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	This routine has been superseded by the routine.

socket_from_name(3ncs)													    socket_from_name(3ncs)

Name
       socket_from_name - convert a name and port number to a socket address

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

       void socket_$from_name(family, name, nlength, port, sockaddr, slength,				status)
       unsigned long family;
       socket_$string_t name;
       unsigned long nlength;
       unsigned long port;
       socket_$addr_t *sockaddr;
       unsigned long *slength;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       family The  integer  representation  of	an  address  family.   Value  can be socket_$internet or socket_$unspec If the family parameter is
	      socket_$unspec, then the name parameter is scanned for a prefix of family: (for example, ip:).

       name   A string in the format family:host[port], where family:, host, and [port] are all optional.  The family is an address  family.   The
	      only  valid  family  is  ip.   If  you specify a family as part of the name parameter, you must specify socket_$unspec in the family
	      parameter.  The host is a host name.  A leading number sign (#) can be used to indicate that  the  host  name  is  in  the  standard
	      numeric  form (for example, #192.9.8.7).	If host is omitted, the local host name is used.  The port is a port number.  If you spec-
	      ify a port as part of the name parameter, the port parameter is ignored.

       nlength
	      The length, in bytes, of name.

       port   A port number.  If you specify a port number in the name parameter, this parameter is ignored.

       sockaddr
	      A socket address.

       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  success-
	      ful.

Description
       The  routine converts a textual address family, host name, and port number to a socket address.	The address family and the port number can
       be either specified as separate parameters or included in the name parameter.
