NAME

6       evs_join - Multicasts to all groups joined to an handle

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <sys/uio.h> #include <openais/evs.h>
10
11       int  evs_mcast_joined(evs_handle_t  handle,  evs_guraantee_t guarantee,
12       struct iovec *iovec, int iov_len);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The evs_mcast_joined function is multicast a message to all the  groups
16       that  have  been  joined with the evs_join(3) function for the argument
17       handle.  Messages that are sent to any of  the  groups  joined  to  the
18       parameter handle will be delivered to all processors in the system.
19
20       The argument guarantee requests a delivery guarantee for the message to
21       be sent.  The evs_guarantee_t type is defined by:
22
23              typedef enum {
24                  EVS_TYPE_UNORDERED,       /* not implemented */
25                  EVS_TYPE_FIFO,          /* same as agreed */
26                  EVS_TYPE_AGREED,          /* implemented */
27                  EVS_TYPE_SAFE           /* not implemented */
28              } evs_guarantee_t;
29
30       The meanings of the evs_gaurantee_t typedef are:
31
32       EVS_GUARANTEE_UNORDERED
33              Messages are guaranteed to be delivered, but with no  particular
34              order.  This mode is unimplemented in the EVS library.
35
36       EVS_GUARANTEE_FIFO
37              Messages  are  guaranteed  to  be  delivered in first sent first
38              delivery order from one one.  In fact, this guarantee  is  actu‐
39              ally the AGREED guarantee.
40
41       EVS_GUARANTEE_AGREED
42              All  processors  must agree on the order of delivery.  If a mes‐
43              sage is sent from two or more processors at about the same time,
44              the delivery will occur in the same order to all processors.
45
46       EVS_GUARANTEE_SAFE
47              All processors must agree on the order of delivery.  Further all
48              processors must have a copy of the message before  any  delivery
49              takes place.  This mode is unimplemented in the EVS library.
50
51       The  iovec  argument describes the scatter/gather list which is used to
52       transmit a message.  This is a standard socket structure described by:
53
54              struct iovec
55              {
56                  void *iov_base;     /* Pointer to data.  */
57                  size_t iov_len;     /* Length of data.  */
58              };
59
60       The iovlen argument describes the number of entires in the iovec  argu‐
61       ment.

RETURN VALUE

65       This call returns the EVS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is
66       returned.
67

ERRORS

69       The errors are undocumented.
