threads for servicing client requests.

bool_t svc_sendreply()

Called by an RPC service’s dispatch routine to send the results of a remote procedure call. The

parameter xprt is the request’s associated transport handle; outproc is the XDR routine which is

used to encode the results; and out is the address of the results. This routine returns

TRUE if it

succeeds,

FALSE otherwise.

This function macro is safe in MT applications utilizing the User MT modes.

MULTITHREAD USAGE

Thread Safe: See the NOTES section of this page.

Cancel Safe: See the NOTES section of this page.

Fork Safe: No

Async-cancel Safe: No

Async-signal Safe: No

In a multithreaded environment, these functions are not safe to be called by a child process after

fork()

and before exec(). These functions should not be called by a multithreaded application that support

asynchronous cancellation or asynchronous signals.

NOTES

svc_dg_enablecache()

and svc_getrpccaller() are Thread Safe and Cancel Safe in mul-

tithreaded applications.

svc_freeargs()

, svc_getargs(), and svc_sendreply()

are Thread

safe and Cancel Safe in multithreaded applications utilizing the User MT modes.

svc_getreq_common()

, svc_getreqset(), and svc_getreq_poll()

are unsafe in mul-

tithreaded applications and should be called only from the main thread.
