|  | ExceptionSink * | xsink
| ) |  |

sets the value of the given thread-local variable (which may be a closure-bound variable as well) in the current stack frame for the current thread's QoreProgram object

Parameters

  frame | the stack frame where 0 is the current (highest) stack frame
  name | the name of the variable
  val | the value to assign; the value will be referenced for the assignment if one is made
  xsink | for Qore-language exceptions

Returns
  0 = OK or -1 = a Qore-language exception occurred making the assignment (ex: incompatible types) or 1 = variable not found or inaccessible stack frame (no exception thrown)

Note
  pure local variables (i.e. not closure bound and not subject to the reference operator) are not stored with type information at runtime; type information is only enforced at parse / compile time, therefore it's possible to set local variables with invalid values that contradict their declarations with this function

## qore_get_module_option()

DLLEXPORT QoreValue qore_get_module_option | ( | std::string | mod,
|  | std::string | opt
| ) |  |

## qore_reassign_signal()

DLLEXPORT QoreStringNode* qore_reassign_signal | ( | int | sig,
|  | const char * | name
| ) |  |

allows a module to take over ownership of a signal

Parameters

  sig | signal number
  name | module name taking ownership of managing the signal

Returns
  nullptr for OK, non-zero for failed (error message); in case a QoreStringNode pointer is returned, the caller must dereference it

See also
  - qore_reassign_signals() to allocate multiple signals to a module atomically
  - qore_release_signal() to release a signal allocation manually
  - qore_release_signals() to release multiple signal allocations manually

## qore_reassign_signals()

DLLEXPORT QoreStringNode* qore_reassign_signals | ( | const sig_vec_t & | sig_vec,
|  | const char * | name
| ) |  |

allows a module to take over ownership of multiple signals atomically

Parameters

  sig_vec | a vector of signal numbers to allocate to the module
  name | module name taking ownership of managing the signal

Returns
  nullptr for OK (all signals were allocated to the module), non-zero for failed (error message; no signals were allocated); in case a QoreStringNode pointer is returned, the caller must dereference it

Note
  if any signal cannot be allocated to the module, no signals are allocated to the module; the call either succeeds for all or fails for all; no partial failures are possible; use this variant when allocating multiple signals to a module

  - qore_reassign_signal() to allocate a single signal to a module

Parameters

  name | module name owning the signal

Returns
  0 = signal allocation released, -1 = no changes were made (module does not manage signal)

See also
