GEARMAN_CLIENT_DO(3)

NAME
gearman_client_do - Gearmand Documentation, http://gearman.info/

SYNOPSIS

#include <libgearman/gearman.h>

void *gearman_client_do(gearman_client_st *client, const char *function_name, const char *unique, const void *workload, size_t workload_size, size_t *result_size, gearman_return_t *ret_ptr)

    Changed in version 0.21: GEARMAN_PAUSE will no longer be returned. A do operation will now run till completion or error.

void *gearman_client_do_high(gearman_client_st *client, const char *function_name, const char *unique, const void *workload, size_t workload_size, size_t *result_size, gearman_return_t *ret_ptr)

void *gearman_client_do_low(gearman_client_st *client, const char *function_name, const char *unique, const void *workload, size_t workload_size, size_t *result_size, gearman_return_t *ret_ptr)

DESCRIPTION

gearman_client_do() executes a single request to the gearmand server and waits for a reply.

gearman_client_do_high() and gearman_client_do_low() are identical to gearman_client_do(), only they set the priority to either high or low.

All of the functions will block until either a response or an error is returned.

RETURN VALUE

gearman_client_do() returns a pointer to a value that the caller must release. If ret_ptr is provided any errors that have occurred will be stored in it. Since a NULL/zero value is a valid value, you will always need to check ret_ptr if you are concerned with errors.
