6.15 Using the TYPE
Parameter in UBBCONFIG
The TYPE
parameter in the MACHINES
section of a configuration file specifies the invocation of the External Data Representation (XDR) encode/decode routines when messages are passed between unlike machines. The term “unlike” applies even to machines of the same type if the compiler on each machine is different. In such a case, give each machine a unique TYPE
string to force every message to go through the encode/decode routines.
