KNET_HANDLE_COMPRESS(3) | Kronosnet Programmer's Manual | KNET_HANDLE_COMPRESS(3) |
NAME¶
knet_handle_compress - Set up packet compression.
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <libknet.h> int knet_handle_compress(
knet_handle_t knet_h,
struct knet_handle_compress_cfg *knet_handle_compress_cfg );
DESCRIPTION¶
knet_handle_compress
knet_h - pointer to knet_handle_t
knet_handle_compress_cfg - pointer to a knet_handle_compress_cfg structure
compress_model contains the model name. See "compress_level" for the list of accepted values. Setting the value to "none" disables compression.
compress_threshold tells the transmission thread to NOT compress any packets that are smaller than the value indicated. Default 100 bytes. Set to 0 to reset to the default. Set to 1 to compress everything. Max accepted value is KNET_MAX_PACKET_SIZE.
compress_level is the "level" parameter for most models: zlib: 0 (no compression), 1 (minimal) .. 9 (max compression). lz4: 1 (max compression)... 9 (fastest compression). lz4hc: 1 (min compression) ... LZ4HC_MAX_CLEVEL (16) or LZ4HC_CLEVEL_MAX (12) depending on the version of lz4hc libknet was built with. lzma: 0 (minimal) .. 9 (max compression) bzip2: 1 (minimal) .. 9 (max compression) For lzo2 it selects the algorithm to use: 1 : lzo1x_1_compress (default) 11 : lzo1x_1_11_compress 12 : lzo1x_1_12_compress 15 : lzo1x_1_15_compress 999: lzo1x_999_compress Other values select the default algorithm. Please refer to the documentation of the respective compression library for guidance about setting this value.
Implementation notes:it is possible to enable/disable compression at any time.
nodes can be using a different compression algorithm at any time.
knet does NOT implement the compression algorithm directly. it relies on external libraries for this functionality. Please read the libraries man pages to figure out which algorithm/compression level is best for the data you are planning to transmit.
STRUCTURES¶
Structure passed into knet_handle_compress() to tell knet what type of compression to use for this communiction struct knet_handle_compress_cfg {
char compress_model[16]; /* Compression library to use, bzip2 etc... */ /*
* Threshold. Packets smaller than this will not be compressed
*/
uint32_t compress_threshold; /*
* Passed into the compression library as an indication of the level of
* compression to apply
*/
int compress_level; };
RETURN VALUE¶
knet_handle_compress returns 0 on success -1 on error and errno is set. EINVAL means that either the model or the level are not supported.
