* \brief Virtual KFile I/O interface.
- * KFile is a generic interface for file I/O.
- * It uses an object-oriented model to supply
- * a generic interface for drivers to communicate.
+ *
+ * KFile is a simple, generic interface for file I/O. It uses an
+ * object-oriented model to supply a device-neutral interface to
+ * communicate with drivers.
+ *
* This module contains only definitions, the instance structure
- * and an API.
- * Each KFile user should implement at least some methods.
- * E.G.
- * If you have a serial driver and want to comply to KFile interface,
- * you have to declare your context structure:
+ * and the common API.
+ * Each KFile subclass can override one or more methods of the interface,
+ * and can extend the base KFile structure with its own private data.
+ * For instance, a serial driver might implement the KFile interface by
+ * declaring a context structure like this:
*
* \code
- * typedef struct KFileSerial
+ * typedef struct Serial
* {
- * KFile fd;
- * Serial *ser;
- * } KFileSerial;
+ * // base class instance
+ * KFile fd;
+ *
+ * // private instance data
+ * FIFOBuffer txfifo, rxfifo;
+ * } Serial;
* \endcode
*
- * You should also supply a macro for casting KFile to KFileSerial:
+ * You should also supply a macro for casting KFile to Serial:
*
* \code
- * INLINE KFileSerial * KFILESERIAL(KFile *fd)
+ * INLINE Serial * SERIAL_CAST(KFile *fd)
* {
* ASSERT(fd->_type == KFT_SERIAL);
- * return (KFileSerial *)fd;
+ * return (Serial *)fd;
* }
* \endcode
*
- * Then you can implement as much interface functions as you like
- * and leave the others to NULL.
- * ser_close implementation example:
+ * Then you can implement as many interface functions as needed
+ * and leave the rest to NULL.
+ *
+ * Example implementation of the close KFile method for Serial:
*
* \code
* static int ser_kfile_close(struct KFile *fd)
* {
- * KFileSerial *fds = KFILESERIAL(fd);
- * ser_close(fds->ser);
+ * Serial *fds = SERIAL_CAST(fd);
+ * // [driver specific code here]
* return 0;
* }
* \endcode
- * KFILESERIAL macro helps to ensure that obj passed is really a Serial.
*
- * KFile interface do not supply the open function: this is deliberate,
+ * The SERIAL_CAST() macro helps ensure that the passed object is
+ * really of type Serial.
+ *
+ * The KFile interface does not supply an open function: this is deliberate,
* because in embedded systems each device has its own init parameters.
- * For the same reason specific file settings (like baudrate for Serial, for example)
- * are demanded to specific driver implementation.
+ * For the same reason, specific device settings like, for example,
+ * the baudrate, are not part of interface and should be handled by the
+ * driver-specific API.
