scl_netconfig(4scl)scl_netconfig(4scl)NAMEscl_netconfig - network configuration database for Solaris Compatibil‐
ity Libraries Remote Procedure Calls (SCL RPC) component
SYNOPSIS
/usr/opt/solcomplib/etc/scl_netconfig
DESCRIPTION
SCL RPC uses the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) API, and makes use of
the routines that are described in getnetconfig(3scl), to determine
which network interfaces are available for use with XTI.
On certain platforms, including Solaris systems, the file /etc/netcon‐
fig (see the Solaris man page netconfig(4)) lists the names of such
network interfaces. Since no such file is provided by Tru64 UNIX, rou‐
tines in the SCL RPC library look for a file called scl_netconfig
instead. This file should be located at in the etc directory beneath
the SCL root directory. By default, the SCL root directory is assumed
to be /usr/opt/solcomplib. Refer to scl_intro(3scl) for information on
how to use a different directory.
scl_netconfig is a text file containing information about each sup‐
ported XTI interface. The format of scl_netconfig is identical to the
netconfig file used on a Solaris system.
Each line in scl_netconfig (with the exception of those starting with a
hash symbol "#", which are treated as comments) provides information
about a single XTI interface. Lines are divided by white space into
seven fields, as follows:
A string used to uniquely identify the network. For example, udp or
tcp
A string defining the type of service provided by this communications
provider to XTI. There are three possible values:
connection-oriented service without orderly release (for example, OSI)
connectionless services (for example, UDP)
connection-oriented service with orderly release (for example, TCP)
For this release, the only valid flag is v, which means that the device
is visible to the routines described in getnetconfig(3scl)
For this release, the only string valid here is inet.
For this release, the strings tcp and udp are permitted
For SCL RPC on Tru64 UNIX, the device name here will be one of the
devices located in the /dev/streams/xtiso directory. Refer to the
Tru64 UNIX Network Programmer's Guide for information. Typical values
will be /dev/streams/xtiso/tcp+ or /dev/streams/xtiso/udp+
The name of a dynamic library which is used to perform lookups by XTI
routines for the specific network transport. For this release of SCL
RPC, the library sclrpcsupport.so should be specified. This library is
located in the same directory as the librpc.so SCL RPC shared library
(/usr/opt/solcomplib/shlib by default).
SCL IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
An example scl_netconfig file for Tru64 UNIX is provided with the SCL
distribution; this file is located in the examples/rpc directory
beneath the SCL root directory.
