TERM_ATTACH_MEM(3) libdill Library Functions TERM_ATTACH_MEM(3) NAME term_attach_mem - creates TERM protocol on top of underlying socket SYNOPSIS #include <libdill.h> int term_attach_mem( int s, const void* buf, size_t len, struct term_storage* mem, int64_t deadline); DESCRIPTION TERM is a protocol that implements clean terminal handshake between peers. When creating the protocol instance user specifies the terminal message to use. When closing the protocol, terminal messages are ex- changed between peers in both directions. After the protocol shuts down the peers agree on their position in the message stream. This function instantiates TERM protocol on top of the underlying pro- tocol. This function allows to avoid one dynamic memory allocation by storing the object in user-supplied memory. Unless you are hyper-optimizing use term_attach instead. s: Handle of the underlying socket. It must be a message protocol. buf: The terminal message. len: Size of the terminal message, in bytes. mem: The structure to store the newly created object in. It must not be deallocated before the object is closed. deadline: A point in time when the operation should time out, in mil- liseconds. Use the now function to get your current point in time. 0 means immediate timeout, i.e., perform the operation if possible or re- turn without blocking if not. -1 means no deadline, i.e., the call will block forever if the operation cannot be performed. The socket can be cleanly shut down using term_detach function. This function is not available if libdill is compiled with --dis- able-sockets option. RETURN VALUE In case of success the function returns newly created socket handle. In case of error it returns -1 and sets errno to one of the values be- low. ERRORS • EBADF: Invalid handle. • ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled. • EMFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the process are al- ready open. • ENFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the system are al- ready open. • ENOMEM: Not enough memory. • ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation. • EPROTO: Underlying socket is not a message socket. • ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached. EXAMPLE s = term_attach(s, "STOP", 4); ... /* Send terminal message to the peer. */ term_done(s, -1); /* Process remaining inbound messages. */ while(1) { char buf[256]; ssize_t sz = mrecv(s, buf, sizeof(buf), -1); /* Check whether terminal message was received from the peer. */ if(sz < 0 && errno == EPIPE) break; frobnicate(buff, sz); } s = term_detach(s); SEE ALSO hclose(3) mrecv(3) mrecvl(3) msend(3) msendl(3) now(3) term_attach(3) term_detach(3) term_done(3) libdill TERM_ATTACH_MEM(3)
