resmgr_handler()

Handle resource manager messages

Synopsis:

#include <sys/dispatch.h>

int resmgr_handler( resmgr_context_t * ctp );

Library:

libc

Description:

The resmgr_handler() function handles the message received in ctp. This function handles different I/O messages through the resource manager framework.


Note: The resmgr_handler() function is a special case of dispatch_handler() and should be used only when writing a simple resource manager i.e. where there's no need to attach pulses or messages.

Returns:

0
Success.
-1
An error occurred.

Examples:

#include <sys/dispatch.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main( int argc, char **argv ) {
   dispatch_t          *dpp;
   resmgr_context_t    *ctp;

   if ((dpp = dispatch_create()) == NULL) {
      fprintf( stderr, "%s: Unable to allocate \
               dispatch handle.\n",argv[0] );
      return EXIT_FAILURE;
   }

   ...

   ctp = resmgr_context_alloc( dpp );

   while (1) {
     if ( ( ctp = resmgr_block( ctp )) == NULL ) {
        fprintf( stderr, "block error\n" );
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
     }
     resmgr_handler( ctp );
   }
}

For examples using the dispatch interface, see dispatch_create(), message_attach(), resmgr_attach(), and thread_pool_create().

Classification:

QNX 6

Safety:
Cancellation point Yes
Interrupt handler No
Signal handler No
Thread Yes

Caveats:

If messages or pulses were attached to dpp using message_attach(), pulse_attach(), or select_attach(), then those events won't be dispatched by resmgr_handler(). Instead, one should call dispatch_handler().
