GEARMAN_CLIENT_ADD_TASK(3)					     Gearmand						GEARMAN_CLIENT_ADD_TASK(3)

NAME
gearman_client_add_task - Gearmand Documentation, http://gearman.info/ SYNOPSIS
#include <libgearman/gearman.h> gearman_task_st *gearman_client_add_task(gearman_client_st *client, gearman_task_st *task, void *context, const char *function_name, const char *unique, const void *workload, size_t workload_size, gearman_return_t *ret_ptr) gearman_task_st *gearman_client_add_task_high(gearman_client_st *client, gearman_task_st *task, void *context, const char *function_name, const char *unique, const void *workload, size_t workload_size, gearman_return_t *ret_ptr) gearman_task_st *gearman_client_add_task_low(gearman_client_st *client, gearman_task_st *task, void *context, const char *function_name, const char *unique, const void *workload, size_t workload_size, gearman_return_t *ret_ptr) Link with -lgearman DESCRIPTION
gearman_client_add_task() creates a task and adds it to the given gearman_client_st. Execution of the task does now begin until gear- man_client_run_tasks() is called. If the unique value is not set, then a unique will be assigned. gearman_client_add_task_high() and gearman_client_add_task_low() are identical to gearman_client_do(), only they set the priority to either high or low. RETURN VALUE
The gearman_task_st is created and a pointer to it is returned. On error NULL is returned and ret_ptr is set with a gearman_return_t. HOME
