NAME

sam_rehister - Register component for health checking

SYNOPSIS

#include <corosync/sam.h>

cs_error_t sam_register (unsigned int *instance_id);

DESCRIPTION

The sam_register function is used to register a process for healthchecking. If recovery policy is set to SAM_RECOVERY_POLICY_RESTART and recovery action will be taken, the new process instance will begin execution at the next code line after this function is called.

This function can be called only once and SAM must be initialized by sam_initialize(3) function.

The instance_id argument is a pointer to a value storing the current iteration instance. If this parameter is NULL, no instance_id is returned. and then, no instance_id will be returned. This value starts at 0 for the first iteration instance, and increases by 1 each time a recovery restart is executed. After reaching MAX_INT, the instance_id will reset to 0.

The placement of this function is important because after it is called, the process id will change.

After registration, event driven health checking is not running.

RETURN VALUE

This call return CS_OK value if successful, otherwise and error is returned.

ERRORS

CS_ERR_BAD_HANDLE: health checking was not started by calling sam_start(3) function.
CS_ERR_LIBRARY: internal library call failed. This can be one of pipe creation or fork. It's possible to get more information from errno.
