client handle

Functions Documentation🔗

function iox_client_options_init🔗

void iox_client_options_init(
    iox_client_options_t * options
)

initialize client options to default values

Parameters:

  • options pointer to options to be initialized, emit warning if it is a null pointer

Attention: This must always be called on a newly created options struct to prevent uninitialized values. The options may get extended in the future.

function iox_client_options_is_initialized🔗

bool iox_client_options_is_initialized(
    const iox_client_options_t *const options
)

check whether the client options were initialized by iox_client_options_init

Parameters:

  • options pointer to options to be checked

Return: true if options are not null and were initialized, false otherwise

function iox_client_init🔗

iox_client_t iox_client_init(
    iox_client_storage_t * self,
    const char *const service,
    const char *const instance,
    const char *const event,
    const iox_client_options_t *const options
)

creates a client handle

Parameters:

  • self pointer to preallocated memory of size = sizeof(iox_client_storage_t)
  • service serviceString
  • instance instanceString
  • event eventString
  • options client options set by the user, if it is a null pointer default options are used

Return: handle of the client

function iox_client_deinit🔗

void iox_client_deinit(
    iox_client_t const self
)

removes a client handle

Parameters:

  • self the handle which should be removed

function iox_client_loan_request🔗

ENUM iox_AllocationResult iox_client_loan_request(
    iox_client_t const self,
    void **const payload,
    const uint32_t payloadSize
)

allocates a request in the shared memory

Parameters:

  • self handle of the client
  • payload pointer in which a pointer to the user-payload of the allocated chunk is stored
  • payloadSize user-payload size of the allocated request

Return: on success it returns AllocationResult_SUCCESS otherwise a value which describes the error

Note: for the user-payload alignment IOX_C_CHUNK_DEFAULT_USER_PAYLOAD_ALIGNMENT is used for a custom user-payload alignment please use iox_client_loan_aligned_request

function iox_client_loan_aligned_request🔗

    const uint32_t payloadAlignment
)

allocates a request in the shared memory with a custom alignment for the user-payload

Parameters:

  • self handle of the client
  • payload pointer in which a pointer to the user-payload of the allocated request is stored
  • payloadSize user-payload size of the allocated request
  • payloadAlignment user-payload alignment of the allocated request

Return: on success it returns AllocationResult_SUCCESS otherwise a value which describes the error

function iox_client_release_request🔗

void iox_client_release_request(
    iox_client_t const self,
