.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
These routines provide access to I/O in slave procs.
|
||
|
Since the I/O itself is done in a slave proc, other threads
|
||
|
in the calling proc can run while the calling thread
|
||
|
waits for the I/O to complete.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
.I Ioproc
|
||
|
forks a new slave proc and returns a pointer to the
|
||
|
.B Ioproc
|
||
|
associated with it.
|
||
|
.I Ioproc
|
||
|
uses
|
||
|
.I mallocz
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.IR proccreate ;
|
||
|
if either fails, it calls
|
||
|
.I sysfatal
|
||
|
rather than return an error.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
.IR Ioopen ,
|
||
|
.IR ioclose ,
|
||
|
.IR ioread ,
|
||
|
.IR ioreadn ,
|
||
|
.IR iowrite ,
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.IR iodial
|
||
|
execute the
|
||
|
similarly named library or system calls
|
||
|
(see
|
||
|
.IR open (2),
|
||
|
.IR read (2),
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.IR dial (2))
|
||
|
in the slave process associated with
|
||
|
.IR io .
|
||
|
It is an error to execute more than one call
|
||
|
at a time in an I/O proc.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
.I Iointerrupt
|
||
|
interrupts the call currently executing in the I/O proc.
|
||
|
If no call is executing,
|
||
|
.IR iointerrupt
|
||
|
is a no-op.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
.I Closeioproc
|
||
|
terminates the I/O proc and frees the associated
|
||
|
.B Ioproc .
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
.I Iocall
|
||
|
is a primitive that may be used to implement
|
||
|
more slave I/O routines.
|
||
|
.I Iocall
|
||
|
arranges for
|
||
|
.I op
|
||
|
to be called in
|
||
|
.IR io 's
|
||
|
proc, with
|
||
|
.I arg
|
||
|
set to the variable parameter list,
|
||
|
returning the value that
|
||
|
.I op
|
||
|
returns.
|
||
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
||
|
Relay messages between two file descriptors,
|
||
|
counting the total number of bytes seen:
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
.EX
|
||
|
.ta +\w'xxxx'u +\w'xxxx'u +\w'xxxx'u
|
||
|
int tot;
|
||
|
|
||
|
void
|
||
|
relaythread(void *v)
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
int *fd, n;
|
||
|
char buf[1024];
|
||
|
Ioproc *io;
|
||
|
|
||
|
fd = v;
|
||
|
io = ioproc();
|
||
|
while((n = ioread(io, fd[0], buf, sizeof buf)) > 0){
|
||
|
if(iowrite(io, fd[1], buf, n) != n)
|
||
|
sysfatal("iowrite: %r");
|
||
|
tot += n;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
closeioproc(io);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
void
|
||
|
relay(int fd0, int fd1)
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
int fd[4];
|
||
|
|
||
|
fd[0] = fd[3] = fd0;
|
||
|
fd[1] = fd[2] = fd1;
|
||
|
threadcreate(relaythread, fd, 8192);
|
||
|
threadcreate(relaythread, fd+2, 8192);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
.EE
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
If the two
|
||
|
.I relaythread
|
||
|
instances were running in different procs, the
|
||
|
common access to
|
||
|
.I tot
|
||
|
would be unsafe.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
