flux_aux_set(3)

SYNOPSIS

#include <flux/core.h>

typedef void (*flux_free_f)(void *arg);

void *flux_aux_get (flux_t *h, const char *name);

int flux_aux_set (flux_t *h,
                  const char *name,
                  void *aux,
                  flux_free_f destroy);

DESCRIPTION

flux_aux_set() attaches application-specific data to the parent object h. It stores data aux by key name, with optional destructor destroy. The destructor, if non-NULL, is called when the parent object is destroyed, or when key is overwritten by a new value. If aux is NULL, the destructor for a previous value, if any is called, but no new value is stored. If name is NULL, aux is stored anonymously.

flux_aux_get() retrieves application-specific data by name. If the data was stored anonymously, it cannot be retrieved. Note that flux_aux_get() does not scale to a large number of items, and flux module handles may persist for a long time.

Names beginning with "flux::" are reserved for internal use.

RETURN VALUE

flux_aux_get() returns data on success, or NULL on failure, with errno set.

flux_aux_set() returns 0 on success, or -1 on failure, with errno set.

ERRORS

EINVAL: Some arguments were invalid.
ENOMEM: Out of memory.
ENOENT: flux_aux_get() could not find an entry for key.
