PPS_OBJECT_BASE defines the base structure for PPS objects.

PPS_OBJECT_BASE contains the following:
  • type The object ID that identifies the derived object type.
  • fd The file descriptor of the PPS object. This can be passed to a poll() system call to wait for input on the associated PPS object. If fd is less than zero, then the PPS object is currently closed.
  • path The path of the PPS object. The length of the path can be a maximum of 517 characters. This path is relative to the base PPS URI assigned to the PPS Object subsystem.
  • pollfd A pointer to a pollfd list entry used to poll for events on the associated PPS object.
  • object_data A pointer to object-specific data. This mechanism provides some rudimentary polymorphism by associating object-specific member data with the high-level PPS object.
  • pps_handler A pointer to a handler callback function that's called by the HNM system whenever a PPS message is received from a connecting client.
  • pps_update Callback to push changes to the Status object to subscribers of the PPS interface.
