# CTBCAFComm

This library is mandatory for enabling communication with other applications, such as *toolpack\_engine*, or the Toolpack OAM system. All Toolpack applications must initialize this module.

This module should be initialized through the *GlobalSetParams* function. Parameters for this module are contained in class *CTBCAFCommParams*.

Please refer to documentation in the C++ header files for class *CTBCAFCommParams* to know more about available parameters.

### Example usage

```
TBX_RESULT MyApplication::Init()
{
TBX_RESULT			Result = TBX_RESULT_OK;
CTBCAFGlobalsParams	CafGlobalParams;
CTBCAFCommParams	CafCommParams;

// Set the parameters you want
CafCommParams.mstrApplicationName	= "MyApplication";
// (other parameters are generally left to default values)

CafGlobalParams.mpCommParams		= &CafCommParams;
CafGlobalParams.mfDetectHosts		= TBX_TRUE;		// Allow communicating with toolpack_engine
CafGlobalParams.mfDetectAdapters	= TBX_FALSE;	// This application does not need to directly communicate with TMedia units
// CafGlobalParams.mpLogParams		= [your paramters...]
// CafGlobalParams.mpCliParams		= [your paramters...]
// etc...

Result = TBCAF::GlobalSetParam( &CafGlobalParams );

return Result;
}

TBX_RESULT MyApplication::UnInit()
{
TBX_RESULT			Result = TBX_RESULT_OK;
CTBCAFGlobalsParams		EmptyGlobalParams;

// Terminate all CAF modules
Result = TBCAF::GlobalSetParam( &EmptyGlobalParams );

return Result;
}
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/apis-and-integration/ctbcafcomm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
