man rtf_create () - create a realtime fifo

NAME

rtf_create - create a realtime fifo

SYNOPSIS

#include <rtl_fifo.h> 
 
int rtf_create(unsigned int fifo, int size);

DESCRIPTION

rtf_create creates a realtime fifo (RT-FIFO) of size size and assigns it the identifier fifo. fifo is a value unique within the system, and must be less than RTF_NO.

The RT-FIFO is a mechanism, implemented as a character device, to communicate between realtime tasks and ordinary Linux processes. The rtf_* functions are used by the realtime tasks; Linux processes use standard character device access functions such as read(3), write(3), and select(3).

RETURN VALUE

On success, 0 is returned. On failure, a negative value is returned as described below.

ERRORS

-ENODEV: fifo is greater than or equal to RTF_NO.
-EBUSY: fifo is already in use. Choose a different ID.
-ENOMEM: size bytes could not be allocated for the RT-FIFO.

NOTES

This function should only be used in the Linux init_module() context or in user space via PSC library (please see below). RT-FIFOs created in init_module() should be destroyed with rtf_destroy() in cleanup_module.

rtf_create is a system call made available by PSC, the user-level real-time signal library. It can be called from user space, but not from PSC handlers.
