FunctionThe vn_sendtorcvfm operation sends
datagrams to or receives datagrams from a socket. The socket can
be connected or unconnected.
Input parameter formatvn_sendtorcvfm (Token_structure,
OSI_structure,
Audit_structure,
Open_flags,
User_IO_structure,
Flags,
Sockaddr_length,
Sockaddr,
Return_value,
Return_code,
Reason_code)
Parameters- Token_structure
- Supplied parameter
- Type:
- TOKSTR
- Length:
- Specified by TOKSTR.ts_hdr.cblen.
The Token_structure represents the file (vnode)
that is being operated on. It contains the PFS's initialization token,
mount token, and the file token. Refer to LFS/PFS control block structure for
a discussion of this structure, and to the TOKSTR typedef in BPXYPFSI
in Interface structures for C language servers and clients for its mapping.
- OSI_structure
- Supplied and returned parameter
- Type:
- OSI
- Length:
- Specified by OSI.osi_hdr.cblen.
The OSI_structure contains information that is
used by the OSI operations that may be called by the PFS. See OSI services for more information.
It also contains
MVS-specific information that needs to be passed to the PFS, including
SMF accounting fields, a work area, a recovery area, and an optional
pointer to an output ATTR structure. For more details on the OSI structure,
see The OSI structure.
This area is mapped by
the OSI typedef in BPXYPFSI in Interface structures for C language servers and clients.
- Audit_structure
- Supplied parameter
- Type:
- CRED
- Length:
- Specified by CRED.cred_hdr.cblen.
The Audit_structure contains information that is
used by the security product for access checks and auditing. It is
passed to most SAF routines that are invoked by the PFS.
Refer
to Security responsibilities and considerations for a discussion of security processing,
and to the CRED typedef in BPXYPFSI in Interface structures for C language servers and clients for
the mapping of this structure.
- Open_flags
- Supplied parameter
- Type:
- Structure
- Length:
- Fullword
A fullword that contains the bits that are associated
with the socket. The defined values for this field are mapped by fcntl.h.
- User_IO_structure
- Supplied and returned parameter
- Type:
- UIO
- Length:
- Specified by UIO.u_hdr.cblen.
An area that contains the parameters for the I/O
that is to be performed. This area is mapped by the UIO typedef in
the BPXYVFSI header file (see Interface structures for C language servers and clients). For
more information about how the fields in this structure are processed,
see the section on specific implementation notes in Implementation notes.
- Flags
- Supplied parameter
- Type:
- Structure
- Length:
- Fullword
A fullword that indicates special processing requests.
The defined values for this field are mapped by socket.h.
- Sockaddr_length
- Supplied and returned parameter
- Type:
- Integer
- Length:
- Fullword
A fullword that supplies the length of the Sockaddr
buffer and returns the length of the Sockaddr structure that is returned.
- Sockaddr
- Supplied and returned parameter
- Type:
- Structure
- Length:
- Specified by Sockaddr_length
A structure that varies depending on the address
family type. It contains the address that is to be used for this
operation. For an example of this mapping for AF_INET, see in.h.
- Return_value
- Returned parameter
- Type:
- Integer
- Length:
- Fullword
A fullword in which the vn_sendtorcvfm operation
returns the results of the operation, as one of the following: - Return_value
- Meaning
- -1
- The operation was not successful. The Return_code and Reason_Code
values must be filled in by the PFS when Return_value is -1.
- 0 or greater
- The operation was successful. The value represents the number
of bytes that were transferred.
- Return_code
- Returned parameter
- Type:
- Integer
- Length:
- Fullword
A fullword in which the vn_sendtorcvfm operation
stores the return code. The vn_sendtorcvfm operation returns Return_code
only if Return_value is -1. For a complete list of
supported return code values, see z/OS UNIX System Services Messages and Codes.
The vn_sendtorcvfm operation should support at least the
following error values: Return_code |
Explanation |
---|
EFAULT |
A buffer address that was specified was not in addressable
storage. |
EINVAL |
The length that was specified was incorrect. |
EWOULDBLOCK |
The operation would have required a blocking wait, and this
socket was marked as nonblocking. |
- Reason_code
- Returned parameter
- Type:
- Integer
- Length:
- Fullword
A fullword in which the vn_sendtorcvfm operation
stores the reason code. The vn_sendtorcvfm operation returns Reason_code
only if Return_value is -1. Reason_code further
qualifies the Return_code value. These reason codes are documented
by the PFS.
Implementation notes- Overview of vn_sendtorcvfm processing
For more information about the semantics of this operation
for a POSIX-conforming PFS, refer to the publications that are mentioned
in Finding more information about sockets for the recvfrom() and sendto() functions.
- Specific processing notes
- The following UIO fields are provided by the LFS:
- UIO.u_hdr.cbid
- Contains UIO_ID (from the BPXYVFSI header file)
- UIO.u_hdr.cblen
- Specifies the length of the user_IO_structure
- UIO.u_buffaddr
- Specifies the address of the caller's buffer
- UIO.u_buffalet
- Specifies the ALET of the caller's buffer
- UIO.u_count
- Specifies the maximum number of bytes that can be written to the
caller's buffer
- UIO.u_asid
- Specifies the ASID of the caller
- UIO.u_rw
- Specifies whether the request is a read (0) or a write (1)
- UIO.u_key
- Specifies the storage key of the caller's buffer
- The UIO contains fields that may point to a 64-bit addressable
user buffer. When FuioAddr64 is on (and FuioRealPage is off), FuioBuff64Vaddr
points to a buffer, an IOV64, or an MSGH64.
- Serialization provided by the LFS
The vn_sendtorcvfm operation is invoked with an exclusive latch
held on the vnode of the socket.
- Security calls to be made by the PFS
- None.
