rpc_use_family(3ncs)rpc_use_family(3ncs)Namerpc_use_family - create a socket of a specified address family for a
remote procedure call (RPC) server (server only)
Syntax
#include <idl/c/rpc.h>
void rpc_$use_family(family, sockaddr, slength, status)
unsigned long family;
socket_$addr_t *sockaddr;
unsigned long *slength;
status_$t *status;
Arguments
family The address family of the socket to be created. The
value must be one of socket_$internet or socket_$unspec.
sockaddr The socket address of the socket on which the server
will listen.
slength The length, in bytes, of sockaddr.
status The completion status. If the completion status
returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine
that supplied it was successful.
Description
The routine creates a socket for a server without specifying its port
number. The RPC runtime software assigns a port number. If a server
must listen on a particular well-known port, use to create the socket.
A server listens on one socket per address family, regardless of how
many interfaces that it exports. Therefore, servers should make this
call once per supported address family.
Examples
The following statement creates a server's socket:
rpc_$use_family (family, &saddr, &slen, &status);
Diagnostics
This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in
rpc_$cant_create_sock
The RPC runtime library was unable to create a
socket.
rpc_$not_in_call An internal error.
rpc_$proto_error An internal protocol error.
rpc_$too_many_sockets
The server is trying to use more than the maximum
number of sockets that is allowed; it has called or
too many times.
rpc_$addr_in_use The address and port specified in an routine are
already in use. This is caused by multiple calls
to with the same well-known port.
