svcudp_create

Name

svcudp_create --  create a UDP-based RPC service transport

Synopsis

SVCXPRT *

svcudp_create(int sock);

Description

The svcudp_create() function shall create a UDP/IP-based RPC service transport, and return a pointer to its descriptor. The transport is associated with the socket sock, which may be RPC_ANYSOCK, in which case a new socket shall be created. If the socket is not bound to a local UDP port, then svcudp_create() shall bind it to an arbitrary port.

If svcudp_create() returns successfully, then the xp_sock field in the result shall be the transport's socket descriptor, and the xp_port field shall be the transport's port number.

Return Value

Upon successful completion, svcudp_create() shall return a pointer to a RPC service transport; otherwise, a null pointer shall be returned.
