HP-UX Reference (11i v2 04/09) - 3 Library Functions N-Z (vol 7)

rpc_svc_reg(3N) rpc_svc_reg(3N)

The svc_auth_reg()

routine returns 0 if the registration is successful, 1 if cred_ﬂavor already

has an authentication handler registered for it, and

-1 otherwise.

void xprt_register()

After RPC service transport handle xprt is created, it is registered with the RPC service package.

This routine modiﬁes the global variable

svc_fdset (see rpc_svc_calls(3N)). Service implemen-

tors usually do not need this routine.

void xprt_unregister()

Before an RPC service transport handle xprt is destroyed, it unregisters itself with the RPC service

package. This routine modiﬁes the global variable

svc_fdset (see rpc_svc_calls(3N)). Service

implementors usually do not need this routine.

MULTITHREAD USAGE

Thread Safe: Yes

Cancel Safe: Yes

Fork Safe: No

Async-cancel Safe: No

Async-signal Safe: No

These functions can be called safely in a multithreaded environment. They may be cancellation points in

that they call functions that are cancel points.

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.
