Detailed Description

Abstract System API.

The System is defined as the physical or virtual execution environment and implements functions that are not necessarily provided by the operating system. For example, a custom embedded board may include a special real-time clock which is synchronized via GPS, but is not available via a regular OS system call.

Function Documentation

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_set_interface ( struct OSAPI_SystemI * intf )

Set system interface.

This function sets the system interface, overriding the current system interface.

Parameters:

[in] intf - The new system interface

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_get_interface ( struct OSAPI_SystemI * intf )

Get the current system interface.

This function returns the current system interface

Parameters:

[out] intf - The current system interface

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_set_listener ( struct OSAPI_SystemListener * listener )

Install a system listeners.

The system listeners are called during the life-time of the system. Only listeners which are non-NULL are called, thus it is ok to install a partially set listener structure. System listeners can be installed until the system has been initialized by calling OSAPI_System_initialize. This function is not considered thread-safe. The listener value should always be initialized with OSAPI_SystemListener_DEFAULT before use.

Parameters:

[in] listener System listeners to call

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_get_listener ( struct OSAPI_SystemListener * listener )

Get current system listeners.

Return the current set of system listeners. This function is not thread-safe.

Parameters:

[in] listener System listener structure to fill in.

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_generate_uuid ( struct OSAPI_SystemUUID * uuid_out )

Generate a unique universal identifier (UUID)

Parameters:

[out] uuid_out The generated UUID value

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_get_time ( OSAPI_NtpTime * now )

Get the current system time.

In general, the system time is used by components to correlate both internal and external events, such as data reception and ordering. Thus, it is recommended that this function returns the real time. However, it is not strictly required.

Notes:

It is assumed that the time returned by get_time is monotonically increasing. It is up to the implementation of this function to ensure this holds true.
It is ok to return the same time as the last call.
The clock used to report real-time can be different than the clock used to support start_timer and stop_timer.

Parameters:

[out] now Time in NtpTime format.

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

Precondition:: Initialized system.

Exceptions:

None.

RTI_INT32 OSAPI_System_get_timer_resolution ( void )

Get the resolution of the clock driving the timer in nano seconds.

This function must return the frequency of the system timer used to implement OSAPI_SystemI::start_timer and OSAPI_SystemI::stop_timer API.

Returns:: timer resolution in nanoseconds.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_start_timer	(	OSAPI_Timer_T	self,
		OSAPI_TimerTickHandlerFunction	tick_handler
	)

Start the timer.

Parameters:

[in]	self	Timer object.
[in]	tick_handler	Timer handle.

Precondition:: Initialized system.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_stop_timer ( OSAPI_Timer_T self )

Stop the timer.

Parameters:

[in] self Timer

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

Precondition:: Initialized system.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_initialize ( void )

Initialize the system.

This function initializes the system and calls the port specific initialize method first. The port specific initialization method must return RTI_TRUE on success and RTI_FALSE on failure. A system can only be initialized once.

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_finalize ( void )

Finalize the system.

This function finalizes the system and calls the port specific finalize method last. The port specific initialization method must return RTI_TRUE on success and RTI_FALSE on failure.

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_get_property ( struct OSAPI_SystemProperty * property )

Get the system properties.

Parameters:

[out] property

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_set_property ( struct OSAPI_SystemProperty * property )

Set the system properties.

The system properties can be set until the system is initialized by calling OSAPI_System_initialize()

Parameters:

[in] property

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

void OSAPI_System_get_native_interface ( struct OSAPI_SystemI * intf )

Get the native system interface.

This function must fill in the interface structure and assign the following methods:

Parameters:

[out] intf The native system interface

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_get_hostname ( char *const hostname )

Get the hostname.

Get the hostname

Parameters:

[out] hostname The buffer to store the hostname. Must be at least OSAPI_SYSTEM_MAX_HOSTNAME bytes. If the actual hostname is longer than OSAPI_SYSTEM_MAX_HOSTNAME bytes (including \0) the hostname is truncated.

Precondition:: Initialized system.

Exceptions:

None.

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

MT Safety:: SAFE

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_System_get_ticktime	(	RTI_INT32 *	sec,
		RTI_UINT32 *	nanosec
	)

Get current tick time.

The ticktime is a time measurement used by Micro to determine how much time has elapsed in a period. It does not have to be an absolute time, but it must be monotonically increasing. For this reason it is important to choose the time source with care. For example, the system time may mbe adjusted backward or forward and this could affect the measure time lapse. The resolution of the tick time is expected to be no less than the system timer, although it is not a requirement.

Parameters:

[out]	sec	The current ticktime in seconds
[out]	nanosec	Additional nanoseconds in the current ticktime

Precondition:: Initialized system.

Returns:: RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure.

OSAPI_Semaphore_T* OSAPI_System_get_thread_semaphore ( void )

Get a semaphore to suspend a thread.

Returns:: A semaphore on success, NULL on failure.

void OSAPI_System_return_thread_semaphore ( OSAPI_Semaphore_T * sem )

Return a semaphore acquired with OSAPI_System_get_thread_semaphore.

Parameters:

[in] sem Semaphore to return
