EVENTF(1)

📦 version 2.6.2, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

✨ EVENTF — the eventf manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so you want to know about eventf, and honestly? you're in the right place, because this little icon does one job and does it flawlessly 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

eventf — connect (federate) two CORBA EventChannels. that's it. that's the whole vibe. two channels, one connection, slay 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

eventf from-channel-uri to-channel-uri

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie 🫖 — eventf establishes a connection between two event channels. it's giving matchmaker, it's giving bridge-builder, it's giving "you two should talk" ✨

important though: both event channels must already be in existence. no cap. you can't just waltz in with two imaginary channels — they gotta already be out there living their lives, maybe created by the eventc command. eventf is not a channel-birthing service, she's a connector 👑

and here's the actually iconic part: if both event channels are implemented by omniEvents, then the connection is persistent. meaning? it will be recreated if one or both of the channels is shut down and later restarted. the connection literally refuses to give up on them. that's loyalty, fr fr 😭💜

the from- and to-channels must be specified as URIs. this may be:

  • an IOR
  • a corbaloc::: URI
  • or a corbaname::: URI

example time ⭐:

eventf corbaname::#from.channel corbaname::#to.channel

see how cute that is? from-channel, to-channel, boom, connected 🌈

🌟 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌟

  • OMNIORB_CONFIG — the location of the omniORB configuration file. that's where the omniORB config lives, bestie, don't lose it 🙈
