Detailed Description

Function Documentation

GetAtomicString() [1/2]

TimestampedString nt::GetAtomicString	(	NT_Handle	subentry,
		std::string_view	defaultValue )

Get the last published value along with its timestamp.

If no value has been published, returns the passed defaultValue and a timestamp of 0.

Parameters

subentry	subscriber or entry handle
defaultValue	default value to return if no value has been published

Returns

timestamped value

GetAtomicString() [2/2]

TimestampedStringView nt::GetAtomicString	(	NT_Handle	subentry,
		wpi::SmallVectorImpl< char > &	buf,
		std::string_view	defaultValue )

GetString() [1/2]

std::string nt::GetString	(	NT_Handle	subentry,
		std::string_view	defaultValue )

Get the last published value.

If no value has been published, returns the passed defaultValue.

Parameters

subentry	subscriber or entry handle
defaultValue	default value to return if no value has been published

Returns

value

GetString() [2/2]

std::string_view nt::GetString	(	NT_Handle	subentry,
		wpi::SmallVectorImpl< char > &	buf,
		std::string_view	defaultValue )

ReadQueueString()

std::vector< TimestampedString > nt::ReadQueueString

(

NT_Handle

subentry

)

Get an array of all value changes since the last call to ReadQueue.

Also provides a timestamp for each value.

Note

The "poll storage" subscribe option can be used to set the queue depth.

Parameters

subentry

subscriber or entry handle

Returns

Array of timestamped values; empty array if no new changes have been published since the previous call.

ReadQueueValuesString()

std::vector< std::string > nt::ReadQueueValuesString

(

NT_Handle

subentry

)

Get an array of all value changes since the last call to ReadQueue.

Note

The "poll storage" subscribe option can be used to set the queue depth.

Parameters

subentry

subscriber or entry handle

Returns

Array of values; empty array if no new changes have been published since the previous call.

SetDefaultString()

bool nt::SetDefaultString	(	NT_Handle	pubentry,
		std::string_view	defaultValue )

Publish a default value.

On reconnect, a default value will never be used in preference to a published value.

Parameters

pubentry	publisher or entry handle
defaultValue	default value

SetString()

bool nt::SetString	(	NT_Handle	pubentry,
		std::string_view	value,
		int64_t	time = 0 )

Publish a new value.

Parameters

pubentry	publisher or entry handle
value	value to publish
time	timestamp; 0 indicates current NT time should be used
