Macro Definition Documentation

#define DDS_DomainParticipantListener_INITIALIZER

<<cert>> Initializer for new DDS_DomainParticipantListener.

No memory is allocated. New DDS_DomainParticipantListener instances stored in the stack should be initialized with this value before they are passed to any functions.

 DDS_DomainParticipantListener listener = DDS_DomainParticipantListener_INITIALIZER;
  /* initialize listener functions */ 
  listener.as_subscriberlistener.as_datareaderlistener.on_data_available = ....; 
  DDS_DomainParticipant_set_listener(myParticipant, &listener, mask);

See also:: DDS_DomainParticipant_set_listener; DDS_DomainParticipantListener

#define DDS_DomainParticipantQos_INITIALIZER

<<cert>> Initializer for new QoS instances.

DDS_DomainParticipantQos instances stored on the stack should be initialized with this value before they are passed to any functions. This step ensures that those contained QoS policies that use dynamic memory are properly initialized. This does not allocate memory.

The simplest way to create a new QoS structure is to initialize it on the stack at the time of its creation:

DDS_DomainParticipantQos myQos = DDS_DomainParticipantQos_INITIALIZER;

See also:: DDS_DomainParticipantQos_finalize

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct DDS_DomainParticipantImpl DDS_DomainParticipant

<<interface>> <<cert>> Container for all DDS_DomainEntity objects.

The DomainParticipant object plays several roles:

- It acts as a container for all other DDS_Entity objects.

- It acts as factory for the DDS_Publisher, DDS_Subscriber, DDS_Topic and DDS_Entity objects.

- It represents the participation of the application on a communication plane that isolates applications running on the same set of physical computers from each other. A domain establishes a virtual network linking all applications that share the same domainId and isolating them from applications running on different domains. In this way, several independent distributed applications can coexist in the same physical network without interfering, or even being aware of each other.

The following operations may be called even if the DDS_DomainParticipant is not enabled. Other operations will fail with the value DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED if called on a disabled DomainParticipant:

Operations defined at the base-class level namely, set_qos(), get_qos(), set_listener(), get_listener(), and enable().
Factory operations: create_topic(), create_publisher(), create_subscriber(), delete_topic(), delete_publisher(), delete_subscriber(), delete_contained_entities().

Function Documentation

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipantQos_initialize ( struct DDS_DomainParticipantQos * self )

Initializer for new QoS instances.

DDS_DomainParticipantQos instances on heap should be initialized with this function before they are passed to any functions. This step ensures that those contained QoS policies that use dynamic memory are properly initialized. This function does not allocate memory.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:: DDS_DomainParticipantQos_finalize

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipantQos_copy	(	struct DDS_DomainParticipantQos *	self,
		const struct DDS_DomainParticipantQos *	source
	)

Copy the contents of the given QoS into this QoS.

DDS_DomainParticipantQos instances can use dynamic memory because of the sequences contained in some QoS policies. A shallow copy by assignment is therefore unsafe. This function performs a deep-copy, allocating memory if necessary.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
source	<<in>>. QoS to be copied from.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:: DDS_DomainParticipantQos_INITIALIZER; DDS_DomainParticipantQos_initialize; DDS_DomainParticipantQos_finalize

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipantQos_finalize ( struct DDS_DomainParticipantQos * self )

Free any dynamic memory allocated by the policies in this DDS_DomainParticipantQos.

Some QoS policies may use dynamic memory (regardless of whether the QoS itself is in dynamic memory). This function frees that memory but otherwise leaves this QoS unchanged. It should be called on all instances before they are freed (or, in the case of stack-based instances, before they go out of scope).

This function does not leave this object in an invalid state. It is permissable to finalize a QoS and then subsequently allocate new dynamic memory in one or more of its QoS policies.

Note that if this QoS instance is stored in heap memory, calling this function will not call free() on it; the user is responsible for explicitly freeing any heap-based QoS instance after calling this function.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:: DDS_DomainParticipantQos_INITIALIZER; DDS_DomainParticipantQos_initialize

DDS_Entity* DDS_DomainParticipant_as_entity ( DDS_DomainParticipant * domain )

<<cert>> Access a DDS_DomainParticipant's supertype instance.

Parameters:

domain <<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: DDS_DomainParticipant's supertype DDS_Entity instance

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_get_default_publisher_qos	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		struct DDS_PublisherQos *	qos
	)

Copy the default DDS_PublisherQos values into the provided DDS_PublisherQos instance.

The retrieved qos will match the set of values specified on the last successful call to DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_publisher_qos, or else, if the call was never made, the default values listed in DDS_PublisherQos.

This function may potentially allocate memory depending on the sequences contained in some QoS policies.

If DDS_PUBLISHER_QOS_DEFAULT is specified as the qos parameter when DDS_DomainParticipant_create_topic is called, the default value of the QoS set in the factory, equivalent to the value obtained by calling DDS_DomainParticipant_get_default_publisher_qos, will be used to create the DDS_Publisher.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to retrieve the default QoS value from a domain participant while another thread may be simultaneously calling DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_publisher_qos

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
qos	<<inout>> Qos to be filled up. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:: DDS_PUBLISHER_QOS_DEFAULT; DDS_DomainParticipant_create_publisher

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_publisher_qos	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const struct DDS_PublisherQos *	qos
	)

Set the default DDS_PublisherQos values for this domain participant.

This default value will be used for newly created DDS_Publisher if DDS_PUBLISHER_QOS_DEFAULT is specified as the qos parameter when DDS_DomainParticipant_create_publisher is called.

Precondition:: The specified QoS policies must be consistent, or else the operation will have no effect and fail with DDS_RETCODE_INCONSISTENT_POLICY

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to retrieve the default QoS value from a domain participant while another thread may be simultaneously calling DDS_DomainParticipant_get_default_publisher_qos or calling DDS_DomainParticipant_create_publisher with DDS_PUBLISHER_QOS_DEFAULT as the qos parameter.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
qos	<<in>> Default qos to be set. The special value DDS_PUBLISHER_QOS_DEFAULT may be passed as `qos` to indicate that the default QoS should be reset back to the initial values the factory would used if DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_publisher_qos had never been called. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_INCONSISTENT_POLICY

See also:: DDS_PUBLISHER_QOS_DEFAULT; DDS_DomainParticipant_create_publisher

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_get_default_subscriber_qos	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,

The retrieved qos will match the set of values specified on the last successful call to DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_subscriber_qos, or else, if the call was never made, the default values listed in DDS_SubscriberQos.

This function may potentially allocate memory depending on the sequences contained in some QoS policies.

If DDS_SUBSCRIBER_QOS_DEFAULT is specified as the qos parameter when DDS_DomainParticipant_create_subscriber is called, the default value of the QoS set in the factory, equivalent to the value obtained by calling DDS_DomainParticipant_get_default_subscriber_qos, will be used to create the DDS_Subscriber.

		DDS_Topic *	topic
	)

Deletes a DDS_Topic.

Precondition:: If the DDS_Topic does not belong to the application's DDS_DomainParticipant, this operation fails with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.; Make sure no objects are using the topic. More specifically, there must be no existing DDS_DataReader, or DDS_DataWriter, objects belonging to the same DDS_DomainParticipant that are using the DDS_Topic. If delete_topic is called on a DDS_Topic with any of these existing objects attached to it, it will fail with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

Postcondition:: Listener installed on the DDS_Topic will not be called after this function completes successfully.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
topic	<<in>> DDS_Topic to be deleted.

DDS_Topic* DDS_DomainParticipant_find_topic	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const char *	topic_name,
		const struct DDS_Duration_t *	timeout
	)

Finds an existing (or ready to exist) DDS_Topic, based on its name.

If a DDS_Topic of the same name already exists, it gives access to it, otherwise it waits until either another mechanism creates it, or else completes when the specified timeout occurs.

		const char *	topic_name
	)

<<cert>> Lookup an existing locally-created DDS_TopicDescription, based on its name.

The returned topic can either be enabled or disabled.

The operation DDS_DomainParticipant_lookup_topicdescription searches among the locally created topics and returns a pointer to a DDS_TopicDescription. It is possible to delete the DDS_TopicDescription returned by DDS_DomainParticipant_lookup_topicdescription, provided it has no readers or writers, but then it is really deleted and subsequent lookups will fail.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to lookup a topic description while another thread is creating that topic.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
topic_name	<<in>> Name of DDS_TopicDescription to search for. This string must be no more than 255 characters. Cannot be NULL.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
publisher_name	<<in>> Entity name of the DDS_Publisher. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: The first DDS_Publisher found with the specified name or NULL if it is not found.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to lookup a DDS_Publisher in one thread while another thread is simultaneously creating or destroying that DDS_Publisher.

DDS_Subscriber* DDS_DomainParticipant_lookup_subscriber_by_name	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const char *	subscriber_name
	)

<<cert>> Retrieves a DDS_Subscriber by its entity name within this DDS_DomainParticipant

This returned DDS_Subscriber is either enabled or disabled.

Every DDS_Subscriber in the system has an entity name which is configured and stored in the EntityName policy, ENTITY_NAME.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
subscriber_name	<<in>> Entity name of the DDS_Subscriber. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: The first DDS_Subscriber found with the specified name or NULL if it is not found.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to lookup a DDS_Subscriber in one thread while another thread is simultaneously creating or destroying that DDS_Subscriber.

DDS_DataWriter* DDS_DomainParticipant_lookup_datawriter_by_name	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const char *	datawriter_full_name
	)

<<cert>> Retrieves a DDS_DataWriter by its entity name within this DDS_DomainParticipant

This returned DDS_DataWriter is either enabled or disabled.

Every DDS_DataWriter in the system has an entity name which is configured and stored in the EntityName policy, ENTITY_NAME.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
datawriter_full_name	<<in>> Entity name of the DDS_DataWriter. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: The first DDS_DataWriter found with the specified name or NULL if it is not found.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to lookup a DDS_DataWriter in one thread while another thread is simultaneously creating or destroying that DDS_DataWriter.

DDS_DataReader* DDS_DomainParticipant_lookup_datareader_by_name	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const char *	datareader_full_name
	)

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
datareader_full_name	<<in>> Entity name of the DDS_DataReader. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: The first DDS_DataReader found with the specified name or NULL if it is not found.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to lookup a DDS_DataReader in one thread while another thread is simultaneously creating or destroying that DDS_DataReader.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_add_peer	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const char *	peer
	)

<<eXtension>> <<cert>> Attempt to contact one or more additional peer participants.

Add the given peer description to the list of peers with which this DDS_DomainParticipant will try to communicate.

This function may be called at any time after this DDS_DomainParticipant has been created, before or after it has been enabled. If it is called after DDS_Entity_enable, an attempt will be made to contact the new peer(s) immediately. If it is called before, the peer description will simply be added to the list that was populated by DDS_DiscoveryQosPolicy::initial_peers; the first attempted contact will take place after this DDS_DomainParticipant is enabled.

Adding a peer description with this function does not guarantee that any peer(s) discovered as a result will exactly correspond to those described:

This DDS_DomainParticipant will attempt to discover peer participants at the given locations but may not succeed if no such participants are available. Such a situation will not result in an error result from this function, which will not wait for contact attempt(s) to be made.
If remote participants such as are described by the given peer description are discovered, the distributed application is configured with asymmetric peer lists, and DDS_DiscoveryQosPolicy::accept_unknown_peers is set to DDS_BOOLEAN_TRUE this DDS_DomainParticipant may actually discover more peers than are described in the given peer description.

Adding a peer description with this function has no effect on the DDS_DiscoveryQosPolicy::initial_peers that may be subsequently retrieved with DDS_DomainParticipant_get_qos() (because DDS_DiscoveryQosPolicy is immutable).

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
peer	<<in>> New peer descriptor to be added. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:: DDS_DiscoveryQosPolicy::initial_peers; DDS_PARTICIPANT_TOPIC_NAME

DDS_DomainId_t DDS_DomainParticipant_get_domain_id ( DDS_DomainParticipant * self )

<<cert>> Get the unique domain identifier.

This operation retrieves the domain_id used to create the DDS_DomainParticipant. The domain_id identifies the DDS domain to which the DDS_DomainParticipant belongs. Each DDS domain represents a separate data 'communication plane' isolated from other domains.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: the unique domainId that was used to create the domain

See also:: DDS_DomainParticipantFactory_create_participant

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_assert_liveliness ( DDS_DomainParticipant * self )

Manually asserts the liveliness of this DDS_DomainParticipant.

This is used in combination with the DDS_LivelinessQosPolicy to indicate to RTI Connext DDS Micro that the entity remains active.

You need to use this operation if the DDS_DomainParticipant cointains DDS_DataWriter entities with the DDS_LivelinessQosPolicy::kind set to DDS_MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT_LIVELINESS_QOS and it only affects the liveliness of those DDS_DataWriter entities. Otherwise, it has no effect.

Note: writing data via the FooDataWriter_write or FooDataWriter_write_w_timestamp operation asserts liveliness on the DDS_DataWriter itself and its DDS_DomainParticipant. Consequently the use of assert_liveliness() is only needed if the application is not writing data regularly.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED

See also:: DDS_LivelinessQosPolicy

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_delete_contained_entities ( DDS_DomainParticipant * self )

Delete all the entities that were created by means of the "create" operations on the DDS_DomainParticipant.

This operation deletes all contained DDS_Publisher, DDS_Subscriber, and DDS_Topic.

Prior to deleting each contained entity, this operation will recursively call the corresponding delete_contained_entities operation on each contained entity (if applicable). This pattern is applied recursively. In this manner the operation delete_contained_entities() on the DDS_DomainParticipant will end up deleting all the entities recursively contained in the DDS_DomainParticipant, that is also the DDS_DataWriter, and DDS_DataReader.

The operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET if any of the contained entities is in a state where it cannot be deleted.

If delete_contained_entities() completes successfully, the application may delete the DDS_DomainParticipant knowing that it has no contained entities.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_get_current_time	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		struct DDS_Time_t *	current_time
	)

<<cert>> Returns the current value of the time.

The current value of the time that RTI Connext DDS Micro uses to time-stamp DDS_DataWriter and to set the reception-timestamp for the data updates that it receives.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
current_time	<<inout>> Current time to be filled up. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_get_discovered_participants	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		struct DDS_InstanceHandleSeq *	participant_handles
	)

Returns a sequence containing DDS_InstanceHandle_t for all the remote DDS_DomainParticipant that have been discovered by the DDS_DomainParticipant.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
participant_handles	<<out>> sequence of DDS_InstanceHandle_t where the result will be stored.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_get_discovered_participant_data	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		struct DDS_ParticipantBuiltinTopicData *	participant_data,
		const DDS_InstanceHandle_t *	participant_handle
	)

Returns information about a remote DDS_DomainParticipant that has been discovered by the DDS_DomainParticipant.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
participant_data	<<out>> information about the remote DDS_DomainParticipant.
participant_handle	<<in>> DDS_InstanceHandle_t identifying the remote DDS_DomainParticipant.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_set_qos	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const struct DDS_DomainParticipantQos *	qos
	)

Change the QoS of this domain participant.

The DDS_DomainParticipantQos::entity_factory can be changed. The other policies are immutable.

Parameters:

self <<in>> Cannot be NULL.

qos <<in>> Set of policies to be applied to DDS_DomainParticipant. Policies must be consistent. Immutable policies cannot be changed after DDS_DomainParticipant is enabled. The special value DDS_PARTICIPANT_QOS_DEFAULT can be used to indicate that the QoS of the DDS_DomainParticipant should be changed to match the current default DDS_DomainParticipantQos set in the DDS_DomainParticipantFactory. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_IMMUTABLE_POLICY if immutable policy is changed, or DDS_RETCODE_INCONSISTENT_POLICY if policies are inconsistent

See also:: DDS_DomainParticipantQos for rules on consistency among QoS; set_qos (abstract)

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_get_qos	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		struct DDS_DomainParticipantQos *	qos
	)

Get the participant QoS.

This function may potentially allocate memory depending on the sequences contained in some QoS policies.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
qos	<<inout>> QoS to be filled up. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:: get_qos (abstract)

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_set_listener	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const struct DDS_DomainParticipantListener *	listener,
		DDS_StatusMask	mask
	)

Sets the participant listener.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
listener	<<in>> Listener to be installed on entity.
mask	<<in>> Changes of communication status to be invoked on the listener. The callback function on the listener cannot be NULL if the corresponding status is turned on in the `mask`.

MT Safety:: Unsafe. This function is not synchronized with the listener callbacks, so it is possible to set a new listener on a participant when the old listener is in a callback.

Once a participant has been enabled, it is therefore important that the listener not be changed unless some application-specific means are available of ensuring that the old listener cannot be concurrently in use. If this contract is violated, it is possible for the DDS_Listener::listener_data field to have been changed without the callback function pointers having been changed (or vica versa); callback functions may therefore be passed an incorrect DDS_Listener::listener_data value.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:: set_listener (abstract)

struct DDS_DomainParticipantListener DDS_DomainParticipant_get_listener ( DDS_DomainParticipant * self )

read

Get the participant listener.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: Existing listener attached to the DDS_DomainParticipant.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_register_type	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	participant,
		const char *	type_name,
		struct DDS_TypePluginI *	plugin
	)

<<eXtension>> <<cert>> Allows an application to communicate to RTI Connext DDS Micro the existence of a data type.

The generated implementation of the operation embeds all the knowledge that has to be communicated to the middleware in order to make it able to manage the contents of data of that type. This includes in particular the key definition that will allow RTI Connext DDS Micro to distinguish different instances of the same type.

The same NDDS_Type_Plugin can be registered multiple times with a DDS_DomainParticipant using the same or different values for the type_name. If register_type is called multiple times on the same NDDS_Type_Plugin with the same DDS_DomainParticipant and type_name, the second (and subsequent) registrations are ignored by the operation fails with DDS_RETCODE_OK.

Precondition:: Cannot use the same type_name to register two different NDDS_Type_Plugin with the same DDS_DomainParticipant, or else the operation will fail and DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET will be returned.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
type_name	<<in>> the type name under with the data type `Foo` is registered with the participant; this type name is used when creating a new DDS_Topic. (See DDS_DomainParticipant_create_topic.) The name may not be NULL or longer than 255 characters.
plugin	<<in>> the `Foo` type plugin to register the data type with. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET or DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.

See also:: DDS_DomainParticipant_create_topic

struct DDS_TypePluginI* DDS_DomainParticipant_unregister_type	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	participant,
		const char *	type_name
	)

read

Allows an application to unregister a data type from RTI Connext DDS Micro. After calling unregister_type, no further communication using that type is possible.

The generated implementation of the operation removes all the information about a type from RTI Connext DDS Micro. No further communication using that type is possible.

Precondition:: A type with type_name is registered with the participant and all DDS_Topic objects referencing the type have been destroyed. If the type is not registered with the participant, or if any DDS_Topic is associated with the type, the operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_ERROR.

Postcondition:: All information about the type is removed from RTI Connext DDS Micro. No further communication using this type is possible.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
type_name	<<in>> the type name under with the data type `Foo` is registered with the participant. The name should match a name that has been previously used to register a type with the participant. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER or DDS_RETCODE_ERROR

See also:: DDS_DomainParticipant_register_type

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_get_default_flowcontroller_property	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		struct DDS_FlowControllerProperty_t *	prop
	)

<<eXtension>> Copies the default DDS_FlowControllerProperty_t values for this domain participant into the given DDS_FlowControllerProperty_t instance.

The retrieved property will match the set of values specified on the last successful call to DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_flowcontroller_property, or else, if the call was never made, the default values listed in DDS_FlowControllerProperty_t.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to retrieve the default flow controller properties from a DomainParticipant while another thread may be simultaneously calling DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_flowcontroller_property

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
prop	<<in>> Default property to be retrieved. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:: DDS_FLOW_CONTROLLER_PROPERTY_DEFAULT; DDS_DomainParticipant_create_flowcontroller

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_flowcontroller_property	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const struct DDS_FlowControllerProperty_t *	prop
	)

<<eXtension>> Set the default DDS_FlowControllerProperty_t values for this domain participant.

This default value will be used for newly created DDS_FlowController if DDS_FLOW_CONTROLLER_PROPERTY_DEFAULT is specified as the property parameter when DDS_DomainParticipant_create_flowcontroller is called.

Precondition:: The specified property values must be consistent, or else the operation will have no effect and fail with DDS_RETCODE_INCONSISTENT_POLICY

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to set the default flow controller properties for a DomainParticipant while another thread may be simultaneously calling DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_flowcontroller_property , DDS_DomainParticipant_get_default_flowcontroller_property or calling DDS_DomainParticipant_create_flowcontroller with DDS_FLOW_CONTROLLER_PROPERTY_DEFAULT as the qos parameter.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
prop	<<in>> Default property to be set. The special value DDS_FLOW_CONTROLLER_PROPERTY_DEFAULT may be passed as `property` to indicate that the default property should be reset to the default values the factory would use if DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_flowcontroller_property had never been called. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_INCONSISTENT_POLICY

See also:: DDS_FLOW_CONTROLLER_PROPERTY_DEFAULT; DDS_DomainParticipant_create_flowcontroller

DDS_FlowController* DDS_DomainParticipant_create_flowcontroller	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		const char *	name,
		const struct DDS_FlowControllerProperty_t *	prop
	)

<<eXtension>> Creates a DDS_FlowController with the desired property.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. If DDS_FLOW_CONTROLLER_PROPERTY_DEFAULT is used for property, it is not safe to create the flow controller while another thread may be simultaneously calling DDS_DomainParticipant_set_default_flowcontroller_property or trying to lookup that flow controller with DDS_DomainParticipant_lookup_flowcontroller.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
name	<<in>> name of the DDS_FlowController to create. A DDS_DataWriter is associated with a DDS_FlowController by name. Limited to 255 characters.
prop	<<in>> property to be used for creating the new DDS_FlowController. The special value DDS_FLOW_CONTROLLER_PROPERTY_DEFAULT can be used to indicate that the DDS_FlowController should be created with the default DDS_FlowControllerProperty_t set in the DDS_DomainParticipant. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:: Newly created flow controller object or NULL on failure.

See also:: DDS_FlowControllerProperty_t for rules on consistency among property; DDS_FLOW_CONTROLLER_PROPERTY_DEFAULT; DDS_DomainParticipant_get_default_flowcontroller_property

The created DDS_FlowController is associated with a DDS_DataWriter via DDS_PublishModeQosPolicy::flow_controller_name. A single FlowController may service multiple DataWriters instances, even if they belong to a different DDS_Publisher. The property determines how the FlowController shapes the network traffic.

Precondition:: The specified property must be consistent, or the operation will fail and no DDS_FlowController will be created.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DomainParticipant_delete_flowcontroller	(	DDS_DomainParticipant *	self,
		DDS_FlowController *	fc
	)

<<eXtension>> Deletes an existing DDS_FlowController.

Precondition:: The DDS_FlowController must not have any attached DDS_DataWriter objects. If there are any attached DDS_DataWriter objects, it will fail with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.; The DDS_FlowController must have been created by this DDS_DomainParticipant, or else it will fail with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

Postcondition:: The DDS_FlowController is deleted if this function completes successfully.

MT Safety:: UNSAFE. It is not safe to delete an entity while another thread may be simultaneously calling an API that uses the entity.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
fc	<<in>> The DDS_FlowController to be deleted.

Returns:: One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.
