Synopsis:

#include <sys/iofunc.h>
#include <sys/dispatch.h>

dispatch_t *dispatch_create_channel( int chid,
                                     unsigned reserved );

Arguments:

chid: The ID of the channel to use for the dispatch layer.
reserved: Reserved; specify 0 for this argument.

Library:

libc

Description:

The dispatch_create_channel() function allocates and initializes a dispatch handle. The attach functions are:

If you wish, you can do a resmgr_attach() with a NULL path. This has the effect of initializing dispatch to receive messages, among other things.

This function is similar to dispatch_create(), but lets you specify a channel for the dispatch to use. It also lets you specify channel flags for name_attach().

This function is part of the dispatch layer of a resource manager. For more information, see "Layers in a resource manager" in the Bones of a Resource Manager chapter of Writing a Resource Manager.

Returns:

A handle to a dispatch structure, or NULL if an error occurs.

Note: The dispatch structure, dispatch_t, is an opaque data type; you can't access its contents directly.

Errors:

ENOMEM: Insufficient memory to allocate context.
