t_accept(3) Library Functions Manual t_accept(3) NAME t_accept - Accepts a connect request LIBRARY XTI Library (libxti.a) SYNOPSIS #include <xti.h> int t_accept( int fd, int resfd, struct t_call *call) ; STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: t_accept: XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about in- dustry standards and associated tags. PARAMETERS The following table summarizes the relevance of input and output para- meters before and after t_accept() is called: tab(@); lfHB lfHB lfHB l l l. _ Parameter@Before Call@After Call _ fd@y@n resfd@y@n call->addr.maxlen@n@n call->addr.len@y@n call->addr.buf@o(o)@n call->opt.maxlen@n@n call->opt.len@y@n call->opt.buf@o(o)@n call->udata.maxlen@n@n call->udata.len@y@n call->udata.buf@o(o)@n call->sequence@y@n _ Notes to table: y This is a meaningful parameter. n This is not a meaningful parameter. o This is an optional parameter. (o) The content of the object pointed to by o is optional. Specifies a file descriptor returned by the t_open() function that identifies the local transport endpoint from which the connect indica- tion arrived. Specifies the local transport endpoint where the connec- tion is to be established. A transport user can accept a connection either on the same or on a different local transport endpoint than the one on which the connect indication arrived. Before accepting the connection on the same transport endpoint (resfd == fd), the transport user must have responded to any previous connect indications received on that same transport endpoint using the t_accept() or t_snddis() functions. Other- wise, the t_accept() function fails and sets t_errno to [TIND- OUT]. When a different transport endpoint (resfd != fd) is specified, the transport user can bind the transport endpoint with a call to the t_bind() function prior to issuing the t_accept() call. If the endpoint is not bound prior to call to t_accept, the transport provider automatically binds it to the same protocol address to which fd is bound. If the transport user decides to bind the endpoint, the req->qlen parameter of t_bind() must be set to 0 (zero) and the endpoint must be in the T_IDLE state (refer to the t_getstate() function) before the t_accept() func- tion is called. When there are indications, such as connect or disconnect, wait- ing to be received at that endpoint, t_accept() fails and sets t_errno to [TLOOK]. Points to a type t_call structure used to store information required by the transport provider to complete the connection. The t_call structure has the following four mem- bers: Specifies a buffer for protocol address information sent by the calling transport user. The address can be null (zero length). If it is not null, XTI may check it. The type netbuf structure referenced by this member is defined in the xti.h include file. This structure, which is used to de- fine buffer parameters, has the following members: Specifies the maximum byte length of the data buffer. Specifies the actual byte length of data written to the buffer. Points to the buffer location. Specifies parameters or options associated with the connection. The values of parameters specified by call->opt and the syntax of those values are protocol-specific. If the user sets call->opt.len to zero (does not specify any options), the con- nection is assumed to be accepted unconditionally. The transport provider can choose options other than the defaults to ensure that the connection is accepted successfully. Specifies parame- ters of user data returned to the calling transport user from the called transport user. The amount of user data must not exceed the limits specified by the transport provider as returned in the info->connect parame- ter of the t_open() and t_getinfo() functions. When the call->udata.len parameter is 0 (zero), no data is sent to the calling transport user. The maxlen fields are meaningless. Specifies a unique identifi- cation number returned by the t_listen function and used to identify the previously received connect indication. The call->sequence parameter is a value returned by the t_lis- ten() function that uniquely associates the response with a pre- viously received connect indication. VALID STATES The t_accept() function can only be called in the following transport provider states: For fd, T_INCON. For fd != resfd, T_IDLE or T_UNBND. DESCRIPTION The t_accept() function is an XTI connection-oriented service function that is issued by a transport user to accept a connect request after a connect indication has arrived. Structures of types t_call and netbuf, which are defined in the xti.h include file, are used by this function. NOTES Some transport providers do not distinguish between a connection indi- cation and the connection itself. If the connection is already estab- lished after t_listen() returns 0 (success), t_accept() assigns the ex- isting connection to the transport endpoint specified by resfd. See xti_internet(7) for more information. RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, a value of 0 (zero) is returned. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and t_errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS If the t_accept() function fails, t_errno may be set to one of the fol- lowing: The user does not have permission to accept a connection on the responding transport endpoint or to use the specified options. The specified protocol address was in an incorrect format or contained il- legal information. The amount of user data specified was not within the bounds allowed by the transport provider. The fd or resfd file de- scriptor does not refer to a transport endpoint, or the user is ille- gally accepting a connection on the same transport endpoint on which the connect indication arrived. The specified options were in an in- correct format or contained illegal information. An invalid sequence number was specified. The function was called with identical fd and the resfd parameters, but the endpoint still has outstanding connection indications. You can either reject the connection indications with the t_snddis function or accept them on a different endpoint with the t_ac- cept function. An asynchronous event has occurred on the transport endpoint referenced by the fd parameter and requires immediate atten- tion. This function is not supported by the underlying transport provider. The t_accept() function was called in the wrong sequence at the transport endpoint referenced by the fd parameter, or the transport endpoint referred to by the resfd parameter is not in the appropriate state. The fd and the resfd parameters do not refer to the same trans- port provider. An unspecified communication problem has occurred be- tween XTI and the transport provider. The fd and resfd parameters are not bound to the same address. The endpoint referenced by the resfd parameter, provided resfd does not equal fd, was bound to a protocol address with a qlen greater than zero. A system error occurred during execution of this function. RELATED INFORMATION Functions: t_alloc(3), t_bind(3), t_connect(3), t_getstate(3), t_lis- ten(3), t_open(3), t_optmgmt(3), t_rcvconnect(3).
