Function Documentation

guint32 get_average_ip_lifetime (  time_t  now  )

Compute the EMA of the IP address lifetime up to now, but do not update the property.

guint32 get_average_servent_uptime (  time_t  now  )

Compute the EMA of the averate servent uptime, up to now, but do not update the property.

host_addr_t listen_addr (  void   )

Returns: the currently used local listening address.

void settings_addr_changed (  const host_addr_t  new_addr, const host_addr_t  peer )

This routine is called when we determined that our IP was no longer the one we computed. We base this on some headers sent back when we handshake with other nodes, and as a result, cannot trust the information. What we do henceforth is trust 3 successive indication that our IP changed, provided we get the same information each time. --RAM, 13/01/2002 Parameters: `new_addr'  the newly suggested address. `peer'  the IP address of peer which reported the new IP address. There must be 3 peers from 3 different /16 networks before a change is accepted. Otherwise, it would be very easy to confuse GTKG by connecting 3 times in a row and submitting a *wrong* IP address. --cbiere, 2004-08-01

void settings_ask_for_property (  const gchar *  name, const gchar *  value )

Ask them to set a property to be able to run.

void settings_close (  void   )

Finally free all memory allocated. Call after settings_shutdown.

void settings_init (  void   )

guint32 settings_max_msg_size (  void   )

Maximum message payload size we are configured to handle.

void settings_save_if_dirty (  void   )

Save settings if dirty.

void settings_shutdown (  void   )

Called at exit time to flush the property files.
