setCookieHeader	The "Set-Cookie" header.
fromHost	The host address of the request.
fromPath	The path of the request.

spec	The collection spec
outErr	On failure, error information will be written here if non-NULL.

Returns

A fleece encoded array of document IDs, each of which has one or more pending revisions. If none are pending, nullslice is returned (note that an error condition will return nullslice with the outErr code set to non-zero)

c4repl_getResponseHeaders()

CBL_CORE_API C4Slice c4repl_getResponseHeaders

(

C4Replicator *

repl

)

Returns the HTTP response headers as a Fleece-encoded dictionary.

Note

This function is thread-safe.

c4repl_getStatus()

CBL_CORE_API C4ReplicatorStatus c4repl_getStatus

(

C4Replicator *

repl

)

Returns the current state of a replicator.

This function is thread-safe.

c4repl_isDocumentPending()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4repl_isDocumentPending	(	C4Replicator *	repl,
		C4String	docID,
		C4CollectionSpec	spec,
		C4Error *	outErr
	)

Checks if the document with the given ID has revisions pending push.

This API is a snapshot and results may change between the time the call was made and the time the call returns.

Parameters

repl	The C4Replicator instance.
docID	The ID of the document to check
spec	The collection the docID belongs to.
outErr	On failure, error information will be written here if non-NULL.

Returns

true if the document has one or more revisions pending, false otherwise (note that an error condition will return false with the outErr code set to non-zero)

c4repl_isValidDatabaseName()

CBL_CORE_API bool c4repl_isValidDatabaseName

(

C4String

dbName

)

Checks whether a database name is valid, for purposes of appearing in a replication URL.

c4repl_isValidRemote()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4repl_isValidRemote	(	C4Address	remoteAddress,
		C4String	remoteDatabaseName,
		C4Error *	outError
	)

Checks whether the destination of a replication is valid.

(c4repl_new makes the same checks; this function is exposed so CBL can fail sooner.)

c4repl_new()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API C4Replicator * c4repl_new	(	C4Database *	db,
		C4Address	remoteAddress,
		C4String	remoteDatabaseName,
		C4ReplicatorParameters	params,
		C4Error *	outError
	)

Creates a new networked replicator.

Parameters

		C4ReplicatorParameters	params,
		C4Error *	outError
	)

Creates a new replicator from an already-open C4Socket.

This is for use by listeners that accept incoming connections, wrap them by calling c4socket_fromNative(), then start a passive replication to service them.

Parameters

db	The local database.
openSocket	An already-created C4Socket.
params	Replication parameters. Will usually use kC4Passive modes.
outError	Error, if replication can't be created.

Returns

The newly created replicator, or NULL on error.

c4repl_retry()

NODISCARD CBL_CORE_API bool c4repl_retry	(	C4Replicator *	repl,

outError	On failure, error information is stored here.

Returns

True if the replicator will reconnect, false if it won't.

c4repl_setHostReachable()

CBL_CORE_API void c4repl_setHostReachable	(	C4Replicator *	repl,
		bool	reachable
	)

Informs the replicator whether it's considered possible to reach the remote host with the current network configuration.

The default value is true. This only affects the replicator's behavior while it's in the Offline state: Setting it to false will cancel any pending retry and prevent future automatic retries. Setting it back to true will initiate an immediate retry.

Note

This function is thread-safe.

c4repl_setOptions()

CBL_CORE_API void c4repl_setOptions	(	C4Replicator *	repl,
		C4Slice	optionsDictFleece
	)

Parameters

repl	The C4Replicator instance.
level	The progress level to set on the replicator
outErr	Records error information, if any.

Returns

true if the progress level was set, false if there was an error.

c4repl_setSuspended()

CBL_CORE_API void c4repl_setSuspended	(	C4Replicator *	repl,
		bool	suspended
