    event_type_t         *event_types,

);

Parameters

Key	Type	Description
`gclass_name`	`gclass_name_t`	The name of the `gclass` to be created.
`event_types`	`event_type_t *`	A list of event types associated with the `gclass`.
`states`	`states_t *`	A list of states defining the finite state machine of the `gclass`.
`gmt`	`const GMETHODS *`	A pointer to the global methods table defining the behavior of the `gclass`.
`lmt`	`const LMETHOD *`	A pointer to the local methods table for internal method handling.
`tattr_desc`	`const sdata_desc_t *`	A pointer to the attribute description table defining the attributes of the `gclass`.
`priv_size`	`size_t`	The size of the private data structure allocated for each instance of the `gclass`.
`authz_table`	`const sdata_desc_t *`	A pointer to the authorization table defining access control rules.
`command_table`	`const sdata_desc_t *`	A pointer to the command table defining available commands for the `gclass`.
`s_user_trace_level`	`const trace_level_t *`	A pointer to the trace level table defining user-defined trace levels.
`gclass_flag`	`gclass_flag_t`	Flags defining special properties of the `gclass`.

Return Value

Returns a handle to the newly created gclass, or NULL if an error occurs.

Notes

The gclass_name must be unique and cannot contain the characters . or ^. If the gclass already exists, an error is logged and NULL is returned. The function initializes the finite state machine (FSM) and event list for the gclass. If the FSM is invalid, the gclass is unregistered and NULL is returned.
