Detailed Description

Register properties have a value represented by raw bytes.

PropRegister instances are created in two ways:

• By converting a Property known to be a command property using Property::asRegister()
• By directly querying a typed known property using PropertyMap::findRegister().

Member Function Documentation

getValue()

std::vector< uint8_t > getValue ( Error &  err = Error::Default() )

inline

Reads data from a register property.

Parameters

[out]

err

Reference to an error handler. See Error Handling for details.

Returns

The current value of the register.
If an error occurs, the returned vector is empty. Check the err output parameter for details.

setValue()

bool setValue ( const std::vector< uint8_t > &  buffer, Error &  err = Error::Default()  )

inline

Reads data to a register property.

Parameters

[in]	buffer	A std::vector containing the data to be written to the property
[out]	err	Reference to an error handler. See Error Handling for details.

Returns

true on success, otherwise false.
Check the err output parameter for details.

size()

uint64_t size ( Error &  err = Error::Default() ) const

inline

Queries the size of a register property.

The size of a register property is not necessarily constant; it can change depending on the value of other properties.

Parameters

[out]

err

Reference to an error handler. See Error Handling for details.

Returns

The size of the register property, or 0, if an error occurred.
Check the err output parameter for details.
