.. zeek:id:: Storage::Async::close_backend
:source-code: base/frameworks/storage/async.zeek 91 97
:Type: :zeek:type:`function` (backend: :zeek:type:`opaque` of Storage::BackendHandle) : :zeek:type:`Storage::OperationResult`
Closes an existing backend connection asynchronously. This method must be
called via a :zeek:see:`when` condition or an error will be returned.
:param backend: A handle to a backend connection.
:returns: A record containing the status of the operation and an optional error
string for failures.
.. zeek:id:: Storage::Async::erase
:source-code: base/frameworks/storage/async.zeek 120 126
:Type: :zeek:type:`function` (backend: :zeek:type:`opaque` of Storage::BackendHandle, key: :zeek:type:`any`) : :zeek:type:`Storage::OperationResult`
Erases an entry from the backend asynchronously. This method must be called via
a :zeek:see:`when` condition or an error will be returned.
:param backend: A handle to a backend connection.
:param key: The key to erase.
:returns: A record containing the status of the operation and an optional error
string for failures.
.. zeek:id:: Storage::Async::get
:source-code: base/frameworks/storage/async.zeek 111 117
:Type: :zeek:type:`function` (backend: :zeek:type:`opaque` of Storage::BackendHandle, key: :zeek:type:`any`) : :zeek:type:`Storage::OperationResult`
Gets an entry from the backend asynchronously. This method must be called via a
:zeek:see:`when` condition or an error will be returned.
:param backend: A handle to a backend connection.
:param key: The key to look up.
:returns: A record containing the status of the operation, an optional error
string for failures, and an optional value for success. The value
returned here will be of the type passed into
:zeek:see:`Storage::Async::open_backend`.
.. zeek:id:: Storage::Async::open_backend
:source-code: base/frameworks/storage/async.zeek 82 88
:Type: :zeek:type:`function` (btype: :zeek:type:`Storage::Backend`, options: :zeek:type:`Storage::BackendOptions`, key_type: :zeek:type:`any`, val_type: :zeek:type:`any`) : :zeek:type:`Storage::OperationResult`
Opens a new backend connection based on a configuration object asynchronously.
This method must be called via a :zeek:see:`when` condition or an error will
be returned.
:param btype: A tag indicating what type of backend should be opened. These are
defined by the backend plugins loaded.
:param options: A record containing the configuration for the connection.
:param key_type: The script-level type of keys stored in the backend. Used for
validation of keys passed to other framework methods.
:param val_type: The script-level type of keys stored in the backend. Used for
validation of values passed to :zeek:see:`Storage::Async::put` as
well as for type conversions for return values from
:zeek:see:`Storage::Async::get`.
:returns: A record containing the status of the operation, and either an error
string on failure or a value on success. The value returned here will
be an ``opaque of BackendHandle``.
.. zeek:id:: Storage::Async::put
:source-code: base/frameworks/storage/async.zeek 100 108
:Type: :zeek:type:`function` (backend: :zeek:type:`opaque` of Storage::BackendHandle, args: :zeek:type:`Storage::PutArgs`) : :zeek:type:`Storage::OperationResult`
Inserts a new entry into a backend asynchronously. This method must be called
via a :zeek:see:`when` condition or an error will be returned.
:param backend: A handle to a backend connection.
:param args: A :zeek:see:`Storage::PutArgs` record containing the arguments for the
operation.
:returns: A record containing the status of the operation and an optional error
string for failures.
