+.TH CPG_DISPATCH 3 2004-08-31 "corosync Man Page" "Corosync Cluster Engine Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+cpg_dispatch \- Dispatches callbacks from the CPG service
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <corosync/cpg.h>
+.sp
+.BI "int cpg_dispatch(cpg_handle_t " handle ", cpg_dispatch_t *" dispatch_types ");
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B cpg_dispatch
+function is used to dispatch configuration changes or messages from the
+closed process groups API.
+.PP
+Each application may have several connections to the CPG API. Each application
+uses the
+.I handle
+argument to uniquely identify the connection.
+.PP
+The
+.I dispatch_types
+argument is used to identify the type of dispatch to execute. The possible types are
+defined by the structure:
+
+.IP
+.RS
+.ne 18
+.nf
+.ta 4n 30n 33n
+typedef enum {
+ CS_DISPATCH_ONE,
+ CS_DISPATCH_ALL,
+ CS_DISPATCH_BLOCKING
+} cpg_dispatch_t;
+.ta
+.fi
+.RE
+.IP
+.PP
+.PP
+The dispatch values have the following meanings:
+.TP
+.B CS_DISPATCH_ONE
+Dispatch atleast one callback, blocking until the callback is dispatched.
+.TP
+.B CS_DISPATCH_ALL
+Dispatch all waiting callbacks without blocking to wait for any callbacks.
+.TP
+.B CS_DISPATCH_BLOCKING
+Dispatch all callbacks, blocking indefinitely. This is used in a threaded
+program where a thread is created, and then cpg_dispatch() is called immediately
+from the created thread to execute callbacks.
+.TP
+.B CS_DISPATCH_ONE_NONBLOCKING
+Dispatch at most one callback. If there is no pending callback,
+CS_ERR_TRY_AGAIN is returned.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+This call returns the CS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
+.PP
+.SH ERRORS
+The errors are undocumented.
