Grouping LLCS FTAM Functions

ft_egroup()

#include %</opt/ftam/include/map.h>

#include %</opt/ftam/include/mapftam.h>

Return_code

ft_egroup (connection_id, return_event_name, input_dcb,

inout_dcb)

Connection_id connection_id;

Local_event_name return_event_name;

char *input_dcb;

struct Ft_egroup_out_dcb **inout_dcb;

Use ft_egroup(), either synchronously or asynchronously, to end a set of

grouped functions.

• During ft_connect(), you must negotiate the FT_FU_GROUPING

functional_units to use ft_egroup().

• An ft_egroup() is successful only if ft_bgroup() succeeds and if the

threshold number of requests succeeds.

Ft_egroup_out_dcb

struct Ft_egroup_out_dcb {

Uint32 size;

struct Api_rc result;

};

return_event_na

Mandatory Input Uniquely identiﬁes the asynchronous call

inout_dcb->size Mandatory input

if using inout_dcb

Size (in Octets) of the inout_dcb structure and

data

inout_dcb->result Output Pointer to the struct Api_rc containing the

outcome of the operation: result_code and

vendor_code (HP-UX—speciﬁc error)
