NAME

Openview::Message::opcmsg - Perl extension for sending HP OpenView Operations messages.

SYNOPSIS

   #low level access to the opcmsg API:
   use Openview::Message::opcmsg ;
   opcmsg( OPC_SEV_MINOR 
          ,'application' 
          ,'object' 
          ,'msg_text' 
          ,'msg_group' 
          ,hostname 
         );

DESCRIPTION

Openview::Message::opcmsg provides low level access to the HP Openview operations opcmsg() library API. This enables perl scripts to send Openview messages without having to use system() calls or fork sub-process processes. (i.e. it is much more efficient than the opcmsg command).

EXPORTS

The following symbols are exported by default:

   opcmsg
   OPC_SEV_NORMAL
   OPC_SEV_WARNING
   OPC_SEV_MINOR
   OPC_SEV_MAJOR
   OPC_SEV_CRITICAL

The following symbols may attitionally be imported, but are probably not very useful:

   OPC_SEV_UNKNOWN
   OPC_SEV_UNCHANGED
   OPC_SEV_NONE

SEE ALSO

Openview::Message::Sender for an OO interface to this function, which does not export symbols into the user's namespace.
