.. zeek:id:: Option::any_set_to_any_vec
|
|
:source-code: base/bif/option.bif.zeek 65 65
|
|
|
|
:Type: :zeek:type:`function` (v: :zeek:type:`any`) : :zeek:type:`any_vec`
|
|
|
|
Helper function that converts a set (of arbitrary index type) to
|
|
a "vector of any".
|
|
|
|
|
|
:param v: an "any" type corresponding to a set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:returns: a vector-of-any with one element for each member of v.
|
|
|
|
.. zeek:id:: Option::set
|
|
:source-code: base/bif/option.bif.zeek 29 29
|
|
|
|
:Type: :zeek:type:`function` (ID: :zeek:type:`string`, val: :zeek:type:`any`, location: :zeek:type:`string` :zeek:attr:`&default` = ``""`` :zeek:attr:`&optional`) : :zeek:type:`bool`
|
|
|
|
Set an option to a new value. This change will also cause the option change
|
|
handlers to be called.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:param ID: The ID of the option to update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:param val: The new value of the option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:param location: Optional parameter detailing where this change originated from.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:returns: true on success, false when an error occurred.

|
.. zeek:see:: Option::set_change_handler Config::set_value
|
|
|
|
.. note:: :zeek:id:`Option::set` only works on one node and does not distribute
|
|
new values across a cluster. The higher-level :zeek:id:`Config::set_value`
|
|
supports clusterization and should typically be used instead of this
|
|
lower-level function.
|
|
|
|
.. zeek:id:: Option::set_change_handler
|
|
:source-code: base/bif/option.bif.zeek 56 56
|
|
|
|
:Type: :zeek:type:`function` (ID: :zeek:type:`string`, on_change: :zeek:type:`any`, priority: :zeek:type:`int` :zeek:attr:`&default` = ``0`` :zeek:attr:`&optional`) : :zeek:type:`bool`
|
|
|
|
Set a change handler for an option. The change handler will be
|
|
called anytime :zeek:id:`Option::set` is called for the option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:param ID: The ID of the option for which change notifications are desired.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:param on_change: The function that will be called when a change occurs. The
|
|
function can choose to receive two or three parameters: the first
|
|
parameter is a string containing *ID*, the second parameter is
|
|
the new option value. The third, optional, parameter is the
|
|
location string as passed to Option::set. Note that the global
|
|
value is not yet changed when the function is called. The passed
|
|
function has to return the new value that it wants the option to
|
|
be set to. This enables it to reject changes, or change values
|
|
that are being set. When several change handlers are set for an
|
|
option they are chained; the second change handler will see the
|
|
return value of the first change handler as the "new value".
|
|
|
|
|
|
:param priority: The priority of the function that was added; functions with higher
|
|
priority are called first, functions with the same priority are
|
|
called in the order in which they were added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:returns: true when the change handler was set, false when an error occurred.
