  • Thread-topic: [mosquitto-dev] Is there a function in the broker to "delete" a topic

Hi Nicholas,

 

Thanks for responding.  In my case I want to specifically avoid transmitting another message to subscribed clients – I just want to silently delete the retained message for those topics.  I don’t want the clients to have to deal with an empty message, which they would presumably see as not well-formed.

 

Regards,

                Andrew

Hi Andrew,

 

I don’t know about internal functions.  But to delete a retained message, a client can send an empty message with the retain flag set.

Hello all,

 

I am customizing the mosquitto broker, and I would like to be able to “delete” a topic.  As I understand it, that really just means removing retained messages for that topic.  I realize that the topic will re-appear if a client sends a new message to it, but this would still be very useful for my application.

 

Are there functions in the broker code that:

  1. Remove the retained message for a topic, and
  2. Remove the retained messages for a topic and all its descendants?

 

Thanks,

                Andrew
