cfg_psm_memops(3)					     cfg_psm_memops(3)

NAME
       cfg_psm_memops,	cfg_psm_memadd,	 cfg_psm_memrem, cfg_psm_memget - Per‐
       form member operations on the Process Set manager (PSM) set

SYNOPSIS
       Library: configuration management library, libcfg.a.  #include <cfg.h>

       cfg_status_t cfg_psm_memadd(
	       const char *node,
	       const char *catnam,
	       pid_t pid ); cfg_status_t cfg_psm_memrem(
	       const char *node,
	       const char *catnam,
	       pid_t pid ); cfg_status_t cfg_psm_memget(
	       const char *node,
	       const char *catnam,
	       pid_t pid,
	       psm_memrsp_t **memrsp ); void cfg_psm_memfree(
	       psm_memrsp_t **memrsp );

DESCRIPTION
       Refer to PSM(4) for a description of the	 Process  Set  Manager,	 which
       supports the functions described in this reference page.

   Functions
       Use  these functions as follows: Adds a process instance defined by the
       value of pid in the catnam category  to the process  set	 on  the  host
       defined	by  the	 value	of  host  node.	  Removes the process instance
       defined by the value of pid in the catnam category from the process set
       on  the	host defined by the value of host node.	 Retrieves the process
       instance information from the process Sset on host node. The  following
       conditions  apply:  If the value of pid is not _PSM_ALLPID, information
       on a specific process is returned.  Specify  the	 catnam	 to  ensure  a
       process is in a specific category, or specify _PSM_ALLCAT if this check
       is not wanted.  If the value of pid is _PSM_ALLPID  and	the  value  of
       catnam  is  not	_PSM_ALLCAT, all instances for a specific category are
       returned.  If the value of pid is _PSM_ALLPID and the value  of	catnam
       is  _PSM_ALLCAT, all instances in all categories are returned. When the
       response is complete, you must  free  memory  using  cfg_psm_memfree().
       Frees the memrsp array allocated by cfg_psm_memget().

   Operation and Usage Instructions
       Upon successful completion of the cfg_psm_memget() function, the memrsp
       parameter  points to an array of one or more struct  psm_memrsp_s  ele‐
       ments.  These  elements	are  declared in the psm.h header file and are
       duplicated below. Each element represents a specific process  instance.
       In case of an error, the parameter memrsp is set to NULL:
	typedef struct psm_memrsp_s {
	   unsigned int mrs_listidx;	 /* member number in list */
	   unsigned int mrs_listcnt;	 /* total members in list */
	   unsigned int mrs_total;	 /* total matching members */
	   unsigned int mrs_pid;	 /* process id */
	   unsigned int mrs_exitcode;	 /* exit status code */
	   unsigned int mrs_flags;	 /* process flags (PSM_FL_*) */
	   char mrs_name[PSM_MEMLEN];	 /* unique name of member */
	   char mrs_state[PSM_STATELEN]; /* state ("running", etc.) */
	   char mrs_argv[PSM_ARGVLEN];	 /* saved argv */
	 } psm_memrsp_t;

       These  elements	are  defined  as  follows: mrs_listidx holds the index
       (starting at 1) of an instance entry in	the  array.   mrs_listcnt  and
       mrs_total  hold	the total number of instances. Both values will always
       be the same when you use the cfg_psm_memget() function.	mrs_pid is the
       process	identifier  (PID)  associated with the instance.  mrs_exitcode
       holds the termination status if the process has exited. This element is
       suitable for use with the wait status macros. See wait(2).  mrs_name is
       a cluster-wide unique name of  the form node-id-process-id.   mrs_state
       is  a  user-modifiable  string  containing  useful  state  information.
       mrs_argv contains the process argument  vector  obtained	 from  address
       space  when  cfg_psm_memadd()  is  invoked.   mrs_flags	are bit flags,
       described as follows: PSM_FL_EXIT is set if  the	 process  has  exited.
       PSM_FL_ARGTRUNC is set if mrs_argv was truncated.

       In case of a generic query and no instances are registered, an array of
       one element is returned with all fields set to 0.

       Processes can self-register with the PSM using the  _PSM_CAT_*  indices
       and  the	 _PSM_REGSELF(idx) macro defined in the cfg.h header file. See
       the EXAMPLES section  for  a  usage  example.  However,	the  following
       caveats	apply:	Take  care  when  placing  the _PSM_REGSELF() macro in
       existing services.  Some processes call fork, after which,  the	parent
       process exits and the child process persists. In such cases, insert the
       _PSM_REGSELF() macro in the child code for the  child  process.	 After
       initialization,	some processes modify their argument vector. If you do
       not nsert the _PSM_REGSELF() macro before this event occurs  the	 saved
       argument vector will be useless.

RESTRICTIONS
       The  node  should  be  specified	 as  _PSM_MYNODE when operating on the
       process set of the local host, otherwise it can contain the name	 of  a
       target host.  Future implementations will permit _PSM_ALLNODE to gather
       cluster-wide information, or information from a comma-separated list of
       host  names.  A successful response from any node guarantees a CFG_SUC‐
       CESS return to the caller (errors from the other	 nodes	are  ignored).
       In the present implementation, multinode queries return an ENOTSUP sub‐
       system error.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, the cfg_psm_memadd(), cfg_psm_memrem(), and
       cfg_psm_memget()	 functions  return  CFG_SUCCESS.  Other	 return values
       indicate that an error has occurred.  For  information  about  handling
       return  values  from  routines in the configuration management library,
       refer to libcfg(3).

ERRORS
       The following subsystem errors might be merged with a CFG_FRAME_SUCCESS
       response:  The  specified instance pid was found to exist in a category
       during an add operation.	 The process is being created  or  doing  exec
       during  a  proxy-add operation.	There was a general KSM failure during
       an add operation.  The PSM process set is not registered with KSM.  The
       category	 or  pid  was  not  found.   User  or kernel memory allocation
       failed.	The maximum number of instances	 is  exceeded  during  an  add
       operation.   This  operation  is not yet implemented.  The instance pid
       could not be found in process table during an add operation.

EXAMPLES
       The following example registers a process in the mountd category on the
       local host:

	      #include <cfg.h>

		    _PSM_REGSELF(_PSM_CAT_MOUNTD);

	      In  this example, a proxy is registering process id 123 into the
	      abcd category on remote host zeus:

	      cfg_status_t retval;

		    if ((retval	 =  cfg_psm_memadd("zeus",  "abcd",  123))  !=
	      CFG_SUCCESS)	  print_error(retval);

	      The following example retrieves all instances in the mountd cat‐
	      egory on the local host and determines how many are  still  run‐
	      ning.

	      #include <cfg.h>
		    #include <stdio.h>

		    struct psm_memrsp_s *memrsp, *msp, *msp_e;
		    cfg_status_t retval;
		    const char *catnam = "mountd";
		    int runcount = 0;

	      retval   =   cfg_psm_memget(_PSM_MYNODE,	 catnam,  _PSM_ALLPID,
	      &memrsp);
		    if (retval != CFG_SUCCESS) {	print_error(retval);
		    } else {	    msp = memrsp;	   msp_e  =  memrsp  +
	      msp->mrs_listcnt;		 while	(msp  < msp_e) {	    if
	      ((msp->mrs_flags & PSM_FL_EXIT) ==  0)		   runcount++;
			 msp++;	       }	cfg_psm_memfree(memrsp);
	      printf("running %d instance(s) of %s\n", runcount, catnam);
		    }
