Metadata on devices This module defines the metadata on devices and services.
Note that all the data structures in this module represent snapshots of subsets of the devices available. None of these data structures are live, so there is always the possibility that devices may have been added or removed from the FoxBox by the time these data structures are read.
Structs
| Channel |
An service represents a single place where data can enter or leave a device. Note that services support either a single kind of input or a single kind of output. Devices that support both inputs or outputs, or several kinds of inputs, or several kinds of outputs, are represented as nodes containing several services. |
| Get |
An input operation available on an service. |
| Node |
Metadata on a node. A node is a device or collection of devices that may offer services. The FoxBox itself a node offering services such as a clock, communication with the user through her smart devices, etc. |
| NodeId |
A marker for Id.
Only useful for writing |
| Set |
An output operation available on an service. |
Enums
| ChannelKind |
The kind of the service, i.e. a strongly-typed description of what the service can do. Used both for locating services (e.g. "I need a clock" or "I need something that can provide pictures") and for determining the data structure that these services can provide or consume. |
Traits
| IOMechanism |
A mechanism used for communicating between the application and the service. |
