MQTT_SerializePublish

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

Serialize an MQTT PUBLISH packet in the given buffer.

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.
}
