Detailed Description

A mutable holder of application content.

Typedef Documentation

◆ pn_message_t

typedef struct pn_message_t pn_message_t

An AMQP Message object.

An AMQP Message object is a mutable holder of message content that may be used to generate and encode or decode and access AMQP formatted message data.

Function Documentation

◆ pn_message()

pn_message_t * pn_message ( void  )

Construct a new pn_message_t.

Every message that is constructed must be freed using pn_message_free().

Returns
pointer to a new pn_message_t
Examples
direct.c, receive.c, and send.c.

◆ pn_message_free()

void pn_message_free ( pn_message_t msg)

Free a previously constructed pn_message_t.

Parameters
[in]msgpointer to a pn_message_t or NULL
Examples
direct.c, receive.c, and send.c.

◆ pn_message_clear()

void pn_message_clear ( pn_message_t msg)

Clears the content of a pn_message_t.

When pn_message_clear returns, the supplied pn_message_t will be emptied of all content and effectively returned to the same state as if it was just created.

Parameters
[in]msgpointer to the pn_message_t to be cleared
Examples
send.c.

◆ pn_message_errno()

int pn_message_errno ( pn_message_t msg)

Access the error code of a message.

Every operation on a message that can result in an error will set the message's error code in case of error. The pn_message_errno() call will access the error code of the most recent failed operation.

Parameters
[in]msga message
Returns
the message's error code

◆ pn_message_error()

pn_error_t * pn_message_error ( pn_message_t msg)

Access the error information for a message.

Every operation on a message that can result in an error will update the error information held by its error descriptor should that operation fail. The pn_message_error() call will access the error information of the most recent failed operation. The pointer returned by this call is valid until the message is freed.

Parameters
[in]msga message
Returns
the message's error descriptor
Examples
direct.c, and send.c.

◆ pn_message_is_inferred()

bool pn_message_is_inferred ( pn_message_t msg)

Get the inferred flag for a message.

The inferred flag for a message indicates how the message content is encoded into AMQP sections. If inferred is true then binary and list values in the body of the message will be encoded as AMQP DATA and AMQP SEQUENCE sections, respectively. If inferred is false, then all values in the body of the message will be encoded as AMQP VALUE sections regardless of their type. Use pn_message_set_inferred to set the value.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
Returns
the value of the inferred flag for the message

◆ pn_message_set_inferred()

int pn_message_set_inferred ( pn_message_t msg,
bool  inferred 
)

Set the inferred flag for a message.

See pn_message_is_inferred() for a description of what the inferred flag is.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
[in]inferredthe new value of the inferred flag
Returns
zero on success or an error code on failure

◆ pn_message_is_durable()

bool pn_message_is_durable ( pn_message_t msg)

The durable flag indicates that any parties taking responsibility for the message must durably store the content.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
Returns
the value of the durable flag

◆ pn_message_set_durable()

int pn_message_set_durable ( pn_message_t msg,
bool  durable 
)

Set the durable flag for a message.

See pn_message_is_durable() for a description of the durable flag.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
[in]durablethe new value of the durable flag
Returns
zero on success or an error code on failure

◆ pn_message_get_priority()

uint8_t pn_message_get_priority ( pn_message_t msg)

Parameters
[in]msga message object
Returns
the message priority

◆ pn_message_set_priority()

int pn_message_set_priority ( pn_message_t msg,
uint8_t  priority 
)

[in]prioritythe new priority for the message
Returns
zero on success or an error code on failure

◆ pn_message_get_ttl()

pn_millis_t pn_message_get_ttl ( pn_message_t msg)

Get the ttl for a message.

The ttl for a message determines how long a message is considered live. When a message is held for retransmit, the ttl is decremented. Once the ttl reaches zero, the message is considered dead. Once a message is considered dead it may be dropped. Use pn_message_set_ttl() to set the ttl for a message.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
Returns
the ttl in milliseconds

◆ pn_message_set_ttl()

int pn_message_set_ttl ( pn_message_t msg,

When set to true, the first acquirer flag for a message indicates that the recipient of the message is the first recipient to acquire the message, i.e. there have been no failed delivery attempts to other acquirers. Note that this does not mean the message has not been delivered to, but not acquired, by other recipients.

Parameters

Get/set the annotations for a message.

This operation returns a pointer to a pn_data_t representing the content of the annotations section of a message. The pointer is valid until the message is freed and may be used to both access and modify the content of the annotations section of a message.

The pn_data_t must either be empty or consist of a symbol keyed map in order to be considered valid message annotations.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
Returns
a pointer to the message annotations

◆ pn_message_properties()

pn_data_t * pn_message_properties ( pn_message_t msg)

Get and set the properties for a message.

This operation returns a pointer to a pn_data_t representing the content of the properties section of a message. The pointer is valid until the message is freed and may be used to both access and modify the content of the properties section of a message.

The pn_data_t must either be empty or consist of a string keyed map in order to be considered valid message properties.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
Returns
a pointer to the message properties

◆ pn_message_body()

pn_data_t * pn_message_body ( pn_message_t msg)

Get and set the body of a message.

This operation returns a pointer to a pn_data_t representing the body of a message. The pointer is valid until the message is freed and may be used to both access and modify the content of the message body.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
Returns
a pointer to the message body
Examples
direct.c, receive.c, and send.c.

◆ pn_message_decode()

int pn_message_decode ( pn_message_t msg,
const char *  bytes,
size_t  size 
)

Decode/load message content from AMQP formatted binary data.

Upon invoking this operation, any existing message content will be cleared and replaced with the content from the provided binary data.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
[in]bytesthe start of the encoded AMQP data
[in]sizethe size of the encoded AMQP data
Returns
zero on success or an error code on failure
Examples
direct.c, and receive.c.

◆ pn_message_encode()

int pn_message_encode ( pn_message_t msg,
char *  bytes,
size_t *  size 
)

Encode a message as AMQP formatted binary data.

If the buffer space provided is insufficient to store the content held in the message, the operation will fail and return a PN_OVERFLOW error code.

Parameters
[in]msga message object
[in]bytesthe start of empty buffer space
[in,out]sizethe amount of empty buffer space. On return size holds the amount of data written
Returns
zero on success or an error code on failure

◆ pn_message_encode2()

ssize_t pn_message_encode2 ( pn_message_t msg,
pn_rwbytes_t buf 
)

Unsettled API: Encode a message, allocating space if necessary

Parameters
[in]msgA message object.
[in,out]bufUsed to encode msg. If buf->start == NULL memory is allocated with malloc(). If buf->size is not large enough, buffer is expanded with realloc(). On return buf holds the address and size of the final buffer. buf->size may be larger than the length of the encoded message.
Returns
The length of the encoded message or an error code (<0). On error pn_message_error(msg) will provide more information.

◆ pn_message_send()

ssize_t pn_message_send ( pn_message_t msg,
pn_link_t sender,
pn_rwbytes_t buf 
)

Unsettled API

Encode and send a message on a sender link.

Performs the following steps:

Note: you must create a delivery for the message before calling pn_message_send() see pn_delivery()

Parameters
[in]msgA message object.
[in]senderA sending link.
[in,out]bufSee pn_message_encode2. If buf == NULL then any memory needed for encoding will be allocated and freed by pn_message_send().
Returns
The length of the encoded message or an error code (<0). On error pn_message_error(msg) will provide more information.
Examples
direct.c, and send.c.

◆ pn_message_data()

int pn_message_data ( pn_message_t msg,
pn_data_t data 
)

Save message content into a pn_data_t object data.

The data object will first be cleared.
