1.13.2.dir_deregister() #
NAME
dir_register, dir_deregister, dir_lookup, dir_lookup_string – directory service routines
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys.h>
- int dir_register( char *name , uint value, uint type );
- int dir_deregister( char *name );
- int dir_lookup( char *name , uint *valuep );
- int dir_lookup_string( char *name , uint *valuep , size_t len );
- int dir_lookup_type( dir_buf_type_t *Dir_buf_ptr , uint type );
- typedef struct dir_buf_entry_type {
- struct dir_buf_entry_type *next_entry_ptr; //pointer to next entry
- uint value; //value
- char *name; //pointer to name
- }dir_buf_type_t;
DESCRIPTION
These routines provide an interface to the directory service. The directory service provides a generic way of associating a name with a value. The registered value may also have a given type. A common use is to associate a pthread id with a name so that other threads can rendezvous with the thread.
A name can be associated with a value with a call to dir_register(). The value associated with name may then be retrieved with a call to dir_lookup() or dir_lookup_string(). The entry for name may be removed with a call to dir_deregister().
Several names may share the same value; however, each name must be unique.
The type is used to allow users to look up values by class. By associating a type with a name and a value, all instances of a given type may be retreived. This feature is used to retreive all servers for example. The structure for the single linked list is shown above.
dir_lookup_type() is used to lookup all names and values associated with a given type. This is very useful to lookup all system objects of a given type. The various pre-defined system types are defined in sys.h as follows.
- #define TYPE_UNKNOWN 0
- #define TYPE_THREAD 1
- #define TYPE_SERVER 2
- #define TYPE_SEMAPHORE 3
- #define TYPE_MUTEX 4
- #define TYPE_MQUEUE 5
- #define TYPE_BARRIER 6
- #define TYPE_TIMER 7
- #define TYPE_POOL 8
- #define TYPE_ENV 9
- #define TYPE_COND_VAR 10
RETURN VALUES
The calls return a 1 if successful, and 0 on error except for dir_lookup_type(). dir_lookup_type() returns a count of the number of entries found or -1 with errno set if there is an error.
ERRORS
If dir_register() fails, it returns 0 and sets errno. dir_lookup_type() is the only function to return -1 on error and it sets errno using the same error codes.
- EEXIST
- A value has already been registered to the specified name.
- ENOSPC
- Unable to allocate memory for the new entry.
For multiprocessor systems only, all calls can return:
- EBADID
- Unable to access the Directory thread.
NOTES
In a multiprocessor system, the service is provided by the Directory thread.
