Macro Definition Documentation

SHELL_DEFAULT_BUFSIZE

#define SHELL_DEFAULT_BUFSIZE   (128)

Shutdown RIOT on shell exit.

Default shell buffer size (maximum line length shell can handle)

Definition at line 49 of file shell.h.

Typedef Documentation

shell_command_handler_t

typedef int(* shell_command_handler_t) (int argc, char **argv)

Protype of a shell callback handler.

The functions supplied to shell_run() must use this signature. The argument list is terminated with a NULL, i.e argv[argc] == NULL`. argv[0]`` is the function name.

Escape sequences are removed before the function is called.

The called function may edit argv and the contained strings, but it must be taken care of not to leave the boundaries of the array. This functionality can be used by getopt() or a similar function.

Parameters

[in]	argc	Number of arguments supplied to the function invocation.
[in]	argv	The supplied argument list.

Returns

0 on success

Anything else on failure

Definition at line 99 of file shell.h.

shell_command_t

typedef struct shell_command_t shell_command_t

A single command in the list of the supported commands.

The list of commands is NULL terminated, i.e. the last element must be { NULL, NULL, NULL }.

Function Documentation

shell_post_command_hook()

void shell_post_command_hook	(	int	ret,
		int	argc,
		char **	argv
	)

Optional hook after shell command is called.

User implemented function gets called before a valid shell command will be called.

Note

Only executed with the shell_hooks module.

Parameters

[in]	ret	Return value of the shell command.
[in]	argc	Number of arguments supplied to the function invocation.
[in]	argv	The supplied argument list.

shell_post_readline_hook()

void shell_post_readline_hook

(

void

)

Optional hook after readline has triggered.

User implemented function gets called after the shell readline is complete.

Note

Only executed with the shell_hooks module.

shell_pre_command_hook()

void shell_pre_command_hook	(	int	argc,
		char **	argv
	)

Optional hook before shell command is called.

User implemented function gets called before a valid shell command will be called.

Note

Only executed with the shell_hooks module.

Parameters

[in]	argc	Number of arguments supplied to the function invocation.
[in]	argv	The supplied argument list.

shell_run()

static void shell_run ( const shell_command_t *  commands, char *  line_buf, int  len  )

inlinestatic

Back-porting alias for shell_run_forever.

Parameters

[in]	commands	ptr to array of command structs
[in]	line_buf	Buffer that will be used for reading a line
[in]	len	nr of bytes that fit in line_buf

Definition at line 150 of file shell.h.

shell_run_forever()

static void shell_run_forever ( const shell_command_t *  commands, char *  line_buf, int  len  )

inlinestatic

Start a shell and restart it if it exits.

If CONFIG_SHELL_SHUTDOWN_ON_EXIT is set (e.g. on native) the shell will instead shut down RIOT once EOF is reached.

Parameters

[in]	commands	ptr to array of command structs
[in]	line_buf	Buffer that will be used for reading a line
[in]	len	nr of bytes that fit in line_buf

Definition at line 131 of file shell.h.

shell_run_once()

void shell_run_once	(	const shell_command_t *	commands,
		char *	line_buf,
		int	len
	)

Start a shell and exit once EOF is reached.

Parameters

[in]	commands	ptr to array of command structs
[in]	line_buf	Buffer that will be used for reading a line
[in]	len	nr of bytes that fit in line_buf
