SunOS 5.5 Devices ticlts(7D)
NAME ticlts, ticots, ticotsord − loopback transport providers
SYNOPSIS #include <sys/ticlts.h>
#include <sys/ticots.h>
#include <sys/ticotsord.h>
DESCRIPTION The devices known as ticlts, ticots, and ticotsord are ‘‘loopback transport providers,’’
that is, stand-alone networks at the transport level. Loopback transport providers are
transport providers in every sense except one: only one host (the local machine) is ‘‘con-
nected to’’ a loopback network. Loopback transports present aTPI (STREAMS-level)
interface to application processes and are intended to be accessed via the TLI
(application-level) interface. They are implemented as clone devices and support address
spaces consisting of ‘‘flex-addresses,’’ that is, arbitrary sequences of octets, of length > 0,
represented by a netbuf structure.
ticlts is a datagram-mode transport provider. It offers (connectionless) service of type
T_CLTS. Its default address size is TCL_DEFAULTADDRSZ. ticlts prints the follow-
ing error messages (see t_rcvuderr(3N)):
TCL_BADADDR bad address specification
TCL_BADOPT bad option specification
TCL_NOPEER bound
TCL_PEERBADSTATE peer in wrong state
ticots is a virtual circuit-mode transport provider. It offers (connection-oriented) service
of type T_COTS. Its default address size is TCO_DEFAULTADDRSZ. ticots prints the
following disconnect messages (see t_rcvdis(3N)):
TCO_NOPEER no listener on destinationaddress
TCO_PEERNOROOMONQ peer has no room on connect queue
TCO_PEERBADSTATE peer in wrong state
TCO_PEERINITIATED peer-initiated disconnect
TCO_PROVIDERINITIATED provider-initiated disconnect
ticotsord is a virtual circuit-mode transport provider, offering service of type
T_COTS_ORD (connection-oriented service with orderly release). Its default address
size is TCOO_DEFAULTADDRSZ. ticotsord prints the following disconnect messages
(see t_rcvdis(3N)):
TCOO_NOPEER no listener on destinationaddress
TCOO_PEERNOROOMONQ peer has no room on connect queue
TCOO_PEERBADSTATE peer in wrong state
TCOO_PEERINITIATED peer-initiated disconnect
TCOO_PROVIDERINITIATED provider-initiated disconnect
