Additions to the XTI Interface

The XNS 5 (UNIX03) standard introduces some new XTI interfaces and are described in the following list. For more information, refer to the relevant manual pages. These interfaces are not available for TLI users. The scatter-gather data transfer interfaces are:

t_sndvudata()

Send a data unit from one or more non-contiguous buffers. For more information, see the t_sndvudata(3C) man page.

t_rcvvudata()

Receive a data unit into one or more non-contiguous buffers. For more information, see the t_rcvvudata(3C) man page.

t_sndv()

Send data or expedited data from one or more non-contiguous buffers on a connection. For more information, see the t_sndv(3C) man page.

t_rcvv()

Receive data or expedited data sent over a connection and put the data into one or more non-contiguous buffers. For more information, see the t_rcvv(3C) man pagees.

The XTI utility interface t_sysconf() gets configurable XTI variables. The t_sndreldata() interface initiates and responds to an orderly release with user data. The t_rcvreldata() receives an orderly release indication or confirmation containing user data. For more information, see the t_sysconf(3C), t_sndreldata(3C), and t_rcvreldata(3C) man pages.

Note:

The additional interfaces t_sndreldata() and t_rcvreldata() are used only with a specific transport called minimal OSI, which is not available on the Oracle Solaris platform. These interfaces are not available for use in conjunction with Internet Transports (TCP or UDP).
