Message format for delivering replies from the ace_name server.

Usage

#include <ACE/Name_Request_Reply.h>
class ACE_Name_Reply
{
  public:
    enum Constants{ MAX_NAME_LENGTH = MAXPATHLEN + 1 };
    ACE_Name_Reply (void);
    ACE_Name_Reply (ACE_UINT32 type, ACE_UINT32 err);
    void init (void);
    ACE_UINT32 length (void) const;
    void length (ACE_UINT32);
    ACE_INT32 msg_type (void) const;
    void msg_type (ACE_INT32);
    ACE_INT32 status (void) const;
    void status (ACE_INT32);
    ACE_UINT32 errnum (void) const;
    void errnum (ACE_UINT32);
    int encode (void *&);
    int decode (void);
    void dump (void) const;
  private:
    Transfer transfer_;
};

Overview

Define the format used to exchange messages between the ACE_Name Server and its clients.

Set/get the length of the encoded/decoded message.

ACE_UINT32 length (void) const;
void length (ACE_UINT32);

Set/get the type of the message.

ACE_INT32 msg_type (void) const;
void msg_type (ACE_INT32);

Set/get the status of the reply (0 == success, -1 == failure).

ACE_INT32 status (void) const;
void status (ACE_INT32);

Set/get the errno of a failed reply.

ACE_UINT32 errnum (void) const;
void errnum (ACE_UINT32);
int encode (void *&);

Encode the message before transfer.

int decode (void);

Decode a message after reception.

void dump (void) const;

Print out the values of the message for debugging purposes.
