Function Documentation

globus_xio_attr_cntl()

globus_result_t globus_xio_attr_cntl	(	globus_xio_attr_t	attr,
		globus_xio_driver_t	driver,
		int	cmd,
			...
	)

Manipulate the values associated in the attr.

This function provides a means to access the attr structure. What exactly this function does is determined by the value in the parameter cmd and the value of the parameter driver. When the driver parameter is NULL it indicates that this function applies to general Globus XIO values. If it is not NULL it indicates that the function will effect driver specific values. Each driver is responsible for defining its own enumeration of values for cmd and the var args associated with that command.

Parameters

attr	the attribute structure to be manipulated.
driver	This parameter indicates which driver the user would like to perform the requested operation. If this parameter is NULL this request will be scoped to general attribute functions.
cmd	an enum that determines what specific operation the user is requesting. Each driver will determine the value for this enumeration.

globus_xio_attr_copy()

globus_result_t globus_xio_attr_copy	(	globus_xio_attr_t *	dst,
		globus_xio_attr_t	src
	)

Copy an attribute structure.

globus_xio_attr_destroy()

globus_result_t globus_xio_attr_destroy

(

globus_xio_attr_t

attr

)

Clean up resources associated with an attribute.

Parameters

attr	Upon completion of this function all resources associated with this structure will returned to the system and the attr will no longer be valid.

globus_xio_attr_init()

globus_result_t globus_xio_attr_init

(

globus_xio_attr_t *

attr

)

Initialize a Globus XIO attribute.

Parameters

attr	upon return from this function this out parameter will be initialized. Once the user is finished with the attribute they should make sure they destroy it in order to free resources associated with it.

globus_xio_close()

globus_result_t globus_xio_close	(	globus_xio_handle_t	handle,
		globus_xio_attr_t	attr
	)

Blocking close

globus_xio_data_descriptor_cntl()

globus_result_t globus_xio_data_descriptor_cntl	(	globus_xio_data_descriptor_t	data_desc,
		globus_xio_driver_t	driver,
		int	cmd,
			...
	)

Touch driver specific data in data descriptors

This function allows the user to communicate directly with a driver in association with a data descriptors. The driver defines what operations can be preformed.

globus_xio_data_descriptor_destroy()

globus_result_t globus_xio_data_descriptor_destroy

(

globus_xio_data_descriptor_t

data_desc

)

clean up a data descriptor.

globus_xio_data_descriptor_init()

globus_result_t globus_xio_data_descriptor_init	(	globus_xio_data_descriptor_t *	data_desc,
		globus_xio_handle_t	handle
	)

Initialize a data descriptor

Parameters

data_desc	An out parameter. The data descriptor to be initialized.
handle	The handle this data descriptor will be used with. This parameter is require in order to optimize the code handling the data descriptors use.

globus_xio_driver_list_to_stack_attr()

globus_result_t globus_xio_driver_list_to_stack_attr	(	globus_list_t *	driver_list,
		globus_xio_stack_t	stack,
		globus_xio_attr_t	attr
	)

Add a list of driver entries to a stack.

This function walks a list of globus_xio_driver_list_ent_t * values passed as the driver_list parameter, and pushes them onto the XIO stack passed as the stack parameter and sets attributes for those drivers in the attr passed as the attr parameter to this function.

Parameters

driver_list	A list of driver list entries in stack order (transport, followed by transform). Each entry may contain a option string for attributes to set for this driver.
stack	A pointer to an XIO stack which will have the drivers pushed onto. It must be previously initialized by calling globus_xio_stack_init(). This function does not overwrite the stack, so the drivers passed in the driver list will be pushed on top of any existing drivers in the stack.
attr	A pointer to an XIO attribute which will have the driver-specific string options set on it, after the drivers are pushed onto the stack. The opts field of the list entries are passed to the GLOBUS_XIO_SET_STRING_OPTIONS attr control function. This value must be previously initialized by calling globus_xio_attr_init(). Errors from the attr control function are ignored.

Returns

If the driver can not be pushed onto the stack, an error result is returned; otherwise, GLOBUS_SUCCESS. If an error occurs, some of the entries MAY be pushed on to the stack and some attributes may have been set in the attr. Both should be destroyed by the caller.

globus_result_t globus_xio_server_accept	(	globus_xio_handle_t *	out_handle,
		globus_xio_server_t	server
	)

Accept a connection

This function will accept a connection on the given server object and the parameter out_handle will be valid if the function returns successfully.

globus_xio_server_close()

globus_result_t globus_xio_server_close

(

globus_xio_server_t

server

)

A blocking server close

globus_xio_server_cntl()

globus_result_t globus_xio_server_cntl	(	globus_xio_server_t	server,
		globus_xio_driver_t	driver,
		int	cmd,
			...
	)

Touch driver specific information in a server object.

This function allows the user to communicate directly with a driver in association with a server object. The driver defines what operations can be preformed.

globus_xio_server_create()

globus_result_t globus_xio_server_create	(	globus_xio_server_t *	server,
		globus_xio_attr_t	server_attr,
		globus_xio_stack_t	stack
	)

Create a server object.

This function allows the user to create a server object which can then be used to accept connections.

Parameters

server	An out parameter. Once the function successfully returns this will point to a valid server object.
server_attr	an attribute structure used to alter the default server initialization. This will mostly be used in a driver specific manner. can be NULL.
stack

globus_xio_server_get_contact_string()

globus_result_t globus_xio_server_get_contact_string	(	globus_xio_server_t	server,
		char **	contact_string
	)

get contact string

This function allows the user to get the contact string for a server. this string could be used as the contact string for the client side.

Parameters

server	An initialized server handle created with globus_xio_server_create()
contact_string	an out variable. Will point to a newly allocated string on success. must be freed by the caller.

		globus_xio_accept_callback_t	cb,
		void *	user_arg
	)

Asynchronous accept.

This function posts an nonblocking accept. Once the operation has completed the user function pointed to by the parameter cb is called.

globus_xio_server_register_close()

globus_result_t globus_xio_server_register_close	(	globus_xio_server_t	server,
		globus_xio_server_callback_t	cb,
		void *	user_arg
	)

post a close on a server object

This function registers a close operation on a server. When the user function pointed to by parameter cb is called the server object is closed.
