NAME

t_rcvconnect() — receive the confirmation from a connect request

SYNOPSIS

#include <xti.h> /* for X/OPEN Transport Interface - XTI */ /* or */ #include <tiuser.h> /* for Transport Layer Interface - TLI */ int t_rcvconnect (fd, call); int fd; struct t_call *call;

DESCRIPTION

The t_rcvconnect() function enables a calling transport user to determine the status of a previously sent connect request. t_rcvconnect() is also used in conjunction with t_connect() to establish a connection in asynchronous mode. The connection will be established on successful completion of this function.

fd identifies the local transport endpoint where communication will be established. call contains information associated with the newly established connection. call points to a t_call structure which contains the following members:

struct netbuf addr; struct netbuf opt; struct netbuf udata; int sequence;

The type netbuf structure is defined in the <xti.h> or <tiuser.h> header file. This structure, which is used to define buffer parameters, has the following members:

unsigned int maxlen

maximum byte length of the data buffer

unsigned int len

actual byte length of data written to buffer

char *buf

points to buffer location

In call, addr returns the protocol address associated with the responding transport endpoint. opt presents any protocol-specific information associated with the connection. For XTI over the OSI transport provider, struct isoco_options should be used. For TLI, see the documentation for the transport provider being used. udata points to optional user data that may be returned by the destination transport user during connection establishment. sequence has no meaning for this function.

The maxlen field of each argument must be set before issuing this function to indicate the maximum size of the buffer for each. However, call may be a null pointer, in which case no information is given to the user on return from t_rcvconnect(). By default, t_rcvconnect() executes in synchronous mode and waits for the connection to be established before returning. On return, the addr, opt, and udata fields reflect values associated with the connection.

If O_NONBLOCK is set (via t_open() or fcntl()), t_rcvconnect() executes in asynchronous mode, and reduces to a poll for existing connect confirmations. If none are available, t_rcvconnect() fails and returns immediately without waiting for the connection to be established. (See [TNODATA] below.) t_rcvconnect() must be re-issued at a later time to complete the connection establishment phase and retrieve the information returned in call.

Valid States

T_OUTCON

Fork Safety

t_rcvconnect is not fork-safe.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and t_errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

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

[TBADF]

The specified identifier does not refer to a transport endpoint.

[TBUFOVFLW]

The number of bytes allocated for an incoming argument is not sufficient to store the value of that argument and the connect information to be returned in call will be discarded. The provider's state, as seen by the user, will be changed to T_DATAXFER.

[TNODATA]

O_NONBLOCK was set, but a connect confirmation has not yet arrived.

[TLOOK]

An asynchronous event has occurred on this transport endpoint and requires immediate attention.

[TNOTSUPPORT]

This function is not supported by the underlying transport provider.

[TOUTSTATE]

This function was issued in the wrong sequence on the transport endpoint referenced by fd.

[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 existing XTI (t_errno).
