Detailed Description

Wrapper module to create and access single CommManager instance.

The CommModule module is a frontend for the communications manager. Upon being added to the module manager (e.g. in its init() method), it creates a single CommManager instance with parameters retrieved from the configuration database. In particular, the following configuration symbols are supported:

• comm_device : Determines which OS device is to be used for the underlying manager. Currently supported valued are "net" for ethernet or "/dev/ttyS*" for a RS232 serial device.
• comm_port : If the comm device is configured to be ethernet, the port number to be used to listen for incoming connections.
• comm_resend_interval : Interval in milliseconds between attempts to resend stream messages that are not acknowledged (see CommManager documentation).
• comm_thread_prio : Priority of the communications subthreads. Negative values are relative to the main loop priority, whereas positive values are absolute QNX priorities. Note that this is currently ignored in Linux.

CommManager* CommModule::getManager (  void   )  [inline]

This method returns the single CommManager instance created upon initialization. It is recommended that this instance is used for all communication operations in RHexLib. The creation of a second communications manager will waste resources and may cause weird behavior.
