man Ns_ConnDriverContext (3): Routines to access communication driver data

Other Alias

Ns_ConnDriverName

SYNOPSIS

#include "ns.h"

void *
Ns_ConnDriverContext(conn)

char *
Ns_ConnDriverName(conn)

Ns_Conn conn (in)
Pointer to open connection.

These functions provide access to the underyling communications driver data for an open connection.

char *Ns_ConnDriverName(conn): Returns the string name of the communication driver, e.g., "nssock". This is the name passed in the Ns_DriverInitData structure in a call to Ns_DriverInit, not the module name for the particular instance of the loaded driver.
void *Ns_ConnDriverContent(conn): Returns a pointer to the connection-specific driver context for the given connection. This value is that of the arg element of the underlying Ns_Sock structure allocated by the server and used by communication drivers to manage private state. If the connection is closed, the value returned is always NULL.
