446.0. "nsrfile and tarasm documentation??" by CSCMA::CLARK () Fri Feb 28 1997 05:47
Hi,
I have a customer asking questions about ASM writing, nsrfile, and
tarasm, for example:
- "How does an ASM plug into NSR?"
- "nsrfile (called by tarasm) - what is it - what does it do?"
- "If he wrote an ASM to plug into NSR, would it get called
recursively or just once, in other words, how would
NSR call/treat his ASM?"
From reading the DECnsr notes, it appears that there is no
documentation on writing ASM's and neither nsrfile or tarasm is
documented.
Does the doc for ASM writing and/or tarasm and/or nsrfile now exist?
Or is there anyone to contact or communicate with to get this
information?
Thanks for your help,
Ann Clark

| nsrfile is basically a connector module which takes a datastream
on stdin and handles the details of interfacing with the rest
of NetWorker. The contents of the datastream are treated as completely
opaque. (We do not examine them at all.)
tarasm is one example of a shell-based asm which uses nsrfile to connect
into NetWorker.
Neither of these are documented or supported.
If you wish to create your own, simply use tarasm as a template/example
and go from there.
