rpc_register(3ncs)														rpc_register(3ncs)

Name
       rpc_register - register an interface (server only)

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

       void rpc_$register(ifspec, epv, status)
       rpc_$if_spec_t *ifspec;
       rpc_$epv_t epv;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       ifspec		   The interface being registered.

       epv		   The entry point vector (EPV) for the operations in the interface.  The EPV is always defined in the server stub that is
			   generated by the NIDL compiler from an interface definition.

       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  registers	an  interface  with  the RPC runtime library.  After an interface is registered, the RPC runtime library will pass
       requests for that interface to the server.

       You can call several times with the same interface (for example, from various subroutines of the same server), but each call  must  specify
       the  same  EPV.	Each registration increments a reference count for the registered interface; an equal number of routines are then required
       to unregister the interface.

Examples
       The following statement registers the bank interface with the bank server host's RPC runtime library:
       rpc_$register (&bank_$if_spec, bank_$server_epv, &status);

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

       rpc_$op_rng_error   The requested operation does not correspond to a valid operation in the requested interface.

       rpc_$too_many_ifs   The maximum number of interfaces is already registered with the RPC runtime library; the server  must  unregister  some
			   interface before it registers an additional interface.

       rpc_$not_in_call    An internal error.

       rpc_$you_crashed    This error can occur if a server has crashed and restarted.	A client RPC runtime library sends the error to the server
			   if the client makes a remote procedure call before the server crashes,  then  receives  a  response	after  the  server
			   restarts.

       rpc_$proto_error    An internal protocol error.

       rpc_$illegal_register
			   You are trying to register an interface that is already registered and you are using an EPV different from the one used
			   when the interface was first registered.  An interface can be multiply registered, but you must use	the  same  EPV	in
			   each routine.

       rpc_$bad_pkt	   The server or client has received an ill-formed packet.

Name
       rpc_use_family_wk - create a socket with a well-known port for a remote procedure call (RPC) server (server only)

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

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

Arguments
       family	      The  address  family  of the socket to be created.  This value corresponds to the communications protocol used to access the
		      socket and determines how the sockaddr is expressed.  The value must be one of socket_$unspec or socket_$internet.

       ifspec	      The interface that will be registered by the server.  Typically, this parameter is the interface if_spec	generated  by  the
		      NIDL compiler from the interface definition; the well-known port is specified as an interface attribute.

       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 that uses the port specified through the if_spec parameter.  Use this routine to create a  socket  only  if  a
       server must listen on a particular well-known port.  Otherwise, use

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

Examples
       The following statement creates the well-known socket identified by for an array processor server:
       rpc_$use_family_wk (socket_$internet, &matrix$if_spec,
			      &sockaddr, &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_$bad_pkt	   The server or client has received an ill-formed packet.

       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.
