rpc_clear_binding(3ncs) 												   rpc_clear_binding(3ncs)

Name
       rpc_clear_binding - unset the binding of an RPC handle to a host and server (client only)

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

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

Arguments
       handle The RPC handle whose binding is being cleared.

       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 removes any association between an RPC handle and a particular server and host, but it does not remove the association  between
       the  handle and an object.  This routine saves the RPC handle so that it can be reused to access the same object, either by broadcasting or
       after resetting the binding to another server.

       A remote procedure call made using an unbound handle is broadcast to all Local Location Brokers (LLBs) on the local network.  If the call's
       interface  and  the  object  identified	by  the  handle are both registered with any LLB, that LLB forwards the request to the registering
       server.	The client RPC runtime library returns the first response that it  receives  and  binds  the  handle  to  the  first  server  that
       responded.

       The routine is the inverse of the routine.

Examples
       Clear the binding represented in handle:
       rpc_$clear_binding (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_set_binding(3ncs)													     rpc_set_binding(3ncs)

Name
       rpc_set_binding - bind an RPC handle to a server (client only)

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

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

Arguments
       handle		   An RPC handle.

       sockaddr 	   The socket address of the server with which the handle is being associated.

       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 sets the binding of an RPC handle to the specified server.  The handle then identifies a specific object at a specific  server.
       Any subsequent remote procedure calls that a client makes using the handle are sent to this destination.

       You  can  use  this routine either to set the binding in an unbound handle or to replace the existing binding in a fully bound or bound-to-
       host handle.

Examples
       The following statement sets the binding on the handle to the first server in the array, which was returned by a previous  Location  Broker
       lookup routine,
       rpc_$set_binding (h, &lbresults[0].saddr, lbresults[0].saddr_len,
			      &status);

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

       rpc_$cant_bind_sock The RPC runtime library created a socket but was unable to bind it to a socket address.

       rpc_$not_in_call    An internal error.

       rpc_$proto_error    An internal protocol error.
