A handle representing an MQTT client. A valid client handle is available following a successful call to MQTTClient_create().

A value representing an MQTT message. A delivery token is returned to the client application when a message is published. The token can then be used to check that the message was successfully delivered to its destination (see MQTTClient_publish(), MQTTClient_publishMessage(), MQTTClient_deliveryComplete(), MQTTClient_waitForCompletion() and MQTTClient_getPendingDeliveryTokens()).

This is a callback function. The client application must provide an implementation of this function to enable asynchronous receipt of messages. The function is registered with the client library by passing it as an argument to MQTTClient_setCallbacks(). It is called by the client library when a new message that matches a client subscription has been received from the server. This function is executed on a separate thread to the one on which the client application is running.

Parameters

context A pointer to the context value originally passed to MQTTClient_setCallbacks(), which contains any application-specific context.
topicName The topic associated with the received message.
topicLen The length of the topic if there are one more NULL characters embedded in topicName, otherwise topicLen is 0. If topicLen is 0, the value returned by strlen(topicName) can be trusted. If topicLen is greater than 0, the full topic name can be retrieved by accessing topicName as a byte array of length topicLen.
message The MQTTClient_message structure for the received message. This structure contains the message payload and attributes.

Returns

This function must return 0 or 1 indicating whether or not the message has been safely received by the client application.
Returning 1 indicates that the message has been successfully handled. To free the message storage, MQTTClient_freeMessage must be called. To free the topic name storage, MQTTClient_free must be called.
Returning 0 indicates that there was a problem. In this case, the client library will reinvoke MQTTClient_messageArrived() to attempt to deliver the message to the application again. Do not free the message and topic storage when returning 0, otherwise the redelivery will fail.

This is a callback function. The client application must provide an implementation of this function to enable asynchronous notification of delivery of messages. The function is registered with the client library by passing it as an argument to MQTTClient_setCallbacks(). It is called by the client library after the client application has published a message to the server. It indicates that the necessary handshaking and acknowledgements for the requested quality of service (see MQTTClient_message.qos) have been completed. This function is executed on a separate thread to the one on which the client application is running. Note:MQTTClient_deliveryComplete() is not called when messages are published at QoS0.

Parameters

context A pointer to the context value originally passed to MQTTClient_setCallbacks(), which contains any application-specific context.
dt The MQTTClient_deliveryToken associated with the published message. Applications can check that all messages have been correctly published by matching the delivery tokens returned from calls to MQTTClient_publish() and MQTTClient_publishMessage() with the tokens passed to this callback.

This is a callback function. The client application must provide an implementation of this function to enable asynchronous notification of the loss of connection to the server. The function is registered with the client library by passing it as an argument to MQTTClient_setCallbacks(). It is called by the client library if the client loses its connection to the server. The client application must take appropriate action, such as trying to reconnect or reporting the problem. This function is executed on a separate thread to the one on which the client application is running.

Parameters

context A pointer to the context value originally passed to MQTTClient_setCallbacks(), which contains any application-specific context.
cause The reason for the disconnection. Currently, cause is always set to NULL.

This is a callback function, which will be called when the a disconnect packet is received from the server. This applies to MQTT V5 and above only.

Parameters

context A pointer to the context value originally passed to MQTTClient_setDisconnected(), which contains any application-specific context.
properties The MQTT V5 properties received with the disconnect, if any.
reasonCode The MQTT V5 reason code received with the disconnect. Currently, cause is always set to NULL.

This is a callback function, the MQTT V5 version of MQTTClient_deliveryComplete(). The client application must provide an implementation of this function to enable asynchronous notification of the completed delivery of messages. It is called by the client library after the client application has published a message to the server. It indicates that the necessary handshaking and acknowledgements for the requested quality of service (see MQTTClient_message.qos) have been completed. This function is executed on a separate thread to the one on which the client application is running. Note: It is not called when messages are published at QoS0.

Parameters

context A pointer to the context value originally passed to MQTTClient_setCallbacks(), which contains any application-specific context.
dt The MQTTClient_deliveryToken associated with the published message. Applications can check that all messages have been correctly published by matching the delivery tokens returned from calls to MQTTClient_publish() and MQTTClient_publishMessage() with the tokens passed to this callback.
packet_type the last received packet type for this completion. For QoS 1 always PUBACK. For QoS 2 could be PUBREC or PUBCOMP.
properties the MQTT V5 properties returned with the last packet from the server
reasonCode the reason code returned from the server

MQTT version 5.0 response information

This is a callback function prototype which must be implemented if you want to receive trace information. Do not invoke any other Paho API calls in this callback function - unpredictable behavior may result.

Parameters

level the trace level of the message returned
message the trace message. This is a pointer to a static buffer which will be overwritten on each call. You must copy the data if you want to keep it for later.

Global init of mqtt library. Call once on program start to set global behaviour. do_openssl_init - if mqtt library should initialize OpenSSL (1) or rely on the caller to do it before using the library (0)

This function sets the callback functions for a specific client. If your client application doesn't use a particular callback, set the relevant parameter to NULL. Calling MQTTClient_setCallbacks() puts the client into multi-threaded mode. Any necessary message acknowledgements and status communications are handled in the background without any intervention from the client application. See Asynchronous vs synchronous client applications for more information.

Note: The MQTT client must be disconnected when this function is called.

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
context A pointer to any application-specific context. The the context pointer is passed to each of the callback functions to provide access to the context information in the callback.
cl A pointer to an MQTTClient_connectionLost() callback function. You can set this to NULL if your application doesn't handle disconnections.
ma A pointer to an MQTTClient_messageArrived() callback function. This callback function must be set when you call MQTTClient_setCallbacks(), as otherwise there would be nowhere to deliver any incoming messages.
dc A pointer to an MQTTClient_deliveryComplete() callback function. You can set this to NULL if your application publishes synchronously or if you do not want to check for successful delivery.

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS if the callbacks were correctly set, MQTTCLIENT_FAILURE if an error occurred.

Sets the MQTTClient_disconnected() callback function for a client. This will be called if a disconnect packet is received from the server. Only valid for MQTT V5 and above.

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
context A pointer to any application-specific context. The the context pointer is passed to each of the callback functions to provide access to the context information in the callback.
co A pointer to an MQTTClient_disconnected() callback function. NULL removes the callback setting.

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS if the callbacks were correctly set, MQTTCLIENT_FAILURE if an error occurred.

This function creates an MQTT client ready for connection to the specified server and using the specified persistent storage (see MQTTClient_persistence). See also MQTTClient_destroy().

Parameters

handle A pointer to an MQTTClient handle. The handle is populated with a valid client reference following a successful return from this function.
serverURI A null-terminated string specifying the server to which the client will connect. It takes the form protocol://host:port. Currently, protocol must be:
tcp:// or mqtt:// - Insecure TCP
ssl:// or mqtts:// - Encrypted SSL/TLS
ws:// - Insecure websockets
wss:// - Secure web sockets
The TLS enabled prefixes (ssl, mqtts, wss) are only valid if a TLS version of the library is linked with. For host, you can specify either an IP address or a host name. For instance, to connect to a server running on the local machines with the default MQTT port, specify tcp://localhost:1883.
clientId The client identifier passed to the server when the client connects to it. It is a null-terminated UTF-8 encoded string.
persistence_type The type of persistence to be used by the client:
MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_NONE: Use in-memory persistence. If the device or system on which the client is running fails or is switched off, the current state of any in-flight messages is lost and some messages may not be delivered even at QoS1 and QoS2.
MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_DEFAULT: Use the default (file system-based) persistence mechanism. Status about in-flight messages is held in persistent storage and provides some protection against message loss in the case of unexpected failure.
MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_USER: Use an application-specific persistence implementation. Using this type of persistence gives control of the persistence mechanism to the application. The application has to implement the MQTTClient_persistence interface.
persistence_context If the application uses MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_NONE persistence, this argument is unused and should be set to NULL. For MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_DEFAULT persistence, it should be set to the location of the persistence directory (if set to NULL, the persistence directory used is the working directory). Applications that use MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_USER persistence set this argument to point to a valid MQTTClient_persistence structure.

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS if the client is successfully created, otherwise an error code is returned.

A version of :MQTTClient_create() with additional options. This function creates an MQTT client ready for connection to the specified server and using the specified persistent storage (see MQTTClient_persistence). See also MQTTClient_destroy().

Parameters

handle A pointer to an MQTTClient handle. The handle is populated with a valid client reference following a successful return from this function.
serverURI A null-terminated string specifying the server to which the client will connect. It takes the form protocol://host:port. Currently, protocol must be tcp or ssl. For host, you can specify either an IP address or a host name. For instance, to connect to a server running on the local machines with the default MQTT port, specify tcp://localhost:1883.
clientId The client identifier passed to the server when the client connects to it. It is a null-terminated UTF-8 encoded string.
persistence_type The type of persistence to be used by the client:
MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_NONE: Use in-memory persistence. If the device or system on which the client is running fails or is switched off, the current state of any in-flight messages is lost and some messages may not be delivered even at QoS1 and QoS2.
MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_DEFAULT: Use the default (file system-based) persistence mechanism. Status about in-flight messages is held in persistent storage and provides some protection against message loss in the case of unexpected failure.
MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_USER: Use an application-specific persistence implementation. Using this type of persistence gives control of the persistence mechanism to the application. The application has to implement the MQTTClient_persistence interface.
persistence_context If the application uses MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_NONE persistence, this argument is unused and should be set to NULL. For MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_DEFAULT persistence, it should be set to the location of the persistence directory (if set to NULL, the persistence directory used is the working directory). Applications that use MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_USER persistence set this argument to point to a valid MQTTClient_persistence structure.
options additional options for the create.

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS if the client is successfully created, otherwise an error code is returned.

This function returns version information about the library. no trace information will be returned.

Returns

an array of strings describing the library. The last entry is a NULL pointer.

This function attempts to connect a previously-created client (see MQTTClient_create()) to an MQTT server using the specified options. If you want to enable asynchronous message and status notifications, you must call MQTTClient_setCallbacks() prior to MQTTClient_connect().

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
options A pointer to a valid MQTTClient_connectOptions structure.

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS if the client successfully connects to the server. An error code is returned if the client was unable to connect to the server. Error codes greater than 0 are returned by the MQTT protocol:

1: Connection refused: Unacceptable protocol version
2: Connection refused: Identifier rejected
3: Connection refused: Server unavailable
4: Connection refused: Bad user name or password
5: Connection refused: Not authorized
6-255: Reserved for future use

Frees the storage associated with the MQTT response.

Parameters

response the response structure to be freed

Attempts to connect a previously-created client (see MQTTClient_create()) to an MQTT server using MQTT version 5.0 and the specified options. If you want to enable asynchronous message and status notifications, you must call MQTTClient_setCallbacks() prior to MQTTClient_connect().

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
options A pointer to a valid MQTTClient_connectOptions structure.
connectProperties the MQTT 5.0 connect properties to use

This function attempts to disconnect the client from the MQTT server. In order to allow the client time to complete handling of messages that are in-flight when this function is called, a timeout period is specified. When the timeout period has expired, the client disconnects even if there are still outstanding message acknowledgements. The next time the client connects to the same server, any QoS 1 or 2 messages which have not completed will be retried depending on the cleansession settings for both the previous and the new connection (see MQTTClient_connectOptions.cleansession and MQTTClient_connect()).

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
timeout The client delays disconnection for up to this time (in milliseconds) in order to allow in-flight message transfers to complete.

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS if the client successfully disconnects from the server. An error code is returned if the client was unable to disconnect from the server

This function allows the client application to test whether or not a client is currently connected to the MQTT server.

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().

Returns

Boolean true if the client is connected, otherwise false.

If the client application needs to test for succesful delivery of QoS1 and QoS2 messages, this can be done either asynchronously or synchronously (see Asynchronous vs synchronous client applications, MQTTClient_waitForCompletion and MQTTClient_deliveryComplete()).

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
topicName The topic associated with this message.
msg A pointer to a valid MQTTClient_message structure containing the payload and attributes of the message to be published.
dt A pointer to an MQTTClient_deliveryToken. This is populated with a token representing the message when the function returns successfully. If your application does not use delivery tokens, set this argument to NULL.

Returns

the MQTT 5.0 response information: error codes and properties.

This function is called by the client application to synchronize execution of the main thread with completed publication of a message. When called, MQTTClient_waitForCompletion() blocks execution until the message has been successful delivered or the specified timeout has expired. See Asynchronous vs synchronous client applications.

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
dt The MQTTClient_deliveryToken that represents the message being tested for successful delivery. Delivery tokens are issued by the publishing functions MQTTClient_publish() and MQTTClient_publishMessage().
timeout The maximum time to wait in milliseconds.

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS if the message was successfully delivered. An error code is returned if the timeout expires or there was a problem checking the token.

This function sets a pointer to an array of delivery tokens for messages that are currently in-flight (pending completion).

Important note: The memory used to hold the array of tokens is malloc()'d in this function. The client application is responsible for freeing this memory when it is no longer required.

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
tokens The address of a pointer to an MQTTClient_deliveryToken. When the function returns successfully, the pointer is set to point to an array of tokens representing messages pending completion. The last member of the array is set to -1 to indicate there are no more tokens. If no tokens are pending, the pointer is set to NULL.

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS if the function returns successfully. An error code is returned if there was a problem obtaining the list of pending tokens.

When implementing a single-threaded client, call this function periodically to allow processing of message retries and to send MQTT keepalive pings. If the application is calling MQTTClient_receive() regularly, then it is not necessary to call this function.

This function performs a synchronous receive of incoming messages. It should be used only when the client application has not set callback methods to support asynchronous receipt of messages (see Asynchronous vs synchronous client applications and MQTTClient_setCallbacks()). Using this function allows a single-threaded client subscriber application to be written. When called, this function blocks until the next message arrives or the specified timeout expires (see also MQTTClient_yield()).

Important note: The application must free() the memory allocated to the topic and the message when processing is complete (see MQTTClient_freeMessage()).

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
topicName The address of a pointer to a topic. This function allocates the memory for the topic and returns it to the application by setting topicName to point to the topic.
topicLen The length of the topic. If the return code from this function is MQTTCLIENT_TOPICNAME_TRUNCATED, the topic contains embedded NULL characters and the full topic should be retrieved by using topicLen.
message The address of a pointer to the received message. This function allocates the memory for the message and returns it to the application by setting message to point to the received message. The pointer is set to NULL if the timeout expires.
timeout The length of time to wait for a message in milliseconds.

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS or MQTTCLIENT_TOPICNAME_TRUNCATED if a message is received. MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS can also indicate that the timeout expired, in which case message is NULL. An error code is returned if there was a problem trying to receive a message.

This function frees memory allocated to an MQTT message, including the additional memory allocated to the message payload. The client application calls this function when the message has been fully processed. Important note: This function does not free the memory allocated to a message topic string. It is the responsibility of the client application to free this memory using the MQTTClient_free() library function.

Parameters

msg The address of a pointer to the MQTTClient_message structure to be freed.

This function frees memory allocated by the MQTT C client library, especially the topic name. This is needed on Windows when the client libary and application program have been compiled with different versions of the C compiler. It is thus good policy to always use this function when freeing any MQTT C client- allocated memory.

Parameters

ptr The pointer to the client library storage to be freed.

This function is used to allocate memory to be used or freed by the MQTT C client library, especially the data in user persistence. This is needed on Windows when the client library and application program have been compiled with different versions of the C compiler.

Parameters

size The size of the memory to be allocated.

This function frees the memory allocated to an MQTT client (see MQTTClient_create()). It should be called when the client is no longer required.

Parameters

handle A pointer to the handle referring to the MQTTClient structure to be freed.

This function sets the level of trace information which will be returned in the trace callback.

Parameters

level the trace level required

This function sets the trace callback if needed. If set to NULL, no trace information will be returned. The default trace level is MQTTASYNC_TRACE_MINIMUM.

Parameters

callback a pointer to the function which will handle the trace information

Sets the timeout value for un/subscribe commands when waiting for the un/suback response from the server. Values less than 5000 are not allowed.

Parameters

handle A valid client handle from a successful call to MQTTClient_create().
milliSeconds the maximum number of milliseconds to wait

Returns

MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS or MQTTCLIENT_FAILURE

Returns a pointer to the string representation of the error or NULL.

Do not free after use. Returns NULL if the error code is unknown.
