## Detailed Description

Implementation of BufferedTransformation's attachment interface.

Filter is a cornerstone of the Pipeline trinitiy. Data flows from Sources, through Filters, and then terminates in Sinks. The difference between a Source and Filter is a Source pumps data, while a Filter does not. The difference between a Filter and a Sink is a Filter allows an attached transformation, while a Sink does not.

See the discussion of BufferedTransformation in cryptlib.h for more details.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ Filter()

Filter::Filter | ( | BufferedTransformation * | attachment = `NULL` | ) |

Construct a Filter.

Parameters

  attachment | an optional attached transformation

attachment can be NULL.

Definition at line 26 of file filters.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ Attachable()

bool Filter::Attachable | ( |  | ) |
| inline virtual

Determine if attachable.

Returns
  true if the object allows attached transformations, false otherwise.

Note
  Source and Filter offer attached transformations; while Sink does not.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 51 of file filters.h.

## ◆ AttachedTransformation() [1/2]

BufferedTransformation * Filter::AttachedTransformation | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Retrieve attached transformation.

Returns
  pointer to a BufferedTransformation if there is an attached transformation, NULL otherwise.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 36 of file filters.cpp.

## ◆ AttachedTransformation() [2/2]

const BufferedTransformation * Filter::AttachedTransformation | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Retrieve attached transformation.

Returns
  pointer to a BufferedTransformation if there is an attached transformation, NULL otherwise.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 43 of file filters.cpp.

## ◆ Detach()

void Filter::Detach | ( | BufferedTransformation * | newAttachment = `NULL` | ) |
| virtual

Replace an attached transformation.

Parameters

  newAttachment | an optional attached transformation

newAttachment can be a single filter, a chain of filters or NULL. Pass NULL to remove an existing BufferedTransformation or chain of filters

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 50 of file filters.cpp.

## ◆ TransferTo2()

size_t Filter::TransferTo2 | ( | BufferedTransformation & | target,
|  | lword & | byteCount,
|  | const std::string & | channel = `DEFAULT_CHANNEL`,
|  | bool | blocking = `true`
| ) |  |
| virtual

Transfer bytes from this object to another BufferedTransformation.

Parameters

  target | the destination BufferedTransformation
  byteCount | the number of bytes to transfer
  channel | the channel on which the transfer should occur
  blocking | specifies whether the object should block when processing input

Returns
  the number of bytes that remain in the transfer block (i.e., bytes not transferred)

TransferTo2() removes bytes from this object and moves them to the destination. Transfer begins at the index position in the current stream, and not from an absolute position in the stream.

byteCount is an IN and OUT parameter. When the call is made, byteCount is the requested size of the transfer. When the call returns, byteCount is the number of bytes that were transferred.

Implements BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 66 of file filters.cpp.

## ◆ CopyRangeTo2()

size_t Filter::CopyRangeTo2 | ( | BufferedTransformation & | target,
|  | lword & | begin,
|  | lword | end = `LWORD_MAX`,
|  | const std::string & | channel = `DEFAULT_CHANNEL`,
|  | bool | blocking = `true`
| ) |  | const
| virtual

Copy bytes from this object to another BufferedTransformation.

Parameters

  target | the destination BufferedTransformation
  begin | the 0-based index of the first byte to copy in the stream
  end | the 0-based index of the last byte to copy in the stream
  channel | the channel on which the transfer should occur
  blocking | specifies whether the object should block when processing input

Returns
  the number of bytes that remain in the copy block (i.e., bytes not copied)

CopyRangeTo2 copies bytes from this object to the destination. The bytes are not removed from this object. Copying begins at the index position in the current stream, and not from an absolute position in the stream.

begin is an IN and OUT parameter. When the call is made, begin is the starting position of the copy. When the call returns, begin is the position of the first byte that was not copied (which may be different than end). begin can be used for subsequent calls to CopyRangeTo2().

Implements BufferedTransformation.

## ◆ Initialize()

void Filter::Initialize | ( | const NameValuePairs & | parameters = `g_nullNameValuePairs`,
|  | int | propagation = `-1`
| ) |  |
| virtual

Initialize or reinitialize this object, with signal propagation.

Parameters

  parameters | a set of NameValuePairs to initialize or reinitialize this object
  propagation | the number of attached transformations the Initialize() signal should be passed

Initialize() is used to initialize or reinitialize an object using a variable number of arbitrarily typed arguments. The function avoids the need for multiple constructors providing all possible combintations of configurable parameters.

propagation count includes this object. Setting propagation to `1` means this object only. Setting propagation to `-1` means unlimited propagation.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 71 of file filters.cpp.

## ◆ Flush()

bool Filter::Flush | ( | bool | hardFlush,
|  | int | propagation = `-1`,
|  | bool | blocking = `true`
| ) |  |
| virtual

Flush buffered input and/or output, with signal propagation.

Parameters

  hardFlush | is used to indicate whether all data should be flushed
  propagation | the number of attached transformations the Flush() signal should be passed
  blocking | specifies whether the object should block when processing input

Returns
  true if the flush was successful, false otherwise

propagation count includes this object. Setting propagation to `1` means this object only. Setting propagation to `-1` means unlimited propagation.

Note
  Hard flushes must be used with care. It means try to process and output everything, even if there may not be enough data to complete the action. For example, hard flushing a HexDecoder would cause an error if you do it after inputing an odd number of hex encoded characters.
  For some types of filters, like ZlibDecompressor, hard flushes can only be done at "synchronization points". These synchronization points are positions in the data stream that are created by hard flushes on the corresponding reverse filters, in this example ZlibCompressor. This is useful when zlib compressed data is moved across a network in packets and compression state is preserved across packets, as in the SSH2 protocol.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Reimplemented in Multichannel< Filter >, CustomFlushPropagation< Filter >, Unflushable< Filter >, Unflushable< Multichannel< Filter > >, InformationDispersal, and SecretSharing.

Definition at line 78 of file filters.cpp.

## ◆ MessageSeriesEnd()

bool Filter::MessageSeriesEnd | ( | int | propagation = `-1`,
|  | bool | blocking = `true`
| ) |  |
| virtual

Marks the end of a series of messages, with signal propagation.

Parameters

  propagation | the number of attached transformations the MessageSeriesEnd() signal should be passed
  blocking | specifies whether the object should block when processing input

Returns
  true if the message was successful, false otherwise

Each object that receives the signal will perform its processing, decrement propagation, and then pass the signal on to attached transformations if the value is not 0.

propagation count includes this object. Setting propagation to `1` means this object only. Setting propagation to `-1` means unlimited propagation.

Note
  There should be a MessageEnd() immediately before MessageSeriesEnd().
