dump_socket_status
NAME
dump_socket_status() - display the status of each LPC socket
SYNOPSIS
void dump_socket_status( void );
DESCRIPTION
dump_socket_status() is a diagnostic facility which displays the cur‐
rent status of all LPC sockets configured into the MudOS driver. It is
useful for debugging LPC sockets applications. Each row in the output
corresponds to a single LPC socket. The first row corresponds to LPC
socket descriptor 0, the second row, 1, etc. The total number of sock‐
ets is configured when the driver is built.
The first column "Fd" is the operating system file descriptor associ‐
ated with the LPC socket. "State" is the current operational state of
the LPC socket. "Mode" is the socket mode, which is passed as an argu‐
ment to socket_create(). The local and remote addresses are the Inter‐
net address and port numbers in Internet dot notations. '*' indicates
an address or which is 0. N.B. LPC sockets that are in the CLOSED
state are not currently in use; therefore the data displayed for that
socket may be idiosyncratic.
The following output was generated on Portals, where the only socket
application running at the time was MWHOD. It indicates that two sock‐
ets are current in use, one is listening for connection requests on a
STREAM mode socket. The other is waiting for incoming data on a DATA‐
GRAM mode socket.
