Module ipc.context
IPC context provides utilities for manipulating an IPC request.
Functions
| IpcContext.arguments:valueType (idx) | Get the type of an argument. |
| IpcContext.arguments:value (idx) | Get the raw argument value. |
| IpcContext.context:rawArgument (idx) | Get the raw argument value. |
| IpcContext.context:ownThread () | Get the thread owning the context. |
| IpcContext.context:argument (idx) | Get the value of the argument processed. |
Fields
| IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED | The argument type is not known. |
| IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_HANDLE | Argument is a kernel handle. |
| IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_DES8 | Argument is a 8-bit descriptor. |
| IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_DES16 | Argument is a 16-bit descriptor. |
| IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_DESC8 | Argument is a 8-bit constant descriptor. |
| IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_DESC16 | Argument is a 16-bit constant descriptor. |
Functions
- IpcContext.arguments:valueType (idx)
-
Get the type of an argument.
Parameters:
- idx The argument to retrieve the type.
Returns:
-
One of the
IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_constants. - IpcContext.arguments:value (idx)
-
Get the raw argument value.
Parameters:
- idx The index of the argument to retrieve value from.
Returns:
-
Argument in the form of 32-bit integer value.
- IpcContext.context:rawArgument (idx)
-
Get the raw argument value.
This is a direct call to IpcContext.arguments:value.
Parameters:
- idx The index of the argument to retrieve value from.
Returns:
-
Argument in the form of 32-bit integer value.
- IpcContext.context:ownThread ()
-
Get the thread owning the context.
This is the thread that want to send the IPC message.
Returns:
-
Own thread as
kernel.thread. - IpcContext.context:argument (idx)
-
Get the value of the argument processed.
For descriptor argument type, this will return either a std.descriptor8 or std.descriptor16 class.
Otherwise, this will return a 32-bit integer.
Parameters:
- idx The index of the argument to retrieve value from.
Returns:
-
The value at the target index processed.
Fields
- IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED
- The argument type is not known.
- IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_HANDLE
- Argument is a kernel handle.
- IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_DES8
- Argument is a 8-bit descriptor.
- IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_DES16
- Argument is a 16-bit descriptor.
- IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_DESC8
- Argument is a 8-bit constant descriptor.
- IpcContext.IPC_ARGUMENT_TYPE_DESC16
- Argument is a 16-bit constant descriptor.
