C HAPTER S YNOPSIS

This chapter describes the design and use of the ACE Streams framework. This framework implements the Pipes and Filters pattern [POSA1], which is an architectural pattern that provides a structure for systems that process streams of data. We illustrate how the ACE Streams framework can be used to develop a utility program that formats and prints files of log records stored by our logging servers.
