SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
#include <dat/udat.h>
DAT_RETURN
dat_ep_set_watermark (
IN DAT_EP_HANDLE ep_handle,
IN DAT_COUNT soft_high_watermark,
IN DAT_COUNT hard_high_watermark
)
PARAMETERS
ep_handle The handle for an instance of an Endpoint.
soft_high_watermark The soft high watermark for the number of Recv
buffers consumed by the Endpoint.
hard_high_watermark The hard high watermark for the number of Recv
buffers consumed by the Endpoint.
DESCRIPTION
The dat_ep_set_watermark() function sets the soft and hard high water‐
mark values for EP and arms EP for generating asynchronous events for
high watermarks. An asynchronous event will be generated for IA
async_evd when the number of Recv buffers at EP exceeds the soft high
watermark for the first time. A connection broken event will be gener‐
ated for EP connect_evd when the number of Recv buffers at EP exceeds
the hard high watermark. These can occur during this call or when EP
takes a buffer from the SRQ or EP RQ. The soft and hard high watermark
asynchronous event generation and setting are independent of each
other.
The asynchronous event for a soft high watermark is generated only once
per setting. Once an event is generated, no new asynchronous events for
the soft high watermark is generated until the EP is again set for the
soft high watermark. If the Consumer is once again interested in the
event, the Consumer should again set the soft high watermark.
If the Consumer is not interested in a soft or hard high watermark, the
value of DAT_WATERMARK_INFINITE can be specified for the case that is
the default value. This value specifies that a non-asynchronous event
will be generated for a high watermark EP attribute for which this
value is set. It does not prevent generation of a connection broken
event for EP when no Recv buffer is available for a message arrived on
the EP connection.
The operation is supported for all states of Endpoint.
RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS
The operation was successful.
DAT_INVALID_HANDLE
The ep_handle argument is an invalid DAT handle.
DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER
One of the parameters is invalid.
DAT_MODEL_NOT_SUPPORTED
The requested Model was not supported by the Provider. The Provider
does not support EP Soft or Hard High Watermarks.
USAGE
For a hard high watermark, the Provider is ready to generate a connec‐
tion broken event as soon as the connection is established.
If the asynchronous event for a soft or hard high watermark has not yet
been generated, this call simply modifies the values for these
attributes. The Provider remains armed for generation of these asyn‐
chronous events.
Regardless of whether an asynchronous event for the soft and hard high
watermark has been generated, this operation will set the generation of
an asynchronous event with the Consumer-provided high watermark values.
If the new high watermark values are below the current number of
Receive DTOs at EP, an asynchronous event will be generated immedi‐
ately. Otherwise the old soft or hard (or both) high watermark values
are simply replaced with the new ones.
