 NAME

   rpc_server_use_protseq - Tells the RPC runtime to use the specified
                            protocol sequence for receiving remote
                            procedure calls

   Used by server applications.

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <dce/rpc.h>

   void rpc_server_use_protseq( unsigned_char_t *protseq,
                                unsigned32 max_call_requests,
                                unsigned32 *status );

 PARAMETERS

   Input

   protseq
       Specifies a string identifier for the protocol sequence to register
       with the RPC runtime.  (For a list of string identifiers, see the
       table of valid protocol sequences in the rpc_intro(3rpc) reference
       page.)

   max_call_requests
       Specifies the maximum number of concurrent remote procedure call
       requests that the server can accept.

       The RPC runtime guarantees that the server can accept at least this
       number of concurrent call requests.  The actual number of these
       requests can be greater than the value of max_call_requests and can
       vary for each protocol sequence.

       Use the value rpc_c_protseq_max_reqs_default to specify the default
       parameter value.

       Note that in this version of DCE RPC, any number you specify is
       replaced by the default value.

       Also, rpc_server_listen() limits (according to its max_calls_exec
       parameter) the amount of concurrent remote procedure call execution.
       See the rpc_server_listen reference page for more information.

   Output

   status
       Returns the status code from this routine.  This status code
       indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not,
       why not.  The possible status codes and their meanings are as
       follows:

       rpc_s_ok     Success.

       rpc_s_cant_create_socket
                    Cannot create socket.

       rpc_s_invalid_rpc_protseq
                    Invalid protocol sequence.

       rpc_s_max_descs_exceeded
                    Exceeded maximum number of network descriptors.

       rpc_s_protseq_not_supported
                    Protocol sequence not supported on this host.

 DESCRIPTION

   The rpc_server_use_protseq() routine registers a single protocol
   sequence with the RPC runtime.  A server must register at least one
   protocol sequence with the RPC runtime to receive remote procedure
   call requests.  A server can call this routine multiple times to
   register additional protocol sequences.

   For each protocol sequence registered by a server, the RPC runtime
   creates one or more binding handles.  Each binding handle contains a
   dynamic endpoint that the RPC runtime and operating system generated.

   The max_call_requests parameter allows you to specify the maximum
   number of concurrent remote procedure call requests the server handles.

   A server calls rpc_server_use_all_protseqs() to register all protocol
   sequences.

   The explanation of the rpc_server_use_all_protseqs() routine contains
   a list of the routines a server typically calls after calling this
   routine.  For an explanation of how a server can establish a
   client/server relationship without using the local endpoint map or
   the name service database, see the information on string bindings in
   the rpc_intro reference page.

 RETURN VALUES

   No value is returned.
