Detailed Description
PortService.
Description
An instance of the PortService interface represents a port (i.e., UML::Composite Structures::Ports::Port) of an RTC. It provides operations that allow it to be connected to and disconnected from other ports.Semantics
A port service can support unidirectional or bidirectional communication. A port service may allow for a service-oriented connection, in which other connected ports, invoke methods on it. It may also allow for a data-centric connection, in which data values are streamed in or out. In either case, the connection is described by an instance of ConnectorProfile. However, the behavioral contracts of such connections are dependent on the interfaces exposed by the ports and are not described normatively by this specification.Member Function Documentation

| ConnectorProfileList RTC::PortService::get_connector_profiles | ( | ) |
get_connector_profiles
Description
This operation returns a list of the ConnectorProfiles of the PortService.| ConnectorProfile RTC::PortService::get_connector_profile | ( | in UniqueIdentifier | connector_id | ) |
get_connector_profiles
Description
This operation returns a list of the ConnectorProfiles of the PortService.| ReturnCode_t RTC::PortService::connect | ( | inout ConnectorProfile | connector_profile | ) |
connect
Description
This operation establishes connection between this port and the peer ports according to given ConnectionProfile.Semantics
A ConnectorProfile has a sequence of port references. This port invokes the notify_connect operation of one of the ports included in the sequence. It follows that the notification of connection is propagated by the notify_connect operation with ConnectorProfile. This operation returns ConnectorProfile return value and returns ReturnCode_t as return codes.| ReturnCode_t RTC::PortService::disconnect | ( | in UniqueIdentifier | connector_id | ) |
disconnect
Description
This operation destroys the connection between this port and its peer ports using the ID that was given when the connection was established.Semantics
This port invokes the notify_disconnect operation of one of the ports included in the sequence of the ConnectorProfile stored when the connection was established. The notification of disconnection is propagated by the notify_disconnect operation.| ReturnCode_t RTC::PortService::disconnect_all | ( | ) |
disconnect_all
Description
This operation destroys all connection channels owned by the PortService.| ReturnCode_t RTC::PortService::notify_connect | ( | inout ConnectorProfile | connector_profile | ) |
notify_connect
Description
This operation notifies this PortService of the connection between its corresponding port and the other ports and propagates the given ConnectionProfile.Semantics
A ConnectorProfile has a sequence of port references. This PortService stores the ConnectorProfile and invokes the notify_connect operation of the next PortService in the sequence. As ports are added to the connector, PortService references are added to the ConnectorProfile and provided to the caller. In this way, notification of connection is propagated with the ConnectorProfile.| ReturnCode_t RTC::PortService::notify_disconnect | ( | in UniqueIdentifier | connector_id | ) |
notify_disconnect
Description
This operation notifies a PortService of a disconnection between its corresponding port and the other ports. The disconnected connector is identified by the given ID, which was given when the connection was established.Semantics
This port invokes the notify_disconnect operation of the next PortService in the sequence of the ConnectorProfile that was stored when the connection was established. As ports are disconnected, PortService references are removed from the ConnectorProfile. In this way, the notification of disconnection is propagated by the notify_disconnect operation.
