rpc_free_handle(3ncs) [ultrix man page]

rpc_free_handle(3ncs)													     rpc_free_handle(3ncs)

Name
       rpc_free_handle - free an RPC handle (client only)

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/rpc.h>

       void rpc_$free_handle(handle, status)
       handle_t handle;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       handle The RPC handle to be freed.

       status The completion status.  If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it was success-
	      ful.

Description
       The routine frees an RPC handle.  This routine clears any association between the handle and  a	server	or  an	object	and  releases  the
       resources identified by the RPC handle.	The client program cannot use a handle after it is freed.

Examples
       The following statement frees a handle:
       rpc_$free_handle (handle, &status);

Diagnostics
       This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in

       rpc_$not_in_call    An internal error.

       rpc_$proto_error    An internal protocol error.

rpc_inq_binding(3ncs)													     rpc_inq_binding(3ncs)

Name
       rpc_inq_binding - return the socket address represented by an RPC handle (client or server)

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/rpc.h>

       void rpc_$inq_binding(handle, sockaddr, slength, status)
       handle_t handle;
       socket_$addr_t *sockaddr;
       unsigned long *slength;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       handle		   An RPC handle.

       sockaddr 	   The socket address represented by handle.

       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 enables a client to determine the socket address, and therefore the server, identified by an RPC handle.  It is useful  when  a
       client uses an unbound handle in a remote procedure call and wishes to determine the particular server that responded to the call.

Examples
       The Location Broker administrative tool, uses the following statement to determine the GLB that last responded to a lookup request:
       rpc_$inq_binding(lb_$handle, &global_broker_addr,
			   &global_broker_addr_len, &status);

Diagnostics
       This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in

       rpc_$not_in_call    An internal error.

       rpc_$proto_error    An internal protocol error.

       rpc_$unbound_handle The handle is not bound and does not represent a particular host address.  Returned by
