       (server only)

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/rpc.h>

       void rpc_$listen(max_calls, status)
       unsigned long max_calls;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       max_calls      This value indicates the maximum number  of  calls  that
		      the  server  is  allowed	to  process  concurrently.  On
		      ULTRIX systems, this value should be 1; any other	 value
		      is ignored and defaulted to one.

       status	      The   completion	 status.   If  the  completion	status
		      returned in is equal to status_$ok ,  then  the  routine
		      that supplied it was successful.

Description
       The  routine dispatches incoming remote procedure call requests to man‐
       ager procedures and returns the responses  to  the  client.   You  must
       issue  or  before  you  use  This  routine normally does not return.  A
       return from this routine indicates either an  irrecoverable  error,  or
       that  an call has been issued.  If is equal to status_$ok , the assump‐
       tion is that has occurred.

Examples

       rpc_$not_in_call	   An internal error.

       rpc_$you_crashed	   This error can occur if a server  has  crashed  and

			   error to the server if the client  makes  a	remote
			   procedure  call  before  the	 server	 crashes, then
			   receives a response after the server restarts.
