disconnect
effective procedure
{ANY}
Try to disconnect the stream.
Note that it *does not* ensure that the stream will effectively be disconnected (some terminal streams, for instance, are always connected) but the feature can be used to "shake off" filters.

effective procedure

require
  • a_socket = socket
  • not is_connected
is_connected: BOOLEAN
effective function
{ANY}
True if the stream is connected.
Only in that case can data be transferred via this stream.
is_remote_connected: BOOLEAN
effective function
{ANY}
can_read_character: BOOLEAN
effective function
{ANY}
Can be temporarily False because the socket does not yet have available data
require

effective function

require

effective function

require
  • is_connected
  • valid_last_character
valid_last_character: BOOLEAN
effective function
{ANY}
require
  • is_connected
end_of_input: BOOLEAN
effective function
{ANY}
end_of_input means the previous attempt in character reading failed because the end has been reached.
So last_character is not valid and you are not allowed to do any read attempt anymore.
Notes:
  • Just after a successful connect, end_of_input is always False because you did not yet read anything).
  • Once the end of input has been reached, this is definitive in that no more characters will ever be provided (but of course you can still come back if can_unread_character; end_of_input will be changed if you unread_character). In that, it is different from can_read_character which is only a temporary state.
Please refer to the Liberty Eiffel FAQ or tutorial/io examples.
