| [section:iostreams Socket Iostreams] |
| |
| Boost.Asio includes classes that implement iostreams on top of sockets. These hide |
| away the complexities associated with endpoint resolution, protocol |
| independence, etc. To create a connection one might simply write: |
| |
| ip::tcp::iostream stream("www.boost.org", "http"); |
| if (!stream) |
| { |
| // Can't connect. |
| } |
| |
| The iostream class can also be used in conjunction with an acceptor to create |
| simple servers. For example: |
| |
| io_service ios; |
| |
| ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint(tcp::v4(), 80); |
| ip::tcp::acceptor acceptor(ios, endpoint); |
| |
| for (;;) |
| { |
| ip::tcp::iostream stream; |
| acceptor.accept(*stream.rdbuf()); |
| ... |
| } |

| [heading Notes] |
| |
| These iostream templates only support `char`, not `wchar_t`, and do not perform |
| any code conversion. |
