373f162cb8SPhilippe CharnierThe
383f162cb8SPhilippe Charnier.Nm
393f162cb8SPhilippe Charnierutility
40ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesis the server that notifies a user that someone else wants to
41ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesinitiate a conversation.
42ea022d16SRodney W. GrimesIt acts as a repository of invitations, responding to requests
43ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesby clients wishing to rendezvous to hold a conversation.
44ea022d16SRodney W. GrimesIn normal operation, a client, the caller,
45ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesinitiates a rendezvous by sending a
46ea022d16SRodney W. Grimes.Tn CTL_MSG
47ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesto the server of
48ea022d16SRodney W. Grimestype
49ea022d16SRodney W. Grimes.Tn LOOK_UP
50ea022d16SRodney W. Grimes(see
51fe08efe6SRuslan Ermilov.In protocols/talkd.h ) .
52ea022d16SRodney W. GrimesThis causes the server to search its invitation
53ea022d16SRodney W. Grimestables to check if an invitation currently exists for the caller
54ea022d16SRodney W. Grimes(to speak to the callee specified in the message).
55a846453cSPhilippe Charnier.Pp
56ea022d16SRodney W. GrimesIf the lookup fails,
57ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesthe caller then sends an
58ea022d16SRodney W. Grimes.Tn ANNOUNCE
59ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesmessage causing the server to
60ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesbroadcast an announcement on the callee's login ports requesting contact.
61a846453cSPhilippe Charnier.Pp
62ea022d16SRodney W. GrimesWhen the callee responds, the local server uses the
63ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesrecorded invitation to respond with the appropriate rendezvous
64ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesaddress and the caller and callee client programs establish a
65ea022d16SRodney W. Grimesstream connection through which the conversation takes place.
