CPG_OVERVIEW(8) 				    Corosync Cluster Engine Programmer's Manual 				   CPG_OVERVIEW(8)

NAME
cpg_overview - CPG library overview OVERVIEW
The CPG library is delivered with the corosync project. This library is used to create distributed applications that operate properly dur- ing cluster partitions, merges, and faults. The library provides a mechanism to: * handle abstraction for multiple instances of a CPG library in one application * join one or more groups * leave one or more groups * Deliver messages to members of that group * Deliver configuration changes SECURITY
If encryption is enabled in corosync.conf, the CPG library will encrypt and authenticate message contents. Applications must run as the ais user to be validated by corosync on IPC connection, otherwise they will be unable to access the corosync services. SEE ALSO

NAME
cpg_initialize - Create a new connection to the CPG service SYNOPSIS
#include <corosync/cpg.h> int cpg_initialize(cpg_handle_t *handle, cpg_callbacks_t *callbacks); DESCRIPTION
The cpg_initialize function is used to initialize a connection to the closed process groups API. This function is deprecated and cpg_model_initialize should be used in newly written code. Each application may have several connections to the CPG API. Each application uses the handle argument to uniquely identify the connec- tion. The handle argument is then used in other function calls to identify the connection to be used for communication with the CPG ser- vice. Every time an CPG event occurs within the joined group, one of the callbacks specified by the argument callbacks is called. The callback functions are described by the following type definitions: typedef void (*cpg_deliver_fn_t) ( cpg_handle_t handle, const struct cpg_name *group_name, uint32_t nodeid, uint32_t pid, const void *msg, size_t msg_len); typedef void (*cpg_confchg_fn_t) ( cpg_handle_t handle, const struct cpg_name *group_name, const struct cpg_address *member_list, size_t member_list_entries, const struct cpg_address *left_list, size_t left_list_entries, const struct cpg_address *joined_list, size_t joined_list_entries); The callbacks argument is of the type: typedef struct { cpg_deliver_fn_t cpg_deliver_fn; cpg_confchg_fn_t cpg_confchg_fn; } cpg_callbacks_t; When a configuration change occurs or a message is to be delivered one of the callbacks is called from the cpg_dispatch() function. If a configuration change occurs, cpg_confchg_fn is called. If a delivery of a message occurs, cpg_deliver_fn is called. The cpg_address structure is defined struct cpg_address { unsigned int nodeid; unsigned int pid; unsigned int reason; }; where nodeid is a 32 bit unique node identifier, pid is the process ID of the process that has joined/left the group or sent the message, and reason is an integer code indicating why the node joined/left the group. CPG_REASON_JOIN - the process joined a group using cpg_join(). CPG_REASON_LEAVE - the process left a group using cpg_leave() CPG_REASON_NODEDOWN - the process left a group because the node left the cluster. CPG_REASON_NODEUP - the process joined a group because it was already a member of a group on a node that has just joined the cluster CPG_REASON_PROCDOWN - the process left a group without calling cpg_leave() RETURN VALUE
This call returns the CPG_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned. ERRORS
The errors are undocumented. SEE ALSO
