ULLA (Unified Link Layer API) - access link layer information

Synopsis

#include <ulla/lu.h>

Description

The ULLA (Unified Link Layer API) aims at providing a unified interface for accessing link layer information from different wireless technologies.

In order to use the ULLA, a few man pages exist to explain the main ULLA features: The ULLA C-API is documented in chapter 2 of the man-pages, whereas the ULLA Tools, a set of command line utilities, is documented in chapter 1 (see below).

As part of the ULLA C-API the ullaRequestAttribute(2) call can be used to gather link layer information in a synchronous manner, whereas the ullaRequestNotification(2) method allows to request a notification from ULLA upon fulfillment of a condition specified using the syntax of the UQL (ULLA Query Language), presented in uql(2) . In order to evaluate a UQL-statement periodically the ullaRequestSample(2) method is available. Additionally, the LU (Link User), or user of the ULLA, can configure the card by the means of the ullaRequestCommand(2) method. A reflection interface is available via the ullaRequestReflection(2) method.

A ULLA C++-API is available for the 0.1 version of the ULLA C-API. However, there are no man-pages available at this point of time.
