NAME

       cpg_overview - CPG library overview

OVERVIEW

       The CPG library is delivered with the corosync project.	This library is used to create distributed applications that operate properly dur-
       ing cluster partitions, merges, and faults.

       The library provides a mechanism to:

       * handle abstraction for multiple instances of a CPG library in one application

       * join one or more groups

       * leave one or more groups

       * Deliver messages to members of that group

       * Deliver configuration changes

       * Iterate members of groups

SECURITY

       If encryption is enabled in corosync.conf, the CPG library will encrypt and authenticate message contents.  Applications must  run  as  the
       ais user to be validated by corosync on IPC connection, otherwise they will be unable to access the corosync services.

CPG_ZCB_MCAST_JOINED(3) 			    Corosync Cluster Engine Programmer's Manual 			   CPG_ZCB_MCAST_JOINED(3)

NAME

       cpg_mcast_joined - Multicasts a zero copy buffer to all groups joined to a handle

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/uio.h> #include <corosync/cpg.h>

       int cpg_zcb_mcast_joined(cpg_handle_t handle, cpg_guarantee_t guarantee, const void *buffer,int msg_len );

DESCRIPTION

       The cpg_zcb_mcast_joined function will multicast a zero copy buffer message to all the processes that have been joined with the cpg_join(3)
       funtion for the same group name.  Messages that are sent to any of the groups joined to the parameter handle will be delivered to all  sub-
       scribed processes in the system.

       The argument guarantee requests a delivery guarantee for the message to be sent.  The cpg_guarantee_t type is defined by:

	      typedef enum {
		      CPG_TYPE_UNORDERED,     /* not implemented */
		      CPG_TYPE_FIFO,	      /* same as agreed */
		      CPG_TYPE_AGREED,	      /* implemented */
		      CPG_TYPE_SAFE	      /* not implemented */
	      } cpg_guarantee_t;

       The meanings of the cpg_guarantee_t typedef are:

       CPG_TYPE_UNORDERED
	      Messages are guaranteed to be delivered, but with no particular order.  This mode is unimplemented in the CPG library.

       CPG_TYPE_FIFO
	      Messages	are  guaranteed  to  be  delivered  in	first  sent  first  delivery  order.  In fact, this guarantee is equivalent to the
	      CPG_TYPE_AGREED guarantee.

       CPG_TYPE_AGREED
	      All processors must agree on the order of delivery.  If a message is sent from two or more processes at about  the  same	time,  the
	      delivery will occur in the same order to all processes.

       CPG_TYPE_SAFE
	      All  processes must agree on the order of delivery.  Further all processes must have a copy of the message before any delivery takes
	      place.  This mode is unimplemented in the CPG library.

       The msg argument describes the zero copy buffer which is used to transmit a message.  this buffer must be allocated by cpg_zcb_alloc(3).

       The msg_len argument describes the number of bytes to be transmitted in the zero copy buffer.

RETURN VALUE

       This call returns the CS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.

ERRORS

       The errors are undocumented.
