[in]	envp	Notification envelope data tree.
[in]	op	Notification body data tree.
[in]	user_data	Arbitrary user data passed to the callback.

Function Documentation

struct nc_session* nc_connect_inout	(	int	fdin,
		int	fdout,
		struct ly_ctx *	ctx
	)

Connect to the NETCONF server via proviaded input/output file descriptors.

Transport layer is supposed to be already set. Function do not cover authentication or any other manipulation with the transport layer, it only establish NETCONF session by sending and processing NETCONF <hello> messages.

Parameters

[in]	fdin	Input file descriptor for reading (clear) data from NETCONF server.
[in]	fdout	Output file descriptor for writing (clear) data for NETCONF server.
[in,out]	ctx	Optional custom context to use for the session. If not set, a default context is created. Any YANG modules not present in the context and supported by the server are loaded using <get-schema> (if supported) and/or by searching the searchpath (see nc_client_set_schema_searchpath()).

Returns: Created NETCONF session object or NULL in case of error.

struct nc_session* nc_connect_unix	(	const char *	address,
		struct ly_ctx *	ctx
	)

Connect to the NETCONF server via unix socket.

Connect to netconf server via an unix socket. Function do not cover authentication or any other manipulation with the transport layer, it only establish NETCONF session by sending and processing NETCONF <hello> messages.

Parameters

[in]	address	Path to the unix socket.
[in,out]	ctx	Optional custom context to use for the session. If not set, a default context is created. Any YANG modules not present in the context and supported by the server are loaded using <get-schema> (if supported) and/or by searching the searchpath (see nc_client_set_schema_searchpath()).

Returns: Created NETCONF session object or NULL in case of error.

const char* const* nc_session_get_cpblts ( const struct nc_session * session )

Get session capabilities.

Parameters

[in] session Session to get the information from.

Returns: NULL-terminated array of the session capabilities.

const char* nc_session_cpblt	(	const struct nc_session *	session,
		const char *	capab
	)

Check capability presence in a session.

Parameters

[in]	session	Session to check.
[in]	capab	Capability to look for, capability with any additional suffix will match.

Returns: Matching capability, NULL if none found.

int nc_session_ntf_thread_running ( const struct nc_session * session )

Check whether the session has a notification thread running.

Parameters

[in] session Session to check.

Returns: 1 if notfication thread is running, 0 otherwise.

NC_MSG_TYPE nc_recv_reply	(	struct nc_session *	session,
		struct nc_rpc *	rpc,
		uint64_t	msgid,
		int	timeout,
		struct lyd_node **	envp,
		struct lyd_node **	op
	)

Receive NETCONF RPC reply.

Note: This function can be called in a single thread only.

Parameters

[in]	session	NETCONF session from which the function gets data. It must be the client side session object.
[in]	rpc	Original RPC this should be the reply to.
[in]	msgid	Expected message ID of the reply.
[in]	timeout	Timeout for reading in milliseconds. Use negative value for infinite waiting and 0 for immediate return if data are not available on the wire.
[out]	envp	NETCONF rpc-reply XML envelopes.
[out]	op	Parsed NETCONF reply data, if any (none for <ok> or error replies). Set only on NC_MSG_REPLY and NC_MSG_REPLY_ERR_MSGID return.

Returns: NC_MSG_REPLY for success, NC_MSG_WOULDBLOCK if timeout has elapsed, NC_MSG_ERROR if reading has failed, NC_MSG_NOTIF if a notification was read instead (call this function again to get the reply), and NC_MSG_REPLY_ERR_MSGID if a reply with missing or wrong message-id was received.

NC_MSG_TYPE nc_recv_notif	(	struct nc_session *	session,
		int	timeout,
		struct lyd_node **	envp,
		struct lyd_node **	op
	)

Receive NETCONF Notification.

Parameters

[in]	session	NETCONF session from which the function gets data. It must be the client side session object.
[in]	timeout	Timeout for reading in milliseconds. Use negative value for infinite waiting and 0 for immediate return if data are not available on the wire.
[out]	envp	NETCONF notification XML envelopes.
[out]	op	Parsed NETCONF notification data.

Returns: NC_MSG_NOTIF for success, NC_MSG_WOULDBLOCK if timeout has elapsed, NC_MSG_ERROR if reading has failed, and NC_MSG_REPLY if a reply was read instead (call this function again to get a notification).

int nc_recv_notif_dispatch	(	struct nc_session *	session,
		nc_notif_dispatch_clb	notif_clb
	)

Receive NETCONF Notifications in a separate thread until the session is terminated or <notificationComplete> is received.

Parameters

[in]	session	Netconf session to read notifications from.
[in]	notif_clb	Function that is called for every received notification (including <notificationComplete>). Parameters are the session the notification was received on and the notification data.

Returns: 0 if the thread was successfully created, -1 on error.

int nc_recv_notif_dispatch_data	(	struct nc_session *	session,
		nc_notif_dispatch_clb	notif_clb,
		void *	user_data,
		void()(void )	free_data
	)

Receive NETCONF Notifications in a separate thread until the session is terminated or <notificationComplete> is received. Similar to nc_recv_notif_dispatch() but allows to set arbitrary user data that can be freed as well.

Parameters

[in]	session	Netconf session to read notifications from.
[in]	notif_clb	Callback that is called for every received notification (including <notificationComplete>). Parameters are the session the notification was received on and the notification data.
[in]	user_data	Arbitrary user data.
[in]	free_data	Callback for freeing the user data after notif thread exit.

Returns: 0 if the thread was successfully created, -1 on error.

NC_MSG_TYPE nc_send_rpc	(	struct nc_session *	session,
		struct nc_rpc *	rpc,
		int	timeout,
		uint64_t *	msgid
	)

Send NETCONF RPC message via the session.

Parameters

[in]	session	NETCONF session where the RPC will be written.
[in]	rpc	NETCONF RPC object to send via the specified session.
[in]	timeout	Timeout for writing in milliseconds. Use negative value for infinite waiting and 0 for return if data cannot be sent immediately.
[out]	msgid	If RPC was successfully sent, this is it's message ID.

Returns: NC_MSG_RPC on success, NC_MSG_WOULDBLOCK in case of a busy session, and NC_MSG_ERROR on error.

void nc_client_session_set_not_strict ( struct nc_session * session )

Make a session not strict when sending RPCs and receiving RPC replies. In other words, it will silently skip unknown nodes without an error.

Generally, no such data should be worked with, so use this function only when you know what you are doing and you understand the consequences.

Parameters

[in] session NETCONF client session.
