Server IPC API.

This callback is to check wether you want to accept a new connection. The type of checks you should do are authentication, service availabilty or process resource constraints.

Returns:

0 to accept or -errno to indicate a failure (sent back to the client)

Note:

you can call qb_ipcs_connection_auth_set() within this function.

This is called after a connection has been disconnected.

Note:

if you return anything but 0 this function will be repeativily called (until 0 is returned).

This is called after a new connection has been created.

This is called just before a connection is freed.

This is the message processing calback. It is called with the message data.

Enumerator

Set the permissions on and shared memory files so that both processes can read and write to them.

Parameters:

conn connection instance
uid the user id to set.
gid the group id to set.
mode the mode to set.

See Also:

chmod() chown()

Note:

this must be called within the qb_ipcs_connection_accept_fn() callback.

qb_ipcs_connection_t* qb_ipcs_connection_first_get (qb_ipcs_service_t *pt)

Get the first connection.

Note:

call qb_ipcs_connection_unref() after using the connection.

Parameters:

pt service instance

Returns:

first connection

qb_ipcs_connection_t* qb_ipcs_connection_next_get (qb_ipcs_service_t *pt, qb_ipcs_connection_t *current)

Get the next connection.

Note:

call qb_ipcs_connection_unref() after using the connection.

Parameters:

pt service instance
current current connection

Returns:

next connection

Increment the connection's reference counter.

Parameters:

c connection instance

Get the context previously set on the service backing this connection.

Parameters:

c connection instance

Returns:

the context

See Also:

qb_ipcs_service_context_set

Get the connection statistics.

Deprecated

from v0.13.0 onwards, use qb_ipcs_connection_stats_get_2

Parameters:

stats (out) the statistics structure
clear_after_read clear stats after copying them into stats
c connection instance

Returns:

0 == ok; -errno to indicate a failure

Get (and allocate) the connection statistics.

Parameters:

clear_after_read clear stats after copying them into stats
c connection instance

Return values:

NULL if no memory or invalid connection
allocated statistics structure (user must free it).

Decrement the connection's reference counter.

Parameters:

c connection instance

Get the context (set previously)

Parameters:

c connection instance

Returns:

the context

See Also:

qb_ipcs_context_set()

Associate a 'user' pointer with this connection.

Parameters:

c connection instance

See Also:

qb_ipcs_context_get()

qb_ipcs_service_t* qb_ipcs_create (const char *name, int32_tservice_id, enum qb_ipc_typetype, struct qb_ipcs_service_handlers *handlers)

Create a new IPC server.

Parameters:

name for clients to connect to.
service_id an integer to associate with the service
type transport type.
handlers callbacks.

Returns:

the new service instance.

Destroy the IPC server.

Parameters:

s service instance to destroy

Disconnect from this client.

Parameters:

c connection instance

Send an asyncronous event message to the client.

Parameters:

c connection instance
data the message to send
size the size of the message

Returns:

size sent or -errno for errors

Note:

the data must include a qb_ipc_response_header at the top of the message. The client will read the size field to determine how much to recv.

Send an asyncronous event message to the client.

Parameters:

c connection instance
iov the iovec struct that points to the message to send
iov_len the number of iovecs.

Returns:

size sent or -errno for errors

Note:

the iov[0] must be a qb_ipc_response_header. The client will read the size field to determine how much to recv.

Set your poll callbacks.

Parameters:

s service instance
handlers the handlers that you want ipcs to use.

Increase the reference counter on the service object.

Parameters:

s service instance

Limit the incomming request rate.

Parameters:

s service instance
rl the new rate

Send a response to a incomming request.

Parameters:

c connection instance
data the message to send
size the size of the message

Returns:

size sent or -errno for errors

Note:

the data must include a qb_ipc_response_header at the top of the message. The client will read the size field to determine how much to recv.

Send a response to a incomming request.

Parameters:

c connection instance
iov the iovec struct that points to the message to send
iov_len the number of iovecs.

Returns:

size sent or -errno for errors

Note:

the iov[0] must be a qb_ipc_response_header. The client will read the size field to determine how much to recv.

run the new IPC server.

Parameters:

s service instance

Returns:

0 == ok; -errno to indicate a failure. Service is destroyed on failure.

See Also:

qb_ipcs_service_context_get()

Get the service id related to this connection's service. (as passed into qb_ipcs_create()

Returns:

service id.

Parameters:

stats (out) the statistics structure
