Last updated March 2020

Name

msys.counter.read — Read the specified counter

Synopsis

msys.counter.read(object_or_path);

object_or_path: mixed

Description

Returns the current integer value of the given counter object or path. For example, msys.counter.read("/sites/example/errors") and msys.counter.read(c) are valid (where c was a successful return value of msys.counter.open).

Enable this function with the statement require('msys.counter');.

require("msys.core");
require("msys.counter");

local mod = {};
local ct = msys.counter.open("/lua/test");

function mod:validate_mailfrom(str, accept, vctx)
  str = tostring(str);
  if (string.find(str, "count@test.example.com") != nil) then
    msys.counter.inc(ct);
  elseif (string.find(str, "blargh@test.example.com") != nil) then
    c = msys.counter.open("/lua/blargh", msys.counter.RELAXED);
    msys.counter.add(c, 1024);
  elseif (string.find(str, "blarghstring@test.example.com") != nil) then
    msys.counter.add("/lua/blargh", 3);
  elseif (string.find(str, "blarghinc@test.example.com") != nil) then
    msys.counter.inc("/lua/blargh");
  elseif (string.find(str, "unlink@test.example.com") != nil) then
    msys.counter.unlink("/lua/blargh");
  elseif (string.find(str, "readname@test.example.com") != nil) then
    c = msys.counter.open("/readname");
    msys.counter.add(c, msys.counter.read("/lua/blargh"));
  elseif (string.find(str, "readcounter@test.example.com") != nil) then
    c = msys.counter.open("/readcounter");
    msys.counter.add(c, msys.counter.read(msys.counter.open("/lua/blargh")));
  elseif (string.find(str, "resetname@test.example.com") != nil) then
    msys.counter.reset("/lua/blargh");
  elseif (string.find(str, "resetcounter@test.example.com") != nil) then
    c = msys.counter.open("/lua/test");
    msys.counter.reset(c);
  end

  return msys.core.VALIDATE_CONT;
end

msys.registerModule("counter", mod);

You can also use the counter console command to display and manipulate counters.
