- NAME rxFreeARexx()

-
- void rxFreeARexx (APTR);
- -36 A1
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This function will close the rexx handler. It's fully error checked so
- you can pass a NULL to this routine, which means it will do nothing.
- This is useful if you want to use the rexx handler blindly.
-
- INPUTS
- rexxhd - this is the rexx handler you got from the rxInitARexx()
- function.
-
- SEE ALSO
- rxInitARexx()
-
- rexxtools.library/rxGetARexxMsg rexxtools.library/rxGetARexxMsg
-
- NAME rxGetARexxMsg()
-
- rmsg = rxGetARexxMsg (rexxhd);
-
- APTR rxGetARexxMsg (APTR);
- D0 -54 A1
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This function will return the next ARexx message. If it returns NULL,
- it means that there isn't any message or ARexx is not around. If it
- returns REXX_RETURN_ERROR, it means that a message sent to ARexx via
- the rxSendARexxMsg() has returned an error.
-
- INPUTS
- rexxhd - this is the rexx handler you got from the rxInitARexx()
- function.
-
- RESULT
- rmsg - this is a RexxMsg message pointer, NULL or REXX_RETURN_ERROR.

- NAME rxGetPortName()
-
- name = rxGetPortName (rexxhd);
-
- APTR rxGetPortName (APTR);
- D0 -42 A1
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This function returns a pointer to the name of the ARexx port. The name
- is based on the AppBaseName plus an invocation number if you have set
- the count flag when you made the port with the rxInitARexx() function.
- If you haven't got an ARexx port, it will return NULL.
-
- INPUTS
- rexxhd - this is the rexx handler you got from the rxInitARexx()
- function.
-
- RESULT
- name - a pointer to your port name or NULL. Note that this is read
- only, so do not try to change it.

- NAME rxGetSignals()

-
- ULONG rxGetSignals (APTR);
- D0 -48 A1
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This function returns the signal bit mask that is needed for your ARexx
- port. This should be combined with other signal masks to produce the
- argument to the Wait() call. This returns NULL if there is no signal
- mask.
-
- INPUTS
- rexxhd - this is the rexx handler you got from the rxInitARexx()
- function.
-
- RESULT
- signals - the signal bit mask.

-
- APTR rxInitARexx (APTR, APTR, ULONG, struct TagItem *);
- D0 -30 A1 A2 D0 A0
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This function will initialize a rexx handler structure. The rexx
- handler structure is much like a file handler, since it will be used in
- all the other functions. All the other functions will automatically
- test the rexx handler before doing anything, so you don't have to test
- the result of this function. You can blindly use the result in all the
- other functions. If ARexx is not availble on your system, it wont do
- anything.
-
- INPUTS
- name - this is a pointer to a NULL terminated string with the port
- name you want to use.
-
- extension - this is a pointer to a NULL terminated string with the file
- extension you want to use with your ARexx macros. If this
- is NULL, "REXX" (notice that you shouldn't type the leading
- ".") will be used.
-
- flags - This is a longword with some flags. Each bit represents a
- flag. See below for a description of them all.
-
- taglist - a pointer to a array of tags (currently always NULL).
-
- FLAGS
- IARXF_PortCount
- Set this to zero if you want a unique port. If it's set, you will get
- an invocation number at the end of the portname. This can be used if
- you want to use multiply copies of the same program.
-
- TAGS
- No tags defined yet.
-
- RESULT
- rexxhd - This is a rexx handler you'll have to use in all the other
- functions in this library or NULL if an error occurs.

-
- DESCRIPTION
- This function can be used to parse the message you got from the
- rxGetARexxMsg() function, to see if it's one of your own commands. You
- have to make some special tables with all your commands and where you
- want to go, if it finds one. The commando table has to build like this:
-
- - First a byte indicating the length of your command.
- - Then your command in a string (Note that it may not be NULL
- terminated).
- - At last how many arguments you want for your command (max 8).
- - New length to the next command or NULL for end.
-
- You also have to make a jump table. This table is just a couple of
- longwords, one for each command. Every longword should be a pointer to
- a routine you want to run on the specific command.
-
- When you routine is called, you will in A1 have the userdata and in A6
- the rexxtools library base address. In A0 you will get a pointer to the
- first argument. Every argument is NULL terminated and will use 256
- bytes. That means to get the second argument, you have to add 256 to
- the pointer and to get the third argument you have to add 2*256 to the
- pointer etc.
-
- You'll have to reply the message in your command routine. This function
- will automatic reply the message if some error occurs, like unknown
- command.
-
- INPUTS
- rexxhd - this is the rexx handler you got from the rxInitARexx()
- function.
-
- rmsg - this is the ARexx message you got from the rxGetARexxMsg()
- function.
-
- cmdtab - this is a pointer to a command table.
-
- jmptab - this is a pointer to a jump table.
-
- userdata - this is your own data. It will be in A1 when your command is
- called via the jump table.
-
- taglist - a pointer to a array of tags (currently always NULL).
-
- TAGS
- No tags defined yet.
-
- RESULT
- success - this will be NULL if some error occures.

- DESCRIPTION
- This function replies the ARexx message "rmsg" you have got from the
- rxGetARexxMsg() function. The "result" is a pointer to a NULL
- terminated result string that will be returned via OPTIONS RESULTS in
- the RESULT ARexx variable. If you have no result, set this to NULL. The
- "error" is the error severity level. If this is 0, the result string
- will be returned, if this is non-zero, the error level will be returned
- in RC.
-
- INPUTS
- rexxhd - this is the rexx handler you got from the rxInitARexx()
- function.
-
- rmsg - this is the ARexx message you got from the rxGetARexxMsg()
- function.
-
- result - this is a pointer to a NULL terminated result string or NULL.
-
- error - this is an error severity level code or NULL for no error.

-
- DESCRIPTION
- This function will send a string to ARexx. It sets the default host to
- your application and sets the RXFB_STRING bit in the message if the
- "stringfile" is true. That means, you can set this to true if you want
- to send an ARexx command or false if you want to start a macro. This
- function will return false if the message was not sent.
-
- INPUTS
- rexxhd - this is the rexx handler you got from the rxInitARexx()
- function.
-
- command - this is a pointer to a NULL terminated string with the
- command or the name of the macro you want to run.
-
- stringfile - this flag indicates if it's a command or a macro you want
- to run.
-
- RESULT
- success - this will be NULL if some error occurs.

- D0 -72 A1 A0 A2
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This function uses the RVI (Rexx Variable Interface) to set a variable
- named <AppBaseName>.LASTERROR to the "errorstring". This is where the
- error message should go if there is an error. This function returns
- NULL if this fails for any reason.
-
- INPUTS
- rexxhd - this is the rexx handler you got from the rxInitARexx()
- function.
-
- rmsg - this is the ARexx message you got from the
- rxGetARexxMsg() function.
-
- errorstring - this is a pointer to a NULL terminated string with the
- error message.
-

- DESCRIPTION
- This function can be used if you want to convert an argument to a
- binary number. It will just convert your ASCII string to a signed
- number.
-
- INPUTS
- rexxhd - this is the rexx handler you got from the rxInitARexx()
