$ICC_REPLYW

The Intra-Cluster Communications Reply and Wait service transmits a single message over a connection in response to a $ICC_TRANSCEIVE[W] request.

The $ICC_REPLYW service completes synchronously; that is, it returns to the caller when the underlying transport layer has released use of the reply buffer.

For asynchronous completion, use the $ICC_REPLY service; $ICC_REPLY returns to the caller as soon as the transmission request has been queued to the transport layer, without waiting for notification that the transport layer has released control of the data buffer.

On Alpha and I64 systems, this service accepts 64-bit addresses.


Format

SYS$ICC_REPLYW conn_handle, ios_icc, [astadr], [astprm], reply_buf, reply_len


C Prototype

sys$icc_replyw (unsigned int conn_handle, struct _ios_icc *ios_icc, void (*astadr)(__unknown_params), __int64 astprm, char *reply_buf, unsigned int reply_len);


$ICC_TRANSCEIVE

Sends a single message over a connection and then waits for a reply.

On Alpha and I64 systems, this service accepts 64-bit addresses.

access: read only
mechanism: by 32-bit or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64); by 32-bit reference (VAX)

The 32-bit or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64 systems) or the 32-bit address (on VAX systems) of the buffer containing the data to be sent. The length of this buffer is specified by the argument send_len.

send_len


OpenVMS usage: buffer size
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value

The length (in bytes) of the data to be sent over the connection. This value specifies the length of the buffer send_buf.

IOS_ICC Arguments:

returned_data_len (output)


OpenVMS usage: longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

This parameter is passed through the ios_icc. The $ICC_TRANSCEIVE service writes the actual length (in bytes) of the reply data received into offset ios_icc$l_txrcv_len of the ios_icc. This value represents how much data in reply_buf was returned by the target application.

reply_buf (input)


OpenVMS usage: byte_stream
type: character-coded text string
access: write only
mechanism: by 32-bit or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64); by 32-bit reference (VAX)

This parameter is passed through the ios_icc. The 32-bit or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64 systems) or the 32-bit address (on VAX systems) of the buffer available to receive the incoming reply message is placed in offset ios_icc$a_reply_buffer of the ios_icc.

reply_buf_len (input)


OpenVMS usage: buffer_size
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value

This parameter is passed through the ios_icc. The length (in bytes) of the buffer to receive the reply message. This value specifies the length of the buffer reply_buf. This value is placed in offset ios_icc$l_txreply_len of the ios_icc.

Description

This service sends a single message over a connection and then waits for a reply. When completion is signaled by calling the AST (if supplied), the data has been delivered to the application at the other end of the connection and that application has delivered a reply, now present in the reply buffer. The user can reuse the send and reply buffers after completion.

For efficiency reasons, the number of parameters on this routine has been limited to six parameters. Three additional parameters are passed by the ios_icc data structure.

Required Access or Privileges

$ICC_TRANSCEIVEW

Sends a single message over a connection and waits for a reply.

The $ICC_TRANSCEIVEW service completes synchronously; that is, it returns to the caller when the data from the reply is available.

For asynchronous completion, use the $ICC_TRANSCEIVE service; $ICC_TRANSCEIVE returns to the caller when the transmit portion of the tranceive request has been queued to the transport layer, but without waiting for notification that the transport layer has released control of the data buffer or for the reply data from the receiving end of the connection.

On Alpha and I64 systems, this service accepts 64-bit addresses.

Description

This service sends a single message over a connection. When completion is signalled by calling the AST (if supplied), the data has been delivered to the communications system, but not necessarily to the system or application at the other end of the connection. After completion, the user can reuse the buffer.

Alternatively, if the synchronous completion option was requested at connection time, the service may return the optional success status, SS$_SYNCH. When SS$_SYNCH is returned, completion has occurred, and no AST will be delivered.

Required Access or Privileges

None.

$ICC_TRANSMITW

Sends a single message over a connection.

The $ICC_TRANSMITW service completes synchronously; that is, it returns to the caller when the underlying transport layer has released use of the Transmit buffer. This does not mean that the data has been received by the partner application.

For asynchronous completion, use the $ICC_TRANSMIT service. The $ICC_TRANSMIT service returns to the caller as soon as the transmission request has been queued to the transport layer, without waiting for notification that the transport layer has released control of the data buffer.

On Alpha and I64 systems, this service accepts 64-bit addresses.

C Prototype

int sys$idtoasc (unsigned int id, unsigned short int *namlen, void *nambuf, unsigned int *resid, unsigned int *attrib, unsigned int *contxt);


Arguments

id


OpenVMS usage: rights_id
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by value

Binary identifier value translated by $IDTOASC. The id argument is a longword containing the binary value of the identifier. To determine the identifier names of all identifiers in the rights database, you specify id as --1 and call $IDTOASC repeatedly until it returns the status code SS$_NOSUCHID. The identifiers are returned in alphabetical order.

namlen


OpenVMS usage: word_unsigned
type: word (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64); by 32-bit reference (VAX)

Number of characters in the identifier name translated by $IDTOASC. The namlen argument is the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64 systems) or the 32-bit address (on VAX systems) of a word containing the length of the identifier name written to nambuf.

nambuf


OpenVMS usage: char_string
type: character-coded text string
access: write only
mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit descriptor--fixed-length string descriptor (Alpha and I64); by 32-bit descriptor--fixed-length string descriptor (VAX)

Identifier name text string returned when $IDTOASC completes the translation. The nambuf argument is the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64 systems) or the 32-bit address (on VAX systems) of a descriptor pointing to the buffer in which the identifier name is written.

resid


OpenVMS usage: rights_id
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64); by 32-bit reference (VAX)

Identifier value of the identifier name returned in nambuf. The resid argument is the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64 systems) or the 32-bit address (on VAX systems) of a longword containing the 32-bit code of the identifier.

attrib


OpenVMS usage: mask_longword
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64); by 32-bit reference (VAX)

Mask of attributes associated with the identifier returned in resid. The attrib argument is the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64 systems) or the 32-bit address (on VAX systems) of a longword containing the attribute mask.

Symbol values are offsets to the bits within the longword. You can also obtain the values as masks with the appropriate bit set using the prefix KGB$M rather than KGB$V. The following symbols for each bit position are defined in the system macro library ($KGBDEF):

Bit Position Meaning When Set
KGB$V_DYNAMIC Allows holders of the identifier to remove it from or add it to the process rights list using the DCL command SET RIGHTS_LIST.
KGB$V_NAME_HIDDEN Allows holders of an identifier to have it translated, either from binary to ASCII or vice versa, but prevents unauthorized users from translating the identifier.
KGB$V_NOACCESS Makes any access rights of the identifier null and void. This attribute is intended as a modifier for a resource identifier or the Subsystem attribute.
KGB$V_RESOURCE Allows holders of an identifier to charge disk space to the identifier. It is used only for file objects.
KGB$V_SUBSYSTEM Allows holders of the identifier to create and maintain protected subsystems by assigning the Subsystem ACE to the application images in the subsystem.

contxt


OpenVMS usage: context
type: longword (unsigned)
access: modify
mechanism: by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64); by 32-bit reference (VAX)

Context value used when repeatedly calling $IDTOASC. The contxt argument is the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64 systems) or the 32-bit address (on VAX systems) of a longword used while $IDTOASC searches for all identifiers. The context value must be initialized to the value 0, and the resulting context of each call to $IDTOASC must be presented to each subsequent call. After contxt is passed to $IDTOASC, you must not modify its value.

Description

The Translate Identifier to Identifier Name service translates the specified binary identifier value to an identifier name. While the primary purpose of this service is to translate the specified identifier to its name, you can also use it to find all identifiers in the rights database. Owner or read access to the rights database is required. To determine all the identifiers, call $IDTOASC repeatedly until it returns the status code SS$_NOSUCHID. When SS$_NOSUCHID is returned, $IDTOASC has returned all the identifiers, cleared the context value, and deallocated the record stream.

If you complete your calls to $IDTOASC before SS$_NOSUCHID is returned, use $FINISH_RDB to clear the context value and deallocate the record stream.

When you use wildcards with this service, the records are returned in identifier name order.

Required Access or Privileges

None, unless the id argument is NAME_HIDDEN, in which case you must hold the identifier or have read access to the rights list.

Required Quota

None

Condition Values Returned

SS$_NORMAL The service completed successfully.
SS$_ACCVIO The namlen, nambuf, resid, attrib, or contxt argument cannot be written by the caller.
SS$_INSFMEM The process dynamic memory is insufficient for opening the rights database.
SS$_IVCHAN The contents of the context longword are not valid.
SS$_IVIDENT The specified identifier is of invalid format.
SS$_NOIOCHAN No more rights database context streams are available.
SS$_NORIGHTSDB The rights database does not exist.
SS$_NOSUCHID The specified identifier name does not exist in the rights database, or the entire rights database has been searched if the ID is --1.

Because the rights database is an indexed file that you access with OpenVMS RMS, this service can also return RMS status codes associated with operations on indexed files. For descriptions of these status codes, refer to the OpenVMS Record Management Services Reference Manual.
