socket_equal(3ncs)														socket_equal(3ncs)

Name
       socket_equal - compare two socket addresses

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

       boolean socket_$equal(sockaddr1, s1length, sockaddr2, s2length, flags,			      status)
       socket_$addr_t *sockaddr1;
       unsigned long s1length;
       socket_$addr_t *sockaddr2;
       unsigned long s2length;
       unsigned long flags;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       sockaddr1	   A socket address.  The socket address is the structure returned by either or

       s1length 	   The length, in bytes, of sockaddr1.

       sockaddr2	   A socket address.  The socket address is the structure returned by either or

       s2length 	   The length, in bytes, of sockaddr2.

       flags		   The logical OR of values selected from the following:

			   socket_$eq_hostid   Indicates that the host IDs are to be compared.

			   socket_$eq_netaddr  Indicates that the network addresses are to be compared.

			   socket_$eq_port     Indicates that the port numbers are to be compared.

			   socket_$eq_network  Indicates that the network IDs are to be compared.

       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 compares two socket addresses.  The flags parameter determines which fields of the socket addresses	are  compared.	 The  call
       returns `true' (not zero) if all of the fields compared are equal, `false' (zero) if not.

Examples
       The following routine compares the network and host IDs in the socket addresses sockaddr1 and sockaddr2:
       if (socket_$equal (&sockaddr1, s1length, &sockaddr2, s2length,
	       socket_$eq_network | socket_$eq_hostid, &status))
       printf ("sockaddrs have equal network and host IDs
");

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.
