FLibSYS System API functions 1.5 GPL2 spec_FLibSYS.so en,uk,ru,de x86,x86_64,ARM Special Roman Savochenko
Maxim Lysenko (2009) — the page translation
Provides the library of system API functions of user programming area.

Contents

Special module FLibSYS provides static library of functions for working with the OpenSCADA system at the level of its system API. These functions can be used in an user programming area of OpenSCADA system for the organization of not ordinary interaction algorithms.

To address the functions of the library you can use static call address "Special.FLibSYS.{Func}()" or dynamic "SYS.Special.FLibSYS["{Func}"].call()", "SYS.Special.FLibSYS.{Func}()". Where {Func} — function identifier in the library.

Below is the description of each function of the library. For each function it was evaluated the execution time. Measurements were made on the system with the following parameters: Athlon 64 3000 + (ALTLinux 4.0 (32bit)) by measuring the total execution time of the function when you call it 1000 times. Sampling was carried out of the five calculations, rounded to integer. Time is in angle brackets and is measured in microseconds.

1 System-wide functions

1.1 Calling the console commands and operating system utilities (sysCall)

Description:Call the console commands of the OS. The function offers great opportunities to the OpenSCADA user by calling any system software, utilities and scripts, as well as getting the access to the huge volume of system data by means of them. For example the command "ls-l" returns the detailed contents of the working directory.
Parameters:

ID Name Type Mode By defaults
rez Result String Return
com Command String In

Example:

using Special.FLibSYS;
test=sysCall("ls -l");
messPut("Example",0,"Example: "+test);

1.2 DB: SQL request (dbReqSQL)

Description: Formation of the SQL-request req to the DB addr, inside (trans=true), outside (trans=false) or no matter (trans=EVAL) to a transaction. At an error the result's property "err" sets to the error value.
Parameters:

ID Name Type Mode By defaults
rez Result Object(Array) Return
addr DB address, "{TypeDB}.{DB}" String In

req = xmlNode("get").setAttr("path","/sub_DAQ/mod_ModBus/cntr_1/prm_1/%2fprm%2fst%2fen");

1.4 Request of the management interface (xmlCntrReq)
