DESCRIPTION
These functions provide mechanisms for constructing and modifying pools entries within a target pools configuration. The conf argument for
each function refers to the target configuration to which the operation applies.
The pool_associate() function associates the specified resource with pool. A resource can be associated with multiple pools at the same
time. Any resource of this type that was formerly associated with this pool is no longer associated with the pool. The new association
replaces the earlier one.
The pool_create() function creates a new pool with the supplied name with its default properties initialized, and associated with the
default resource of each type.
The pool_destroy function() destroys the given pool association. Associated resources are not modified.
The pool_dissociate() function removes the association between the given resource and pool. On successful completion, the pool is associ-
ated with the default resource of the same type.
The pool_info() function returns a string describing the given pool. The string is allocated with malloc(3C). The caller is reponsible for
freeing the returned string. If the flags option is non-zero, the string returned also describes the associated resources of the pool.
The pool_query_pool_resources() function returns a null-terminated array of resources currently associated with the pool that match the
given list of properties. The return value must be freed by the caller. The nelem argument is set to be the length of the array returned.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, pool_create() returns a new initialized pool. Otherwise it returns NULL and pool_error(3POOL) returns the pool-
specific error value.
Upon successful completion, pool_associate(), pool_destroy(), and pool_dissociate() return 0. Otherwise, they return -1 and pool_error()
returns the pool-specific error value.
Upon successful completion, pool_info() returns a string describing the given pool. Otherwise it returns NULL and pool_error() returns the
pool-specific error value.
Upon successful completion, pool_query_pool_resources() returns a null-terminated array of resources. Otherwise it returns NULL and
pool_error() returns the pool-specific error value.
ERRORS
The pool_create() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not POF_VALID or name is already in use.
POE_SYSTEM A system error has occurred. Check the system error code for more details.
POE_INVALID_CONF The pool element could not be created because the configuration would be invalid.
POE_PUTPROP One of the supplied properties could not be set.
The pool_destroy() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not POF_VALID.
The pool_associate() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not POF_VALID or the parameters are supplied from a different configuration.
POE_SYSTEM A system error has occurred. Check the system error code for more details.
The pool_disassociate() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not POF_VALID or the parameters are supplied from a different configuration.
POE_INVALID_CONF No resources could be located for the supplied configuration or the supplied configuration is not valid (for example,
more than one default for a resource type was found.)
POE_SYSTEM A system error has occurred. Check the system error code for more details.
The pool_info() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not POF_VALID or the flags paramter is neither 0 or 1.
POE_INVALID_CONF The configuration is invalid.
POE_SYSTEM A system error has occurred. Check the system error code for more details.
The pool_query_pool_resources() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not POF_VALID.
POE_INVALID_CONF The configuration is invalid.
POE_SYSTEM A system error has occurred. Check the system error code for more details.
USAGE
Pool names are unique across pools in a given configuration file. It is an error to attempt to create a pool with a name that is currently
used by another pool within the same configuration.
