NAME

RemoteStreams - support export and import of streams

SYNOPSIS

PROCEDURE SetMode(s: Streams.Stream;
                  caps: Streams.CapabilitySet;
                  bufmode: Streams.BufMode);

DESCRIPTION

RemoteStreams is a service provider (see RemoteObjects and Services) which allows to export and import streams of Streams.

SetMode allows to parameterize subsequent exports of s:

caps: allows to restrict the exported capabilities to a subset of the capabilities returned by Streams.Capabilities.
bufmode: sets the buffering mode for the proxy stream on the importing side.

By default, the intersection of the capabilities supported by RemoteStreams and s are made available for the importing side. Currently, RemoteObjects does not support trunc, holes, and handler. The buffering mode defaults to the buffering mode of the original stream.

DIAGNOSTICS

RemoteStreams does not generate any error events itself. See RemoteObjects for network-related failures.

BUGS

StreamConditions are not supported yet.
