type box_function_ctx_t

Opaque structure passed to a C stored procedure

int box_return_tuple(box_function_ctx_t *ctx, box_tuple_t *tuple)

Return a tuple from a C stored procedure.

The returned tuple is automatically reference-counted by Tarantool. An example program that uses box_return_tuple() is write.c.

Parameters:
Returns:

-1 on error (perhaps, out of memory; check box_error_last())

Returns:

0 otherwise

int box_return_mp(box_function_ctx_t *ctx, const char *mp, const char *mp_end)

Return a pointer to a series of bytes in MessagePack format.

This can be used instead of box_return_tuple() – it can send the same value, but as MessagePack instead of as a tuple object. It may be simpler than box_return_tuple() when the result is small, for example a number or a boolean or a short string. It will also be faster than box_return_tuple(), if the result is that users save time by not creating a tuple every time they want to return something from a C function.

On the other hand, if an already-existing tuple was obtained from an iterator, then it would be faster to return the tuple via box_return_tuple() rather than extracting its parts and sending them via box_return_mp().

Parameters:
  • ctx (box_function_ctx_t*) – an opaque structure passed to the C stored procedure by Tarantool
  • mp (char*) – the first MessagePack byte
  • mp_end (char*) – after the last MessagePack byte
Returns:

-1 on error (perhaps, out of memory; check box_error_last())

Returns:

0 otherwise

For example, if mp is a buffer, and mp_end is a return value produced by encoding a single MP_UINT scalar value with mp_end=mp_encode_uint(mp,1);, then box_return_mp(ctx,mp,mp_end); should return 0.

uint32_t box_space_id_by_name(const char *name, uint32_t len)

Find space id by name.

This function performs a SELECT request on the _vspace system space.

Parameters:
  • name (const char*) – space name
  • len (uint32_t) – length of name
Returns:

BOX_ID_NIL on error or if not found (check box_error_last())

Returns:

space_id otherwise

This function performs a SELECT request on the _vindex system space.

Parameters:
  • space_id (uint32_t) – space identifier
  • name (const char*) – index name
  • len (uint32_t) – length of name
Returns:

BOX_ID_NIL on error or if not found (check box_error_last())

int box_session_push(const char *data, const char *data_end)

Since version 2.4.1. Push MessagePack data into a session data channel – socket, console or whatever is behind the session. Behaves just like Lua box.session.push().
