svcerr_systemerr Subroutine

svcerr_systemerr Subroutine Exported from the libc Library

Purpose

Indicates that the service dispatch routine cannot complete the remote procedure call due to an error that is not covered by a protocol.

Library

C Library (libc.a)

Syntax

#include <rpc/rpc.h>

Description

The svcerr_systemerr subroutine is called by a service dispatch subroutine that detects a system error not covered by a protocol. For example, a service dispatch subroutine calls the svcerr_systemerr subroutine if the first subroutine can no longer allocate storage. The routine sets the status of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) reply message to the SYSTEM_ERR condition.

Parameters

svcerr_systemerr Subroutine Exported from the libnsl Library

Purpose

Indicates that the service dispatch routine cannot complete the remote procedure call due to an error that is not covered by a protocol.

Library

Network Services Library (libnsl.a)

Syntax

#include <rpc/rpc.h>

void svcerr_systemerr ( xprt)
const SVCXPRT *xprt;

Description

The svcerr_systemerr subroutine is called by a service dispatch subroutine when a system error occurs that can not be covered by any particular protocol. The subroutine sets the status of the remote procedure call (RPC) reply message to the RPC_SYSTEMERROR condition.

Parameters

Examples

#include <rpc/rpc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define PROG 0x3fffffffL
#define VERS 0x1L

    Procedure will return its result.
