Lifecycle functions

Lifecycle functions#

set_cache_dir#

int set_cache_dir(const char *dir) noexcept#

Sets the cache directory to use in prepare_log_sig when use_disk=true. If the cache directory is unset, a default directory will be used. This function is not thread safe.

Parameters:

dir – Cache directory

Returns:

Status code (0 = success).

clear_cache#

int clear_cache(bool use_disk = false) noexcept#

Clear the log signature cache generated by prepare_log_sig. This function is not thread safe.

Parameters:

use_disk – If false, will clear the cache from memory only. If true, will also clear the cache directory.

Returns:

Status code (0 = success).

cpsig_shutdown#

void cpsig_shutdown() noexcept#

Release all in-memory cpsig caches. Idempotent; subsequent calls lazily re-populate.
