Single-threaded device resource manager
QNX SDP8.0Writing a Resource ManagerDeveloper
Here's the complete code for a simple single-threaded device resource manager:
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/iofunc.h>
#include <sys/dispatch.h>
static resmgr_connect_funcs_t connect_funcs;
static resmgr_io_funcs_t io_funcs;
static iofunc_attr_t attr;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
/* declare variables we'll be using */
resmgr_attr_t resmgr_attr;
dispatch_t *dpp;
dispatch_context_t *ctp;
int id;
/* initialize dispatch interface */
dpp = dispatch_create_channel(-1, DISPATCH_FLAG_NOLOCK );
if (dpp == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s: Unable to allocate dispatch handle.\n", argv[0]);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
/* initialize resource manager attributes */
memset(&resmgr_attr, 0, sizeof resmgr_attr);
resmgr_attr.nparts_max = 1;
resmgr_attr.msg_max_size = 2048;
/* initialize functions for handling messages */
iofunc_func_init(_RESMGR_CONNECT_NFUNCS, &connect_funcs,
_RESMGR_IO_NFUNCS, &io_funcs);
/* initialize attribute structure used by the device */
iofunc_attr_init(&attr, S_IFNAM | 0666, 0, 0);
/* attach our device name */
id = resmgr_attach(
dpp, /* dispatch handle */
&resmgr_attr, /* resource manager attrs */
"/dev/sample", /* device name */
_FTYPE_ANY, /* open type */
0, /* flags */
&connect_funcs, /* connect routines */
&io_funcs, /* I/O routines */
&attr); /* handle */
if(id == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s: Unable to attach name.\n", argv[0]);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
/* allocate a context structure */
ctp = dispatch_context_alloc(dpp);
/* start the resource manager message loop */
while(1) {
if((ctp = dispatch_block(ctp)) == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "block error\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
dispatch_handler(ctp);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Note:
Include <sys/dispatch.h> after
<sys/iofunc.h> to avoid warnings about redefining the members of some functions.
Let's examine the sample code step-by-step.
