Detailed Description

This class is the base class for the service classes.

See also:: LLIOPipe

The services map a string to a chain factory with a known interface at the front of the chain. So, to activate a service, call activate() with the name of the service needed which will call the associated factory, and return a pointer to the known interface. NOTE: If you are implementing a service factory, it is vitally important that the service pipe is at the front of the chain.

		LLPumpIO::chain_t &	chain,
		LLSD	context
	)			`[static]`

This method connects to a service by name.

Parameters:

	name	The name of the service to connect to.

Returns:: An instance of the service for use or NULL on failure.

bool LLService::discard ( const std::string & name ) [static]

Parameters:

name

The name of the service to discard.

Returns:: true if service creator was found and discarded.

bool LLService::registerCreator	(	const std::string &	name,
		creator_t	fn
	)			`[static]`

This method is used to register a protocol name with a a functor that creates the service.
