DAT_RETURN
dat_psp_create_any(

IN DAT_CONN_QUAL conn_qual,
IN DAT_EVD_HANDLE evd_handle,
IN DAT_PSP_FLAGS psp_flags,
OUT DAT_PSP_HANDLE *psp_handle
)
PARAMETERS
ia_handle
Handle for an instance of DAT IA.
conn_qual
Connection Qualifier of the IA on which the Public Ser‐
vice Point is listening.
evd_handle
Event Dispatcher that provides the Connection Requested
Events to the Consumer. The size of the event queue for
the Event Dispatcher controls the size of the backlog for
the created Public Service Point.
psp_flags
Flag that indicates whether the Provider or Consumer cre‐
ates an Endpoint per arrived Connection Request. The
value of DAT_PSP_PROVIDER indicates that the Consumer
wants to get an Endpoint from the Provider; a value of
DAT_PSP_CONSUMER means the Consumer does not want the
Provider to provide an Endpoint for each arrived Connec‐
tion Request.
psp_handle
Handle to an opaque Public Service Point.
DESCRIPTION
The dat_psp_create_any() function creates a persistent Public Service
Point that can receive multiple requests for connection and generate
multiple Connection Request instances that are delivered through the
specified Event Dispatcher in Notification events.
The dat_psp_create_any() function allocates an unused Connection Quali‐
fier, creates a Public Service point for it, and returns both the allo‐
cated Connection Qualifier and the created Public Service Point to the
Consumer.
The allocated Connection Qualifier should be chosen from "nonprivi‐
leged" ports that are not currently used or reserved by any user or
kernel Consumer or host ULP of the IA. The format of allocated Connec‐
tion Qualifier returned is specific to IA transport type.
The dat_psp_create_any() function is blocking. When the Public Service
Point is created, DAT_SUCCESS is returned, psp_handle contains a handle
to an opaque Public Service Point Object, and conn_qual contains the
allocated Connection Qualifier. When return is not DAT_SUCCESS,
psp_handle and conn_qual return values are undefined.
There is no explicit backlog for a Public Service Point. Instead, Con‐
sumers can control the size of backlog through the queue size of the
associated Event Dispatcher.
The psp_flags parameter allows Consumers to request that the Provider
create an implicit Endpoint for each incoming Connection Request, or
request that the Provider should not create one per Connection Request.
If the Provider cannot satisfy the request, the operation shall fail
and DAT_MODEL_NOT_SUPPORTED is returned.
All Endpoints created by the Provider have DAT_HANDLE_NULL for the
Protection Zone and all Event Dispatchers. The Provider sets up End‐
point attributes to match the Active side connection request. The Con‐
sumer can change Endpoint parameters. Consumers should change Endpoint
parameters, especially PZ and EVD, and are advised to change parameters
for local accesses prior to the connection request acceptance with the
Endpoint.
RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS
The operation was successful.
DAT_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES
The operation failed due to resource lim‐
itations.
DAT_INVALID_HANDLE
The ia_handle or evd_handle parameter is
invalid.
DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER
The conn_qual or psp_flags parameter is
invalid.
DAT_CONN_QUAL_UNAVAILABLE
No Connection Qualifiers available.
DAT_MODEL_NOT_SUPPORTED
The requested Model was not supported by
the Provider.
