rpc_svc_reg(3)

NAME

     rpc_svc_reg, rpc_reg, svc_reg, svc_unreg, svc_auth_reg, xprt_register,
     xprt_unregister -- library routines for registering servers


LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <rpc/rpc.h>

     int
     rpc_reg(rpcprog_t prognum, rpcvers_t versnum, rpcproc_t procnum,
	 char *(*procname)(), xdrproc_t inproc, xdrproc_t outproc,
	 char *nettype);

     bool_t
     svc_reg(SVCXPRT *xprt, const rpcprog_t prognum, const rpcvers_t versnum,
	 void (*dispatch)(struct svc_req *, SVCXPRT *),
	 const struct netconfig *netconf);

     void
     svc_unreg(const rpcprog_t prognum, const rpcvers_t versnum);

     int
     svc_auth_reg(int cred_flavor,
	 enum auth_stat (*handler)(struct svc_req *, struct rpc_msg *));

     void
     xprt_register(SVCXPRT *xprt);

     void
     xprt_unregister(SVCXPRT *xprt);


DESCRIPTION

     These routines are a part of the RPC library which allows the RPC servers
     to register themselves with rpcbind (see 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 rou-
     tine with the appropriate arguments.


Routines

     See rpc(3) for the definition of the SVCXPRT data structure.

     rpc_reg()
	    Register program prognum, procedure procname, and version versnum
	    with the RPC service package.  If a request arrives for program
	    prognum, version versnum, and procedure procnum, procname is
	    called with a pointer to its argument(s); procname should return a
	    pointer to its static result(s); inproc is the XDR function used
	    to decode the arguments while outproc is the XDR function used to
	    encode the results.  Procedures are registered on all available
	    transports of the class nettype.  See rpc(3).  This routine
	    returns 0 if the registration succeeded, -1 otherwise.

     svc_reg()
	    Associates prognum and versnum with the service dispatch proce-
	    dure, dispatch.  If netconf is NULL, the service is not registered
	    [prognum, versnum, all-transports] to network address and all map-
	    pings within the RPC service package of the double [prognum,
	    versnum] to dispatch routines.

     svc_auth_reg()
	    Registers the service authentication routine handler with the dis-
	    patch mechanism so that it can be invoked to authenticate RPC
	    requests received with authentication type 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.

	    Typical service application would call svc_auth_reg() after regis-
	    tering the service and prior to calling svc_run().	When needed to
	    process an RPC credential of type cred_flavor, the handler proce-
	    dure will be called with two arguments, struct svc_req *rqst and
	    struct rpc_msg *msg, and is expected to return a valid enum
	    auth_stat value.  There is no provision to change or delete an
	    authentication handler once registered.

	    The svc_auth_reg() routine returns 0 if the registration is suc-
	    cessful, 1 if cred_flavor already has an authentication handler
	    registered for it, and -1 otherwise.

     xprt_register()
	    After RPC service transport handle xprt is created, it is regis-
	    tered with the RPC service package.  This routine modifies the
	    global variable svc_fdset (see rpc_svc_calls(3)).  Service imple-
	    mentors usually do not need this routine.

     xprt_unregister()
	    Before an RPC service transport handle xprt is destroyed, it
	    unregisters itself with the RPC service package.  This routine
	    modifies the global variable svc_fdset (see rpc_svc_calls(3)).
	    Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
