BACnetStack_SendDeleteObject

bool BACnetStack_SendDeleteObject(
uint8_t * sentInvokeId,
const uint16_t objectType,
const uint32_t objectInstance,
const uint8_t * connectionString,
const uint8_t connectionStringLength,
const uint32_t networkPortInstance,
const uint16_t destinationNetwork,
const uint8_t * destinationAddress,
const uint8_t destinationAddressLength);

Sends a confirmed DeleteObject request to delete an object from a remote device.

BACnet reference: ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2024 clause 15.4 (DeleteObject Service).

Parameter Direction Description
sentInvokeId out The invoke-id of the sent request, valid only if this function returns true.
objectType, objectInstance in The object to delete: one BACnet Object Identifier, carried as two parameters (see the API conventions).
connectionString, connectionStringLength in The datalink address to send TO (the destination) - not the local address to send from. For IPv4 this is 6 bytes: 4 octets of IPv4 address followed by 2 octets of port, big-endian (e.g. 0xC0,0xA8,0x01,0x05,0xBA,0xC0 = 192.168.1.5:47808; see BACnetStack_SendRegisterForeignDevice() for a worked example); on BACnet/IPv4 the stack refuses to send to a connection string of any other length, except that a broadcast from a device registered as a foreign device goes to its BBMD and does not use the connection string. MS/TP and BACnet/SC use a different connection-string shape; see their respective Set/Send exports.
networkPortInstance in The Network Port object instance to send the message on, or BACNET_NETWORK_PORT_DEFAULT (4194303) for the default/single port.
destinationNetwork, destinationAddress, destinationAddressLength in The destination to send the request to.

True if the request was sent, otherwise false.
