t_rcv(3) Library Functions Manual t_rcv(3) NAME t_rcv - Receives normal data or expedited data on a connection LIBRARY XTI Library (libxti.a) SYNOPSIS #include <xti.h> int t_rcv( int fd, char *buf, unsigned nbytes, int *flags) ; STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: t_rcv: 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_rcv() is called: center, tab(@); lb lb lb l c c. Parameters@Before Call@After Call _ fd@y@n buf@y@(y) nbytes@y@n flags@n@y Notes to Table: y This is a meaningful parameter. n This is not a meaningful parameter. (y) The content of the object pointed to by y is meaningful. fd Specifies a file descriptor returned by the t_open() function that identifies the local transport endpoint where an active connection exists. buf Points to the receive data buffer where returned data is to be written. nbytes Specifies the length in bytes of the received-data buffer pointed to by the buf parameter. flags Points to an unsigned integer (least significant bit rightmost) whose bits are flags that specify the action that must be taken by the responding transport user when the t_rcv() function is processed. Corresponding values and symbolic names for the fol- lowing flag bits are defined in the xti.h include file: center, tab(@) ; lb lb lb cw(0.5i) lw(1.0i) lw(3.0i). Bit@Symbolic Name@Meaning _ 0@T_MORE@T{ When set, this bit notifies the transport user that received data is a fragment of a Transport Service Data Unit (TSDU) or Expedited Transport Service Data Unit (ETSDU), and that more data is available. The rest of the TSDU or ETSDU can be received through further t_rcv() function calls. Each time this flag is set on return, another t_rcv() call can re- ceive additional pieces of the TSDU or ETSDU. When the final TSDU or ETSDU is received, this flag bit has a value of 0 (zero) on return. When the transport provider does not support TSDU or ETSDU data exchanges (refer to the t_open() and t_getinfo() functions), the state of this flag bit should be ignored. T} 1@T_EXPEDITED@T{ When set, this bit notifies the transport user that re- ceived data is an ETSDU. When the number of ETSDU data bytes exceeds the value specified by the nbytes parameter, this flag bit and the T_MORE flag bit are set on return of the initial t_rcv() call. Subsequent t_rcv() calls issued to retrieve the rest of the ETSDU have both these flag bits set on return. When the final piece of the ETSDU is received, the T_MORE flag bit has a value of 0 (zero) on return. T} @@T{ When an ETSDU is re- ceived during reception of a TSDU, no remaining pieces of the TSDU may be received until the current ETSDU has been completely received. T} VALID STATES The t_rcv() function can only be called in the T_DATAXFER and T_OUTREL transport provider states. DESCRIPTION The t_rcv() function is an XTI connection-oriented service function that is used to receive normal or expedited data. The transport end- point through which data arrives is specified by a file descriptor pre- viously returned by the t_open() function. By default, t_rcv() executes in the synchronous operating mode. In synchronous mode t_rcv() waits for data to arrive even when none is currently available before return- ing control to the calling transport user. When the transport endpoint, specified by the fd parameter, has been opened with the O_NONBLOCK flag set in the t_open() or fcntl() func- tions, the t_rcv() function executes in asynchronous mode. In asynchro- nous mode, when no data is available, this function fails. NOTES In synchronous mode, the only way for a transport user to be notified of the arrival of normal or expedited data is to call the t_rcv() func- tion or to check for states T_DATA or T_EXDATA using the t_look() func- tion. RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the t_rcv() function returns the number of bytes of data received. Otherwise, the value -1 is returned and t_errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS If the t_rcv() function fails, t_errno is set to one of the following values: [TBADF] The specified file descriptor does not refer to a valid transport endpoint. [TNODATA] Asynchronous mode is indicated because O_NONBLOCK was set, but no data is currently available from the transport provider. [TLOOK] An asynchronous event has occurred on this transport endpoint and requires immediate attention (refer to t_look() func- tion). [TOUTSTATE] The t_look() function was issued in the wrong sequence on the transport endpoint referenced by the fd parameter. [TSYSERR] A system error occurred during execution of t_look(). [TNOTSUPPORT] This function is not supported by the underlying transport provider. [TPROTO] This error indicates that a communication problem has been detected between XTI and the transport provider for which there is no other suitable XTI(t_errno).
