 RPC_SVC_INPUT 3NSL "Jan 6, 2003"
 NAME
rpc_svc_input, svc_add_input, svc_remove_input - declare or remove a callback
on a file descriptor
 SYNOPSIS

#include <rpc/rpc.h>

typedef void (*svc_callback_t)(svc_input_id_t id, int fd,
 unsigned int events, void *cookie);


svc_input_id_t svc_add_input(int fd, unsigned int revents,
 svc_callback_t callback, void *cookie);


int svc_remove_input(svc_input_t id);


 DESCRIPTION

The following RPC routines are used to declare or remove a callback on a file
descriptor.
 "Routines"

See rpc(3NSL) for the definition of the SVCXPRT data structure.
svc_add_input()

This function is used to register a callback function on a file
descriptor, fd. The file descriptor, fd, is the first parameter to
be passed to svc_add_input(). This callback function will be
automatically called if any of the events specified in the events
parameter occur on this descriptor. The events parameter is used to
specify when the callback is invoked. This parameter is a mask of poll events
to which the user wants to listen. See poll(2) for further details of the
events that can be specified.
The callback to be invoked is specified using the callback parameter. The
cookie parameter can be used to pass any data to the callback
function. This parameter is a user-defined value which is passed as an argument
to the callback function, and it is not used by the Sun RPC library
itself.
Several callbacks can be registered on the same file descriptor as long as each
callback registration specifies a separate set of event flags.
The callback function is called with the registration id, the
fd file descriptor, an revents value, which is a bitmask of all
events concerning the file descriptor, and the cookie user-defined value.
Upon successful completion, the function returns a unique identifier for this
registration, that can be used later to remove this callback. Upon failure,
-1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
The svc_add_input() function will fail if:
EINVAL

The fd or events parameters are invalid.


EEXIST

A callback is already registered to the file descriptor with one of the
specified events.


ENOMEM

Memory is exhausted.


svc_remove_input()

This function is used to unregister a callback function on a file descriptor,
fd. The id parameter specifies the registration to be removed.
Upon successful completion, the function returns zero. Upon failure, -1
is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
The svc_remove_input() function will fail if:
EINVAL

The id parameter is invalid.
