GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GRead(GCon g, GBufOut buffer, GSize buffer_len, GSize *bytes_read)
Performs a read on the connection.
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GMessage(GCon g, GCStringOut buffer, GSize buffer_len)
Provides access to unsolicited messages from the controller.
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GWrite(GCon g, GBufIn buffer, GSize buffer_len)
Performs a write on the connection.
const char * GBufIn
Data input to the library. No null-termination, function will have a GSize to indicate bytes to write...
Definition: gclib.h:91
void * GCon
Connection handle. Unique for each connection in process. Assigned a non-zero value in GOpen().
Definition: gclib.h:85
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GRecord(GCon g, union GDataRecord *record, GOption method)
Provides a fresh copy of the controller's data record. Data is cast into a union, GDataRecord.
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GUtility(GCon g, GOption request, GMemory memory1, GMemory memory2)
Provides read/write access to driver settings and convenience features based on the request variable.
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GOpen(GCStringIn address, GCon *g)
Open a connection to a Galil Controller.
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GArrayUpload(GCon g, const GCStringIn array_name, GOption first, GOption last, GOption delim, GBufOut buffer, GSize buffer_len)
Uploads array data from the controller's array table.
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GCommand(GCon g, GCStringIn command, GBufOut buffer, GSize buffer_len, GSize *bytes_returned)
Performs a command-and-response transaction on the connection.
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GClose(GCon g)
Closes a connection to a Galil Controller.
const char * GCStringIn
C-string input to the library. Implies null-termination.
Definition: gclib.h:89
void * GMemory
Pointer to untyped memory for use in GUtility().
Definition: gclib.h:93
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GProgramDownload(GCon g, GCStringIn program, GCStringIn preprocessor)
Downloads a program to the controller's program buffer.
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GFirmwareDownload(GCon g, GCStringIn filepath)
Upgrade firmware.
#define GCALL
Specify calling convention for Windows.
Definition: gclib.h:38
char * GBufOut
Data output from the library. No null-termination implied. Returned values may be null-terminated,...
Definition: gclib.h:90
unsigned int GSize
Size of buffers, etc.
Definition: gclib.h:86
int GOption
Option integer for various formatting, etc.
Definition: gclib.h:87
char * GCStringOut
C-string output from the library. Implies null-termination.
Definition: gclib.h:88
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GArrayDownload(GCon g, const GCStringIn array_name, GOption first, GOption last, GCStringIn buffer)
Downloads array data to a pre-dimensioned array in the controller's array table.
Data record union, containing all structs and a generic byte array accessor.
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GInterrupt(GCon g, GStatus *status_byte)
Provides access to PCI and UDP interrupts from the controller.
unsigned char GStatus
Interrupt status byte.
Definition: gclib.h:92
int GReturn
Every function returns a value of type GReturn. See gclib_errors.h for possible values.
Definition: gclib.h:84
GCLIB_DLL_EXPORTED GReturn GCALL GProgramUpload(GCon g, GBufOut buffer, GSize buffer_len)
Uploads a program from the controller's program buffer.
