+ \brief Connector classes
A connector has two independent properties
- \li it may be \e active or \e passive
- \li it may be an \e input or an \e output
-
+ - it may be \e active or \e passive
+ - it may be an \e input or an \e output
+
\e Active connectors are activated from within the module, \e passive connectors are
signaled by the external framework. \e Input modules receive packets, \e output modules send
packets.
All passive connectors call some onRequest callback whenever I/O needs to be performed. All
input modules possess a packet queue.
- We therefore have 4 connector types: senf::ppi::ActiveInput, senf::ppi::ActiveOutput,
- senf::ppi::PassiveInput and senf::ppi::PassiveOutput.
+ We therefore have 4 connector types:
+ - senf::ppi::connector::ActiveInput
+ - senf::ppi::connector::ActiveOutput
+ - senf::ppi::connector::PassiveInput
+ - senf::ppi::connector::PassiveOutput.
+
+ Connectors are declared as module data members and are then externally connected to other
+ modules.
+
+ The connectors each take an optional template argument. If this argument is specified, it
+ must be the type of packet expected or sent on this connector. If it is not specified,
+ packets will be passed using the generic Packet handle.
