Server

This example assumes that the transport provider supports orderly release. When all the data has been sent by the server, the connection is released as follows:

if (t_sndrel(conn_fd) == -1) {
   t_error("t_sndrel failed");
   exit(27);
}
pause(); /* until orderly release request arrives */

Orderly release requires two steps by each user. The server can call t_sndrel(). This routine sends a disconnect request. When the client receives the request, it can continue sending data back to the server. When all data have been sent, the client calls t_sndrel() to send a disconnect request back. The connection is released only after both users have received a disconnect request.

In this example, data is transferred only from the server to the client. So there is no provision to receive data from the client after the server initiates release. The server calls pause() after initiating the release.

The client responds with its orderly release request, which generates a signal caught by connrelease(). (In Example 3-7, the server issued an I_SETSIG ioctl() call to generate a signal on any incoming event.) The only XTI/TLI event possible in this state is a disconnect request or an orderly release request, so connrelease() exits normally when the orderly release request arrives. exit() from connrelease() closes the transport endpoint and frees the bound address. To close a transport endpoint without exiting, call t_close().
