Modules

Structs

Log overrides: applications can use this API to intercept logging calls and use their own implementations

Analogous to struct timespec. On some machines, absolute times may be in local time.

A single argument… each argument has a key and a value

Context that can be used by metadata credentials plugin in order to create auth related metadata.

Pluggable server-side metadata processor object.

value, if not NULL, is guaranteed to be NULL terminated.

Reader for byte buffers. Iterates over slices in the byte buffer

An array of arguments that can be passed around.

Information requested from the channel.

Specifies an interface class to be used as a tag for callback-based completion queues. This can be used directly, as the first element of a struct in C, or as a base class in C++. Its “run” value should be assigned to some non-member function, such as a static method.

The default message compression algorithm. It’ll be used in the absence of call specific settings. This option corresponds to the channel argument key behind \a GRPC_COMPRESSION_CHANNEL_DEFAULT_ALGORITHM.

The default compression level. It’ll be used in the absence of call specific settings. This option corresponds to the channel argument key behind \a GRPC_COMPRESSION_CHANNEL_DEFAULT_LEVEL. If present, takes precedence over \a default_algorithm. TODO(dgq): currently only available for server channels.

The result of an operation.

A single metadata element

The following fields are reserved for grpc internal use. There is no need to initialize them, and they will be set to garbage during calls to grpc.

grpc_metadata_credentials plugin is an API user provided structure used to create grpc_credentials objects that can be set on a channel (composed) or a call. See grpc_credentials_metadata_create_from_plugin below. The grpc client stack will call the get_metadata method of the plugin for every call in scope for the credentials created from it.

Operation data: one field for each op type (except SEND_CLOSE_FROM_CLIENT which has no arguments)

Reserved for future usage

ownership of the array is with the caller, but ownership of the elements stays with the call object (ie key, value members are owned by the call object, recv_initial_metadata->array is owned by the caller). After the operation completes, call grpc_metadata_array_destroy on this value, or reuse it in a future op.

ownership of the byte buffer is moved to the caller; the caller must call grpc_byte_buffer_destroy on this value, or reuse it in a future op. The returned byte buffer will be NULL if trailing metadata was received instead of a message.

If \a is_set, \a compression_level will be used for the call. Otherwise, \a compression_level won’t be considered

A grpc_slice s, if initialized, represents the byte range s.bytes[0..s.length-1].

Represents an expandable array of slices, to be interpreted as a single item.

Object that holds a private key / certificate chain pair in PEM format.

Object that holds additional peer-verification options on a secure channel.

Options for creating STS Oauth Token Exchange credentials following the IETF draft https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-token-exchange-16. Optional fields may be set to NULL or empty string. It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the subject and actor tokens are refreshed on disk at the specified paths. This API is used for experimental purposes for now and may change in the future.

EXPERIMENTAL API - Subject to change

EXPERIMENTAL API - Subject to change

Deprecated in favor of grpc_ssl_verify_peer_options. It will be removed after all of its call sites are migrated to grpc_ssl_verify_peer_options. Object that holds additional peer-verification options on a secure channel.

Enums

The clocks we support.

The severity of a log message - use the #defines below when calling into gpr_log to additionally supply file and line data

Type specifier for grpc_arg

Result of a grpc call. If the caller satisfies the prerequisites of a particular operation, the grpc_call_error returned will be GRPC_CALL_OK. Receiving any other value listed here is an indication of a bug in the caller.

The type of completion (for grpc_event)

The various compression algorithms supported by gRPC (not sorted by compression level)

Compression levels allow a party with knowledge of its peer’s accepted encodings to request compression in an abstract way. The level-algorithm mapping is performed internally and depends on the peer’s supported compression algorithms.

Connectivity state of a channel.

Specifies the type of APIs to use to pop events from the completion queue

Completion queues internally MAY maintain a set of file descriptors in a structure called ‘pollset’. This enum specifies if a completion queue has an associated pollset and any restrictions on the type of file descriptors that can be present in the pollset.

Type of local connections for which local channel/server credentials will be applied. It supports UDS and local TCP connections.

How to handle payloads for a registered method

Callback results for dynamically loading a SSL certificate config.

Results for the SSL roots override callback.

The TLS versions that are supported by the SSL stack.

Functions

printf to a newly-allocated string. The set of supported formats may vary between platforms.

Return the number of CPU cores on the current system. Will return 0 if the information is not available.

Return the value set by gpr_event_set(ev, …), or NULL if no such call has completed. If the result is non-NULL, all operations that occurred prior to the gpr_event_set(ev, …) set will be visible after this call returns. Requires: *ev initialized. This operation is faster than acquiring a mutex on most platforms.

Initialize *ev.

Set *ev so that gpr_event_get() and gpr_event_wait() will return value. Requires: *ev initialized; value != NULL; no prior or concurrent calls to gpr_event_set(ev, …) since initialization.

Wait until *ev is set by gpr_event_set(ev, …), or abs_deadline is exceeded, then return gpr_event_get(ev). Requires: *ev initialized. Use abs_deadline==gpr_inf_future for no deadline. When the event has been signalled before the call, this operation is faster than acquiring a mutex on most platforms.

Returns the identifier of the current thread.

Time constants.

Add and subtract times. Calculations saturate at infinities.

Return -ve, 0, or +ve according to whether a < b, a == b, or a > b respectively.

Return a timespec representing a given number of time units. INT64_MIN is interpreted as gpr_inf_past, and INT64_MAX as gpr_inf_future.

initialize time subsystem

Return 1 if two times are equal or within threshold of each other, 0 otherwise

Decrement the reference count *r and return non-zero iff it has reached zero. . Requires *r initialized.

EXPERIMENTAL API - This function may be removed and changed, in the future.

Merge all data from \a reader into single slice

Allocate memory in the grpc_call arena: this memory is automatically discarded at call completion

Gets the auth context from the call. Caller needs to call grpc_auth_context_release on the returned context.

Cancel an RPC. Can be called multiple times, from any thread. THREAD-SAFETY grpc_call_cancel and grpc_call_cancel_with_status are thread-safe, and can be called at any point before grpc_call_unref is called.

Cancel an RPC. Can be called multiple times, from any thread. If a status has not been received for the call, set it to the status code and description passed in. Importantly, this function does not send status nor description to the remote endpoint. Note that \a description doesn’t need be a static string. It doesn’t need to be alive after the call to grpc_call_cancel_with_status completes.

Releases a call credentials object. The creator of the credentials object is responsible for its release.

Convert grpc_call_error values to a string

Returns a newly allocated string representing the endpoint to which this call is communicating with. The string is in the uri format accepted by grpc_channel_create. The returned string should be disposed of with gpr_free().

Ref a call. THREAD SAFETY: grpc_call_ref is thread-compatible

Sets a credentials to a call. Can only be called on the client side before grpc_call_start_batch.

Start a batch of operations defined in the array ops; when complete, post a completion of type ‘tag’ to the completion queue bound to the call. The order of ops specified in the batch has no significance. Only one operation of each type can be active at once in any given batch. If a call to grpc_call_start_batch returns GRPC_CALL_OK you must call grpc_completion_queue_next or grpc_completion_queue_pluck on the completion queue associated with ‘call’ for work to be performed. If a call to grpc_call_start_batch returns any value other than GRPC_CALL_OK it is guaranteed that no state associated with ‘call’ is changed and it is not appropriate to call grpc_completion_queue_next or grpc_completion_queue_pluck consequent to the failed grpc_call_start_batch call. If a call to grpc_call_start_batch with an empty batch returns GRPC_CALL_OK, the tag is put in the completion queue immediately. THREAD SAFETY: access to grpc_call_start_batch in multi-threaded environment needs to be synchronized. As an optimization, you may synchronize batches containing just send operations independently from batches containing just receive operations. Access to grpc_call_start_batch with an empty batch is thread-compatible.

Unref a call. THREAD SAFETY: grpc_call_unref is thread-compatible

Retrieve the calls current census context.

Set census context for a call; Must be called before first call to grpc_call_start_batch().

Check the connectivity state of a channel.

Create a call given a grpc_channel, in order to call ‘method’. All completions are sent to ‘completion_queue’. ‘method’ and ‘host’ need only live through the invocation of this function. If parent_call is non-NULL, it must be a server-side call. It will be used to propagate properties from the server call to this new client call, depending on the value of \a propagation_mask (see propagation_bits.h for possible values).

Create a call given a handle returned from grpc_channel_register_call. \sa grpc_channel_create_call.

Releases a channel credentials object. The creator of the credentials object is responsible for its release.

Close and destroy a grpc channel

Request info about the channel. \a channel_info indicates what information is being requested and how that information will be returned. \a channel_info is owned by the caller.

Return a newly allocated string representing the target a channel was created for.

Number of active “external connectivity state watchers” attached to a channel. Useful for testing.

Pre-register a method/host pair on a channel. method and host are not owned and must remain alive while the channel is alive.

EXPERIMENTAL. Resets the channel’s connect backoff. TODO(roth): When we see whether this proves useful, either promote to non-experimental or remove it.

Check whether a grpc channel supports connectivity watcher

Watch for a change in connectivity state. Once the channel connectivity state is different from last_observed_state, tag will be enqueued on cq with success=1. If deadline expires BEFORE the state is changed, tag will be enqueued on cq with success=0.

Blocks until an event is available, the completion queue is being shut down, or deadline is reached.

Blocks until an event with tag ‘tag’ is available, the completion queue is being shutdown or deadline is reached.

Begin destruction of a completion queue. Once all possible events are drained then grpc_completion_queue_next will start to produce GRPC_QUEUE_SHUTDOWN events only. At that point it’s safe to call grpc_completion_queue_destroy.

EXPERIMENTAL API ************/ Returns 1 if there was contents in the cache. If there was an event in \a cq tls cache, its tag is placed in tag, and ok is set to the event success.

EXPERIMENTAL API ************/ grpc_flush_cq_tls_cache() MUST be called on the same thread, with the same cq.

Check whether a non-binary metadata value is legal (will be accepted by core)

Initialize the grpc library.

Create a client channel to ‘target’. Additional channel level configuration MAY be provided by grpc_channel_args, though the expectation is that most clients will want to simply pass NULL. The user data in ‘args’ need only live through the invocation of this function. However, if any args of the ‘pointer’ type are passed, then the referenced vtable must be maintained by the caller until grpc_channel_destroy terminates. See grpc_channel_args definition for more on this.

Create a client channel to ‘target’ using file descriptor ‘fd’. The ‘target’ argument will be used to indicate the name for this channel. See the comment for grpc_insecure_channel_create for description of ‘args’ argument.

Creates a secure channel using the passed-in credentials. Additional channel level configuration MAY be provided by grpc_channel_args, though the expectation is that most clients will want to simply pass NULL. The user data in ‘args’ need only live through the invocation of this function. However, if any args of the ‘pointer’ type are passed, then the referenced vtable must be maintained by the caller until grpc_channel_destroy terminates. See grpc_channel_args definition for more on this.

Add the connected communication channel based on file descriptor ‘fd’ to the ‘server’. The ‘fd’ must be an open file descriptor corresponding to a connected socket. Events from the file descriptor may come on any of the server completion queues (i.e completion queues registered via the grpc_server_register_completion_queue API).

See grpc_channel_args definition for more on this.

Releases a server_credentials object. The creator of the server_credentials object is responsible for its release.

Destroy a server. Shutdown must have completed beforehand (i.e. all tags generated by grpc_server_shutdown_and_notify must have been received, and at least one call to grpc_server_shutdown_and_notify must have been made).

Register a completion queue with the server. Must be done for any notification completion queue that is passed to grpc_server_request_*_call and to grpc_server_shutdown_and_notify. Must be performed prior to grpc_server_start.

Registers a method in the server. Methods to this (host, method) pair will not be reported by grpc_server_request_call, but instead be reported by grpc_server_request_registered_call when passed the appropriate registered_method (as returned by this function). Must be called before grpc_server_start. Returns NULL on failure.

Request notification of a new call. Once a call is received, a notification tagged with \a tag_new is added to \a cq_for_notification. \a call, \a details and \a request_metadata are updated with the appropriate call information. \a cq_bound_to_call is bound to \a call, and batch operation notifications for that call will be posted to \a cq_bound_to_call. Note that \a cq_for_notification must have been registered to the server via \a grpc_server_register_completion_queue.

Request notification of a new pre-registered call. ‘cq_for_notification’ must have been registered to the server via grpc_server_register_completion_queue.

EXPERIMENTAL. Sets the server’s config fetcher. Takes ownership. Must be called before adding ports

Begin shutting down a server. After completion, no new calls or connections will be admitted. Existing calls will be allowed to complete. Send a GRPC_OP_COMPLETE event when there are no more calls being serviced. Shutdown is idempotent, and all tags will be notified at once if multiple grpc_server_shutdown_and_notify calls are made. ‘cq’ must have been registered to this server via grpc_server_register_completion_queue.

Start a server - tells all listeners to start listening

Creates a JWT credentials object. May return NULL if the input is invalid.

Setup a callback to override the default TLS/SSL roots. This function is not thread-safe and must be called at initialization time before any ssl credentials are created to have the desired side effect. If GRPC_DEFAULT_SSL_ROOTS_FILE_PATH environment is set to a valid path, the callback will not be called.

Shut down the grpc library.

DEPRECATED. Recommend to use grpc_shutdown only

return non-zero if the first blen bytes of a are equal to b

Add an element to a slice buffer - takes ownership of the slice. This function is allowed to concatenate the passed in slice to the end of some other slice if desired by the slice buffer.

add an element to a slice buffer - takes ownership of the slice and returns the index of the slice. Guarantees that the slice will not be concatenated at the end of another slice (i.e. the data for this slice will begin at the first byte of the slice at the returned index in sb->slices) The implementation MAY decide to concatenate data at the end of a small slice added in this fashion.

destroy a slice buffer - unrefs any held elements

initialize a slice buffer

move the first n bytes of src into dst

move the first n bytes of src into dst (copying them)

move the first n bytes of src into dst without adding references

Create a slice by copying a buffer. Equivalent to: grpc_slice slice = grpc_slice_malloc(len); memcpy(slice->data, source, len);

Create a slice by copying a string. Does not preserve null terminators. Equivalent to: size_t len = strlen(source); grpc_slice slice = grpc_slice_malloc(len); memcpy(slice->data, source, len);

Create a slice pointing to constant memory

Create a slice pointing to constant memory

Intern a slice:

Do two slices point at the same memory, with the same length If a or b is inlined, actually compares data

Equivalent to grpc_slice_new(malloc(len), len, free), but saves one malloc() call. Aborts if malloc() fails.

Create a slice pointing at some data. Calls malloc to allocate a refcount for the object, and arranges that destroy will be called with the pointer passed in at destruction.

Equivalent to grpc_slice_new, but with a two argument destroy function that also takes the slice length.

Equivalent to grpc_slice_new, but with a separate pointer that is passed to the destroy function. This function can be useful when the data is part of a larger structure that must be destroyed when the data is no longer needed.

return the index of the last instance of \a c in \a s, or -1 if not found

Increment the refcount of s. Requires slice is initialized. Returns s.

return the index of the first occurrence of \a needle in \a haystack, or -1 if it’s not found

Splits s into two: modifies s to be s[split:s.length], and returns a new slice, sharing a refcount with s, that contains s[0:split]. Requires s initialized, split <= s.length

Splits s into two: modifies s to be s[0:split], and returns a new slice, sharing a refcount with s, that contains s[split:s.length]. Requires s initialized, split <= s.length

The same as grpc_slice_split_tail, but with an option to skip altering refcounts (grpc_slice_split_tail_maybe_ref(…, true) is equivalent to grpc_slice_split_tail(…))

Return a result slice derived from s, which shares a ref count with \a s, where result.data==s.data+begin, and result.length==end-begin. The ref count of \a s is increased by one. Do not assign result back to \a s. Requires s initialized, begin <= end, begin <= s.length, and end <= source->length.

The same as grpc_slice_sub, but without altering the ref count

Return a copy of slice as a C string. Offers no protection against embedded NULL’s. Returned string must be freed with gpr_free.

Decrement the ref count of s. If the ref count of s reaches zero, all slices sharing the ref count are destroyed, and considered no longer initialized. If s is ultimately derived from a call to grpc_slice_new(start, len, dest) where dest!=NULL , then (*dest)(start) is called, else if s is ultimately derived from a call to grpc_slice_new_with_len(start, len, dest) where dest!=NULL , then (*dest)(start, len). Requires s initialized.
