Typedef Documentation

typedef int32_t registration_uid_t

Registration ids are how callers and callees identify each other.

When a higher level registers a Handler with a ServiceClass object, it either passes in or receives a registration uid. This id serves to identify the link between the two objects. The same registration uid is used whether it is a call down into the ServiceClass, or a call from the ServiceClass into the handler. When a registration uid is passed into a ServiceClass method, any callbacks or other side-effects as a result of that call will be delivered to the registered Handler with the same registration uid. Similarly, the Handler can use the registration uid to tell what lower level service delivered the upcall (in the event it is multiply registered).
