CMAP_TRACK_ADD(3)

NAME

cmap_track_add - Set tracking function for values in CMAP

SYNOPSIS

#include <corosync/cmap.h>

cs_error_t cmap_track_add (cmap_handle_t handle, const char *key_name, int32_t track_type, cmap_notify_fn_t notify_fn, void *user_data, cmap_track_handle_t *cmap_track_handle);

DESCRIPTION

The cmap_track_add function is used to set function which tracks changes in CMAP. One CMAP connection can track multiple keys and also it's possible to track one key multiple times. The handle argument is connection to CMAP database obtained by calling cmap_initialize(3) function. key_name argument is ether exact key name or prefix of key name to track changes on. track_type is bitfield which may consist of following values:

CMAP_TRACK_ADD - track addition of new key (or key added in callback)

CMAP_TRACK_DELETE - track deletion of key (or key deleted in callback)

CMAP_TRACK_MODIFY - track modification of key (or key modified in callback)

CMAP_TRACK_PREFIX - whole prefix is tracked, instead of key only, so "totem." tracking means that "totem.nodeid", "totem.version", ... applies (this value is never returned in callback)

notify_fn is pointer to function which is called when value is changed. It's definition and meaning of parameters is discussed below. user_data argument is passed directly to notify_fn without any changes. cmap_track_handle is used for removing of tracking when no longer needed by calling cmap_track_delete(3) function. Callback function is defined as:

    typedef void (*cmap_notify_fn_t) (
        cmap_handle_t cmap_handle,
        cmap_track_handle_t cmap_track_handle,
        int32_t event,
        const char *key_name,
        struct cmap_notify_value new_value,
        struct cmap_notify_value old_value,
        void *user_data);

where cmap_handle is handle used in registration of track function. cmap_track_handle is handle returned by cmap_track_add function. event is one of CMAP_TRACK_ADD, CMAP_TRACK_DELETE or CMAP_TRACK_MODIFY. key_name is name of changed key. new_value is new value of key, or unset if event is CMAP_TRACK_DELETE. old_value is previous value of key or unset if event is CMAP_TRACK_ADD or for some special keys set directly by Corosync due to speed optimizations. Both new_value and old_value are structures defined as:

    struct cmap_notify_value {
        cmap_value_types_t type;
        size_t len;
        const void *data;
    };

If value is unset, all fields are set to 0. Otherwise type is one of cmap types (as described in cmap_get(3) function), len is length of value in cmap and data is pointer to value of item. Data storage is dynamically allocated by caller and notify function must not try to free it.

RETURN VALUE
This call returns the CS_OK value if successful. It can return CS_ERR_INVALID_PARAM if notify_fn is NULL or track_type is invalid value.

NOTES
Modification tracking of individual keys is supported in the stats map, but not prefixes. Add/Delete operations are supported on prefixes though so you can track for new ipc connections or knet interfaces. In the icmap map, prefix tracking is fully supported.
