April 2024 - This site, and Kamaelia are being updated. There is significant work needed, and PRs are welcome.
For examples and more explanations, see the module level docs.
SNACExchanger() -> component that has methods specialized for
sending and receiving FLAPs over Channel 2 (FLAPs whose payloads are
SNACs).
For a more thorough discussion on SNACs, see module level docs.
Inboxes
Outboxes
Methods defined here
Warning!
You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods
(except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to
their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.
__init__(self)
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for
signature
recvSnac(self)
receives FLAPs containing SNACs and parses the SNAC data.
sendSnac(self, fam, sub,
body)
constructs a SNAC by calling self.makeSnac and sends it out the
"outbox".
FIXME: It would be extremely helpful to have a predefined set of SNAC
constants or perhaps even classes to pass to this method. For example,
self.sendSnac(04, 06, data) is a lot less clear than something like
self.sendSnac(MESSAGE_TO_USER, data).
waitSnac(self, fam, sub)
Yields 1 until a SNAC of the requested family and subtype is
received. The last value yielded is the payload of the requested
SNAC.
- Usage::
-
for result in self.waitSnac(family, subtype): yield 1.
The body of the requested SNAC will be assigned to "result".
Feedback
Got a problem with the documentation? Something unclear that could be
clearer? Want to help improve it? Constructive criticism is very welcome
- especially if you can suggest a better rewording!
Please leave you feedback here in reply to the documentation thread in the
Kamaelia blog.
