◆ enable()

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable ( )

static

Enable Network Capture.

This method must be called before any other Network Capture method. It must also be called before creating the participants for which we want to capture traffic.

Use this method only for debugging purposes, since it may introduce a significant performance impact.

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to call this method while another thread may be simultaneously calling another Network Caputre related method, including this one.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. In VxWorks, it is unsafe to call this method while another thread may be simulatenously calling DDSDomainParticipantFactory::get_instance, DDSDomainParticipantFactory::finalize_instance, DDS_TypeCodeFactory::get_instance, NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable, or NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::disable.

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::disable

◆ disable()

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::disable ( )

static

Disable Network Capture.

This method must be the last Network Capture method to be called. It must also be called after deleting the participants for which we captured traffic. Disabling Network Capture without stopping it first is not ok!

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

◆ set_default_params()

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::set_default_params ( const NDDS_Utility_NetworkCaptureParams_t & params )

static

Set the default Network Capture parameters.

The default parameters are used when Network Capture is started without parameters, i.e., NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start.

Precondition: This method requires first enabling Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Parameters

params <<in>>. Configuration parameters that we want to set as defaults.

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start; NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start(DDSDomainParticipant *, const char *)

◆ start() [1/4]

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start ( const char * filename )

static

Start capturing traffic for all DomainParticipants, with the default parameters.

Precondition: This method requires first enabling Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Parameters

filename <<in>>. The name of the output capture file will be based on this input parameter.

In particular, the name for the capture file is the concatenation of the filename input parameter, the "_GUID-" string followed by the decimal representation of bytes 8-11 of the DomainParticipant's GUID, and the file extension (".pcap").

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::stop; NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start(DDSDomainParticipant *, const char *)

◆ start() [2/4]

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start	(	DDSDomainParticipant *	participant,
		const char *	filename
	)

static

Start capturing traffic for a DomainParticipant, with the default parameters.

Precondition: This method requires first enabling Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Parameters

participant	<<in>>. DomainParticipant for which we want to capture traffic.
filename	<<in>>. The name of the output capture file will be based on this input parameter.

In particular, the name for the capture file is the concatenation of the filename input parameter, and the file extension (".pcap").

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::stop(DDSDomainParticipant *); NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start(DDSDomainParticipant *, const char *, const NDDS_Utility_NetworkCaptureParams_t&); NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable

◆ start() [3/4]

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start	(	const char *	filename,
		const NDDS_Utility_NetworkCaptureParams_t &	params
	)

static

Start capturing traffic for all DomainParticipants, with the provided parameters.

Precondition: This method requires first enabling Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Perfoms the same function as NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start except that it uses the provided parameters, instead of the default ones.

Parameters

filename <<in>>. The name of the output capture file will be based on this input parameter.

In particular, the name for the capture file is the concatenation of the filename input parameter, the "_GUID-" string followed by the decimal representation of bytes 8-11 of the DomainParticipant's GUID, and the file extension (".pcap").

Parameters

params <<in>>. Configuration parameters for the capture.

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::stop; NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start(DDSDomainParticipant *, const char *, const NDDS_Utility_NetworkCaptureParams_t&)

◆ start() [4/4]

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start	(	DDSDomainParticipant *	participant,
		const char *	filename,
		const NDDS_Utility_NetworkCaptureParams_t &	params
	)

static

Start capturing traffic for a DomainParticipant, with the provided parameters.

Precondition: This method requires enabling first Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Parameters

participant	<<in>>. DomainParticipant for which we want to capture traffic.
filename	<<in>>. The name of the output capture file will be based on this input parameter.

In particular, the name for the capture file is the concatenation of the filename input parameter, and the file extension (".pcap").

Parameters

params <<in>>. Parameters for configuring the capture.

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::stop(DDSDomainParticipant *); NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start(DDSDomainParticipant *, const char *)

◆ stop() [1/2]

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::stop ( )

static

Stop capturing traffic for all participants.

Precondition: This method requires enabling first Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

This method can (and must) be called after NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start, not NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start(DDSDomainParticipant *, const char *). That is, if we start capturing traffic globally (for all DomainParticipants), we must stop capturing traffic also globally. It is not possible to start capturing traffic for a participant but stop it globally.

It is possible to start capturing globally and then stop capturing for a participant, as long as we eventually stop capturing traffic globally.

We must stop capturing for a participant before deleting it.

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start; NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::stop(DDSDomainParticipant *)

◆ stop() [2/2]

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::stop ( DDSDomainParticipant * participant )

static

Stop capturing traffic for a DomainParticipant.

Precondition: This method requires first enabling Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Parameters

participant <<in>>. DomainParticipant for which we want to stop capturing traffic.

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::start(DDSDomainParticipant *, const char *); NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::stop

◆ pause() [1/2]

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::pause ( )

static

Pause capturing traffic for all DomainParticipants.

Precondition: This method requires first enabling Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::resume; NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::pause(DDSDomainParticipant *)

◆ pause() [2/2]

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::pause ( DDSDomainParticipant * participant )

static

Pause capturing traffic for a DomainParticipant.

Precondition: This method requires first enabling Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Parameters

participant <<in>>. DomainParticipant for which we want to pause capturing traffic.

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::resume(DDSDomainParticipant *); NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::pause

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::resume ( )

static

Resume capturing traffic for all DomainParticipants.

Precondition: This method requires first enabling Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Returns: DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE if success. Otherwise, DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE

See also: NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::pause; NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::resume(DDSDomainParticipant *)

◆ resume() [2/2]

static DDS_Boolean NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::resume ( DDSDomainParticipant * participant )

static

Resume capturing traffic for a DomainParticipant.

Precondition: This method requires first enabling Network Capture. See NDDSUtilityNetworkCapture::enable.

Parameters
