1//! [`LinkSet`] — pluggable backend for `pva://` / `ca://` link
2//! resolution.
3//!
4//! Mirrors the C EPICS `lset` (link set) abstraction used by libdbCore
5//! to delegate link operations to a pluggable backend. We expose a
6//! pure-Rust trait so the bridge crate can wire up `pvalink` /
7//! `calink` without epics-base-rs having to know about either
8//! protocol.
9//!
10//! At runtime [`super::PvDatabase`] holds a registry keyed by URL
11//! scheme (`"pva"`, `"ca"`); each entry is an `Arc<dyn LinkSet>`.
12//! Record-link reads dispatch through the matching lset before
13//! falling back to the legacy `ExternalPvResolver` closure.
14//!
15//! The trait is **synchronous** — record processing is fundamentally
16//! sync at the lset boundary in C EPICS, and most lset
17//! implementations (pvalink, calink) maintain a cached snapshot
18//! that satisfies sync reads without blocking. Implementations that
19//! need to do async I/O can keep a `tokio::runtime::Handle` and
20//! `block_on` internally.
21//!
22//! # Adding a new lset
23//!
24//! ```ignore
25//! struct MyLset { /* ... */ }
26//! impl LinkSet for MyLset {
27//!     fn is_connected(&self, name: &str) -> bool { /* ... */ }
28//!     fn get_value(&self, name: &str) -> Option<EpicsValue> { /* ... */ }
29//!     /* etc. */
30//! }
31//! db.register_link_set("pva", Arc::new(MyLset { ... })).await;

60/// How an external OUT-link write should be delivered to the lset.
61///
62/// Mirrors the C dbCore split between a plain link put and a
63/// put-notify-aware put: `dbPutLink` (synchronous, no completion
64/// callback) vs `dbPutLinkAsync` (issued from `dbNotify`, where the
65/// source record's processing is held until the downstream put
66/// completes). pvxs's pvalink lset realises the same split as
67/// `pvaPutValue` (plain, `wait=false`) vs `pvaPutValueAsync`
68/// (`wait=true`, which sets `record._options.block` so the PUT
69/// request carries the block option and the source record is parked
70/// in `after_put` until the server acknowledges completion) —
71/// `pvxs/ioc/pvalink_lset.cpp` `putValue` / `putValueAsync`.
72///
73/// The database selects the op from the write context: a write that
74/// originates inside a put-notify / blocking-put chain (the source
75/// record carries a completion wait-set) uses [`Async`]; a plain
76/// record-processing OUT write uses [`Plain`].
