I'm building a gen_server that communicates with an external process via an
erlang port.
Sending messages to the port is straight-forward.
However, I haven't yet figured out how to get my gen_server to Receive
messages from the port. I've tried the following, but to no avail:
handle_cast({Port, {data, Binary}}, State)
when is_port(Port); is_binary(Binary) ->
Term = binary_to_term(Binary),
io:format("Received data on port: ~w~n", [Term]),
handle_port(Term, State);
How can a gen_server receive messages from a port?
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Rennie
