DESCRIPTION
RPC library routines allow C language programs to make procedure calls
on other machines across the network. First, the client calls a proce‐
dure to send a request to the server. Upon receipt of the request, the
server calls a dispatch routine to perform the requested service and
then sends back a reply.
The clnt_call(), rpc_call(), and rpc_broadcast() routines handle the
client side of the procedure call. The remaining routines deal with
error handling.
Some of the routines take a CLIENT handle as one of the parameters. A
CLIENT handle can be created by an RPC creation routine such as
clnt_create(). See rpc_clnt_create(3C).
These routines are safe for use in multithreaded applications. CLIENT
handles can be shared between threads; however, in this implementation
requests by different threads are serialized. In other words, the first
request will receive its results before the second request is sent.
Routines
See rpc(3C) for the definition of the CLIENT data structure.
clnt_call() A function macro that calls the remote procedure
procnum associated with the client handle, clnt,
which is obtained with an RPC client creation rou‐
tine such as clnt_create(). See rpc_clnt_cre‐
ate(3C). The parameter inproc is the XDR function
used to encode the procedure's parameters, and
outproc is the XDR function used to decode the
procedure's results. in is the address of the pro‐
cedure's argument(s), and out is the address of
where to place the result(s). tout is the time
allowed for results to be returned, which is over‐
ridden by a time-out set explicitly through
clnt_control(). See rpc_clnt_create(3C).
If the remote call succeeds, the status returned
is RPC_SUCCESS. Otherwise, an appropriate status
is returned.
clnt_send() Use the clnt_send() function to call a remote
asynchronous function.
The clnt_send() function calls the remote function
procnum() associated with the client handle, clnt,
which is obtained with an RPC client creation rou‐
tine such as clnt_create(). See rpc_clnt_cre‐
ate(3C). The parameter proc is the XDR function
used to encode the procedure's parameters. The
parameter in is the address of the procedure's
argument(s).
By default, the blocking I/O mode is used. See the
clnt_control(3C) man page for more information on
I/O modes.
The clnt_send() function does not check if the
program version number supplied to clnt_create()
is registered with the rpcbind service. Use
clnt_create_vers() instead of clnt_create() to
check on incorrect version number registration.
clnt_create_vers() will return a valid handle to
the client only if a version within the range sup‐
plied to clnt_create_vers() is supported by the
server.
RPC_SUCCESS is returned when a request is success‐
fully delivered to the transport layer. This does
not mean that the request was received. If an
error is returned, use the clnt_getterr() routine
to find the failure status or the clnt_perrno()
routine to translate the failure status into error
messages.
clnt_freeres() A function macro that frees any data allocated by
the RPC/XDR system when it decoded the results of
an RPC call. The parameter out is the address of
the results, and outproc is the XDR routine
describing the results. This routine returns 1 if
the results were successfully freed; otherwise it
returns 0.
clnt_geterr() A function macro that copies the error structure
out of the client handle to the structure at
address errp.
clnt_perrno() Prints a message to standard error corresponding
to the condition indicated by stat. A newline is
appended. It is normally used after a procedure
call fails for a routine for which a client handle
is not needed, for instance rpc_call()
clnt_perror() Prints a message to the standard error indicating
why an RPC call failed; clnt is the handle used to
do the call. The message is prepended with string
s and a colon. A newline is appended. This routine
is normally used after a remote procedure call
fails for a routine that requires a client handle,
for instance clnt_call().
clnt_sperrno() Takes the same arguments as clnt_perrno(), but
instead of sending a message to the standard error
indicating why an RPC call failed, returns a
pointer to a string that contains the message.
clnt_sperrno() is normally used instead of
clnt_perrno() when the program does not have a
standard error, as a program running as a server
quite likely does not. clnt_sperrno() is also used
if the programmer does not want the message to be
output with printf(), or if a message format dif‐
ferent than that supported by clnt_perrno() is to
be used. See printf(3C). Unlike clnt_sperror() and
clnt_spcreaterror(), clnt_sperrno() does not
return a pointer to static data. Therefore, the
result is not overwritten on each call. See
rpc_clnt_create(3C).
clnt_sperror() Similar to clnt_perror(), except that like
clnt_sperrno(), it returns a string instead of
printing to standard error. However, clnt_sper‐
ror() does not append a newline at the end of the
message.
clnt_sperror() returns a pointer to a buffer that
is overwritten on each call. In multithreaded
applications, this buffer is implemented as
thread-specific data.
rpc_broadcast() Similar to rpc_call(), except that the call mes‐
sage is broadcast to all the connectionless trans‐
ports specified by nettype. If nettype is NULL, it
defaults to netpath. Each time it receives a
response, this routine calls eachresult(), whose
form is:
bool_t eachresult(caddr_t out, const struct netbuf *addr,
const struct netconfig *netconf);
where out is the same as out passed to rpc_broad‐
cast(), except that the remote procedure's output
is decoded there. addr points to the address of
the machine that sent the results, and netconf is
the netconfig structure of the transport on which
the remote server responded. If eachresult()
returns 0, rpc_broadcast() waits for more replies;
otherwise, it returns with appropriate status.
The broadcast file descriptors are limited in size
to the maximum transfer size of that transport.
For Ethernet, this value is 1500 bytes. rpc_broad‐
cast() uses AUTH_SYS credentials by default. See
rpc_clnt_auth(3C).
rpc_broadcast_exp() Similar to rpc_broadcast(), except that the ini‐
tial timeout, inittime and the maximum timeout,
waittime, are specified in milliseconds.
inittime is the initial time that rpc_broad‐
cast_exp() waits before resending the request.
After the first resend, the retransmission inter‐
val increases exponentially until it exceeds wait‐
time.
rpc_call() Calls the remote procedure associated with
prognum, versnum, and procnum on the machine,
host. The parameter inproc is used to encode the
procedure's parameters, and outproc is used to
decode the procedure's results. in is the address
of the procedure's argument(s), and out is the
address of where to place the result(s). nettype
can be any of the values listed on rpc(3C). This
routine returns RPC_SUCCESS if it succeeds, or it
returns an appropriate status. Use the clnt_per‐
rno() routine to translate failure status into
error messages.
The rpc_call() function uses the first available
transport belonging to the class nettype on which
it can create a connection. You do not have con‐
trol of timeouts or authentication using this rou‐
tine.
