Calls the remote procedure associated with the clnt parameter.
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
enum clnt_stat clnt_call (clnt, procnum, inproc, in, outproc, out, tout) CLIENT *clnt; u_long procnum; xdrproc_t inproc; char *in; xdrproc_t outproc; char *out; struct timeval tout;
The clnt_call macro calls the remote procedure associated with the client handle pointed to by the clnt parameter.
| clnt | Points to the structure of the client handle that results from a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) client creation subroutine, such as the clntudp_create subroutine that opens a User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol (UDP/IP) socket. |
| procnum | Identifies the remote procedure on the host machine. |
| inproc | Specifies the procedure that encodes the procedure's parameters. |
| in | Specifies the address of the procedure's arguments. |
| outproc | Specifies the procedure that decodes the procedure's results. |
| out | Specifies the address where results are placed. |
| tout | Sets the time allowed for results to return. |
This macro is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
The callrpc subroutine, clnt_perror subroutine, clnttcp_create subroutine, clntudp_create subroutine.
