First a \fBCLIENT\fR handle is 127 created and then the client calls a procedure to send a request to the server. 128 On receipt of the request, the server calls a dispatch routine to perform the 129 requested service, and then sends a reply. 130 .sp 131 .LP 132 These routines are MT-Safe. In the case of multithreaded applications, the 133 \fB-mt\fR option must be specified on the command line at compilation time. 134 When the \fB-mt\fR option is specified, \fBrpc_createerr\fR becomes a macro 135 that enables each thread to have its own \fBrpc_createerr\fR. See 136 \fBthreads\fR(5). 137 .SS "Routines" 138 .sp 139 .LP 140 See \fBrpc\fR(3NSL) for the definition of the \fBCLIENT\fR data structure. 141 .sp 142 .ne 2 143 .na 144 \fB\fBclnt_control()\fR\fR 145 .ad 146 .sp .6 147 .RS 4n 148 A function macro to change or retrieve various information about a client 149 object. \fIreq\fR indicates the type of operation, and \fIinfo\fR is a pointer 150 to the information. For both connectionless and connection-oriented transports, 151 the supported values of \fIreq\fR and their argument types and what they do 152 are: 153 .sp 154 .in +2 155 .nf 156 CLSET_TIMEOUT struct timeval * set total timeout 157 CLGET_TIMEOUT struct timeval * get total timeout 158 .fi 159 .in -2 160 161 If the timeout is set using \fBclnt_control()\fR, the timeout argument passed 162 by \fBclnt_call()\fR is ignored in all subsequent calls. If the timeout value 163 is set to \fB0\fR, \fBclnt_control()\fR immediately returns 164 \fBRPC_TIMEDOUT\fR. Set the timeout parameter to \fB0\fR for batching calls. 165 .sp 166 .in +2 167 .nf 168 CLGET_SERVER_ADDR struct netbuf * get server's address 169 CLGET_SVC_ADDR struct netbuf * get server's address 170 CLGET_FD int * get associated file descriptor 171 CLSET_FD_CLOSE void close the file descriptor when 172 destroying the client handle 173 (see \fBclnt_destroy()\fR) 174 CLSET_FD_NCLOSE void do not close the file 175 descriptor when destroying the client handle 176 CLGET_VERS rpcvers_t get the RPC program's version 177 number associated with the 178 client handle 179 CLSET_VERS rpcvers_t set the RPC program's version 180 number associated with the 181 client handle.

The argument for this operation 201 can be either: 202 - RPC_CL_BLOCKING all sending operations block 203 until the underlying transport protocol has 204 accepted requests. If you specify this argument 205 you cannot use flush and getting and setting buffer 206 size is meaningless. 207 - RPC_CL_NONBLOCKING sending operations do not 208 block and return as soon as requests enter the buffer. 209 You can now use non-blocking I/O. The requests in the 210 buffer are pending. The requests are sent to 211 the server as soon as a two-way request is sent 212 or a flush is done. You are responsible for flushing 213 the buffer. When you choose RPC_CL_NONBLOCKING argument 214 you have a choice of flush modes as specified by 215 CLSET_FLUSH_MODE. 216 CLGET_IO_MODE rpciomode_t* get the current IO mode 217 CLSET_FLUSH_MODE rpcflushmode_t* set the flush mode. 218 The flush mode can only be used in non-blocking I/O mode. 219 The argument can be either of the following: 220 - RPC_CL_BESTEFFORT_FLUSH: All flushes send requests 221 in the buffer until the transport end-point blocks. 222 If the transport connection is congested, the call 223 returns directly. 224 - RPC_CL_BLOCKING_FLUSH: Flush blocks until the 225 underlying transport protocol accepts all pending 226 requests into the queue. 227 CLGET_FLUSH_MODE rpcflushmode_t* get the current flush mode. 228 CLFLUSH rpcflushmode_t flush the pending requests. 229 This command can only be used in non-blocking I/O mode. 230 The flush policy depends on which of the following 231 parameters is specified: 232 - RPC_CL_DEFAULT_FLUSH, or NULL: The flush is done 233 according to the current flush mode policy 234 (see CLSET_FLUSH_MODE option). 235 - RPC_CL_BESTEFFORT_FLUSH: The flush tries 236 to send pending requests without blocking; the call 237 returns directly. If the transport connection is 238 congested, this call could return without the request 239 being sent. 240 - RPC_CL_BLOCKING_FLUSH: The flush sends all pending 241 requests. This call will block until all the requests 242 have been accepted by the transport layer. 243 CLSET_CONNMAXREC_SIZE int* set the buffer size. 244 It is not possible to dynamically 245 resize the buffer if it contains data. 246 The default size of the buffer is 16 kilobytes. 247 CLGET_CONNMAXREC_SIZE int* get the current size of the 248 buffer 249 CLGET_CURRENT_REC_SIZE int* get the size of 250 the pending requests stored in the buffer. Use of this 251 command is only recommended when you are in non-blocking 252 I/O mode. The current size of the buffer is always zero 253 when the handle is in blocking mode as the buffer is not 254 used in this mode. 255 .fi 256 .in -2 257 258 The following operations are valid for connectionless transports only: 259 .sp 260 .in +2 261 .nf 262 CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT struct timeval * set the retry timeout 263 CLGET_RETRY_TIMEOUT struct timeval * get the retry timeout 264 .fi 265 .in -2 266 267 The retry timeout is the time that \fBRPC\fR waits for the server to reply 268 before retransmitting the request. 269 .sp 270 \fBclnt_control()\fR returns \fBTRUE\fR on success and \fBFALSE\fR on failure. 271 .RE 272 273 .sp 274 .ne 2 275 .na 276 \fB\fBclnt_create()\fR\fR 277 .ad 278 .sp .6 279 .RS 4n 280 Generic client creation routine for program \fIprognum\fR and version 281 \fIversnum\fR. \fIhost\fR identifies the name of the remote host where the 282 server is located. \fInettype\fR indicates the class of transport protocol to 283 use.

Doors is a transport mechanism that 542 facilitates fast data transfer between processes on the same machine. The user 543 may set the size of the send buffer with the parameter \fIsendsz\fR. If 544 \fIsendsz\fR is 0, the corresponding default buffer size is 16 Kbyte. The 545 \fBclnt_door_create()\fR routine returns \fINULL\fR if it fails and sets a 546 value for \fBrpc_createerr\fR. 547 .RE 548 549 .SH ATTRIBUTES 550 .sp 551 .LP 552 See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: 553 .sp 554 555 .sp 556 .TS 557 box; 558 c | c 559 l | l . 560 ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE 561 _ 562 Architecture All 563 _ 564 Interface Stability Committed 565 _ 566 MT-Level MT-Safe 567 .TE 568 569 .SH SEE ALSO 570 .sp 571 .LP 572 \fBrpcbind\fR(1M), \fBrpc\fR(3NSL), \fBrpc_clnt_auth\fR(3NSL), 573 \fBrpc_clnt_calls\fR(3NSL), \fBrpc_svc_create\fR(3NSL), 574 \fBsvc_raw_create\fR(3NSL), \fBthreads\fR(5), \fBattributes\fR(5)
