Detailed Description

<<extension>> Stores name/value (string) pairs that can be used to configure certain parameters of RTI Connext that are not exposed through formal QoS policies. Can also be used to store and propagate application-specific name/value pairs that can be retrieved by user code during discovery.

RTI Connext will automatically set some system properties in the DDS_PropertyQosPolicy associated with a DDS_DomainParticipantQos. See System Properties for additional details.

Function Documentation

static DDS_Long DDSPropertyQosPolicyHelper::get_number_of_properties ( DDS_PropertyQosPolicy policy)
static

Gets the number of properties in the input policy.

Precondition
policy cannot be NULL.
Parameters
policy<<in>> Input policy.
Returns
Number of properties.
static DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSPropertyQosPolicyHelper::assert_property ( DDS_PropertyQosPolicy policy,
const char *  name,
const char *  value,
DDS_Boolean  propagate 
)
static

Asserts the property identified by name in the input policy.

If the property already exists, this function replaces its current value with the new one.

If the property identified by name does not exist, this function adds it to the property set.

This function increases the maximum number of elements of the policy sequence when this number is not enough to store the new property.

Precondition
policy, name and value cannot be NULL.
Parameters
policy<<in>> Input policy.
name<<in>> Property name.
value<<in>> Property value.
propagate<<in>> Indicates if the property will be propagated on discovery.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes or DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.
static DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSPropertyQosPolicyHelper::add_property ( DDS_PropertyQosPolicy policy,
const char *  name,
const char *  value,
DDS_Boolean  propagate 
)
static

Adds a new property to the input policy.

This function will allocate memory to store the (name,value) pair. The memory allocated is owned by RTI Connext.

If the maximum number of elements of the policy sequence is not enough to store the new property, this function will increase it.

If the property already exists the function fails with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

Precondition
policy, name and value cannot be NULL.
The property is not in the policy.
Parameters
policy<<in>> Input policy.
name<<in>> Property name.
value<<in>> Property value.
propagate<<in>> Indicates if the property will be propagated on discovery.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes or DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES or DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET
static struct DDS_Property_t* DDSPropertyQosPolicyHelper::lookup_property ( DDS_PropertyQosPolicy policy,
const char *  name 
)
staticread

Searches for a property in the input policy given its name.

Precondition
policy, name and value cannot be NULL.
Parameters
policy<<in>> Input policy.
name<<in>> Property name.
Returns
On success, the function returns the first property with the given name. Otherwise, the function returns NULL.
static DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSPropertyQosPolicyHelper::remove_property ( DDS_PropertyQosPolicy policy,
const char *  name 
)
static

Removes a property from the input policy.

If the property does not exist, the function fails with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

Precondition
policy and name cannot be NULL.
The property is in the policy.
Parameters
policy<<in>> Input policy.
name<<in>> Property name.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes or DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.
static DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSPropertyQosPolicyHelper::get_properties ( DDS_PropertyQosPolicy policy,
struct DDS_PropertySeq properties,
const char *  name_prefix 
)
static

Retrieves a list of properties whose names match the input prefix.

If the properties sequence doesn't own its buffer, and its maximum is less than the total number of properties matching the input prefix, it will be filled up to its maximum and fail with an error of DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.

Precondition
policy, properties and name_prefix cannot be NULL.
Parameters
policy<<in>> Input policy.
properties<<inout>> A DDS_PropertySeq object where the set or list of properties will be returned.
name_prefixName prefix.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes or DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.
