40 .BI "int evs_join(evs_handle_t " handle ", evs_group_t *" groups ", int " group_entries ");
44 function is used to join one or more groups. When a group is joined, using the
45 .B evs_mcast_joined(3)
46 function will multicast to the groups joined in the argument
48 Messages that are sent to any of the groups joined to the parameter
53 This call may be used more then once on a handle, in which case the joined groups will
54 be all of the groups passed to the
56 function during the lifecycle of the parameter
62 is used to specify the groups to join. A group is a 32 byte key. The key is
63 not a string, hence, the entire key is used when joining the channel. For that reason
64 the entire group should be initialized.
68 specifies how many entries are located in the groups argument.
72 argument is of the type evs_group_t which is defined by the structure:
89 This call returns the EVS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
