I am using bash and resetting IFS as below when reading the command line arguments. I do this so I can call my script as in Ex1.
Ex1: ./synt2d-ray3dmod.bash --xsrc=12/20/30
This allows me to split both sides so that when I do "shift"
I can get 12/20/30

rrpc_inq_interfaces
rrpc_inq_interfaces(3ncs) rrpc_inq_interfaces(3ncs)
Name
rrpc_inq_interfaces - obtain a list of the interfaces that a server exports
Syntax
#include <idl/c/rrpc.h>
void rrpc_$inq_interfaces(handle, max_ifs, ifs, l_if, status)
handle_t handle;
unsigned long max_ifs;
rrpc_$interface_vec_t ifs[];
unsigned long *l_if;
status_$t *status;
Arguments
handle An RPC handle.
max_ifs The maximum number of elements in the array of interface specifiers.
ifs An array of rpc_$if_spec_t.
l_if The index of the last element in the returned array.
status The completion status. If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it was
successful.
Description
The routine returns an array of RPC interface specifiers.
Restrictions
On the client side, because of the way the calls are defined and implemented in the run-time library you must explicitly call into the
entry point vector table for the interface to send an request across the network. The following is an example of a call that works
(*rrpc_$client_epv.rrpc_$inq_interfaces)(handle,
(unsigned long) max_ifs, ifs, &l_if, &status);
The server side stub routines call the entry point on behalf of the client. The results of the call are then passed back to the client.
