channel management functions:
relay_open(base_filename, parent, subbuf_size, n_subbufs,
- callbacks)
+ callbacks, private_data)
relay_close(chan)
relay_flush(chan)
relay_reset(chan)
And an example relay_open() invocation using them:
- chan = relay_open("cpu", NULL, SUBBUF_SIZE, N_SUBBUFS, &relay_callbacks);
+ chan = relay_open("cpu", NULL, SUBBUF_SIZE, N_SUBBUFS, &relay_callbacks, NULL);
If the create_buf_file() callback fails, or isn't defined, channel
creation and thus relay_open() will fail.
writes in a spinlock, or by copying a write function from relay.h and
creating a local version that internally does the proper locking.
+The private_data passed into relay_open() allows clients to associate
+user-defined data with a channel, and is immediately available
+(including in create_buf_file()) via chan->private_data or
+buf->chan->private_data.
