte >  aReadBytes,
[in] long  nBytesToRead )
raises( ::com::sun::star::io::IOException );

Description
reads a requested number of bytes from the connection.

This method is blocking, meaning that it always returns a bytesequence with the requested number of bytes, unless it has reached end of file (which often means, that close() has been called).

please see also the readSomeBytes() method of XConnection2.

Returns
The read number of bytes. The return value and the length of the returned sequence must be identical.
Parameter nBytesToRead
The number of bytes to be read from the stream.
Throws
com::sun::star::io::IOException in case an error occurred during reading from the stream.
write
void
write( [in] sequence< byte >  aData )
raises( ::com::sun::star::io::IOException );

Description
writes the given bytesequence to the stream.

The method blocks until the whole sequence is written.

Throws
com::sun::star::io::IOException in case an error occurred during writing to the stream.
flush
void
flush()
raises( ::com::sun::star::io::IOException );

Description
Empties all internal buffers.
close
void
close()
raises( ::com::sun::star::io::IOException );

Description
Immediately terminates any ongoing read or write calls. All subsequent read or write calls()
getDescription
string
getDescription();

Description
A unique string describing the connection.

This string is different from the arguments to XConnection::accept and XConnector::connect. In general, the string contains an additional handle value. For example, "socket,host=localhost,port=2002,uniqueValue=2324".
