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🔗

ENUM iox_AllocationResult 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,
    void *const payload
)

releases ownership of a previously allocated loaned request without sending it

Parameters:

self handle of the client
payload pointer to the user-payload of the loaned request which should be free'd

function iox_client_send🔗

Parameters:

self handle of the client
payload pointer to the user-payload of the request which should be send

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

function iox_client_connect🔗

void iox_client_connect(
    iox_client_t const self

what is the connection state?

Parameters:

self handle to the client

Return: ConnectionState_CONNECTED when successfully connected otherwise an enum which describes the current state

function iox_client_take_response🔗

ENUM iox_ChunkReceiveResult iox_client_take_response(
    iox_client_t const self,
    const void **const payload
)

retrieve a received respone

Parameters:

self handle to the client
payload pointer in which the pointer to the user-payload of the response is stored

Return: if a chunk could be received it returns ChunkReceiveResult_SUCCESS otherwise an enum which describes the error

function iox_client_release_response🔗

void iox_client_release_response(
    iox_client_t const self,
    const void *const payload
)
