void le_msg_OpenSessionSync | ( | le_msg_SessionRef_t | sessionRef | ) |
Synchronously open a session with a service. Blocks until the session is open.
This function logs a fatal error and terminates the calling process if unsuccessful.
- Note
- Only clients open sessions. Servers must patiently wait for clients to open sessions with them.
- Warning
- If the client and server do not agree on the maximum message size for the protocol, a fatal error will be logged and the client process will be killed.
- Parameters
-
[in] sessionRef Reference to the session.
void le_msg_ReleaseMsg | ( | le_msg_MessageRef_t | msgRef | ) |
Releases a message object, decrementing its reference count. If the reference count has reached zero, the message object is deleted.

-
[in] msgRef Reference to the message.
void le_msg_RemoveServiceHandler | ( | le_msg_SessionEventHandlerRef_t | handlerRef | ) |
Remove a function previously registered by le_msg_AddServiceOpenHandler or le_msg_AddServiceCloseHandler.
- Note
- This is a server-only function.
- Parameters
-
[in] handlerRef Reference to a previously call of le_msg_AddServiceCloseHandler()
void le_msg_RequestResponse | ( | le_msg_MessageRef_t | msgRef, |
le_msg_ResponseCallback_t | handlerFunc, | ||
void * | contextPtr | ||
) |
Requests a response from a server by sending it a request. Doesn't block. Instead, provides a callback function to be called when the response arrives or the transaction terminates without a response (due to the session terminating or the server deleting the request without responding).
- Note
- The thread attached to the session (i.e., thread created by the session) will trigger the callback from its main event loop. This means if that thread doesn't run its main event loop, it won't trigger the callback.
- Function can only be used on the client side of a session.
- Parameters
-
[in] msgRef Reference to the request message. [in] handlerFunc Function to be called when transaction done. [in] contextPtr Opaque value to be passed to handler function.
le_msg_MessageRef_t le_msg_RequestSyncResponse | ( | le_msg_MessageRef_t | msgRef | ) |
Requests a response from a server by sending it a request. Blocks until the response arrives or until the transaction terminates without a response (i.e., if the session terminates or the server deletes the request without responding).
- Returns
- Reference to the response message, or NULL if the transaction terminated without a response.
- Note
- To prevent deadlocks, this function can only be used on the client side of a session. Servers can't use this function.
- To prevent race conditions, only the client thread attached to the session (the thread that created the session) is allowed to perform a synchronous request-response transaction.
- Warning
- The calling (client) thread will be blocked until the server responds, so no other event handling will happen in that client thread until the response is received (or the server dies). This function should only be used when the server is certain to respond quickly enough to ensure that it will not cause any event response time deadlines to be missed by the client. Consider using le_msg_RequestResponse() instead.
- If this function is used when the client and server are in the same thread, then the message will be discarded and NULL will be returned. This is a deadlock prevention measure.
- Parameters
-
[in] msgRef Reference to the request message.
void le_msg_Respond | ( | le_msg_MessageRef_t | msgRef | ) |
Sends a response back to the client that send the request message.
Takes a reference to the request message. Copy the response payload (if any) into the same payload buffer that held the request payload, then call le_msg_Respond().
The messaging system will delete the message automatically when it's finished sending the response.
- Note
- Function can only be used on the server side of a session.
- Parameters
-
[in] msgRef Reference to the request message.
void le_msg_Send | ( | le_msg_MessageRef_t | msgRef | ) |
Sends a message. No response expected.
- Parameters
-
[in] msgRef Reference to the message.
void le_msg_SetFd | ( | le_msg_MessageRef_t | msgRef, |
int | fd | ||
) |
Sets the file descriptor to be sent with this message.
This file descriptor will be closed when the message is sent (or when it's deleted without being sent).
At most one file descriptor is allowed to be sent per message.
- Parameters
-
[in] msgRef Reference to the message. [in] fd File descriptor.
void le_msg_SetServiceContextPtr | ( | le_msg_ServiceRef_t | serviceRef, |
void * | contextPtr | ||
) |
Associates an opaque context value (void pointer) with a given service that can be retrieved later using le_msg_GetServiceContextPtr().
- Note
- Server-only function.
- Parameters
-
[in] serviceRef Reference to the service. [in] contextPtr Opaque value to be returned by le_msg_GetServiceContextPtr().
void le_msg_SetServiceRecvHandler | ( | le_msg_ServiceRef_t | serviceRef, |
le_msg_ReceiveHandler_t | handlerFunc, | ||
void * | contextPtr | ||
) |
Registers a function to be called when messages are received from clients via sessions that they have open with this service.
- Note
- Server-only function.
- Parameters
-
[in] serviceRef Reference to the service. [in] handlerFunc Handler function. [in] contextPtr Opaque pointer value to pass to the handler.
void le_msg_SetSessionCloseHandler | ( | le_msg_SessionRef_t | sessionRef, |
le_msg_SessionEventHandler_t | handlerFunc, | ||
void * | contextPtr | ||
) |
Sets the handler callback function to be called when the session is closed from the other end. A local termination of the session will not trigger this callback.
The handler function will be called by the Legato event loop of the thread that created the session.
- Note
- If this isn't set on the client side, the framework assumes the client is not designed to recover from the server terminating the session, and the client process will terminate if the session is terminated by the server.
- This is a client-only function. Servers are expected to use le_msg_AddServiceCloseHandler() instead.
- Parameters
-
[in] sessionRef Reference to the session. [in] handlerFunc Handler function. [in] contextPtr Opaque pointer value to pass to handler.
void le_msg_SetSessionContextPtr | ( | le_msg_SessionRef_t | sessionRef, |
void * | contextPtr | ||
) |
Sets an opaque context value (void pointer) that can be retrieved from that session later using le_msg_GetSessionContextPtr().
- Parameters
-
[in] sessionRef Reference to the session. [in] contextPtr Opaque value to be returned by le_msg_GetSessionContextPtr().
void le_msg_SetSessionRecvHandler | ( | le_msg_SessionRef_t | sessionRef, |
le_msg_ReceiveHandler_t | handlerFunc, | ||
void * | contextPtr | ||
) |
Sets the receive handler callback function to be called when a non-response message arrives on this session.
The handler function will be called by the Legato event loop of the thread that created the session.
- Note
- This is a client-only function. Servers are expected to use le_msg_SetServiceRecvHandler() instead.
- Parameters
-
[in] sessionRef Reference to the session. [in] handlerFunc Handler function. [in] contextPtr Opaque pointer value to pass to the handler.
le_result_t le_msg_TryOpenSessionSync | ( | le_msg_SessionRef_t | sessionRef | ) |
Synchronously open a session with a service. Does not wait for the session to become available if not available..
le_msg_TryOpenSessionSync() differs from le_msg_OpenSessionSync() in that le_msg_TryOpenSessionSync() will not wait for a server session to become available if it's not already available at the time of the call. That is, if the client's interface is not bound to any service, or if the service that it's bound to is not currently advertised by the server, then le_msg_TryOpenSessionSync() will return an error code, while le_msg_OpenSessionSync() will wait until the binding is created or the server advertises the service (or both).
- Returns
- LE_OK if the session was successfully opened.
- LE_NOT_FOUND if the server is not currently offering the service to which the client is bound.
- LE_NOT_PERMITTED if the client interface is not bound to any service (doesn't have a binding).
- LE_COMM_ERROR if the Service Directory cannot be reached.
- Note
- Only clients open sessions. Servers' must patiently wait for clients to open sessions with them.
- Warning
- If the client and server do not agree on the maximum message size for the protocol, a fatal error will be logged and the client process will be killed.
- Parameters
-
[in] sessionRef Reference to the session.
