Cross-System NetIPC
Calls Affecting the Local Process
Calls Affecting the Local Process
There are two categories of calls when considering cross-system NetIPC
communication — local and remote. Calls made for the local process do
not directly affect the remote process. The local NetIPC calls are used to
set up or prepare the local node for interprocess communication with
the remote node. That is, the resulting impact on the local calls is only
to the local node. There is no information that needs to be passed to the
remote node. This is true whether or not the remote node is another
HP 3000 computer system. Table 2-1 lists the NetIPC calls affecting the
local process.
