Re: [dsdp-tcf-dev] Send an event from a worker thread

[Michael Sills-Lavoie <michael.sills.lavoie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Is there an other way to send event on a channel beside to use 
post_event()? I'm asking that because by doing this, only the "main" 
thread can send data. Is there a way to use multiple connexion to the 
agent and send data simultaneously to these connexion from multiple 
thread? It would be beneficial if a given server had many network cards.

Thanks

Michael
