dat_evd_free(3DAT) Direct Access Transport Library Functionsdat_evd_free(3DAT)NAMEdat_evd_free - destroy an instance of the Event Dispatcher
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
#include <dat/udat.h>
DAT_RETURN
dat_evd_free (
IN DAT_EVD_HANDLE evd_handle
)
PARAMETERS
evd_handle Handle for an instance of the Event Dispatcher.
DESCRIPTION
The dat_evd_free() function destroys a specified instance of the Event
Dispatcher.
All events on the queue of the specified Event Dispatcher are lost. The
destruction of the Event Dispatcher instance does not have any effect
on any DAT Objects that originated an Event Stream that had fed events
to the Event Dispatcher instance. There should be no event streams
feeding the Event Dispatcher and no threads blocked on the Event Dis‐
patcher when the EVD is being closed as at the time when it was cre‐
ated.
Use of the handle of the destroyed Event Dispatcher in any consequent
operation fails.
RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS The operation was successful.
DAT_INVALID_HANDLE The evd_handle parameter is invalid
DAT_INVALID_STATE Invalid parameter. There are Event Streams
associated with the Event Dispatcher feeding
it.
USAGE
Consumers are advised to destroy all Objects that originate Event
Streams that feed an instance of the Event Dispatcher before destroying
it. An exception to this rule is Event Dispatchers of an IA.
Freeing an IA automatically destroys all Objects associated with it
directly and indirectly, including Event Dispatchers.
