Detailed Description

Notification feature.

For an introduction to notifications please see the Notification Tutorial.

Examples:

Global Mounting

elektraNotificationContract() returns a contract for use with kdbOpen(). The contract ensures that the internalnotification plugin is mounted and configured correctly.

The internalnotification plugin is mounted at its defined positions (see its plugin docs).

Transport Plugins

Notification transport plugins (or simply transport plugins) need access to an I/O binding, as well as a notification callback and context.

All of these can be retrieved from the global keyset. The keys are as follows:

All of these keys are binary and store a pointer that can be read via *(TYPE **) keyValue (key).

The I/O binding can be accessed at any time. It is recommended, plugins read the key once during their open function and store the pointer in their plugin data struct.

The notification callback and context are provided by the internalnotification plugin. Since it might be initialised after the transport plugin, it is not recommended to read the callback and context in the open function. Instead the plugin should read and store the values when the first notification is processed.

Transport plugins should handle missing I/O bindings, notification callbacks and notification contexts gracefully. The plugin should not report and error and instead simply log a debug or warning message.
