HP 9000 Networking XTI Programmer's Guide

XTI over OSI Networks

Upgrading from Previous XTI Versions

This version of XTI has been changed to support the X/Open XPG4

speciﬁcations. This has some implications for applications that were created

for OTS versions prior to C.05.00, which were based on X/Open XPG3.

These changes may require source code changes, recompilation, and

relinking your program to work on the new version. The major changes that

may affect you are as follows:

• The options format has changed completely from XPG3 to XPG4. Applications

using XTI options will require source code changes to work with this version.

The header file /usr/include/sys/xti.h has been changed to conform to the new

specifications. Examples of how to use the new options format are in the demo

program directory /opt/ots/xti/demo.

• Applications no longer need to be linked to the Streams libraries (libstr.a or -lstr),

which no longer exist.

• Address values passed to OTS are now checked more strictly. The address buffer

must be terminated with a zero byte even when you use the T-selector and NSAP

format as described in the section on “Addressing” in this chapter.
