DESCRIPTION

flux_response_decode() decodes a response message msg.

topic, if non-NULL, will be set to the message's topic string. The storage for this string belongs to msg and should not be freed.

s, if non-NULL, will be set to the message's NULL-terminated string payload. If no payload exists, it is set to NULL. The storage for this string belongs to msg and should not be freed.

flux_response_decode_raw() decodes a response message with a raw payload, setting data and len to the payload data and length. The storage for the raw payload belongs to msg and should not be freed.

flux_response_decode_error() decodes an optional error string included with an error response. This fails if the response is not an error, or does not include an error string payload.

RETURN VALUE

These functions return 0 on success. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

EINVAL

The msg argument was NULL.

EPROTO

Message decoding failed, such as due to incorrect message type, missing topic string, etc.

ENOENT

flux_response_decode_error() was called on a message with no error response payload.
