rrpc_are_you_there()
Name
rrpc_are_you_there − check whether a server is answering requests
Format
#include <rrpc.h>
void rrpc_$are_you_there( handle, *status)
handle_t handle;
status_$t *status;
Arguments
handle A remote procedure call (RPC) handle.
status The completion status.
Description
The rrpc_$are_you_there call checks whether a server is answering requests.
Restrictions
On the client side, because of the way the rrpc_ calls are defined and implemented in the run-time library libnck.a, you must explicitly call into the entry point vector table for the rrpc_ interface to send an rrpc_ request across the network. The following is an example of a call that works as desired.
(*rrpc_$client_epv.rrpc_$are_you_there)(handle, &status);
The server side stub routine calls the entry point rrpc_$are_you_there on behalf of the client. The results of the call are then passed back to the client.
