Function Documentation

void del_StreamDesc

(

StreamDesc *

pThis

)

Delete a stream descriptor and all it's sub objects.

Parameters

pThis

The stream descriptor to erase, the pointer should be set to NULL by the caller.

size_t StreamDesc_getNPktDesc

(

const StreamDesc *

pThis

)

Get the number of packet descriptors defined for this stream.

Warning

It is possible to have a non-contiguous set of Packet IDs. Unless the application insures by some mechanism that packet IDs are not skipped when calling functions like StreamDesc_addPktDesc() then the results of this function will not useful for iteration.

Parameters

pThis

The stream descriptor to query

Returns

Then number of packet descriptors attached to this stream descriptor. For better performance the caller should reused the return value as all possible packet ID's are tested to see home many are defined.

bool StreamDesc_isValidId	(	const StreamDesc *	pThis,
		int	nPktId
	)

Check to see if an packet ID has been defined for the stream.

Parameters

pThis	The stream to check
nPktId	The ID in question

Returns

true if a packet of that type is defined on the stream false otherwise

DasDesc* Das2Desc_decode

(

DasBuf *

pBuf

)

Das2 Stream Descriptor Factory Function.

Returns

Either a StreamDesc or a PktDesc object depending on the data received, or NULL if the input could not be parsed.
