t_accept --
accept a connect request
Synopsis
cc [options] file -lnsl
#include <xti.h>
int t_accept(int fd, int resfd, struct t_call call)
Description
This function is one of the TLI/XTI routines used to establish a transport
connection.
It is invoked by an active transport user, following a call to
t_listen, to accept a connection request from the transport
interface and provide the information needed to complete a virtual connection.
It may also be used to pass a connection to another endpoint.
This function is a service of connection-mode transport
providers and is supported only if the provider returned
service type T_COTS or T_COTS_ORD
on t_open or t_getinfo.
A transport user may accept a connection on either the same
or local transport endpoint or on an endpoint different than
the one on which the connect indication arrived.
Before the connection can be accepted on the same endpoint
(resfd==fd), the user must have responded to any
previous connect indications received on that endpoint
(via t_accept or t_snddis).
Otherwise, t_accept will fail and set t_errno
to T_INDOUT.
If a different transport endpoint is specified (fd!=resfd),
then the user may or may not choose to bind the endpoint before
t_accept is issued.
If the endpoint is not bound, then the transport provider will
automatically bind it to the same protocol address that
fd is bound to.
If the user chooses to bind to a local address, then
qlen
must be zero for that protocol address, and the state of the
endpoint must be T_IDLE.
t_accept will change the address of resfd to be
the same as that of fd.
For portability, the first alternative is recommended.
Parameters
fd-
the file descriptor for the local transport endpoint where the
connect request arrived.
resfd-
file descriptor for the local transport endpoint on which the
connection is to be established.
call-
points to the t_call structure used to complete the
connection.
Structure definitions
The t_call structure contains the following members:
struct netbuf addr; /* address */
struct netbuf opt; /* options */
struct netbuf udata; /* user data */
int sequence; /* sequence number */
netbuf is described in
intro(NET).
In t_call, addr
is the address of the caller,
opt
indicates any protocol-specific options associated
with the connection, udata
points to any user data to be
returned to the caller, and sequence is the value returned
by t_listen that uniquely associates the response with a
previously received connect indication.
The values of parameters specified by opt
and the syntax of those values are protocol specific.
The udata
argument enables the called transport user to send user
data to the caller and the amount of user data must not exceed the limits
supported by the transport provider as returned in the ``connect'' field
of the info argument of t_open or t_getinfo.
If the ``len'' field of udata
is 0, no data will be sent to the caller.
State transitions
fd-
T_INCON on entry.
T_INCON,
T_IDLE or T_DATAXFER on exit.
resfd-
T_IDLE, T_UNBND on entry.

Usage
When t_accept fails with a client timeout, this may
be an indication that the client connection needs to be extended
or that the server delay (between t_listen and t_accept)
should be reduced.
A server application may retry t_accept unless a
TOUTSTATE or TSYSERR error is received.
If the user does not specify protocol-specific options (the ``len''
field of opt
is 0), it is assumed that the connection should
accepted unconditionally.
Options other than the defaults may be selected
by the transport provider to ensure that the connection is accepted
successfully.
Return values
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and
t_errno is set to indicate the error.
Errors
On failure, t_errno may be set to one of the following:
TBADF-
The specified file descriptor does not refer to a transport endpoint,
or the user is invalidly accepting a connection on the same
transport endpoint on which the connect indication arrived.
TOUTSTATE-
The function was issued in the wrong sequence
on the transport endpoint referenced by fd,
or the transport endpoint referred to by resfd is not
in the T_IDLE state.
TACCES-
The user does not have permission to accept a connection on the
responding transport endpoint or use the specified options.
TBADOPT-
The specified options were in an incorrect format or contained invalid
information.
TBADDATA-
The amount of user data specified was not within the bounds
supported by
the transport provider as returned in the ``connect'' field of the
info argument of t_open or t_getinfo.
TBADSEQ-
An invalid sequence number was specified.
TBADADDR-
The specified protocol address was in an incorrect format or
contained illegal information.
TLOOK-
An asynchronous event has occurred on the transport endpoint
referenced by fd and requires
immediate attention.
t_accept will fail and set t_errno
to TLOOK
when fd is not the same as resfd and
there are indications (for example, a connect or disconnect)
waiting to be received on that endpoint.
TNOTSUPPORT-
This function is not supported by the underlying transport
provider.
TSYSERR-
A system error has occurred during execution of this function.
TINDOUT-
The function was called with fd equal to resfd but
there are outstanding connection indications on the endpoint.
The other connection indications must be handled either by
rejecting them via t_snddis or accepting them via
t_accept.
TPROVMISMATCH-
The file descriptors fd and resfd do not
refer to the same transport provider.
TRESQLEN-
The endpoint referenced by resfd where resfd!=fd
was bound to a protocol address with a qlen
greater than 0.
TRESADDR-
This transport provider requires that both fd and resfd
be bound to the same address.
TPROTO-
A communication problem has been detected with the transport provider
and there is no other value of t_errno to describe
the error condition.
