Macro Definition Documentation

◆ SMQ_getMsgSize

#define SMQ_getMsgSize (   o)    ((o)->frameLen-15)

Returns the message size, which is SMQ::frameLen - 15.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.

◆ SMQ_setCtx

#define SMQ_setCtx (   o,
  ctx 
)    SOCKET_constructor(&(o)->sock, ctx)

Bare metal configuration.

This macro must be called immediately after calling the constructor on bare metal systems.

ctxan SeCtx instance.

Function Documentation

◆ SMQ_connect()

int SMQ_connect ( SMQ o,
const char *  uid,
int  uidLen,
const char *  credentials,
U8  credLen,
const char *  info,
int  infoLen 
)

Connect/establish a persistent SimpleMQ connection.

The connection phase is divided into two steps: (1) initiating via SMQ_init and (2) connecting.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
uida universally unique client identifier (uid) must be unique across all clients connecting to the same broker instance. The uid is preferably a stringified version of the client's Ethernet MAC address.
uidLenthe uid length.
credentialsprovide credentials if required by the broker instance.
credLencredentials length.
infoa string that provides information to optional server code interacting with the broker. This string is also passed into the optional broker's authentication callback function.
infoLenlength of info.
Returns
0 on success, error code from TCP/IP stack, SimpleMQ error code, or one of the following error codes from the broker:
  • 0x01 Connection Refused: unacceptable protocol version
  • 0x02 Connection Refused: server unavailable
  • 0x03 Connection Refused: Incorrect credentials
  • 0x04 Connection Refused: Client certificate required
  • 0x05 Connection Refused: Client certificate not accepted
  • 0x06 Connection Refused: Access denied

The broker may optionally send a human readable string in addition to the above broker produced error codes. This string is avaiable via SMQ::buf.

◆ SMQ_constructor()

void SMQ_constructor ( SMQ o,
U8 *  buf,
U16  bufLen 
)

Create a SimpleMQ client instance.

Parameters
oUninitialized data of size sizeof(SMQ).
bufis used for internal management and must not be less than 127 bytes and not smaller than the largest control frame. Function SMQ_getMessage will return SMQE_BUF_OVERFLOW if the buffer is not sufficiently large.
bufLenbuffer length.

◆ SMQ_create()

int SMQ_create ( SMQ o,
const char *  topic 
)

Create a topic an fetch the topic ID (tid).

The SMQ protocol is optimized and does not directly use a string when publishing, but a number. The server randomly a creates 32 bit number and persistently stores the topic name and number.

The response to SMQ_create is asynchronous and returned as status SMQ_CREATEACK via SMQ_getMessage.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
topicthe topic name where you plan on publishing messages.

◆ SMQ_createsub()

int SMQ_createsub ( SMQ o,
const char *  subtopic 
)

Create a sub-topic and fetch the subtopic ID.

The response to SMQ_subscribe is asynchronous and returned as status SMQ_CREATESUBACK via SMQ_getMessage.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
subtopicthe sub-topic name you want registered.

◆ SMQ_destructor()

void SMQ_destructor ( SMQ o)

Terminate a SimpleMQ instance.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.

◆ SMQ_disconnect()

void SMQ_disconnect ( SMQ o)

Gracefully close the connection.

You cannot publish any messages after calling this method.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.

◆ SMQ_getMessage()

int SMQ_getMessage ( SMQ o,
U8 **  msg 
)

Wait for messages sent from the broker.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
msga pointer to the response data (out param)
Returns
  • a negative value signals an error code or an asynchronous response code.
  • zero signals timeout.
  • a value greater than zero signals the reception of a full message or a message fragment. See receiving large frames for details.
Receiving large frames:
The SimpleMQ protocol is frame based, but the function can return a fragment before the complete SimpleMQ frame is received if the frame sent by the peer is larger than the provided buffer. The frame length is returned in SMQ::frameLen and the data consumed thus far is returned in SMQ::bytesRead. The complete frame is consumed when frameLen == bytesRead.

Note: the default timeout value is set to one minute. You can set the timeout value by setting SharkMQ::timeout to the number of milliseconds you want to wait for incoming messages before the timeout triggers. Note: Setting a long timeout may interfere with the built in PING timer.

Returns
  • < 0: An error or a control message such as SMQ_SUBACK
  • >= 0: An SMQ message with this length

◆ SMQ_init()

int SMQ_init ( SMQ o,
const char *  url,
U32 *  rnd 
)

Initiate the SMQ server connection.

The connection phase is divided into two steps: (1) initiating and (2) connecting via SMQ_connect.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
urlis a URL that starts with http:// and this URL must be to a server resource that initiates a SimpleMQ connection.
rnd(out param) a random number created by the server. This number can be used for securing hash based password encryption.
Returns
0 on success, error code from TCP/IP stack, or SimpleMQ error code. SMQ::buf is set to the IP address of the client as seen by the broker.

◆ SMQ_observe()

int SMQ_observe ( SMQ o,
U32  tid 
)

Request the broker to provide change notification events when the number of subscribers to a specific topic changes.

Ephemeral topic IDs can also be observed. The number of connected subscribers for an ephemeral ID can only be one, which means the client is connected. Receiving a change notification for an ephemeral ID means the client has disconnected and that you no longer will get any change notifications for the observed topic ID.

Change notification events are received as SMQ_SUBCHANGE via SMQ_getMessage.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
tidthe Topic ID you which to observe.

◆ SMQ_pubflush()

int SMQ_pubflush ( SMQ o,
U32  tid,
U32  subtid 
)

Flush the internal buffer and request the broker to assemble all stored fragments as one message.

This message is then published to topic 'tid', and sub-topic 'subtid'.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
tidthe topic ID (created with SMQ_create).
subtidoptional sub-topic ID preferably created with SMQ_createsub.

Example:

SMQ_wrtstr(smq, "Hello");
SMQ_wrtstr(smq, " ");
SMQ_wrtstr(smq, "World");
SMQ_pubflush(smq,tid,subtid);
int SMQ_pubflush(SMQ *o, U32 tid, U32 subtid)
Flush the internal buffer and request the broker to assemble all stored fragments as one message.
int SMQ_wrtstr(SMQ *o, const char *str)
Publish a message in chunks and request the broker to assemble the message before publishing to the s...

◆ SMQ_publish()

int SMQ_publish ( SMQ o,
const void *  data,
int  len,
U32  tid,
U32  subtid 
)

Publish messages to a topic and optionally to a sub-topic.

Topic name must have previosly been been resolved by SMQ_create and sub-topic should preferably have been created by SMQ_createsub.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
datamessage payload.
lenpayload length.
tidthe topic ID (created with SMQ_create).
subtidoptional sub-topic ID preferably created with SMQ_createsub.

◆ SMQ_subscribe()

int SMQ_subscribe ( SMQ o,
const char *  topic 
)

The response to SMQ_subscribe is asynchronous and returned as status SMQ_SUBACK via SMQ_getMessage.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
topicthe topic name to subscribe to.

◆ SMQ_unobserve()

int SMQ_unobserve ( SMQ o,
U32  tid 
)

Stop receiving change notifications for a topic ID or ephemeral topic ID.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
tidthe Topic ID you no longer want to observe.

◆ SMQ_unsubscribe()

int SMQ_unsubscribe ( SMQ o,
U32  tid 
)

Requests the broker to unsubscribe the server from a topic.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
tidthe topic name's Topic ID.

◆ SMQ_write()

int SMQ_write ( SMQ o,
const void *  data,
int  len 
)

Publish a message in chunks and request the broker to assemble the message before publishing to the subscriber(s).

This method uses the internal buffer (SMQ::buf) and sends the message as a chunk when the internal buffer is full, thus sending the message as an incomplete message to the broker. The message is assembled by the broker when you flush the remaining bytes in the buffer by calling SMQ_pubflush.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
datamessage payload.
lenpayload length.

◆ SMQ_wrtstr()

int SMQ_wrtstr ( SMQ o,
const char *  str 
)

Publish a message in chunks and request the broker to assemble the message before publishing to the subscriber(s).

This method uses the internal buffer (SMQ::buf) and sends the message as a chunk when the internal buffer is full, thus sending the message as an incomplete message to the broker. The message is assembled by the broker when you flush the remaining bytes in the buffer by calling SMQ_pubflush.

Parameters
othe SMQ instance.
stra string.
