nghttp2_session_mem_send

Synopsis

#include <nghttp2/nghttp2.h>

ssize_t nghttp2_session_mem_send(nghttp2_session *session, const uint8_t **data_ptr)

Warning

Deprecated. Use nghttp2_session_mem_send2() instead.

Returns the serialized data to send.

This function behaves like nghttp2_session_send() except that it does not use nghttp2_send_callback to transmit data. Instead, it assigns the pointer to the serialized data to the *data_ptr and returns its length. The other callbacks are called in the same way as they are in nghttp2_session_send().

If no data is available to send, this function returns 0.

This function may not return all serialized data in one invocation. To get all data, call this function repeatedly until it returns 0 or one of negative error codes.

The assigned *data_ptr is valid until the next call of nghttp2_session_mem_send() or nghttp2_session_send().

The caller must send all data before sending the next chunk of data.

This function returns the length of the data pointed by the *data_ptr if it succeeds, or one of the following negative error codes:

nghttp2_error.NGHTTP2_ERR_NOMEM

Out of memory.

Note

This function may produce very small byte string. If that is the case, and application disables Nagle algorithm (TCP_NODELAY), then writing this small chunk leads to very small packet, and it is very inefficient. An application should be responsible to buffer up small chunks of data as necessary to avoid this situation.
