svc_register Subroutine

Syntax

#include <rpc/rpc.h>

svc_register (xprt, prognum, versnum, dispatch, protocol) SVCXPRT * xprt; u_long prognum, versnum; void (* dispatch) (); int protocol;

The svc_register subroutine maps a remote procedure with a service dispatch procedure pointed to by the dispatch parameter. If the protocol parameter has a value of 0, the service is not registered with the portmap daemon. If the protocol parameter does not have a value of 0 (or if it is IPPROTO_UDP or IPPROTO_TCP), the remote procedure triple (prognum, versnum, and protocol parameters) is mapped to the xprt->xp_port port.

The dispatch procedure takes the following form:

dispatch (request, xprt)
struct svc_req *request;
SVCXPRT *xprt;

Parameters

xprt	Points to a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service transport handle.
prognum	Specifies the program number of the remote program.
versnum	Specifies the version number of the remote program.
dispatch	Points to the service dispatch procedure.
protocol	Specifies the data transport used by the service.

Return Values

Upon successful completion, this subroutine returns a value of 1. If unsuccessful, it returns a value of 0.

Implementation Specifics

This subroutine is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
