34 .TH CONFDB_DISPATCH 3 2004-08-31 "openais Man Page" "Openais Programmer's Manual"
36 confdb_dispatch \- Dispatches callbacks from the CONFDB service
38 .B #include <openais/confdb.h>
40 .BI "int confdb_dispatch(confdb_handle_t " handle ", confdb_dispatch_t *" dispatch_types ");"
44 function is used to dispatch configuration changes.
46 Each application may have several connections to the CONFDB API. Each application
49 argument to uniquely identify the connection.
53 argument is used to identify the type of dispatch to execute. The possible types are
54 defined by the structure:
64 CONFDB_DISPATCH_BLOCKING
72 The dispatch values have the following meanings:
74 .B CONFDB_DISPATCH_ONE
75 Dispatch at least one callback, blocking until the callback is dispatched.
77 .B CONFDB_DISPATCH_ALL
78 Dispatch all waiting callbacks without blocking to wait for any callbacks.
80 .B CONFDB_DISPATCH_BLOCKING
81 Dispatch all callbacks blocking indefinitely. This is used in a threaded
82 program where a thread is created, and then confdb_dispatch() is called immediately
83 from the created thread to execute callbacks.
86 This call returns the CONFDB_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
89 The errors are undocumented.
