[Xenomai-help] removing orphaned xenomai registry entries

[M. Koehrer]

Hi everybody,

especially in the development phase of a project, I have the situation to create some 
entries like events that end up in the Xenomai's registry.
However, while developing I exit my application before processing the clean up phase.
This means, that I have a couple of orphaned events in the registry
(e.g. in /proc/xenomai/registry/native/events).
How can I force Xenomai to remove this entries?
Is there something like a rmxeno  that works like rm or rmmod and removes specified
elements? (if not: Isn't this an idea for any of the next versions of Xenomai....)
The only way I found out is to reboot the PC which is not nice as it takes a while.
Of course, in a final application I should never have this situation, however in the development
phase this might occur fairly often.

Thanks for any feedback on this.

Regards

Mathias

Yould could create a small application finding existing nodes
under /proc/xenomai/registry/native, bind to them depending on their
type (e.g. rt_event_bind(&desc, ...)), then call the proper deletion
routine against the bound descriptor (e.g. rt_event_delete(&desc)).
