Sh DESCRIPTION
These routines are a part of the RPC
library which allows the RPC
servers to register themselves with rpcbind
(see
Xr rpcbind 8 ) ,
and associate the given program and version
number with the dispatch function.
When the RPC server receives a RPC request, the library invokes the
dispatch routine with the appropriate arguments.
Sh ROUTINES
See
Xr rpc 3
for the definition of the
Vt SVCXPRT
data structure.
Pp
Bl -tag -width XXXXX
It Fn rpc_reg
Register program
Fa prognum ,
procedure
Fa procname ,
and version
Fa versnum
with the RPC
service package.
If a request arrives for program
Fa prognum ,
version
Fa versnum ,
and procedure
Fa procnum ,
Fa procname
is called with a pointer to its parameter(s);
Fa procname
should return a pointer to its static result(s);
Fa inproc
is the XDR function used to decode the parameters while
Fa outproc
is the XDR function used to encode the results.
Procedures are registered on all available transports of the class
Fa nettype .
See
Xr rpc 3 .
This routine returns 0 if the registration succeeded,
-1 otherwise.
Pp
It Fn svc_reg
Associates
Fa prognum
and
Fa versnum
with the service dispatch procedure,
Fa dispatch .
If
Fa netconf
is
Dv NULL ,
the service is not registered with the
Xr rpcbind 8
service.
If
Fa netconf
is non-zero,
then a mapping of the triple
[
Fa prognum ,
Fa versnum ,
Fa netconf->nc_netid ]
to
Fa xprt->xp_ltaddr
is established with the local rpcbind
service.
Pp
The
Fn svc_reg
routine returns 1 if it succeeds,
and 0 otherwise.
Pp
It Fn svc_unreg
Remove from the rpcbind
service, all mappings of the triple
[
Fa prognum ,
Fa versnum ,
all-transports ]
to network address
and all mappings within the RPC service package
of the double
[
Fa prognum ,
Fa versnum ]
to dispatch routines.
Pp
It Fn svc_auth_reg
Registers the service authentication routine
Fa handler
with the dispatch mechanism so that it can be
invoked to authenticate RPC requests received
with authentication type
Fa cred_flavor .
This interface allows developers to add new authentication
types to their RPC applications without needing to modify
the libraries.
Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
Pp
Typical service application would call
Fn svc_auth_reg
after registering the service and prior to calling
Fn svc_run .
When needed to process an RPC credential of type
Fa cred_flavor ,
the
Fa handler
procedure will be called with two parameters
Fa "struct svc_req *rqst" ,
and
Fa "struct rpc_msg * msg" ,
and is expected to return a valid
Vt "enum auth_stat"
value.
There is no provision to change or delete an authentication handler
once registered.
Pp
The
Fn svc_auth_reg
routine returns 0 if the registration is successful,
1 if
Fa cred_flavor
already has an authentication handler registered for it,
and -1 otherwise.
Pp
It Fn xprt_register
After RPC service transport handle
Fa xprt
is created, it is registered with the RPC
service package.
This routine modifies the global variable
Va svc_fdset
(see
Xr rpc_svc_calls 3 ) .
Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
Pp
It Fn xprt_unregister
Before an RPC service transport handle
Fa xprt
is destroyed, it unregisters itself with the
RPC service package.
This routine modifies the global variable
Va svc_fdset
(see
Xr rpc_svc_calls 3 ) .
Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
