Migration From PTOP to NetIPC and RPM
Terminating Processes
Terminating Processes
The final phase is the termination of the slave process, and the shutting
down of the communications channel between the master and the slave.
With PTOP, both of these functions are performed by the PCLOSE
intrinsic. With NetIPC and RPM, the process termination is done by
RPMKILL, while the channel is shut down by IPCSHUTDOWN. In both
PTOP and NetIPC/RPM, clean up on the slave is done automatically
upon its termination.
To convert the PTOP intrinsic listed below, perform the following steps.
Syntax
PCLOSE (
dsnum
)
• Call RPMKILL to terminate the slave by using the program
descriptor returned by RPMCREATE.
• Call IPCSHUTDOWN to shutdown the master’s end of the
virtual-circuit connection.
