These routines are a part of the RPC library which allows the RPC servers to register themselves with rpcbind (see rpcbind(8)), and associate the given program and version number with the dispatch function. When the RPC server receives a RPC request, the library invokes the dispatch routine with the appropriate arguments.Routines
See rpc(3) for the definition of the Vt SVCXPRT data structure.- Fn rpc_reg
- Register program Fa prognum , procedure Fa procname , and version Fa versnum with the RPC service package. If a request arrives for program Fa prognum , version Fa versnum , and procedure Fa procnum , Fa procname is called with a pointer to its argument(s); Fa procname should return a pointer to its static result(s); Fa inproc is the XDR function used to decode the arguments while Fa outproc is the XDR function used to encode the results. Procedures are registered on all available transports of the class Fa nettype . See rpc(3). This routine returns 0 if the registration succeeded, -1 otherwise.
- Fn svc_reg
-
Associates
Fa prognum
and
Fa versnum
with the service dispatch procedure,
Fa dispatch .
If
Fa netconf
is
NULL
the service is not registered with the
rpcbind(8)
service.
If
Fa netconf
is non-zero,
then a mapping of the triple
Bq Fa prognum , versnum , netconf->nc_netid
to
Fa xprt->xp_ltaddr
is established with the local rpcbind
service.
The Fn svc_reg routine returns 1 if it succeeds, and 0 otherwise.
- Fn svc_unreg
- Remove from the rpcbind service, all mappings of the triple Bq Fa prognum , versnum , No all-transports to network address and all mappings within the RPC service package of the double Bq Fa prognum , versnum to dispatch routines.
- Fn svc_auth_reg
-
Registers the service authentication routine
Fa handler
with the dispatch mechanism so that it can be
invoked to authenticate RPC requests received
with authentication type
Fa cred_flavor .
This interface allows developers to add new authentication
types to their RPC applications without needing to modify
the libraries.
Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
Typical service application would call Fn svc_auth_reg after registering the service and prior to calling Fn svc_run . When needed to process an RPC credential of type Fa cred_flavor , the Fa handler procedure will be called with two arguments, Fa struct svc_req *rqst and Fa struct rpc_msg *msg , and is expected to return a valid Vt enum auth_stat value. There is no provision to change or delete an authentication handler once registered.
The Fn svc_auth_reg routine returns 0 if the registration is successful, 1 if Fa cred_flavor already has an authentication handler registered for it, and -1 otherwise.
- Fn xprt_register
- After RPC service transport handle Fa xprt is created, it is registered with the RPC service package. This routine modifies the global variable svc_fdset (see rpc_svc_calls3). Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
- Fn xprt_unregister
- Before an RPC service transport handle Fa xprt is destroyed, it unregisters itself with the RPC service package. This routine modifies the global variable svc_fdset (see rpc_svc_calls3). Service implementors usually do not need this routine.
