rc_acct_async(3)             Radius client library            rc_acct_async(3)

NAME
       rc_acct_async - Sends an accounting request to every configured
       accounting server without waiting for a reply.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <radcli/>

       int rc_acct_async(
           rc_handle   *rh,
           uint32_t     nas_port,
           VALUE_PAIR  *send
       );

DESCRIPTION
       Selects the server list the same way rc_acct() does (acctserver, or
       authserver under TLS/DTLS). Unlike rc_acct()/rc_aaa(), which stop at
       the first server that replies and fail over to the next only after a
       timeout, this sends to every configured server unconditionally, since
       there is no reply to judge success or failure by. Intended for best-
       effort notifications such as an Accounting-Stop sent while an
       application is shutting down and cannot afford to block.

PARAMETERS
       rh     a handle to parsed configuration.


       nas_port
              the physical NAS port number to include (may be zero).


       send   VALUE_PAIR list of attributes to send; NAS-Port and Acct-Delay-
              Time are filled in as with rc_acct().


STRUCTURES

       Avoid using this structure directly. Use rc_avpair_get_uint32() for
       integer/IPv4/date values, rc_avpair_get_in6() for IPv6 addresses and
       prefixes, rc_avpair_get_raw() for string/binary values, and
       rc_avpair_get_attr() to read the attribute type and ID. To iterate the
       list use rc_avpair_next(). Free the entire list with rc_avpair_free().


              struct rc_value_pair {
                char                   name[RC_NAME_LENGTH+1];      // attribute name if known.
                uint64_t               attribute; // attribute numeric value of type rc_attr_id including vendor; use VENDOR() and ATTRID() to separate.
                rc_attr_type           type;      // attribute type.
                uint32_t               lvalue;    // attribute value if type is PW_TYPE_INTEGER, PW_TYPE_DATE or PW_TYPE_IPADDR.
                char                   strvalue[AUTH_STRING_LEN+1];  // contains attribute value in other cases.
                struct rc_value_pair  *next;
                char                   pad[32];       // unused pad
              };


RETURN VALUE
       OK_RC (0) if the packet was handed to the socket layer for at least one
       server, ERROR_RC if no accounting servers are configured or the send
       failed for all of them.
