panda3d.core.DatagramGenerator¶

class DatagramGenerator¶

This class defines the abstract interace to any source of datagrams, whether it be from a file or from the net.

Inheritance diagram

getDatagram(data: Datagram) → bool¶

getFile() → FileReference¶

Returns the FileReference that provides the source for these datagrams, if any, or NULL if the datagrams do not originate from a file on disk.

Return type: FileReference

getFilePos() → streamoff¶

Returns the current file position within the data stream, if any, or 0 if the file position is not meaningful or cannot be determined.

For DatagramGenerators that return a meaningful file position, this will be pointing to the first byte following the datagram returned after a call to getDatagram().

Return type: streamoff

getFilename() → Filename¶

Returns the filename that provides the source for these datagrams, if any, or empty string if the datagrams do not originate from a file on disk.

Return type: Filename

getTimestamp() → time_t¶

Returns the on-disk timestamp of the file that was read, at the time it was opened, if that is available, or 0 if it is not.

Return type: time_t

getVfile() → VirtualFile¶

Returns the VirtualFile that provides the source for these datagrams, if any, or NULL if the datagrams do not originate from a VirtualFile.

Return type: VirtualFile

isEof() → bool¶

isError() → bool¶

saveDatagram(info: SubfileInfo) → bool¶

Skips over the next datagram without extracting it, but saves the relevant file information in the SubfileInfo object so that its data may be read later. For non-file-based datagram generators, this may mean creating a temporary file and copying the contents of the datagram to disk.

Returns true on success, false on failure or if this method is unimplemented.
