rpc_inq_object(3ncs) rpc_inq_object(3ncs)

Name
rpc_inq_object - return the object UUID represented by an RPC handle (client or server)

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

void rpc_$inq_object(handle, object, status)
handle_t handle;
uuid_$t *object;
status_$t *status;

Arguments
handle An RPC handle.

object The UUID of the object identified by handle.

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 enables a client or server to determine the particular object that a handle represents.

If a server exports an interface through which clients can access several objects, it can use to determine the object requested in a call.
This routine requires an RPC handle as input, so the server can make the call only if the interface uses explicit handles (that is, if each
operation in the interface has a handle parameter). If the interface uses an implicit handle, the handle identifier is not passed to the
server.

Examples
A database server that manages multiple databases must determine the particular database to be accessed whenever it receives a remote pro-
cedure call. Each manager routine makes the following call; the routine then uses the returned UUID to identify the database to be
accessed:
rpc_$inq_object (handle, &db_uuid, &status);

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

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_$not_in_call An internal error.

rpc_$proto_error An internal protocol error.

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.
