.TH HANDLER_LOOP 3 2024-02-19 0.3.0 "libweb Library Reference"
|
|
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
handler_loop \- listen to and handle incoming connections on a web
|
|
server
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.LP
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <libweb/handler.h>
|
|
.P
|
|
int handler_loop(struct handler *\fIh\fP);
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.IR handler_loop (3)
|
|
function listens for connections on a
|
|
.I struct handler
|
|
object pointed to by
|
|
.IR h ,
|
|
which must be previously allocated by a call to
|
|
.IR handler_alloc (3)
|
|
and initialized by a call to
|
|
.IR handler_listen (3),
|
|
in a loop.
|
|
|
|
Also, the
|
|
.IR handler_loop (3)
|
|
function validates incoming requests and calls the configured
|
|
callbacks previously given by one or more calls to
|
|
.IR handler_add (3).
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.IR handler_loop (3)
|
|
function blocks until either
|
|
.I SIGTERM
|
|
or
|
|
.I SIGINT
|
|
are triggered.
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
On success, zero is returned. On error, a negative integer is returned.
|
|
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
No errors are defined.
|
|
|
|
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
|
|
When no configured endpoint matches the incoming request,
|
|
.I libweb
|
|
shall respond with a
|
|
.B 404 Not Found
|
|
HTTP status code with no payload. Since some library users might want
|
|
to provide custom pages for such error condition, future versions of
|
|
this library shall replace the harcoded response with an additional
|
|
callback on
|
|
.IR "struct handler_cfg" ,
|
|
similarly to its member
|
|
.IR length .
