LAPSAFE

The LAPSAFE feature does not export an API directly. It modifies the function and semantics of local access point creation and invocation. In particular, it enables the K_LAP_SAFE option (see svLapCreate(2K)), which causes validity checking to be turned on for an individual LAP. If a LAP is invalid or has been deleted, lapInvoke() will fail cleanly with an error return. Furthermore, the svLapDelete() call will block until all pending invocations have returned. This option allows a LAP to be safely withdrawn even when client actors continue to exist. It is useful for clean shutdown and reconfiguration of servers.

The LAPSAFE feature is a prerequisite for HOT_RESTART.
