Detailed Description

Proxy scheduler parameters for background channel switching.

This structure is passed along with channel change requests for clients with priority VBI_CHN_PRIO_BACKGROUND. The parameters are used by the proxy daemon to share channel control between multiple clients with background priority.

Field Documentation

§ is_valid

uint8_t vbi_channel_profile::is_valid

Boolean: Ignore contents of this struct unless TRUE

§ sub_prio

uint8_t vbi_channel_profile::sub_prio

Sub-priority for channel scheduling at "background" priority. You can use aribtrary values in the range 0 ... 256, but as this value is only meaningful in relation to priorities used by other clients, you should stick to the scale defined by VBI_CHN_SUBPRIO

§ allow_suspend

uint8_t vbi_channel_profile::allow_suspend

Boolean: Set to FALSE if your capture client needs an atomic time slice (i.e. would need to restart capturing from the beginning it it was interrupted.)

§ min_duration

time_t vbi_channel_profile::min_duration

Minimum time slice your capture client requires. This value is used when multiple clients have the same sub-priority to give all clients channel control in a round-robin manner.

§ exp_duration

time_t vbi_channel_profile::exp_duration

Expected duration of use of that channel
