rpc_sockaddr_to_name(3ncs)												rpc_sockaddr_to_name(3ncs)

Name
       rpc_sockaddr_to_name - convert a socket address to a host name and port number (client or server)

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

       void rpc_$sockaddr_to_name(sockaddr, slength, name, nlength,				    port, status)
       socket_$addr_t *sockaddr;
       unsigned long slength;
       unsigned char name;
       unsigned long *nlength;
       unsigned long *port;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       sockaddr 	   A socket address.

       slength		   The length, in bytes, of sockaddr.

       name		   A string that contains the host name and the address family.  The format is family:host [port] where family is ip.

       nlength		   On  input,  nlength	is  the length of the name buffer.  On output, nlength is the number of characters returned in the
			   name parameter.

       port		   The socket port number.

       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 provides the address family, the host name, and the port number identified by the specified socket address.

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.	This routine has been superseded by the routine.

rpc_use_family(3ncs)													      rpc_use_family(3ncs)

Name
       rpc_use_family - create a socket of a specified address family for a remote procedure call (RPC) server (server only)

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

       void rpc_$use_family(family, sockaddr, slength, status)
       unsigned long family;
       socket_$addr_t *sockaddr;
       unsigned long *slength;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       family	      The address family of the socket to be created.  The value must be one of socket_$internet or socket_$unspec.

       sockaddr       The socket address of the socket on which the server will listen.

       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 creates a socket for a server without specifying its port number.  The RPC runtime software assigns a port number.  If a server
       must listen on a particular well-known port, use to create the socket.

       A  server listens on one socket per address family, regardless of how many interfaces that it exports.  Therefore, servers should make this
       call once per supported address family.

Examples
       The following statement creates a server's socket:
       rpc_$use_family (family, &saddr, &slen, &status);

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

       rpc_$cant_create_sock
			   The RPC runtime library was unable to create a socket.

       rpc_$not_in_call    An internal error.

       rpc_$proto_error    An internal protocol error.

       rpc_$too_many_sockets
			   The server is trying to use more than the maximum number of sockets that is allowed; it has called or too many times.

       rpc_$addr_in_use    The address and port specified in an routine are already in use.  This is caused by multiple calls  to  with  the  same
			   well-known port.
