SYNOPSIS #include <erq.h> int send_erq(int request, string|int * data, closure callback) DESCRIPTION A request of given type (<request>, default is 0), equipped with the given <data>, is sent to the erq. If <callback> is set to a closure, it will be called when the response from the erq (a status code) arrives, if the response carries enough data to work on. <request> can be one of the request codes defined in <erq.h> The binary flag ERQ_CB_STRING defines whether the <callback> closure expects the returned data packed into an array of integers or as a string. <data> may be a string, or an array of integers which are then interpreted as characters. <callback>, if set, is a closure of either these forms: !ERQ_CB_STRING: void <closure>(int * response_data, int len) ERQ_CB_STRING: void <closure>(string response_data) The result returned from the efun is 0 on failure to send the data, or non-zero on a successful send. The function causes a privilege violation "erq". HISTORY Introduced in 3.2.1@61. Made a privileged function in 3.2.1@84 LDMud 3.3.318 introduced the ERQ_CB_STRING flag.
