t_look(3xti)															      t_look(3xti)

Name
       t_look - look at the current event on a transport endpoint

Syntax
       #include <xti.h>

       int t_look(fd)
       int fd;

Arguments
       fd	 Identifies the transport endpoint where the current event is returned.

Description
       This  function  returns the current event on the transport endpoint specified by fd. This function enables a transport provider to notify a
       transport user of an asynchronous event when the user is issuing functions in synchronous mode. Certain events require immediate  notifica-
       tion of the user and are indicated by a specific error, [TLOOK], on the current or next function to be executed.

       This function also enables a transport user to poll a transport endpoint periodically for asynchronous events.

       --------------------------------------

Return Values
       Upon  successful  completion, returns a value that indicates which of the allowable events has occurred or returns zero if no event exists.
       One of the following events is returned:

		 T_LISTEN	   Connection indication received

		 T_CONNECT	   Connect confirmation received

		 T_DATA 	   Normal data received

		 T_EXDATA	   Expedited data received

		 T_DISCONNECT	   Disconnect received

		 T_UDERR	   Datagram error indication

		 T_ORDREL	   Orderly release indication

		 T_GODATA	   Flow control restrictions on normal data flow have been lifted. Normal data can be sent again.

		 T_GOEXDATA	   Flow control restrictions on expedited data flow have been lifted. Expedited data can be sent again.

       On failure, -1 is returned, and t_errno is set to indicate the error.

Diagnostics
       On failure, t_errno  is set to one of the following:

       [TBADF]		   The specified file descriptor does not refer to a transport endpoint.

       [TSYSERR]	   A system error has occurred during execution of this function.

NAME
t_look() - look at the current event on a transport endpoint SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The function returns the current event on the transport endpoint specified by fd. This function enables a transport provider to notify a transport user of an asynchronous event when the user is calling functions in synchronous mode. Certain events require immediate notifica- tion of the user and are indicated by a specific error, [TLOOK], on the current or next function to be executed. This function also enables a transport user to poll a transport endpoint periodically for asynchronous events. Valid States All - apart from XTI Internet Protocol-specific Information As soon as a segment with the TCP urgent pointer set enters the TCP receive buffer, the event is indicated. remains set until all data up to the byte pointed to by the TCP urgent pointer has been received. If the urgent pointer is updated, and the user has not yet received the byte previously pointed to by the urgent pointer, the update is transparent to the user. Fork Safety is not fork-safe. RETURN VALUE
Upon success, returns a value that indicates which of the following allowable events has occurred, or returns zero if no event exists. One of the following events is returned: T_LISTEN connection indication received. T_CONNECT connect confirmation received. T_DATA normal data received. T_ERROR (TLI ONLY) fatal error occurred. T_EXDATA expedited data received. T_DISCONNECT disconnect received. T_UDERR datagram error indication. T_ORDREL orderly release indication. T_GODATA (XTI only) flow control restrictions on normal data flow have been lifted. Normal data may be sent again. T_GOEXDATA (XTI only) flow control restrictions on expedited data flow have been lifted. Expedited data may be sent again. ERRORS
On failure, is set to one of the following: [TBADF] The specified identifier does not refer to a transport endpoint. [TSYSERR] A system error has occurred during execution of this function. [TPROTO] (XTI only) This error indicates that a communication problem has been detected between XTI and the transport provider for which there is no suitable XTI ( SEE ALSO
