4.  Programmer's Interface to RPC Standard Interfaces Intermediate-Level Interface Client Side of the Intermediate-Level Interface  Previous   Contents   Next 
   
 

In this example, the netconfig structure is obtained by a call to getnetconfigent(netid). See the getnetconfig(3NSL)man page and Programming Interfaces Guide for more details. At this level, the program explicitly selects the network.

To bound the time allowed for client handle creation in the previous example to 30 seconds, replace the call to clnt_tp_create() with a call to clnt_tp_create_timed() as shown in the following code segment:

 struct timeval timeout;
 timeout.tv_sec = 30; /* 30 seconds */
 timeout.tv_usec = 0;

 client = clnt_tp_create_timed(argv[1], 
				TIME_PROG, TIME_VERS, nconf,
				&timeout);

Server Side of the Intermediate-Level Interface

The following example shows the corresponding server. The command line that starts the service must specify the transport over which the service is provided.


Example 4-11 Server for Time Service, Intermediate Level

/*
 * This program supplies Greenwich mean
 * time to the client that invokes it.
 * The call format is: server netid
 */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <rpc/rpc.h>

#include <netconfig.h>    /* For netconfig structure */
#include "time_prot.h"
 
static void time_prog();
 
main(argc, argv)
	int argc;
	char *argv[];
{
	SVCXPRT *transp;
	struct netconfig *nconf;
 
	if (argc != 2) {
		fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s netid\n",
					argv[0]);
		exit(1);
	}
	if ((nconf = getnetconfigent( argv[1])) ==
					(struct netconfig *) NULL) {
		fprintf(stderr, "Could not find info on %s\n",
					argv[1]);
		exit(1);
	}
	transp = svc_tp_create(time_prog, TIME_PROG,
										TIME_VERS, nconf);
	if (transp == (SVCXPRT *) NULL) {
		fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot create 
						%s service\n", argv[0], argv[1]);
		exit(1)
	}
	freenetconfigent(nconf);
	svc_run();
}
 
	static
	void time_prog(rqstp, transp)
		struct svc_req *rqstp;
		SVCXPRT *transp;
{
/* Code identical to Top Level version */ 

Expert-Level Interface

At the expert level, network selection is done the same as at the intermediate level. The only difference is in the increased level of control that the application has over the details of the CLIENT and SVCXPRT handles. These examples illustrate this control, which is exercised using the clnt_tli_create() and svc_tli_create() routines. For more information on TLI, see Programming Interfaces Guide.

Client Side of the Expert-Level Interface

Example 4-12 shows a version of clntudp_create(), the client creation routine for UDP transport, using clnt_tli_create(). The example shows how to do network selection based on the family of the transport you choose. clnt_tli_create() is used to create a client handle and to:

  • Pass an open TLI file descriptor, which might or might not be bound

  • Pass the server's address to the client

  • Specify the send and receive buffer size


Example 4-12 Client for RPC Lower Level

#include <stdio.h>

#include <rpc/rpc.h>
#include <netconfig.h>

#include <netinet/in.h>
/*
 * In earlier implementations of RPC,
 * only TCP/IP and UDP/IP were supported.
 * This version of clntudp_create()
 * is based on TLI/Streams.
