1316.0. "ULTRIX..What does MCC provide programmer?" by EMASS::FLETCHER (Robin G. Fletcher, SWS -> WAO) Tue Aug 06 1991 11:12

    What document (if one exists) do I refer to when looking for any
    MCC routine that operates on sockets or memory mgt?
    
    I have done a 
    % ar -tv mcc_exec.a
    and saw that a routine like mcc_cea_open_s????? exists and
    mcc_cea_bind_s????? exists BUT where is it documented on how
    to use them?  Are their call arguments the same and a standard
    bind() or open()?
    
    What document lists all the routines provided for the programmer
    in /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/lib ?

1316.1mcc_cea... are internal routines/modules of MCC_EA*CHRISB::BRIENENDECmcc Bridge|Station|SNMP Management.Tue Aug 06 1991 14:4010
"mcc_cea_open_s..." and "mcc_cea_bind_s..." are some internal modules/routines
of the MCC_EA Exec Common Routines on DECmcc/Ultrix.

They are described in the Ethernet Access Routines Design Document, but
are not intended for general use.

Documentation of how to use the MCC_EA* Routines is provide in the
DECmcc SRM.

1316.2no MCC requirements imposedEMASS::FLETCHERRobin G. Fletcher, SWS -> WAOWed Aug 07 1991 08:315
    So the opening and use of sockets has NO MCC requirements for 
    special processing considerations?

That depends on what kind of sockets you're using.  The MCC_EA routines are
using the special ULTRIX Data Link Interface sockets.  If you're using
those, you REALLY should use MCC's Ethernet Access Routines which, as Chris
pointed out, are documented in the SRM.  If you just want generic sockets,
then that's another story, which I'll let one of the kernel team answer.
