The transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) routines provide the developer with stratified levels of access to the transport layer. The highest-level routines provide complete abstraction from the transport and provide true transport-independence. Lower levels provide access levels similar to the TI-RPC of previous releases.
This section is an informal guide to porting transport-specific RPC (TS-RPC) applications to TI-RPC. Table 6–1 shows the differences between selected routines and their counterparts. For information on porting issues concerning sockets and transport layer interface (TLI), see the Oracle Solaris 11.2 Programming Interfaces Guide .
