NAME

       confdb_dispatch - Dispatches callbacks from the CONFDB service

SYNOPSIS

       #include <corosync/confdb.h>

       int confdb_dispatch(confdb_handle_t handle, confdb_dispatch_t *dispatch_types);

DESCRIPTION

       The confdb_dispatch function is used to dispatch configuration changes.

       Each  application may have several connections to the CONFDB API.  Each	application uses the handle argument to uniquely identify the con-
       nection.

       The dispatch_types argument is used to identify the type of dispatch to execute.  The possible types are defined by the structure:

	      typedef enum {
		      CONFDB_DISPATCH_ONE,
		      CONFDB_DISPATCH_ALL,
		      CONFDB_DISPATCH_BLOCKING
	      } confdb_dispatch_t;

       The dispatch values have the following meanings:

       CONFDB_DISPATCH_ONE
	      Dispatch at least one callback, blocking until the callback is dispatched.

       CONFDB_DISPATCH_ALL
	      Dispatch all waiting callbacks without blocking to wait for any callbacks.

       CONFDB_DISPATCH_BLOCKING
	      Dispatch all callbacks blocking indefinitely.  This is used in a threaded program where a thread is created,  and  then  confdb_dis-
	      patch() is called immediately from the created thread to execute callbacks.

RETURN VALUE

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

ERRORS

       The errors are undocumented.
