svc_exit Subroutine

svc_exit Subroutine Exported from the libc Library

Purpose

Causes the svc_run service loop to terminate and return.

Library

Network Services Library (libnsl.a)

Syntax

#include <rpc/rpc.h>

void svc_exit (void);

Description

The svc_exit subroutine causes the svc_run loop to terminate and return to the caller. This subroutine can be called by a service procedure. The call causes all service threads to exit and destroys all server services. Callers must reestablish all services if they wish to resume server activity.

svc_exit Subroutine Exported from the libnsl Library

Purpose

Destroys all remote procedure call services registered by the server.

Library

Network Services Library (libnsl.a)

Syntax

#include <rpc/rpc.h>

void svc_exit (void);

Description

The svc_exit subroutine destroys all RPC services registered by server program and forces the svc_run subroutine to return. This subroutine has a global scope and thus all server activities are stopped. To restart the RPC server activities, you must reregister RPC services.

Examples

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
#include <pthread.h>
 
#define PROG 0x3fffffffL
#define VERS 0x1L

static void sample_dispatch();

main()
{
  
    SVCXPRT *svc_handle;
    struct netconfig *nconf;

    /* Create svc_handle using server handle creation routines and get transport type */

    /* Register dispatch routine for program number and version number with RPCBIND service */

    svc_run();
    fprintf(stdout,"\nAfter svc_run()!\n");
   
     return 0;
}

/* following is the sample dispatch routine*/
