#### AsyncFile (Constructor)

AsyncFile(sock, mode, name)

Constructor

sock (socket)
  the socket object being wrapped
mode (str)
  mode of this file
name (str)
  name of this file

#### AsyncFile.__checkMode

__checkMode(mode)

Private method to check the mode.

This method checks, if an operation is permitted according to the mode of the file. If it is not, an IOError is raised.

mode (string)
  the mode to be checked

Raises IOError:
  raised to indicate a bad file descriptor

#### AsyncFile.close

close(closeit=False)

Public method to close the file.

closeit (bool)
  flag to indicate a close ordered by the debugger code

#### AsyncFile.fileno

fileno()

Public method returning the file number.

Returns:
  file number

Return Type:
  int

#### AsyncFile.flush

flush()

Public method to write all pending entries.

#### AsyncFile.isatty

isatty()

Public method to indicate whether a tty interface is supported.

Returns:
  always false

Return Type:
  bool

#### AsyncFile.pendingWrite

pendingWrite()

Public method that returns the number of strings waiting to be written.

Returns:
  the number of strings to be written

Return Type:
  int

#### AsyncFile.read

read(size=-1)

Public method to read bytes from this file.

size (int)
  maximum number of bytes to be read

Returns:
  the bytes read

Return Type:
  str

#### AsyncFile.readCommand

readCommand()

Public method to read a length prefixed command string.

Returns:
  command string

Return Type:
  str

#### AsyncFile.read_p

read_p(size=-1)

Public method to read bytes from this file.

size (int)
  maximum number of bytes to be read

Returns:
  the bytes read

Return Type:
  str

#### AsyncFile.readable

readable()

Public method to check, if the stream is readable.

Returns:
  flag indicating a readable stream

Return Type:
  bool

#### AsyncFile.readline

readline(sizehint=-1)

Public method to read one line from this file.

sizehint (int)
  hint of the numbers of bytes to be read

Returns:
  one line read

Return Type:
  str

#### AsyncFile.readline_p

readline_p(size=-1)

Public method to read a line from this file.

Note: This method will not block and may return only a part of a line if that is all that is available.

size (int)
  maximum number of bytes to be read

Returns:
  one line of text up to size bytes

Return Type:
  str

#### AsyncFile.readlines

readlines(sizehint=-1)

Public method to read all lines from this file.

sizehint (int)
  hint of the numbers of bytes to be read

Returns:
  list of lines read

Return Type:
  list of str

#### AsyncFile.seek

seek(offset, whence=0)

Public method to move the filepointer.

offset (int)
  offset to move the filepointer to
whence (int)
  position the offset relates to

Raises IOError:
  This method is not supported and always raises an IOError.

seekable()

Public method to check, if the stream is seekable.

Returns:
  flag indicating a seekable stream

Return Type:
  bool

#### AsyncFile.tell

tell()

Public method to get the filepointer position.

Raises IOError:
