C Examples Introduction  <-

These programs were written to help in troubleshooting, testing, and demonstrating UM coding techniques. See also Java Example Source Code and C# Example Source Code.

Since the tools are written to be useful as well as instructive, they are more complex than purely-instructive examples would be, with many options to add or subtract functionality. See UMExamples for purely-instructive examples of a variety of UM use cases.

The example C programs listed here are provided in both source form and in binary executable form.


Configuring C Examples  <-

The example programs universally provide the "-c filename" command-line option. Using that option, the example application calls the lbm_config() API. However, note that this API is not recommended for use with XML-format LBM configuration files, largely because you are not able to specify an application name.

To use an XML configuration file with a UM example application, set the environment variables:

  • LBM_XML_CONFIG_APPNAME - Desired name of application.
  • LBM_XML_CONFIG_FILENAME - Path name of XML configuration file.

In this way, UM will correctly set the example application's name and will properly load the XML configuration file.


Building C Examples  <-

Most users are not interested in compiling these sources in their current form, but instead use them for "spare parts", extracting fragments of code as appropriate. For users who wish to build the tools, and especially for users who may want to modify the tools, we recommend creating a new directory and copying all of the doc/example directory contents into that new directory.

The documentation below includes example build commands that have been tested on Linux. Note that the environment variable "LBM" should be set to the platform-specific UM directory that contains the "include" and "lib" directories. For example:

LBM=$HOME/UMP_6.15/Linux-glibc-2.17-x86_64

For windows builds, use the Unix build line to show the required libraries for each application.


Unhandled C Events  <-

Each of the example programs is written to demonstrate a subset of UM's total available functionality. For example, some programs are written to demonstrate Streaming functionality (e.g. lbmsrc), while other programs are written to demonstrate Persistence functionality (e.g. umesrc), while still other programs are written to demonstrate Queuing functionality (e.g. umqsrc).

UM is generally designed to be event-driven, with events being delivered to the programs through standard callbacks, like source callbacks and receiver callbacks. There are many events which are common across all streaming, persistence, and queuing. Other events are specific to persistence, and still other events are specific to queuing.

This can lead to example programs reporting "unknown" or "unhandled" events. For example, if the "lbmsrc" streaming program is run with a configuration file that enables persistence, UM will deliver events that are specific to persistence to the "lbmsrc" program. But "lbmsrc" is designed for streaming, and does not include code cases for persistence or queuing events. Maybe you should change your configuration to disable persistence, or you should be using the "umesrc" example program.

Similarly, the "umqsrc" program expects queuing functionality, and can report unhandled events if persistence is configured. Or "umesrc" can report unhandled events if queuing is configured.

If you see an unhandled event, it is generally reported as a number. You can see which event this corresponds to by looking up the number in:

Once you understand the nature of the unhandled event, you can decide how to change your configuration or choose a different program.

  --monitor-transport-opts=OPTS  use OPTS as transport module options
  --monitor-format=FMT           use monitor format module FMT
                                 FMT may be `csv' or `pb'
  --monitor-format-opts=OPTS     use OPTS as format module options
  --monitor-appid=ID             use ID as application ID string

Transport and format options are passed as name=value pairs, separated by a semicolon.
The entire option string should be enclosed in double-quotes.

LBM transport options:
Note that individual LBM options can be specified as <scope>|<option>=value, where
  <scope> is one of context, source, receiver, wildcard_receiver, or event_queue
  <option> is the LBM configuration option name
The vertical bar (pipe symbol) is required when specifying individual LBM options.
  config=FILE            use LBM configuration file FILE
  topic=TOPIC            send statistics on topic TOPIC
                         default is /29west/statistics
  allow_debug=VAL        VAL may be `off' or `on'
                         defaults to `off'

LBMSNMP transport options:
Note that individual LBM options can be specified as <scope>|<option>=value, where
  <scope> is one of context, source, receiver, wildcard_receiver, or event_queue
  <option> is the LBM configuration option name
The vertical bar (pipe symbol) is required when specifying individual LBM options.
  config=FILE            use LBM configuration file FILE
  topic=TOPIC            send statistics on topic TOPIC
                         default is /29west/statistics

UDP transport options:
  address=IP             send statistics to address IP
  port=NUM               send to UDP port NUM
                         default is 2933
  mcgroup=GRP            send on multicast group GRP
  bcaddress=IP           send statistics to broadcast address IP
  ttl=NUM                send multicast statistics with TTL NUM
                         default is 16

CSV format options:
  separator=CHAR         separate CSV fields with character CHAR
                         defaults to `,'
                         Don't use a semicolon!

PB format options:
  filters=FILE           use FILE that contains filter options


Example umqsrc.c  <-

Example build:

gcc umqsrc.c verifymsg.c -o umqsrc -I$LBM/include -I$LBM/include/lbm -L$LBM/lib -lpthread -llbm -lm -lrsock -lprotobuf-c

Source code: umqsrc.c

Purpose: umqsrc.c: application that sends brokered queuing messages to a single
    topic at a specified rate.
Usage: umqsrc [options] topic
Available options:
  -A, --appsets=CFG         use ULB Application Sets given by CFG
  -B, --broker=address      use broker given by address
  -c, --config=FILE         use LBM configuration file FILE
  -d, --delay=NUM           delay sending for NUM seconds after source creation
  -h, --help                display this help and exit
  -f, --flight-size=NUM     allow NUM unstabilized messages in flight (determines message rate)
  -i, --ids                 display Message IDs for sent message
  -l, --length=NUM          send messages of NUM bytes
  -L, --linger=NUM          linger for NUM seconds before closing context
  -M, --messages=NUM        send NUM messages
  -m, --message-rate=NUM    send at NUM messages per second
  -N, --seq-num             display sequence number information
  -n, --non-block           use non-blocking I/O
  -P, --pause=NUM           pause NUM milliseconds after each send
  -R, --rate=[UM]DATA/RETR  Set transport type to LBT-R[UM], set data rate limit to
                            DATA bits per second, and set retransmit rate limit to
                            RETR bits per second.  For both limits, the optional
                            k, m, and g suffixes may be used.  For example,
                            '-R 1m/500k' is the same as '-R 1000000/500000'
  -s, --statistics=NUM      print statistics every NUM seconds
  -v, --verbose             print additional info in verbose form
  -V, --verifiable          construct verifiable messages
  -X, --index               Send messages on specified index for ULB sources
  -Y, --broker-index         Send messages on specified named index for broker sources
