Detailed Description

Evas has an (optional) module that provides client-server infrastructure to share bitmaps across multiple processes, saving data and processing power.

Be warned that it doesn't work when threaded image preloading is enabled for Evas, though.

Function Documentation

evas_cserve_want_get()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_cserve_want_get

(

void

)

Retrieves if the system wants to share bitmaps using the server.

Returns

EINA_TRUE if it wants, EINA_FALSE otherwise.

evas_cserve_connected_get()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_cserve_connected_get

(

void

)

Retrieves if the system is connected to the server used to share bitmaps.

Returns

EINA_TRUE if it's connected, EINA_FALSE otherwise.

evas_cserve_stats_get()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_cserve_stats_get

(

Evas_Cserve_Stats *

stats

)

Retrieves statistics from a running bitmap sharing server.

Parameters

stats

pointer to structure to fill with statistics about the bitmap cache server.

Returns

EINA_TRUE if stats were filled with data, EINA_FALSE otherwise (when stats is untouched)

evas_cserve_config_get()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_cserve_config_get

(

Evas_Cserve_Config *

config

)

Retrieves the current configuration of the Evas image caching server.

Parameters

config

where to store current image caching server's configuration.

Returns

EINA_TRUE if config was filled with data, EINA_FALSE otherwise (when config is untouched)

The fields of config will be altered to reflect the current configuration's values.

evas_cserve_config_set()

evas_cserve_config_set()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_cserve_config_set

(

const Evas_Cserve_Config *

config

)

Changes the configurations of the Evas image caching server.

Parameters

config

A bitmap cache configuration handle with fields set to desired configuration values.

Returns

EINA_TRUE if config was successfully applied, EINA_FALSE otherwise.
