Member Function Documentation

create()

virtual DeviceDriver * yarp::dev::DriverCreator::create ( ) const

pure virtual

Create a device.

Implemented in yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator.

getCode()

virtual std::string yarp::dev::DriverCreator::getCode ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the name of the C++ class associated with this device.

Returns

the name of the C++ class associated with this device.

Implemented in yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator.

getName()

virtual std::string yarp::dev::DriverCreator::getName ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the common name of the device.

Returns

the common name of the device this creates.

Implemented in yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator.

getWrapper()

virtual std::string yarp::dev::DriverCreator::getWrapper ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the common name of a device that can wrap this one.

Returns

the common name of the device that can wrap this one for the network.

Implemented in yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator.

owner()

virtual PolyDriver * yarp::dev::DriverCreator::owner ( )

inlinevirtual

For "links" to other devices.

Default implementation returns NULL, which is correct for all real devices talking to hardware.

Returns

the object managing the device.

Definition at line 72 of file Drivers.h.

toString()

virtual std::string yarp::dev::DriverCreator::toString ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a simple description of devices the factory can make.

Returns

a description of what this factory makes

Implemented in yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator.
