These routines deal with the creation of service handles. Once the handle is created, 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 service object. The req argument indicates the type of opera- tion 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 re- turned. The info argument should be a pointer to an integer. Upon successful completion of the SVCGET_VERSQUIET request, *info contains an integer which describes the server's current behavior: 0 in- dicates normal server behavior (that is, an RPC_PROGVERSMISMATCH error will be returned); 1 in- dicates 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 re- turned. It is sometimes desirable to change this behavior. The info argument 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() The svc_create() function creates server handles for all the transports belonging to the class nettype. The nettype argument 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". The svc_create() function registers itself with the rpcbind ser- vice (see rpcbind(8)). The dispatch function 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() succeeds, it returns the num- ber of server handles it created, otherwise it returns 0 and an error message is logged. svc_destroy() A function macro that destroys the RPC service handle xprt. De- struction 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. The sendsz and recvsz arguments are arguments 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 de- scriptor is a connected file descriptor for a connection-ori- ented transport. The sendsz and recvsz arguments indicate sizes for the send and receive buffers. If they are 0, reasonable de- faults are chosen. 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 overheads (such as round trip times), without any kernel and networking 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. The fildes argument is the file descriptor on which the service is listening. 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 not 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 inter- face, 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 re- ceive buffers with the arguments 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 regis- tered with the rpcbind(8) service. svc_tp_create() The svc_tp_create() function creates a server handle for the network specified by netconf, and registers itself with the rpcbind service. The dispatch function is called when there is a remote procedure call for the given prognum and versnum; this requires calling svc_run(). The svc_tp_create() function re- turns the service handle if it succeeds, otherwise a NULL is re- turned and an error message is logged. svc_vc_create() This routine creates a connection-oriented RPC service and re- turns 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 arguments sendsz and recvsz; values of 0 choose suitable defaults. The file descrip- tor fildes should be open and bound. The server is not regis- tered with the rpcbind(8) service. SEE ALSO rpc(3), rpc_svc_calls(3), rpc_svc_err(3), rpc_svc_reg(3), rpcbind(8) FreeBSD 8.0 May 3, 1993 RPC_SVC_CREATE(3)
