## Detailed Description

Measure how many bytes and messages pass through the filter.

measure how many bytes and messages pass through the filter. The filter also serves as valve by maintaining a list of ranges to skip during processing.

Definition at line 232 of file filters.h.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## MeterFilter()

MeterFilter::MeterFilter | ( | BufferedTransformation * | attachment = `NULL`,
|  | bool | transparent = `true`
| ) |  |

inline

Construct a MeterFilter.

Parameters

  attachment | an optional attached transformation
  transparent | flag indicating if the filter should function transparently

attachment can be NULL. The filter is transparent by default. If the filter is transparent, then PutMaybeModifiable() does not process a request and always returns 0.

Definition at line 242 of file filters.h.

## Member Function Documentation

## SetTransparent()

void MeterFilter::SetTransparent | ( | bool | transparent | ) |

inline

Set or change the transparent mode of this object.

Parameters

  transparent | the new transparent mode

Definition at line 249 of file filters.h.

## AddRangeToSkip()

void MeterFilter::AddRangeToSkip | ( | unsigned int | message,
|  | lword | position,
|  | lword | size,
|  | bool | sortNow = `true`
| ) |  |

Adds a range to skip during processing.

Parameters

  message | the message to apply the range
  position | the 0-based index in the current stream
  size | the length of the range
  sortNow | flag indicating whether the range should be sorted

Internally, MeterFilter maitains a deque of ranges to skip. As messages are processed, ranges of bytes are skipped according to the list of ranges.

## ResetMeter()

void MeterFilter::ResetMeter | ( |  | ) |

Resets the meter.

ResetMeter() reinitializes the meter by setting counters to 0 and removing previous skip ranges.

## IsolatedInitialize()

void MeterFilter::IsolatedInitialize | ( | const NameValuePairs & | parameters | ) |

inline virtual

Initialize or reinitialize this object, without signal propagation.

Parameters

  parameters | a set of NameValuePairs to initialize this object

Exceptions

  NotImplemented |

IsolatedInitialize() 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.

IsolatedInitialize() does not call Initialize() on attached transformations. If initialization should be propagated, then use the Initialize() function.

If a derived class does not override IsolatedInitialize(), then the base class throws NotImplemented.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 266 of file filters.h.

## GetCurrentMessageBytes()

lword MeterFilter::GetCurrentMessageBytes | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Number of bytes in the current message.

Returns
  the number of bytes in the current message

Definition at line 271 of file filters.h.

## GetTotalBytes()

lword MeterFilter::GetTotalBytes | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Number of bytes processed by the filter.

Returns
  the number of bytes processed by the filter

Definition at line 275 of file filters.h.

## GetCurrentSeriesMessages()

unsigned int MeterFilter::GetCurrentSeriesMessages | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Message number in the series.

Returns
  the message number in the series

Definition at line 279 of file filters.h.

## GetTotalMessages()

unsigned int MeterFilter::GetTotalMessages | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Number of messages in the message series.

Returns
  the number of messages in the message series

Definition at line 283 of file filters.h.

## GetTotalMessageSeries()

unsigned int MeterFilter::GetTotalMessageSeries | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Number of messages processed by the filter.

Returns
  the number of messages processed by the filter

Definition at line 287 of file filters.h.

## CreatePutSpace()

byte* MeterFilter::CreatePutSpace | ( | size_t & | size | ) |

inline virtual

Request space which can be written into by the caller.

Parameters

  size | the requested size of the buffer

Returns
  byte pointer to the space to input data

The purpose of this method is to help avoid extra memory allocations.

size is an IN and OUT parameter and used as a hint. When the call is made, size is the requested size of the buffer. When the call returns, size is the size of the array returned to the caller.

The base class implementation sets size to 0 and returns NULL.

Note
  Some objects, like ArraySink, cannot create a space because its fixed. In the case of an ArraySink, the pointer to the array is returned and the size is remaining size.

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

Definition at line 290 of file filters.h.

## Put2()

size_t MeterFilter::Put2 | ( | const byte * | inString,
|  | size_t | length,
|  | int | messageEnd,
|  | bool | blocking
| ) |  |

virtual

Input multiple bytes for processing.

Parameters

  inString | the byte buffer to process
  length | the size of the string, in bytes
  messageEnd | means how many filters to signal MessageEnd() to, including this one
  blocking | specifies whether the object should block when processing input

Returns
  the number of bytes that remain to be processed (i.e., bytes not processed). 0 indicates all bytes were processed.

Derived classes must implement Put2().

Implements BufferedTransformation.

## PutModifiable2()

size_t MeterFilter::PutModifiable2 | ( | byte * | inString,
|  | size_t | length,
|  | int | messageEnd,
|  | bool | blocking
| ) |  |

virtual

Input multiple bytes that may be modified by callee.

Parameters

  inString | the byte buffer to process.
  length | the size of the string, in bytes.
  messageEnd | means how many filters to signal MessageEnd() to, including this one.
  blocking | specifies whether the object should block when processing input.

Returns
  the number of bytes that remain to be processed (i.e., bytes not processed). 0 indicates all bytes were processed.

Internally, PutModifiable2() calls Put2().

Reimplemented from BufferedTransformation.

## IsolatedMessageSeriesEnd()

bool MeterFilter::IsolatedMessageSeriesEnd | ( | bool | blocking | ) |

virtual

Marks the end of a series of messages, without signal propagation.

Parameters

  blocking | specifies whether the object should block when completing the processing on the current series of messages

Returns
  true if the message was successful, false otherwise
