ola::DeviceManager Class Reference

Detailed Description

Keeps track of OLA's devices.

Devices can be identified in one of two ways, by device-id or by alias. device-ids are strings and are persistent across restarting olad and reload the plugins. device-ids are the keys used in preference containers to identify devices.

Device aliases are unsigned integers and are only valid for the lifetime of the DeviceManager object. Device aliases are used by users when patching / controlling a device. since '1' is easier to understand / type than 5-02050016. If a device is registered, then unregistered, then registered again, it'll have the same device alias.

Parameters

device_id

the id of the device to remove

Returns

true on sucess, false on failure

bool ola::DeviceManager::UnregisterDevice

(

const AbstractDevice *

device

)

Unregister a device by pointer.

Parameters

device

a pointer to the device.

Returns

true on sucess, false on failure
