9P Protocol Drivers
|
|
.PP
|
|
The file server described so far
|
|
waits for 9P protocol messages to
|
|
appear in its input queue.
|
|
It processes each message and
|
|
sends the reply back to the originator.
|
|
There are groups of processes that
|
|
perform protocol I/O on some network or
|
|
device and the resulting messages
|
|
are sent to the file system queue.
|
|
.PP
|
|
There are two sets of processes
|
|
.CW ethi
|
|
and
|
|
.CW etho
|
|
that perform Ethernet input and output on two different networks.
|
|
These processes send Ethernet messages
|
|
to/from two more processes
|
|
.CW ilo
|
|
and
|
|
.CW ilt
|
|
that do the IL reliable datagram protocol
|
|
on top of IP packets.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The last process in Emelie,
|
|
.CW con ,
|
|
reads the console
|
|
and calls internal subroutines to
|
|
executes commands typed.
|
|
Since there is only one process,
|
|
only one command can be executing at a
|
|
time.
|
|
See
|
|
.I fs (8)
|
|
for a description of the
|
|
commands available at the console.
