serverThe server object on which the accept was registered.
handleThe newly created handle that was created by the accept operation.
resultA result code indicating the success of the accept operation. GLOBUS_SUCCESS indicates a successful accept.

Function Documentation

globus_result_t globus_xio_attr_init ( globus_xio_attr_t *  attr)

Intialize a globus xio attribute.

Parameters:
attrupon return from this function this out parameter will be initialized. Once the user is finished with the attribute they should make sure they destroy it in order to free resources associated with it.

References globus_xio_attr_init().

globus_result_t globus_xio_attr_cntl ( globus_xio_attr_t  attr,
globus_xio_driver_t  driver,
int  cmd,
  ... 
)

Manipulate the values associated in the attr.

This function provides a means to access the attr structure. What exactly this function does is determined by the value in the parameter cmd and the value of the patameter driver. When the driver parameter is NULL it indicates that this function applies to general globus xio values. If it is not NULL it indicates that the function will effect driver specific values. Each driver is resonsible for defining its own enumeration of values for cmd and the var args associated with that command.

Parameters:
attrthe attribute structure to be manipulated.
driverThis parameter indicates which driver the user would like to perform the requested operation. If this parameter is NULL this request will be scoped to general attribure functions.
cmdan enum that determines what specific operation the user is requesting. Each driver will determine the value for this enumeration.

References globus_xio_attr_cntl().

globus_result_t globus_xio_attr_copy ( globus_xio_attr_t *  dst,
globus_xio_attr_t  src

References globus_xio_attr_copy().

globus_result_t globus_xio_attr_destroy ( globus_xio_attr_t  attr)

globus_xio_attr_t  attr,
globus_xio_callback_t  cb,
void *  user_arg 
)

Open a handleCreates an open handle based on the state contained in the given stack.

No operation can be preformed on a handle until it is initialized and then opened. If an already open handle used the information contaned in that handle will be destoyed.

Parameters:
handleThe handle created with globus_xio_handle_create() or globus_xio_server_register_accept() that is to be opened.
attrhow to open attribute. can be NULL
cbThe function to be called when the open operation completes.
user_argA user pointer that will be threaded through to the callback.
contact_stringAn url describing the resource. NULL is allowed. Drivers interpret the various parts of this url as descibed in their documentation. An alternative form is also supported: if contact_string does not specify a scheme (e.g. http://) and it contains a ':', it will be parsed as a host:port pair. if it does not contain a ':', it will be parsed as the path

the following are examples of valid formats:

    <path to file>
    host-name ":" <service or port>
    "file:" <path to file>
    <scheme> "://" [ "/" [ <path to resource> ]  ]
    <scheme> "://" location [ "/" [ <path to resource> ] ]
      location:
          [ auth-part ] host-part
      auth-part:
          <user> [ ":" <password> ] "@" 
      host-part:
          [ "<" <subject> ">" ] host-name [ ":" <port or service> ]
      host-name:
          <hostname> | <dotted quad> | "[" <ipv6 address> "]"
    

Except for use as the above delimeters, the following special characters MUST be encoded with the %HH format where H == hex char.

    "/" and "@" in location except subject
    "<" and ">" in location
    ":" everywhere except ipv6 address and subject
    "%" everywhere (can be encoded with %HH or %%)
