rpc_register(3ncs)														rpc_register(3ncs)

Name
       rpc_register - register an interface (server only)

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

       void rpc_$register(ifspec, epv, status)
       rpc_$if_spec_t *ifspec;
       rpc_$epv_t epv;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       ifspec		   The interface being registered.

       epv		   The entry point vector (EPV) for the operations in the interface.  The EPV is always defined in the server stub that is
			   generated by the NIDL compiler from an interface definition.

       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  registers	an  interface  with  the RPC runtime library.  After an interface is registered, the RPC runtime library will pass
       requests for that interface to the server.

       You can call several times with the same interface (for example, from various subroutines of the same server), but each call  must  specify
       the  same  EPV.	Each registration increments a reference count for the registered interface; an equal number of routines are then required
       to unregister the interface.

Examples
       The following statement registers the bank interface with the bank server host's RPC runtime library:
       rpc_$register (&bank_$if_spec, bank_$server_epv, &status);

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

       rpc_$op_rng_error   The requested operation does not correspond to a valid operation in the requested interface.

       rpc_$too_many_ifs   The maximum number of interfaces is already registered with the RPC runtime library; the server  must  unregister  some
			   interface before it registers an additional interface.

       rpc_$not_in_call    An internal error.

       rpc_$you_crashed    This error can occur if a server has crashed and restarted.	A client RPC runtime library sends the error to the server
			   if the client makes a remote procedure call before the server crashes,  then  receives  a  response	after  the  server
			   restarts.

       rpc_$proto_error    An internal protocol error.

       rpc_$illegal_register
			   You are trying to register an interface that is already registered and you are using an EPV different from the one used
			   when the interface was first registered.  An interface can be multiply registered, but you must use	the  same  EPV	in
			   each routine.

       rpc_$bad_pkt	   The server or client has received an ill-formed packet.

Name
       rpc_register_mgr - register a manager (server only)

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

       void rpc_$register_mgr(type, ifspec, sepv, mepv, status)
       uuid_$t *type;
       rpc_$if_spec_t *ifspec;
       rpc_$generic_epv_t sepv;
       rpc_$mgr_epv_t mepv;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       type		   The UUID of the type being registered.

       ifspec		   The interface being registered.

       sepv		   The generic EPV, a vector of pointers to server stub procedures.

       mepv		   The manager EPV, a vector of pointers to manager procedures.

       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 registers the set of manager procedures that implement a specified interface for a specified type.

       Servers can invoke this routine several times with the same interface (ifspec) and generic EPV (sepv) but  with	a  different  object  type
       (type) and manager EPV (mepv) on each invocation.  This technique allows a server to export several implementations of the same interface.

       Servers	that  export several versions of the same interface (but not different implementations for different types) must also use not Such
       servers should supply uuid_$nil as the type to

       If a server uses to register a manager for a specific interface and a specific type that is not nil, the server must  use  to  register	an
       object.

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

       rpc_$op_rng_error   The requested operation does not correspond to a valid operation in the requested interface.

       rpc_$unk_if	   The	requested interface is not known.  It is not registered in the server, the version number of the registered inter-
			   face is different from the version number specified in the request, or the UUID in the request does not match the  UUID
			   of the registered interface.

       rpc_$too_many_ifs   The	maximum  number  of interfaces is already registered with the RPC runtime library; the server must unregister some
			   interface before it registers an additional interface.

       rpc_$not_in_call    An internal error.

       rpc_$you_crashed    This error can occur if a server has crashed and restarted.	A client RPC runtime library sends the error to the server
			   if  the  client  makes  a  remote  procedure  call before the server crashes, then receives a response after the server
			   restarts.

       rpc_$proto_error    An internal protocol error.

       rpc_$illegal_register
			   You are trying to register an interface that is already registered and you are using an EPV different from the one used
			   when  the  interface  was  first registered.  An interface can be multiply registered, but you must use the same EPV in
			   each routine.
