Terminating a connection

After the REXEC server has given an indication of the remote process termination, the client is expected to acknowledge and, optionally, to request the return of any type-ahead characters sent to the server process but not consumed. This is done using the rx_ack_exit routine.

int	cnum;		/* connection number */

#define	TABUFLEN	100

main()
{
	char	ta_buf[TABUFLEN];	/* type-ahead buffer */
	int	ta_len;		/* number of type-ahead chars returned */
.
.
.
	ta_len = rx_ack_exit(cnum, ta_buf, TABUFLEN);
}
