Applications which need the portmapper can start this -task by calling: - int rtems_rpc_start_portmapper (int priority); -The return value is an RTEMS status code. - -Multi-threaded operation -======================== -The RPC/XDR package has been modified to allow for multiple RTEMS -tasks to use RPC/XDR routines. If more than one task is to call -an RPC/XDR routine, the additional tasks must call: - int rtems_rpc_task_init(void); -before calling any RPC/XDR routines. For example, the portmapper -calls this routine since the portmapper uses RPC/XDR routines in -a separate thread. -The return value is an RTEMS status code. - - -Porting Notes -============= -Most of the FreeBSD rpc library ports to RTEMS with little -or no modification beyond that required to provide for operation -in a multitasking environment. Multitasking operation was -provided by moving all `static persistence' variables into -a single structure and using an RTEMS task variable to point -to that structure. - -Some of the library, however, has not made it into the RTEMS -implementation. FreeBSD source files which have been left out include: -- Files which provide RPC to the AF_UNIX address family: - clnt_unix.c - svc_unix.c - An `ifndef __rtems__' was added to clnt_generic.c because clnt_unix.c - was omitted. -- Files which need NIS: - auth_time.c -- Files which provide DES authentication: - auth_des.c - authdes_prot.c - crypt_client.c - des_crypt.c - des_soft.c - getpublickey.c - key_call.c - key_prot_xdr.c - svc_auth_des.c - -The FreeBSD xdr source compiles and runs on RTEMS without modification. - -The original source was obtained from: - ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ - branches/4.0-stable/src/lib/libc/rpc - branches/4.0-stable/src/lib/libc/xdr - branches/4.0-stable/src/include/rpc - branches/4.0-stable/src/include/rpcsvc |
