add vty_is_active()

For async callbacks it is useful to determine whether a given VTY pointer is still valid.

For example, in osmo-msc, a silent call can be triggered by VTY, which causes a
Paging. The paging_cb then writes to the VTY console that the silent call has
succeeded. Unless the telnet vty session has already ended, in which case
osmo-msc crashes; e.g. from an osmo_interact_vty.py command invocation. With
this function, osmo-msc can ask whether the vty pointer passed to the paging
callback is still active, and skip vty_out() if not.

libosmocore - set of Osmocom core libraries

This repository contains a set of C-language libraries that form the core infrastructure of many Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications projects.

Historically, a lot of this code was developed as part of the OpenBSC project, but which are of a more generic nature and thus useful to (at least) other programs that we develop in the sphere of Free Software / Open Source mobile communications.

There is no clear scope of it. We simply move all shared code between the various Osmocom projects in this library to avoid code duplication.

The libosmcoore.git repository build multiple libraries:

  • libosmocore contains some general-purpose functions like select-loop abstraction, message buffers, timers, linked lists
  • libosmovty contains routines related to the interactive command-line interface called VTY
  • libosmogsm contains definitions and helper code related to GSM protocols
  • libosmoctrl contains a shared implementation of the Osmocom control interface
  • libosmogb contains an implementation of the Gb interface with its NS/BSSGP protocols
  • libosmocodec contains an implementation of GSM voice codecs
  • libosmocoding contains an implementation of GSM channel coding
  • libosmosim contains infrastructure to interface SIM/UICC/USIM cards
  • libosmotrau contains encoding/decoding functions for A-bis TRAU frames
