TipcSrvMonClientCbPoll

client_name — name of RTclient to poll for callback information (wildcard names allowed, or use T_IPC_MON_ALL to indicate a poll of all RTclients matching the value of Monitor_Scope)

Return Values

TRUE if the poll for RTclient callback information was successfully initiated, FALSE otherwise.

Diagnostics

If TipcSrvMonClientCbPoll fails, it returns FALSE and sets the global SmartSockets error number to one of:

Description

TipcSrvMonClientCbPoll polls for RTclient callback information by sending a MON_CLIENT_CB_POLL_CALL message to the client_name RTclient. The client_name argument can be the unique subject name of a single RTclient, a wildcarded subject name to match many RTclients, or T_IPC_MON_ALL to poll all RTclients in the project that match the value of the Monitor_Scope option. The polled RTclient responds by sending back a MON_CLIENT_CB_POLL_RESULT message. The response may or may not come back quickly, depending on what the polled RTclient is doing. The polling RTclient can use functions such as TipcSrvConnMsgSearchType or TipcSrvConnMainLoop to get the response.

There are multiple responses only if client_name is a wildcard or T_IPC_MON_ALL.

Caution

TipcSrvMonClientCbPoll sends a MON_CLIENT_CB_POLL_CALL message to RTserver, but does not explicitly flush the message. See TipcSrvConnGetAutoFlushSize for more information on message buffering.

There is no response message if the RTclient named client_name does not exist; the poll is silently dropped.

Examples

This example uses TipcSrvMonClientCbPoll to poll for callback information in all RTclients, including this one, creates a callback to process the incoming MON_CLIENT_CB_POLL_RESULT messages, and then waits up to 10 seconds for the poll results:
