Low-level access to object contents.
These functions provide a more "C-like" access interface, returning special values instead of throwing exceptions on error. These functions are generally best avoided in favour of the high-level access functions, which behave more like C++ functions should. Due to libpq's underlying API, some operations are limited to "int" sizes, typically 2 GB, even though a large object can grow much larger.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ off_type

using pqxx::largeobjectaccess::off_type = size_type

◆ openmode

using pqxx::largeobjectaccess::openmode = std::ios::openmode

Open mode: in, out (can be combined using "bitwise or").

According to the C++ standard, these should be in std::ios_base. We take them from derived class std::ios instead, which is easier on the eyes.

Historical note: taking it from std::ios was originally a workaround for a problem with gcc 2.95.

◆ pos_type

using pqxx::largeobjectaccess::pos_type = size_type

◆ seekdir

using pqxx::largeobjectaccess::seekdir = std::ios::seekdir

Seek direction: beg, cur, end.

◆ size_type

using pqxx::largeobject::size_type = large_object_size_type

◆ cread()

pqxx::largeobjectaccess::pos_type PQXX_COLD pqxx::largeobjectaccess::cread	(	char	buf[],
		std::size_t	len
	)

noexcept

Read from large object's data stream.

Does not throw exception in case of error; inspect return value and errno instead.

Parameters

buf	Area where incoming bytes should be stored.
len	Number of bytes to read.

Returns: Number of bytes actually read, or -1 if an error occurred..

◆ cseek()

pqxx::largeobjectaccess::pos_type PQXX_COLD pqxx::largeobjectaccess::cseek	(	off_type	dest,
		seekdir	dir
	)

noexcept

Seek in large object's data stream.

Does not throw exception in case of error; inspect return value and errno instead.

Parameters

dest	Offset to go to.
dir	Origin to which dest is relative: ios_base::beg (from beginning of the object), ios_base::cur (from current access position), or ios_base;:end (from end of object).

Returns: New position in large object, or -1 if an error occurred.

◆ ctell()

pqxx::largeobjectaccess::pos_type PQXX_COLD pqxx::largeobjectaccess::ctell ( ) const

noexcept

Report current position in large object's data stream.

Does not throw exception in case of error; inspect return value and errno instead.

Returns: Current position in large object, of -1 if an error occurred.

◆ cwrite()

pqxx::largeobjectaccess::pos_type PQXX_COLD pqxx::largeobjectaccess::cwrite	(	char const	buf[],
		std::size_t	len

noexcept

Write to large object's data stream.

Does not throw exception in case of error; inspect return value and errno instead.

Parameters

buf	Data to write.
len	Number of bytes to write.

Returns: Number of bytes actually written, or -1 if an error occurred.
