Starts listening for incoming calls.
X.25 Communications Library (libx25s.a)
int x25_listen(name, ctr_id) NLchar *name; int ctr_id;
The x25_listen subroutine starts listening for incoming calls that fit the criteria in the routing list entry with the specified name parameter. It also tells the API to associate the calls with the counter identifier specified. It returns a listen identifier to be used by the x25_receive subroutine.
| name | Contains a pointer to a name that is specified in the routing list. |
| ctr_id | Identifies a counter, allocated by a previous x25_ctr_get subroutine. |
If successful, the x25_listen subroutine returns the listen identifier. If an error occurs, the x25_listen subroutine returns a value of -1 and sets the x25_errno global variable global variable to one of the error codes shown below.
On failure, the x25_errno global variable is set to one of the following:
