using	NotificationToken = void * Represents a registered callback.

Detailed Description

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.
