.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
RPC library routines allow C language programs to make procedure
|
|
|
|
|
calls on other machines across the network.
|
|
|
|
|
First a
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt CLIENT
|
|
|
|
|
handle is created and then the client calls a procedure to send a
|
|
|
|
|
request to the server.
|
|
|
|
|
On receipt of the request, the server calls a dispatch routine
|
|
|
|
|
to perform the requested service, and then sends a reply.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh Routines
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width YYYYYYY

|
|

.It Fn clnt_control

|
|
|
|
A function macro to change or retrieve various information

|
|
|
|
about a client object.
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa req
|
|

indicates the type of operation, and
|

|
|

.Fa info
|
|

is a pointer to the information.

the supported values of

|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn clnt_destroy
|
|
|
|
|
A function macro that destroys the client's RPC handle.
|
|
|
|
|
Destruction usually involves deallocation
|
|
|
|
|
of private data structures, including
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa clnt
|
|
|
|
|
itself.
|
|
|
|
|
Use of
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa clnt
|
|
|
|
|
is undefined after calling
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn clnt_destroy .
|
|
|
|
|
If the RPC library opened the associated file descriptor, or
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv CLSET_FD_CLOSE
|
|
|
|
|
was set using
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn clnt_control ,
|
|
|
|
|
the file descriptor will be closed.
|
|
|
|
|
The caller should call
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn auth_destroy "clnt->cl_auth"
|
|
|
|
|
(before calling
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn clnt_destroy )
|
|
|
|
|
to destroy the associated
|
|
|
|
|
.Vt AUTH
|
|
|
|
|
structure (see
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr rpc_clnt_auth 3 ) .
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn clnt_dg_create
|
|
|
|
|
This routine creates an RPC client for the remote program
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa prognum
|
|
|
|
|
and version
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa versnum ;
|
|
|
|
|
the client uses a connectionless transport.
|
|
|
|
|
The remote program is located at address
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa svcaddr .
|
|
|
|
|
The parameter
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa fildes
|
|
|
|
|
is an open and bound file descriptor.
|
|
|
|
|
This routine will resend the call message in intervals of
|
|
|
|
|
15 seconds until a response is received or until the
|
|
|
|
|
call times out.
|
|
|
|
|
The total time for the call to time out is specified by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn clnt_call
|
|
|
|
|
(see
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn clnt_call
|
|
|
|
|
in
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr rpc_clnt_calls 3 ) .
|
|
|
|
|
The retry time out and the total time out periods can
|
|
|
|
|
be changed using
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn clnt_control .
|
|
|
|
|
The user may set the size of the send and receive
|
|
|
|
|
buffers with the parameters
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa sendsz
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa recvsz ;
|
|
|
|
|
values of 0 choose suitable defaults.
|
|
|
|
|
This routine returns
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
|
|
|
if it fails.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn clnt_pcreateerror
|
|
|
|
|
Print a message to standard error indicating
|
|
|
|
|
why a client RPC handle could not be created.
|
|
|
|
|
The message is prepended with the string
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
|
|
|
and a colon, and appended with a newline.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn clnt_spcreateerror
|
|
|
|
|
Like
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn clnt_pcreateerror ,
|
|
|
|
|
except that it returns a string
|
|
|
|
|
instead of printing to the standard error.
|
|
|
|
|
A newline is not appended to the message in this case.
|
|
|
|
|
Warning:
|
|
|
|
|
returns a pointer to a buffer that is overwritten
|
|
|
|
|
on each call.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn clnt_raw_create
|
|
|
|
|
This routine creates an RPC
|
|
|
|
|
client handle for the remote program
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa prognum
|
|
|
|
|
and version
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa versnum .
|
|
|
|
|
The transport used to pass messages to the service is
|
|
|
|
|
a buffer within the process's address space,
|
|
|
|
|
so the corresponding RPC
|
|
|
|
|
server should live in the same address space;
|
|
|
|
|
(see
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn svc_raw_create
|
|
|
|
|
in
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr rpc_svc_create 3 ) .
|
|
|
|
|
This allows simulation of RPC and measurement of
|
|
|
|
|
RPC overheads, such as round trip times,
|
|
|
|
|
without any kernel or networking interference.
|
|
|
|
|
This routine returns
|
|

.Dv NULL

For connectionless transports, if

it opens a file descriptor on the transport specified by

Depending upon the type of the transport (connection-oriented
|
|
|
|
|
or connectionless),
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn clnt_tli_create
|
|
