However, \fBTLI\fR interfaces are supported for compatibility. When using a \fBTLI\fR routine that has the same name as an \fBXTI\fR routine, the \fBtiuser.h\fR header file must be used. Refer to the \fBTLI\fR \fBCOMPATIBILITY\fR section for a description of differences between the two interfaces. .sp .LP This function returns the current event on the transport endpoint specified by \fIfd\fR. This function enables a transport provider to notify a transport user of an asynchronous event when the user is calling functions in synchronous mode. Certain events require immediate notification of the user and are indicated by a specific error, \fBTLOOK\fR, on the current or next function to be executed. .sp .LP This function also enables a transport user to poll a transport endpoint periodically for asynchronous events. .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .LP Upon success, \fBt_look()\fR returns a value that indicates which of the allowable events has occurred, or returns zero if no event exists. One of the following events is returned: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBT_LISTEN\fR \fR .ad .RS 17n Connection indication received. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBT_CONNECT\fR \fR .ad .RS 17n Connect confirmation received. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBT_DATA\fR \fR .ad .RS 17n Normal data received. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBT_EXDATA\fR \fR .ad .RS 17n Expedited data received. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBT_DISCONNECT\fR \fR .ad .RS 17n Disconnection received. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBT_UDERR\fR \fR .ad .RS 17n Datagram error indication. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBT_ORDREL\fR \fR .ad .RS 17n Orderly release indication. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBT_GODATA\fR \fR .ad .RS 17n Flow control restrictions on normal data flow that led to a \fBTFLOW\fR error have been lifted. Normal data may be sent again. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBT_GOEXDATA\fR \fR .ad .RS 17n Flow control restrictions on expedited data flow that led to a \fBTFLOW\fR error have been lifted. Expedited data may be sent again. .RE .sp .LP On failure, -1 is returned and \fBt_errno\fR is set to indicate the error. .SH VALID STATES .sp .LP ALL - apart from \fBT_UNINIT\fR. .SH ERRORS .sp .LP On failure, \fBt_errno\fR is set to one of the following: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTBADF\fR\fR .ad .RS 11n The specified file descriptor does not refer to a transport endpoint. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTPROTO\fR\fR .ad .RS 11n This error indicates that a communication problem has been detected between XTI and the transport provider for which there is no other suitable XTI error \fB(t_errno)\fR. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBTSYSERR\fR\fR .ad .RS 11n A system error has occurred during execution of this function. .RE .SH TLI COMPATIBILITY .sp .LP The \fBXTI\fR and \fBTLI\fR interface definitions have common names but use different header files. This, and other semantic differences between the two interfaces are described in the subsections below. .SS "Interface Header" .sp .LP The \fBXTI\fR interfaces use the header file, \fBxti.h\fR. \fBTLI\fR interfaces should \fInot\fR use this header. They should use the header: .sp .in +2 .nf #include .fi .in -2 .SS "Return Values" .sp .LP The return values that are defined by the \fBXTI\fR interface and cannot be returned by the \fBTLI\fR interface are: .br .in +2 \fBT_GODATA\fR .in -2 .br .in +2 \fBT_GOEXDATA\fR .in -2 .SS "Error Description Values" .sp .LP The \fBt_errno\fR value that can be set by the \fBXTI\fR interface and cannot be set by the \fBTLI\fR interface is: .br .in +2 \fBTPROTO\fR .in -2 .SH ATTRIBUTES .sp .LP See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS box; c | c l | l .
