AIX Version 4.3 Communications Technical Reference, Volume 1
DL_TEST_RES Primitive
Purpose
Conveys the test-response data link service data unit (DLSDU) from the data link service (DLS) user to the DLS provider in response to a DL_TEST_IND primitive.
Structure
The primitive consists of one M_PROTO message block, which contains the following structure, followed by zero or more M_DATA blocks containing zero or more bytes of data:
typedef struct
{
ulong dl_primitive;
ulong dl_flag;
ulong dl_dest_addr_length;
ulong dl_dest_addr_offset;
} dl_test_res_t;
Description
The DL_TEST_RES primitive conveys the test-response DLSDU from the DLS user to the DLS provider in response to a DL_TEST_IND primitive.
Note: This primitive applies to XID and test operations.
Parameters
dl_primitive |
Specifies the DL_TEST_RES primitive. |
dl_flag |
Indicates flag values for the request as follows:
DL_POLL_FINAL |
Indicates whether the poll/final bit is set. |
|
dl_dest_addr_length |
Specifies the length of the data link service access point (DLSAP) address of the destination DLS user. If the destination user is implemented using the Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI), this address is the full DLSAP address returned on the DL_BIND_ACK primitive. |
dl_dest_addr_offset |
Indicates where the destination DLSAP address begins. The value of this parameter is the offset from the beginning of the M_PROTO message block. |
States
Valid |
The primitive is valid in the DL_IDLE or DL_DATAXFER state. |
New |
The resulting state is unchanged. |
Implementation Specifics
This primitive is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
