6. Azure IoT Edge – Key Methods (ANSI - C)
Key methods to control and operate on messages from GW
static void* MyModule_ParseConfigurationFromJson(const char* configuration) {
/* Capture args from JSON (e.g., set up IP address/port) */ }
static MODULE_HANDLE MyModule_Create(BROKER_HANDLE broker, const void* configuration)
/* Initialize Module*/
static void MyModule_Receive(MODULE_HANDLE moduleHandle, MESSAGE_HANDLE messageHandle)
/* Handle messages received from other modules */
