your (D)TLS library type.
DESCRIPTION
The coap_register_handler() function registers a callback handler handler that is called
when there is a URI match against the resource and there is a method (e.g. PUT, POST etc.)
match. method can be one of the following.
COAP_REQUEST_GET
COAP_REQUEST_POST
COAP_REQUEST_PUT
COAP_REQUEST_DELETE
COAP_REQUEST_FETCH
COAP_REQUEST_PATCH
COAP_REQUEST_IPATCH
The handler function prototype is defined as:
typedef void (*coap_method_handler_t)(coap_context_t *context,
coap_resource_t *resource,
coap_session_t *session,
coap_pdu_t *incoming_pdu,
coap_string_t *token,
coap_string_t *query,
coap_pdu_t *response_pdu);
NOTE: incoming_pdu will be NULL for the GET Handler if this is an internally generated
Observe Response. coap_find_observer() can be used to determine the subscription
information in this case.
The coap_register_response_handler() function defines a request’s response handler for
traffic associated with the context. The application can use this for handling any
response packets, including sending a RST packet if this response was unexpected. If
handler is NULL, then the handler is de-registered.
The handler function prototype is defined as:
typedef void (*coap_response_handler_t)(coap_context_t *context,
coap_session_t *session,
coap_pdu_t *sent,
coap_pdu_t *received,
const coap_tid_t id);
NOTE: sent will only be non NULL when the request PDU is Confirmable and this is an ACK or
RST response to the request. In general, matching of Requests and Responses whould be done
generating unique Tokens for each Request and then matching up based on the Token in
received Response.
The coap_register_nack_handler() function defines a request’s negative response handler
for traffic associated with the context. If handler is NULL, then the handler is
de-registered.
The handler function prototype is defined as:
typedef void (*coap_nack_handler_t)(coap_context_t *context,
coap_session_t *session,
coap_pdu_t *sent,
coap_nack_reason_t reason,
const coap_tid_t id);
NACKs can be one of the following
COAP_NACK_TOO_MANY_RETRIES
COAP_NACK_NOT_DELIVERABLE
COAP_NACK_RST
COAP_NACK_TLS_FAILED
COAP_NACK_ICMP_ISSUE
The coap_register_ping_handler() function defines a handler for tracking receipt of CoAP
ping traffic associated with the context. If handler is NULL, then the handler is
de-registered.
The handler function prototype is defined as:
typedef void (*coap_ping_handler_t)(coap_context_t *context,
coap_session_t *session,
coap_pdu_t *received,
const coap_tid_t id);
The coap_register_pong_handler() function defines a handler for tracking receipt of CoAP
ping response traffic associated with the context. If handler is NULL, then the handler is
de-registered.
The handler function prototype is defined as:
typedef void (*coap_pong_handler_t)(coap_context_t *context,
coap_session_t *session,
coap_pdu_t *received,
const coap_tid_t id);
The coap_register_event_handler() function defines a handler for tracking (D)TLS events
associated with the context. If handler is NULL, then the handler is de-registered.
The handler function prototype is defined as:
typedef void (*coap_event_handler_t)(coap_context_t *context,
coap_event_t event,
coap_session_t *session);
Events can be one of the following
/**
* (D)TLS events for COAP_PROTO_DTLS and COAP_PROTO_TLS
*/
COAP_EVENT_DTLS_CLOSED 0x0000
COAP_EVENT_DTLS_CONNECTED 0x01DE
COAP_EVENT_DTLS_RENEGOTIATE 0x01DF
COAP_EVENT_DTLS_ERROR 0x0200
/**
* TCP events for COAP_PROTO_TCP and COAP_PROTO_TLS
*/
COAP_EVENT_TCP_CONNECTED 0x1001
COAP_EVENT_TCP_CLOSED 0x1002
COAP_EVENT_TCP_FAILED 0x1003
/**
* CSM exchange events for reliable protocols only
*/
COAP_EVENT_SESSION_CONNECTED 0x2001
COAP_EVENT_SESSION_CLOSED 0x2002
COAP_EVENT_SESSION_FAILED 0x2003
