TERM_ATTACH_MEM(3)	    libdill Library Functions	      TERM_ATTACH_MEM(3)

NAME
     term_attach_mem - creates TERM protocol on top of underlying socket

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <libdill.h>

	    int term_attach_mem(
		int s,
		const void* buf,
		size_t len,
		struct term_storage* mem,
		int64_t deadline);

DESCRIPTION
     TERM  is a protocol that implements clean terminal handshake between peers.
     When creating the protocol instance user specifies the terminal message  to
     use.   When  closing  the protocol, terminal messages are exchanged between
     peers in both directions.	After the protocol shuts down the peers agree on
     their position in the message stream.

     This function instantiates TERM protocol on top of the underlying protocol.

     This function allows to avoid one dynamic memory allocation by storing  the
     object  in  user-supplied	memory.   Unless  you  are  hyper-optimizing use
     term_attach instead.

     s: Handle of the underlying socket.  It must be a message protocol.

     buf: The terminal message.

     len: Size of the terminal message, in bytes.

     mem: The structure to store the newly created object in.  It  must  not  be
     deallocated before the object is closed.

     deadline:	A point in time when the operation should time out, in millisec-
     onds.  Use the now function to get your current point in time.  0 means im-
     mediate timeout, i.e., perform the operation if possible or return  without
     blocking  if  not.  -1 means no deadline, i.e., the call will block forever
     if the operation cannot be performed.

     The socket can be cleanly shut down using term_detach function.

     This function is not available if libdill is compiled with  --disable-sock-
     ets option.

RETURN VALUE
     In  case  of  success the function returns newly created socket handle.  In
     case of error it returns -1 and sets errno to one of the values below.

ERRORS
     * EBADF: Invalid handle.

     * ECANCELED: Current coroutine was canceled.

     * EMFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the process are already
       open.

     * ENFILE: The maximum number of file descriptors in the system are  already
       open.

     * ENOMEM: Not enough memory.

     * ENOTSUP: The handle does not support this operation.

     * EPROTO: Underlying socket is not a message socket.

     * ETIMEDOUT: Deadline was reached.

EXAMPLE
	    s = term_attach(s, "STOP", 4);
	    ...
	    /* Send terminal message to the peer. */
	    term_done(s, -1);
	    /* Process remaining inbound messages. */
	    while(1) {
		char buf[256];
		ssize_t sz = mrecv(s, buf, sizeof(buf), -1);
		/* Check whether terminal message was received from the peer. */
		if(sz < 0 && errno == EPIPE) break;
		frobnicate(buff, sz);
	    }
	    s = term_detach(s);
