Interface RTEventBufferOutput

All Known Implementing Classes:

RTEventBuffer

public interface RTEventBufferOutput

Methods for event buffer output. For documentation of the methods, refer to the class RTEventBuffer. When only the output side of such a buffer is to be provided for some event source, or as a resource in a monitor, a reference to an RTEventBufferOutput object is better to use to prevent calling the input methods of the buffer (by accident). Note, however, in the case of buffer output from within a monitor: when the buffer object also comprises a monitor, do not use the doFetch methods which are blocking (on buffer empty) which will lock also the outer monitor (if not using the lock of the buffer for its mutual exclusion, which is not recommended).
