NAME

t_sndreldata - initiate or respond to an orderly release with user
data

SYNOPSIS

#include <xti.h>


int t_sndreldata(int fd, struct t_discon *discon);

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to initiate an orderly release of the outgoing
direction of data transfer and to send user data with the release.
The argument fd identifies the local transport endpoint where the
connection exists, and discon points to a t_discon structure
containing the following members:

struct netbuf udata;
int reason;
int sequence;


After calling t_sndreldata(), the user may not send any more data
over the connection. However, a user may continue to receive data if
an orderly release indication has not been received.


The field reason specifies the reason for the disconnection through
a protocol-dependent reason code, and udata identifies any user
data that is sent with the disconnection; the field sequence is not
used.


The udata structure specifies the user data to be sent to the remote
user. The amount of user data must not exceed the limits supported
by the transport provider, as returned in the discon field of the
info argument of t_open(3NSL) or t_getinfo(3NSL). If the len field
of udata is zero or if the provider did not return T_ORDRELDATA in
the t_open(3NSL) flags, no data will be sent to the remote user.


If a user does not wish to send data and reason code to the remote
user, the value of discon may be a null pointer.


This function is an optional service of the transport provider, only
supported by providers of service type T_COTS_ORD. The flag
T_ORDRELDATA in the info->flag field returned by t_open(3NSL) or
t_getinfo(3NSL) indicates that the provider supports orderly release
user data.


This function may not be available on all systems.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a
value of -1 is returned and t_errno is set to indicate an error.

VALID STATES

T_DATAXFER, T_INREL.

ERRORS

On failure, t_errno is set to one of the following:

TBADDATA
The amount of user data specified was not within the
bounds allowed by the transport provider, or user data
was supplied and the provider did not return
T_ORDRELDATA in the t_open(3NSL) flags.


TBADF
The specified file descriptor does not refer to a
transport endpoint.


TFLOW
O_NONBLOCK was set, but the flow control mechanism
prevented the transport provider from accepting the
function at this time.


TLOOK
An asynchronous event has occurred on this transport
endpoint and requires immediate attention.


TNOTSUPPORT
Orderly release is not supported by the underlying
transport provider.


TOUTSTATE
The communications endpoint referenced by fd is not in
one of the states in which a call to this function is
valid.


TPROTO
This error indicates that a communication problem has
been detected between XTI and the transport provider
for which there is no other suitable XTI error
(t_errno).


TSYSERR
A system error has occurred during execution of this
function.

TLI COMPATIBILITY

In the TLI interface definition, no counterpart of this routine was

NOTES

The interfaces t_sndreldata() and t_rcvreldata(3NSL) are only for use
with a specific transport called "minimal OSI," which is not
available on the Solaris platform. These interfaces are not available
for use in conjunction with Internet Transports (TCP or UDP).
