Migration From PTOP to NetIPC and RPM
Exchanging Data
Syntax
ifun := GET [([ itag ][, il ][, ionumber ]
• If the slave requires a master function, receive a one byte master
function number from the virtual circuit from the master.
• If the slave requires the request length, receive the length from the
virtual circuit.
• If a tag is specified, receive the master tag from the virtual circuit.
To convert the PTOP intrinsic listed below, perform the following steps.
Syntax
ACCEPT [([ itag [, target ][, tcount )]
• Depending on the master function, either known to the application,
or received from the master in Step (1):
PREAD: Send the target data, of length fncttcount, on the virtual circuit
to the master.
PWRITE: Receive the data into target, using either the known fncttcount
or the length received from the master in Step (2).
• If a tag is specified, send the slave tag on the virtual circuit.
