Detailed Description

Plugin API.

A plugin is a way to implement application-independent reliability and performance tuning behavior. Plugins are written using the API described in this document.

A plugin is created by defining a globus_ftp_client_plugin_t which contains the function pointers and plugin-specific data needed for the plugin's operation. It is recommended that a plugin define a a globus_module_descriptor_t and plugin initialization functions, to ensure that the plugin is properly initialized.

The functions pointed to in a plugin are called when significant events in the life of an FTP Client operation occur. Note that plugins will only be called when the plugin has the function pointer for both the operation (get, put, list, etc), and the event (connect, authenticate, command, etc), are defined. The command and response functions are filtered based on the command_mask defined in the plugin structure.

Every plugin must define copy and destroy functions. The copy function is called when the plugin is added to an attribute set or a handle is initialized with an attribute set containing the plugin. The destroy function is called when the handle or attribute set is destroyed.

Typedef Documentation

  typedef void(* globus_ftp_client_plugin_abort_t) (globus_ftp_client_plugin_t *plugin, void *plugin_specific, globus_ftp_client_handle_t *handle)
Plugin abort notification callback.

This callback is used to notify a plugin that an abort is being requested on a client handle. This notification happens both when the user aborts a request and when a plugin aborts the currently active request.

Parameters
    plugin The plugin which is being notified.
    plugin_specific Plugin-specific data.
    handle The handle associated with the request.

  typedef void(* globus_ftp_client_plugin_authenticate_t) (globus_ftp_client_plugin_t *plugin, void *plugin_specific, globus_ftp_client_handle_t *handle, const char *url, const globus_ftp_control_auth_info_t *auth_info)
Plugin authentication notification callback.

This callback is used to notify a plugin that an authentication handshake is being done for this client handle. This notification can occur when a new request is made or when a hard restart is done by a plugin.

If a response_callback is defined by a plugin, then that will be once the authentication has completed (successfully or unsuccessfully).

Parameters
    plugin The plugin which is being notified.
    plugin_specific Plugin-specific data.
    handle The handle associated with the connection.
    url The URL of the server to connect to.

Parameters
    plugin The plugin which is being notified.
    plugin_specific Plugin-specific data.
    handle The handle associated with the delete operation.

Command callback.

This callback is used to notify a plugin that a FTP control command is being sent. The client library will only call this function for response callbacks associated with a command which is in the plugin's command mask, and associated with one of the other ftp operations with a defined callback in the plugin.

Parameters
    plugin The plugin which is being notified.
    plugin_specific Plugin-specific data.
    handle The handle associated with the request.
    url The URL which this command is being sent to.

  typedef void(* globus_ftp_client_plugin_complete_t) (globus_ftp_client_plugin_t *plugin, void *plugin_specific, globus_ftp_client_handle_t *handle)
Completion notification callback.

This callback is used to notify a plugin that an operation previously begun has completed. The plugin may not call any other plugin operation on this handle after this has occurred. This is the final callback for the plugin while processing the operation. The plugin may free any internal state associated with the operation at this point.

Parameters
    plugin The plugin which is being notified.
    plugin_specific Plugin-specific data.
    handle The handle associated with the operation.

  typedef void(* globus_ftp_client_plugin_connect_t) (globus_ftp_client_plugin_t *plugin, void *plugin_specific, globus_ftp_client_handle_t *handle, const char *url)
Plugin connection begin function.

This callback is used to notify a plugin that connection establishment is being done for this client handle. This notification can occur when a new request is made or when a restart is done by a plugin.

If a response_callback is defined by a plugin, then that will be once the connection establishment has completed (successfully or unsuccessfully).

Parameters
    plugin The plugin which is being notified.
    plugin_specific Plugin-specific data.
    handle The handle associated with the connection.

Note
    This function will not be called for a get, put, or third-party transfer operation when a cached connection is used.

  typedef globus_ftp_client_plugin_t*(* globus_ftp_client_plugin_copy_t) (globus_ftp_client_plugin_t *plugin_template, void *plugin_specific)
Plugin copy function.

This function is used to create a new copy or reference count a plugin. This function is called by the FTP Client library when a plugin is added to a handle attribute set, or when a handle is initialized with an attribute which contains the plugin.

A plugin may not call any of the plugin API functions from it's instantiate method.

Parameters
    plugin_template A plugin previously initialized by a call to the plugin-specific initialization function. by the user.
    plugin_specific Plugin-specific data.

Returns
    A pointer to a plugin. This plugin copy must remain valid until the copy's destroy function is called on the copy.

This function will cause the currently executing transfer operation to have additional data channels acquired if the attribute set allows it.

Parameters
    handle The handle which is associated with the transfer.
    num_channels The number of channels to add to the transfer.
    stripe The stripe number to have the channels added to.

Note
    Do the plugins need to be notified when this happens?

  globus_result_t globus_ftp_client_plugin_remove_data_channels (globus_ftp_client_handle_t * handle, unsigned int num_channels, unsigned int stripe)
Remove data channels from an existing put transfer.

This function will cause the currently executing transfer operation to have data channels removed, if the attribute set allows it.

Parameters
    handle The handle which is associated with the transfer.
