[olsr-dev] Question plugin - olsr_event()

[Daniel Jaskiewicz]

Hello again I have a question about the power plugin example, more 
specifically the olsr_event() function. What is exactly passed to it, in the 
code it has olsr_event(void *foo), is this a pointer or implicit function 
that is called. In the olsr_event function this foo parameter is not used at 
all. The reason for this question is that Im trying to initiate this 
function when information arrives on a socket and not using the scheduler 
for a scheduled event, but for some reason its, not printing out the 
arriving entries. Everything in the code is the same except the following, 
which is inside a function which is registared with the socket parser to 
initiate this function when information arrives:
add_olsr_socket(ipc_socket_di, &ipc_action_di);

void
ipc_action_di(int fd)
{
struct sockaddr_in pin;
  socklen_t addrlen;
  char *addr;

  addrlen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
if ((ipc_accept_connection_di = accept(ipc_socket_di, (struct sockaddr *)  
&pin, &addrlen)) == -1)
    {
      perror("IPC accept");
      exit(1);
    }
  else
    {
      addr = inet_ntoa(pin.sin_addr);
      if(ntohl(pin.sin_addr.s_addr) != INADDR_LOOPBACK)
	{
	  olsr_printf(1, "Front end-connection from foregin host(%s) not 
allowed!\n", addr);
	  close(ipc_accept_connection_di);
	  return;
	}
      else
	{
	  ipc_listening_di = 1;
	  olsr_printf(1, "DI: Incoming DI Connection from %s\n",addr);
	  olsr_event();
	}
    } /*end of else*/
}/*end of function */

Thanks
Daniel
