ham_action_control()

Perform control operations on an action object in a HAM

Synopsis:

#include <ha/ham.h>

int ham_action_control( ham_action_t *ahdl,
                        int command,
                        unsigned flags);

Library:

libham

Description:

The ham_action_control() function can be used to control the state of an action object in a HAM. This function is designed to be extensible with additional commands. Currently, the following commands are defined:

HENABLE

Enable the action.

HDISABLE

Disable the action.

HADDFLAGS

Add the flags.

HREMOVEFLAGS

Remove the flags.

HSETFLAGS

Set the flags to the given value.

HGETFLAGS

Get the current flags.

When an action item is enabled (the default), it's executed when the condition associated with it is triggered. When an action item is disabled, the action isn't executed when the condition associated with it is triggered. Individual conditions and entities can be enabled and disabled using the corresponding control functions for conditions and entities, respectively.

The add flags, remove flags, and set flags commands can be used to modify the set of flags associated with the entity being controlled. Add flags and remove flags are used to either add to or remove from the current set of flags, the specified set of flags (as given in flags). The set flags function is called when the current set of flags is to be replaced by flags.

Flags

Any flag that is valid for the corresponding action can be used when ham_action_control() is being used to set flags, with the exception of HACTIONDONOW.

For the HENABLE and HDISABLE commands:

HRECURSE

Applies the command recursively.

Returns:

For the enable, disable, add flags, remove flags, and set flags functions:

0

Success.

-1

An error occurred (errno is set).

For the get flags function:

flags

Success.

-1

An error occurred (errno is set).

Errors:

EBADF

Couldn't connect to the HAM.

EINVAL

The command or flags variable is invalid.

In addition to the above errors, the HAM returns any error it encounters while servicing this request.

Classification:
