Function Documentation

void vapi_clear_event_cb	(	vapi_ctx_t	ctx,
		vapi_msg_id_t	id
	)

clear event callback for given message id

Parameters

ctx	opaque vapi context
id	message id

Definition at line 781 of file vapi.c.

Here is the call graph for this function:

void vapi_clear_generic_event_cb

(

vapi_ctx_t

ctx

)

clear generic event callback

Parameters

ctx	opaque vapi context

Definition at line 795 of file vapi.c.

vapi_error_e vapi_connect	(	vapi_ctx_t	ctx,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	chroot_prefix,
		int	max_outstanding_requests,
		int	response_queue_size,
		vapi_mode_e	mode
	)

connect to vpp

Parameters

ctx	opaque vapi context, must be allocated using vapi_ctx_alloc first
name	application name
chroot_prefix	shared memory prefix
max_outstanding_requests	max number of outstanding requests queued
response_queue_size	size of the response queue
mode	mode of operation - blocking or nonblocking

Returns

VAPI_OK on success, other error code on error

Parameters

Here is the caller graph for this function:

vapi_error_e vapi_dispatch

(

vapi_ctx_t

ctx

)

loop vapi_dispatch_one until responses to all currently outstanding requests have been received and their callbacks called

Note

the dispatch loop is interrupted if any error is encountered or returned from the callback, in which case this error is returned as the result of vapi_dispatch. In this case it might be necessary to call dispatch again to process the remaining messages. Returning VAPI_EUSER from a callback allows the user to break the dispatch loop (and distinguish this case in the calling code from other failures). VAPI never returns VAPI_EUSER on its own.

Returns

VAPI_OK on success, other error code on error
