DESCRIPTION
     These routines are part of the RPC library which allows C language pro‐
     grams to make procedure calls on servers across the network.  These rou‐
     tines deal with the creation of service handles.  Once the handle is cre‐
     ated, the server can be invoked by calling svc_run().

ROUTINES
     See rpc(3) for the definition of the SVCXPRT data structure.

     svc_control()
	    A function to change or retrieve various information about a ser‐
	    vice object.  req indicates the type of operation and info is a
	    pointer to the information.	 The supported values of req, their
	    argument types, and what they do are:

	    SVCGET_VERSQUIET
			If a request is received for a program number served
			by this server but the version number is outside the
			range registered with the server, an
			RPC_PROGVERSMISMATCH error will normally be returned.
			info should be a pointer to an integer.	 Upon success‐
			ful completion of the SVCGET_VERSQUIET request, *info
			contains an integer which describes the server's cur‐
			rent behavior:	0 indicates normal server behavior
			(that is, an RPC_PROGVERSMISMATCH error will be
			returned); 1 indicates that the out of range request
			will be silently ignored.

	    SVCSET_VERSQUIET
			If a request is received for a program number served
			by this server but the version number is outside the
			range registered with the server, an
			RPC_PROGVERSMISMATCH error will normally be returned.
			It is sometimes desirable to change this behavior.
			info should be a pointer to an integer which is either
			0 (indicating normal server behavior - an
			RPC_PROGVERSMISMATCH error will be returned), or 1
			(indicating that the out of range request should be
			silently ignored).

     svc_create()
	    svc_create() creates server handles for all the transports belong‐
	    ing to the class nettype.  nettype defines a class of transports
	    which can be used for a particular application.  The transports
	    are tried in left to right order in NETPATH variable or in top to
	    bottom order in the netconfig database.  If nettype is NULL, it
	    defaults to netpath.

	    svc_create() registers itself with the rpcbind service (see
	    rpcbind(8)).  dispatch is called when there is a remote procedure
	    call for the given prognum and versnum; this requires calling
	    svc_run() (see svc_run() in rpc_svc_reg(3)).  If svc_create() suc‐
	    ceeds, it returns the number of server handles it created, other‐
	    wise it returns 0 and an error message is logged.

     svc_destroy()
	    A function macro that destroys the RPC service handle xprt.
	    Destruction usually involves deallocation of private data struc‐
	    tures, including xprt itself.  Use of xprt is undefined after
	    calling this routine.

     svc_dg_create()
	    This routine creates a connectionless RPC service handle, and
	    returns a pointer to it.  This routine returns NULL if it fails,
	    and an error message is logged.  sendsz and recvsz are parameters
	    used to specify the size of the buffers.  If they are 0, suitable
	    defaults are chosen.  The file descriptor fildes should be open
	    and bound.	The server is not registered with rpcbind(8).
	    Warning: since connectionless-based RPC messages can only hold
	    limited amount of encoded data, this transport cannot be used for
	    procedures that take large arguments or return huge results.

     svc_fd_create()
	    This routine creates a service on top of an open and bound file
	    descriptor, and returns the handle to it.  Typically, this
	    descriptor is a connected file descriptor for a connection-ori‐
	    ented transport.  sendsz and recvsz indicate sizes for the send
	    and receive buffers.  If they are 0, reasonable defaults are cho‐
	    sen.  This routine returns NULL if it fails, and an error message
	    is logged.

     svc_raw_create()
	    This routine creates an RPC service handle and returns a pointer
	    to it.  The transport is really a buffer within the process's
	    address space, so the corresponding RPC client should live in the
	    same address space; (see clnt_raw_create() in rpc_clnt_create(3)).
	    This routine allows simulation of RPC and acquisition of RPC over‐
	    heads (such as round trip times), without any kernel and network‐
	    ing interference.  This routine returns NULL if it fails, and an
	    error message is logged.  Note: svc_run() should not be called
	    when the raw interface is being used.

     svc_tli_create()
	    This routine creates an RPC server handle, and returns a pointer
	    to it.  fildes is the file descriptor on which the service is lis‐
	    tening.  If fildes is RPC_ANYFD, it opens a file descriptor on the
	    transport specified by netconf.  If the file descriptor is unbound
	    and bindaddr is non-null fildes is bound to the address specified
	    by bindaddr, otherwise fildes is bound to a default address chosen
	    by the transport.

	    Note: the t_bind structure comes from the TLI/XTI SysV interface,
	    which NetBSD does not use.	The structure is defined in
	    <rpc/types.h> for compatibility as:

	    struct t_bind {
		struct netbuf addr; /* network address, see rpc(3) */
		unsigned int  qlen; /* queue length (for listen(2)) */
	    };

	    In the case where the default address is chosen, the number of
	    outstanding connect requests is set to 8 for connection-oriented
	    transports.	 The user may specify the size of the send and receive
	    buffers with the parameters sendsz and recvsz; values of 0 choose
	    suitable defaults.	This routine returns NULL if it fails, and an
	    error message is logged.  The server is not registered with the
	    rpcbind(8) service.

     svc_tp_create()
	    svc_tp_create() creates a server handle for the network specified
	    by netconf, and registers itself with the rpcbind service.
	    dispatch is called when there is a remote procedure call for the
	    given prognum and versnum; this requires calling svc_run().
	    svc_tp_create() returns the service handle if it succeeds, other‐
	    wise a NULL is returned and an error message is logged.

     svc_vc_create()
	    This routine creates a connection-oriented RPC service and returns
	    a pointer to it.  This routine returns NULL if it fails, and an
	    error message is logged.  The users may specify the size of the
	    send and receive buffers with the parameters sendsz and recvsz;
	    values of 0 choose suitable defaults.  The file descriptor fildes
	    should be open and bound.  The server is not registered with the
	    rpcbind(8) service.
