#define GRPC_ARG_ABSOLUTE_MAX_METADATA_SIZE   "grpc.absolute_max_metadata_size"

Maximum metadata size (hard limit), in bytes.

Note this limit applies to the max sum of all metadata key-value entries in a batch of headers. All requests exceeding this limit will be rejected. Defaults to maximum of 16 KB and GRPC_ARG_MAX_METADATA_SIZE * 1.25 (if set).

◆ GRPC_ARG_ADDRESS_HTTP_PROXY

#define GRPC_ARG_ADDRESS_HTTP_PROXY   "grpc.address_http_proxy"

Specifies an HTTP proxy to use for individual addresses.

The proxy must be specified as an IP address, not a DNS name. If set, the channel arg value will be preferred over the environment variable settings.

◆ GRPC_ARG_ADDRESS_HTTP_PROXY_ENABLED_ADDRESSES

#define GRPC_ARG_ADDRESS_HTTP_PROXY_ENABLED_ADDRESSES   "grpc.address_http_proxy_enabled_addresses"

Comma separated list of addresses or address ranges that are behind the address HTTP proxy.

◆ GRPC_ARG_ALLOW_REUSEPORT

Channel argument for grpc_authorization_policy_provider.

If present, enables gRPC authorization check.

◆ GRPC_ARG_CHANNEL_ID

#define GRPC_ARG_CHANNEL_ID   "grpc.channel_id"

gRPC Objective-C channel pooling id.

◆ GRPC_ARG_CHANNEL_POOL_DOMAIN

#define GRPC_ARG_CHANNEL_POOL_DOMAIN   "grpc.channel_pooling_domain"

gRPC Objective-C channel pooling domain string.

◆ GRPC_ARG_CLIENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS

#define GRPC_ARG_CLIENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS   "grpc.client_idle_timeout_ms"

Timeout after the last RPC finishes on the client channel at which the channel goes back into IDLE state.

Int valued, milliseconds. INT_MAX means unlimited. The default value is 30 minutes and the min value is 1 second.

◆ GRPC_ARG_DEFAULT_AUTHORITY

#define GRPC_ARG_DEFAULT_AUTHORITY   "grpc.default_authority"

Default authority to pass if none specified on call construction.

A string.

◆ GRPC_ARG_DISABLE_CLIENT_AUTHORITY_FILTER

#define GRPC_ARG_DISABLE_CLIENT_AUTHORITY_FILTER   "grpc.disable_client_authority_filter"

If non-zero, client authority filter is disabled for the channel.

◆ GRPC_ARG_DNS_ARES_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS

#define GRPC_ARG_DNS_ARES_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS   "grpc.dns_ares_query_timeout"

If set, determines an upper bound on the number of milliseconds that the c-ares based DNS resolver will wait on queries before cancelling them.

The default value is 120,000. Setting this to "0" will disable the overall timeout entirely. Note that this doesn't include internal c-ares timeouts/backoff/retry logic, and so the actual DNS resolution may time out sooner than the value specified here.

◆ GRPC_ARG_DNS_ENABLE_SRV_QUERIES

#define GRPC_ARG_DNS_ENABLE_SRV_QUERIES   "grpc.dns_enable_srv_queries"

If enabled, the channel's DNS resolver queries for SRV records.

This is useful only when using the "grpclb" load balancing policy, as described in the following documents: https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A5-grpclb-in-dns.md https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A24-lb-policy-config.md https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A26-grpclb-selection.md Note that this works only with the "ares" DNS resolver; it isn't supported by the "native" DNS resolver.

◆ GRPC_ARG_DNS_MIN_TIME_BETWEEN_RESOLUTIONS_MS

#define GRPC_ARG_DNS_MIN_TIME_BETWEEN_RESOLUTIONS_MS   "grpc.dns_min_time_between_resolutions_ms"

◆ GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_CHANNELZ

#define GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_CHANNELZ   "grpc.enable_channelz"

If non-zero, gRPC library will track stats and information at at per channel level.

Disabling channelz naturally disables channel tracing. The default is for channelz to be enabled.

◆ GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_HTTP_PROXY

#define GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_HTTP_PROXY   "grpc.enable_http_proxy"

If set to zero, disables use of http proxies.

Enabled by default.

◆ GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_PER_MESSAGE_COMPRESSION

#define GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_PER_MESSAGE_COMPRESSION   "grpc.per_message_compression"

Enable/disable support for per-message compression.

Defaults to 1, unless GRPC_ARG_MINIMAL_STACK is enabled, in which case it defaults to 0.

◆ GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_PER_MESSAGE_DECOMPRESSION

#define GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_PER_MESSAGE_DECOMPRESSION   "grpc.per_message_decompression"

Experimental Arg.

Enable/disable support for per-message decompression. Defaults to 1. If disabled, decompression will not be performed and the application will see the compressed message in the byte buffer.

◆ GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_RETRIES

#define GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_RETRIES   "grpc.enable_retries"

Enables retry functionality.

Defaults to true. When enabled, transparent retries will be performed as appropriate, and configurable retries are enabled when they are configured via the service config. For details, see: https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A6-client-retries.md NOTE: Hedging functionality is not yet implemented, so those fields in the service config will currently be ignored. See also the GRPC_ARG_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_HEDGING arg below.

◆ GRPC_ARG_EVENT_ENGINE_USE_MEMORY_ALLOCATOR_FACTORY

#define GRPC_ARG_EVENT_ENGINE_USE_MEMORY_ALLOCATOR_FACTORY   "grpc.event_engine_use_memory_allocator_factory"

It accepts a MemoryAllocatorFactory as input and If specified, it forces the default event engine to use memory allocators created using the provided factory.

◆ GRPC_ARG_EXPAND_WILDCARD_ADDRS

#define GRPC_ARG_EXPAND_WILDCARD_ADDRS   "grpc.expand_wildcard_addrs"

If non-zero, expand wildcard addresses to a list of local addresses.

#define GRPC_ARG_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_HEDGING   "grpc.experimental.enable_hedging"

Enables hedging functionality, as described in: https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A6-client-retries.md Default is currently false, since this functionality is not yet fully implemented.

NOTE: This channel arg is experimental and will eventually be removed. Once hedging functionality has been implemented and proves stable, this arg will be removed, and the hedging functionality will be enabled via the GRPC_ARG_ENABLE_RETRIES arg above.

◆ GRPC_ARG_EXPERIMENTAL_GRPCLB_CHANNEL_ARGS

#define GRPC_ARG_EXPERIMENTAL_GRPCLB_CHANNEL_ARGS   "grpc.experimental.grpclb_channel_args"

#define GRPC_ARG_EXPERIMENTAL_HTTP2_PREFERRED_CRYPTO_FRAME_SIZE   "grpc.experimental.http2.enable_preferred_frame_size"

An experimental channel arg which determines whether the preferred crypto frame size http2 setting sent to the peer at startup.

If set to 0 (false

  • default), the preferred frame size is not sent to the peer. Otherwise it sends a default preferred crypto frame size value of 4GB to the peer at the startup of each connection.

◆ GRPC_ARG_EXPERIMENTAL_STATS_PLUGINS

(DEPRECATED) Does not have any effect.

Earlier, this arg configured the minimum time between successive ping frames without receiving any data/header frame, Int valued, milliseconds. This put unnecessary constraints on the configuration of keepalive pings, requiring users to set this channel arg along with GRPC_ARG_KEEPALIVE_TIME_MS. This arg also limited the activity of the other source of pings in gRPC Core - BDP pings, but BDP pings are only sent when there is receive-side data activity, making this arg unuseful for BDP pings too.
