ONC+ Developer's Guide Oracle Solaris 11.1 Information Library |
1. Introduction to ONC+ Technologies
4. Programmer's Interface to RPC
5. Advanced RPC Programming Techniques
6. Porting From TS-RPC to TI-RPC
7. Multithreaded RPC Programming
8. Extensions to the Oracle Solaris RPC Library
The ONC+ Developer's Guide describes the programming interfaces to remote procedure call (RPC) which belongs to the ONC+ distributed services developed at Oracle Corporation.
The guide assists you in converting an existing single-computer application to a networked, distributed application, or developing and implementing distributed applications.
Use of this guide assumes basic competence in programming, a working familiarity with the C programming language, and a working familiarity with the UNIX operating system. Previous experience in network programming is helpful, but is not required to use this manual.
Chapter 1, Introduction to ONC+ Technologies gives a high-level introduction to the ONC+ distributed computing platform and services.
Chapter 2, Introduction to TI-RPC introduces TI-RPC.
Chapter 3, rpcgen Programming Guide describes how the rpcgen tool generates client and server stubs.
Chapter 4, Programmer's Interface to RPC describes the use of RPC in the programming environment.
Appendix A, XDR Technical Note describes XDR and how it is used in data formatting and type conversion.
Appendix B, RPC Protocol and Language Specification describes the protocol of RPC usage, both syntax and limitations.
Appendix C, XDR Protocol Specification describes the XDR protocol and language.
Appendix D, RPC Code Examples contains complete functional listings of some of the code included in the document as examples.
Appendix E, portmap Utility describes the portmap utility and its function. This appendix is included in this document to aid in the migration of applications written to run on earlier Oracle Solaris releases.
