NAME
dat_evd_post_se - post Software event to the Event Dispatcher event queue SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ] #include <dat/udat.h> DAT_RETURN dat_evd_post_se( IN DAT_EVD_HANDLE evd_handle, IN const DAT_EVENT *event ) PARAMETERS
evd_handle Handle for an instance of the Event Dispatcher event A pointer to a Consumer created Software Event. DESCRIPTION
The dat_evd_post_se() function posts Software events to the Event Dispatcher event queue. This is analogous to event arrival on the Event Dispatcher software Event Stream. The event that the Consumer provides adheres to the event format as defined in <dat.h>. The first element in the event provides the type of the event (DAT_EVENT_TYPE_SOFTWARE); the rest provide the event-type-specific parameters. These parame- ters are opaque to a Provider. Allocation and release of the memory referenced by the event pointer in a software event are the Consumer's responsibility. There is no ordering between events from different Event Streams. All the synchronization issues between multiple Consumer contexts trying to post events to an Event Dispatcher instance simultaneously are left to a Consumer. If the event queue is full, the operation is completed unsuccessfully and returns DAT_QUEUE_FULL. The event is not queued. The queue over- flow condition does takes place and, therefore, the asynchronous Event Dispatcher is not effected. RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS The operation was successful. DAT_INVALID_HANDLE The evd_handle parameter is invalid. DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER The event parameter is invalid. DAT_QUEUE_FULL The Event Dispatcher queue is full. ATTRIBUTES

NAME
dat_evd_set_unwaitable - transition the Event Dispatcher into an unwaitable state SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ] #include <dat/udat.h> DAT_RETURN dat_evd_set_unwaitable( IN DAT_EVD_HANDLE evd_handle ) PARAMETERS
evd_handle Handle for an instance of Event Dispatcher. DESCRIPTION
The dat_evd_set_unwaitable() transitions the Event Dispatcher into an unwaitable state. In this state, calls to dat_evd_wait(3DAT) return synchronously with a DAT_INVALID_STATE error, and threads already blocked in dat_evd_wait() are awakened and return with a DAT_INVALID_STATE error without any further action by the Consumer. The actual state of the Event Dispatcher is accessible through dat_evd_query(3DAT) and is DAT_EVD_UNWAITABLE after the return of this operation. This call does not affect a CNO associated with this EVD at all. Events arriving on the EVD after it is set unwaitable still trigger the CNO (if appropriate), and can be retrieved with dat_evd_dequeue(3DAT). Because events can arrive normally on the EVD, the EVD might over- flow; the Consumer is expected to protect against this possibility. RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS The operation was successful. DAT_INVALID_HANDLE The evd_handle parameter is invalid. ATTRIBUTES
