API Notes: SystemConfiguration framework¶
The full API is described in Apple’s documentation, both the C and Objective-C APIs are available (but see the API Notes below).
These bindings are accessed through the SystemConfiguration
package (that is, import SystemConfiguration
).
API Notes¶
callbacks¶
There are several APIs that have a callback function and context structure in the (Objective-)C API. In all cases an arbitrary object can be passed as the context, PyObjC will wrap that in the proper context structure for you.
SCDynamicStore¶
The context
argument for SCDynamicStoreCreate
is an arbitrary python object,
not a SCDynamicStoreContext
structure as it is in C. The bridge will manage that
context structure for you.
SCNetworkCheckReachabilityByAddress¶
The address
argument should have a value that can also be used with the Python socket
APIs (that is, a (host, port)
tuple for IPv4 addresses or
(host, port, flowinfo, scopeid)
tuple for IPv6 addresses).
The addrlen
argument should be objc._size_sockaddr_ip4
for IPv4 addresses and
_size_sockaddr_ip6
for IPv6 addresses.
