Detailed Description

Dealing with SUID helper processes.

Provides an API for dealing with (SUID) helper processes that communicate via GNUNET_MessageHeaders on STDIN/STDOUT.

Typedef Documentation

◆ GNUNET_HELPER_ExceptionCallback

typedef void(* GNUNET_HELPER_ExceptionCallback) (void *cls)

Callback that will be called when the helper process dies.

This is not called when the helper process is stopped using GNUNET_HELPER_stop()

Parameters
clsthe closure from GNUNET_HELPER_start()

Definition at line 64 of file gnunet_helper_lib.h.

◆ GNUNET_HELPER_Continuation

typedef void(* GNUNET_HELPER_Continuation) (void *cls, enum GNUNET_GenericReturnValue result)

Continuation function.

Parameters
clsclosure
resultGNUNET_OK on success, GNUNET_NO if helper process died GNUNET_SYSERR during GNUNET_HELPER_destroy

Definition at line 148 of file gnunet_helper_lib.h.

Function Documentation

◆ GNUNET_HELPER_start()

struct GNUNET_HELPER_Handle* GNUNET_HELPER_start ( int  with_control_pipe,
const char *  binary_name,
char *const  binary_argv[],
GNUNET_MessageTokenizerCallback  cb,
GNUNET_HELPER_ExceptionCallback  exp_cb,
void *  cb_cls 
)

Starts a helper and begins reading from it.

The helper process is restarted when it dies except when it is stopped using GNUNET_HELPER_stop() or when the exp_cb callback is not NULL.

Parameters
with_control_pipedoes the helper support the use of a control pipe for signalling?
binary_namename of the binary to run
binary_argvNULL-terminated list of arguments to give when starting the binary (this argument must not be modified by the client for the lifetime of the helper handle)
cbfunction to call if we get messages from the helper
exp_cbthe exception callback to call. Set this to NULL if the helper process has to be restarted automatically when it dies/crashes
cb_clsclosure for the above callbacks
Returns
the new Handle, NULL on error
