Bring in a hybrid of SunSoft's transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) and associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as bugs fixed along the way. Bring in required TLI library routines to support this. Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls into BSD socket calls. This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994, however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly only made available after this porting effort was underway). The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the 1999 release. Several key features are introduced with this update: Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread safe) Updated, a more modern interface. Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with the recent RPC API. There is an update to the pthreads library, a function pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads library. While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too long of a wait. New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure than the old portmapper. Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6. Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars, which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
RPC library routines allow C language programs to make procedure
calls on other machines across the network.
First, the client calls a procedure 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.
.Pp
The
.Fn clnt_call ,
.Fn rpc_call ,
and
.Fn rpc_broadcast
routines handle the client side of the procedure call.
The remaining routines deal with error handling in the case of errors.
.Pp
Some of the routines take a
.Vt CLIENT
2002-12-19 09:40:28 +00:00
handle as one of the arguments.

A
.Vt CLIENT
handle can be created by an RPC creation routine such as
.Fn clnt_create
(see
.Xr rpc_clnt_create 3 ) .
.Pp
These routines are safe for use in multithreaded applications.
.Vt CLIENT
handles can be shared between threads, however in this implementation
requests by different threads are serialized (that is, the first request will
receive its results before the second request is sent).
.Sh Routines
See
.Xr rpc 3
for the definition of the
.Vt CLIENT
data structure.
.Bl -tag -width XXXXX
.It Fn clnt_call
A function macro that calls the remote procedure
.Fa procnum
associated with the client handle,
.Fa clnt ,
which is obtained with an RPC
client creation routine such as
.Fn clnt_create
(see
.Xr rpc_clnt_create 3 ) .

Normally used after a remote procedure call fails

it returns a string instead of printing to standard error.
However,

does not append a newline at the end of the message.

except the call message is broadcast to
all the connectionless transports specified by
.Fa nettype .
If
.Fa nettype
is
.Dv NULL ,
it defaults to
.Qq netpath .
Each time it receives a response,
this routine calls
.Fn eachresult ,
whose form is:
.Ft bool_t
.Fn eachresult "caddr_t out" "const struct netbuf * addr" "const struct netconfig * netconf"
where
.Fa out
is the same as
.Fa out
passed to
.Fn rpc_broadcast ,
except that the remote procedure's output is decoded there;
.Fa addr
points to the address of the machine that sent the results, and
.Fa netconf
is the netconfig structure of the transport on which the remote
server responded.
If
.Fn eachresult
returns 0,
.Fn rpc_broadcast
waits for more replies;
otherwise it returns with appropriate status.
Warning:
broadcast file descriptors are limited in size to the
maximum transfer size of that transport.
For Ethernet, this value is 1500 bytes.
