getCommand

Declaration

virtual IOCommandPtr getCommand(bool blockForCommand);

Parameters

• blockForCommand:

  If the caller would like to have its thread slept until a command is available, it should pass true, else false.

Return Value

If the caller passes true in blockForCommand, getCommand guarantees that the result will be a pointer to an IOCommand object from the pool. If the caller passes false, s/he is responsible for checking whether a non-NULL pointer was returned.
