RFLAT (2)
Tag and load storage on LAM remote nodes.
SYNOPSIS
0
int rflat (int node, char *buffer, int ld_length, int ma_length, int tag);
int rflclean (int node, int tag);
1
ARGUMENTS
node
where data will be stored
buffer
ld_length
length of data to be stored
ma_length
length of storage to allocate
tag
label to assign to remote storage for future reference
DESCRIPTION
The
tag
serves as a symbolic name, and is not related to the actual
address of the allocated remote storage.
The
flat
daemon remembers the tag.
A later call to rget(2) can retrieve the actual address of the storage.
The
ld_length
and
ma_length
arguments are almost always set to the same value.
A larger value for
ma_length
(the only other possibility)
allows extra contiguous storage to be allocated but not loaded.
The
rflclean()
function frees any storage associated with the flat tag.
It also deletes the flat tag.
ERRORS
ENOFLDESCRIPTORS
The table of storage addresses (kept by the
flat
server) is full.
