MQTT_SerializePublish

Serialize an MQTT PUBLISH packet in the given buffer.

MQTTStatus_t MQTT_SerializePublish( const MQTTPublishInfo_t * pPublishInfo,
                                    uint16_t packetId,
                                    size_t remainingLength,
                                    const MQTTFixedBuffer_t * pFixedBuffer );

This function will serialize complete MQTT PUBLISH packet into the given buffer. If the PUBLISH payload can be sent separately, consider using MQTT_SerializePublishHeader, which will serialize only the PUBLISH header into the buffer.

MQTT_GetPublishPacketSize should be called with pPublishInfo before invoking this function to get the size of the required MQTTFixedBuffer_t and remainingLength. The remainingLength must be the same as returned by MQTT_GetPublishPacketSize. The MQTTFixedBuffer_t must be at least as large as the size returned by MQTT_GetPublishPacketSize.

Parameters

[in]	pPublishInfo	MQTT PUBLISH packet parameters.
[in]	packetId	packet ID generated by MQTT_GetPacketId.
[in]	remainingLength	Remaining Length provided by MQTT_GetPublishPacketSize.
[out]	pFixedBuffer	Buffer for packet serialization.

Returns

MQTTNoMemory if pFixedBuffer is too small to hold the MQTT packet; MQTTBadParameter if invalid parameters are passed; MQTTSuccess otherwise.

Example

// Variables used in this example.
MQTTStatus_t status;
MQTTPublishInfo_t publishInfo = { 0 };
MQTTFixedBuffer_t fixedBuffer;
uint8_t buffer[ BUFFER_SIZE ];
size_t remainingLength = 0, packetSize = 0;
uint16_t packetId;
 
fixedBuffer.pBuffer = buffer;
fixedBuffer.size = BUFFER_SIZE;
 
// A packet identifier is unused for QoS 0 publishes. Otherwise, a valid, unused packet
// identifier must be used.
packetId = 0;
 
// Assume publishInfo has been initialized. Get publish packet size.
status = MQTT_GetPublishPacketSize(
     &publishInfo, &remainingLength, &packetSize
);
assert( status == MQTTSuccess );
assert( packetSize <= BUFFER_SIZE );
 
// Serialize the publish packet into the fixed buffer.
status = MQTT_SerializePublish(
     &publishInfo,
     packetId,
     remainingLength,
     &fixedBuffer
);
 
if( status == MQTTSuccess )
{
     // The publish packet can now be sent to the broker.
}
