NAME

zx25send_int - Send Interrupt data on a Virtual Circuit

SYNOPSIS

#include  <zcom/zcomsys.h>
#include <zcom/zcomx25.h>

int zx25send_int (zxip, vzap, ibuf, len)
zx25info_type *zxip;
zaddr_type *vzap;
char *ibuf;
int len;

DESCRIPTION

Routine zx25send_int requests that an Interrupt packet be sent on a Virtual Circuit. This function should only be called if the Virtual Circuit has already been setup. If the Link is configured for 1980 operations, you can send only 1 byte of data. If the LINK is configured for 1984 operations, you can send up to 32 bytes of data. You are not allowed to send another Interrupt packet until you receive an Interrupt Confirmation OR the Confirmation times out.

The libraries libzx25.a, libzcom_c.a, and libpthread.a must be linked into the calling program by giving the "-lzx25 -lzcom_c -lpthread" options to cc(1) or ld(1).

Threads Considerations

This routine may be called from a multi-threaded application using the POSIX (1003.1c) kernel threads API package. It has the following characteristics when called by multi-threaded applications:

cancellation point

Thread cancellation can occur when a thread calls this routine.

async-cancel unsafe

The calling thread's cancelability type must be PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED if cancellation is enabled.

async-signal unsafe

It cannot be called from a signal handler.

fork unsafe

It cannot be called by a child process after fork(2) but before exec(2).

See the NOTES section that follows for more information on using this routine in a multi-threaded application.

PARAMETERS:

zxip

ZCOM X.25 access data structure (from zx25info call).

vzap

ZCOM address of the Virtual Circuit terminal.

ibuf

Buffer to send (character array).

len

Length in Bytes to be sent

RETURN VALUE

Routine zx25send_int returns a 0 when successful. If there was a ZCOM error, it returns a negative value. See /opt/acc/include/zcom/zcomsys.h for the list of ZCOM error codes and their meanings. If zx25int_conf itself failed, one of the following positive error codes is returned:

ZxeUNKNOWN_L2_ZLU (02)

Unable to find the X.25 link ZLU for this SVC ZLU.

ZxeINVALID_STATE (06)

The ZLU specified is not in the data transfer state.

ZxeLINK_IS_DOWN (11)

The X.25 link is down. Unable to send acknowledgment to D-bit data packet.

ZxeUNKNOWN_VC_ZLU (13)

The ZLU specified is not an X.25 Virtual Circuit ZLU.

ZxeMUST_CALL_ZX25INFO (17)

The zx25info() routine has not been called. You must call zx25info before issuing any other zx25...() calls.

ZxeBAD_ZX25INFO_ADDR (18)

The pointer to the zx25info_type structure does not contain the same address that was passed to the zx25info() routine.

ZxeX25_NOT_INITIALIZED (98)

The ACC X.25 subsystem has not been initialized. You must run zx25d_init before issuing any zx25...() calls.

ZxeX25_TBL_FULL (99)

The X.25 routines maintain an internal table for accessing remote ZCOM nodes. This table has room to access up to 20 different ZCOM nodes (including the local node). This request attempted to access the 21st ZCOM remote node and the internal table used had insufficient space to save the routing data.

NOTES

The calling program (or thread) must call zx25info before calling this routine. In a multi-threaded application, each thread must make a separate call to zx25info using a per-thread ZCOM X.25 access data buffer zxip. The per-thread data buffer can then be used to call this routine.

EXAMPLE

#include    <zcom/zcomsys.h>
#include <zcom/zcomx25.h>

int ierr;
zx25info_type *zxi;
zaddr_type *vzaddr;
char ibuf[32]
int len;

if (ierr = zx25send_int (zxi, vzaddr, ibuf, len))) {
/* error return code */
}
else {
/* good return code */
}

FILES

/opt/acc/include/zcom/zcomsys.h

ZCOM system general include file, containing data types, data structures, constants, error codes, masks, etc. Note that this must be the first include file before any other ZCOM include files.

/opt/acc/include/zcom/zcomx25.h

ZCOM X.25 access data structure declarations.
