EVT_BACNET_GETEVENTINFO (STRUCT)

TYPE EVT_BACNET_GETEVENTINFO : STRUCT

The GetEventInformation service hook.

This is the type declaration for the Get Event Information service application hook. This hook allows a BACnet application to process Event Information service requests. This hook is given parameters of the service request, and is responsible for all error checking (object/Property existence, address correctness and any other service parameter given). A pointer to the routine is registered with the BACnet library by BACnetSetHook() API routine. A hook can be registered by the registering API routine at any time. One hook procedure is registered per service. If a hook is registered more than once for the same service, the new hook procedure replaces the old one. A NULL procedure pointer can be used to deregister the hook. Get Event Information hook must complete its service request processing by using one of the transaction completion API routines: BACnetSrvcAbortCbCompletion, BACnetSrvcErrorCbCompletion, BACnetSrvcIgnoreCbCompletion, or BACnetSrvcRejectCbCompletion. Hooks can access the local Properties maintained in the API database by using the BACnetStorePropertyInstance / BACnetRetrievePropertyInstance routines. A hook can choose not to override the default API processing of a service request by returning the value CB_STATUS_DEFAULT.
