man rtf_create_handler () - install a handler for realtime fifo data

NAME

rtf_create_handler - install a handler for realtime fifo data

SYNOPSIS

#include <rtl_fifo.h> 
 
int rtf_create_handler(unsigned int fifo, int (* handler)());

DESCRIPTION

rtf_create_handler installs a handler which is executed when data is written to or read from a real-time fifo (RT-FIFO) by a user-space process. fifo is an RT-FIFO that must have previously been created with a call to rtf_create. handler is then called whenever a Linux process accesses that fifo. The handler is executed with the Linux (i.e., lowest) priority.

rtf_create_handler is often used in conjunction with rtf_get to process data acquired asynchronously from a Linux process. The installed handler calls rtf_get when data is present. Because the handler is only executed when there is activity on the fifo, polling is not necessary.

The RT-FIFO is a mechanism, implemented as a character device, to communicate between realtime software components (either in threads or handlers), and between realtime software and ordinary Linux processes. The rtf_* functions are used in RT mode; Linux processes use standard character device access functions such as read(2), write(2) and select(2).

RETURN VALUE

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

NOTES

The handler is only called when a Linux process accesses the FIFO. To install a handler that would be called on rtf_put or rtf_get, use rtf_create_rt_handler.

ERRORS

-EINVAL: fifo is greater than or equal to RTF_NO, or is not a valid RT-FIFO identifier; or handler is NULL.
