The following paragraphs describe the syntax of IPCINT commands. This includes:
- Abbreviations for the intrinsics.
- Pseudovariables for socket descriptors.
- Prompts for parameters.
- Call user data field.
Abbreviated Intrinsic Names
The IPCINT program uses abbreviations for NetIPC intrinsics.
Table A-1 "NetIPC Intrinsics IPCINT
Abbreviations" shows the supported IPC intrinsics and the IPCINT
abbreviations.
Table A-1 NetIPC Intrinsics IPCINT Abbreviations
| Intrinsic |
IPCINT Abbreviation |
| IPCCREATE | CR |
IPCNAME | NAME |
IPCNAMERASE | NAMERASE |
| IPCDEST | DEST |
| IPCGIVE | GIVE |
IPCGET | GET |
IPCCONNECT | CN |
IPCRECVCN | RCN |
IPCRECV | R |
IPCSEND | S |
IPCCONTROL | CTR |
IPCSHUTDOWN | SHUT |
IOWAIT | WAIT |
IODONTWAIT | NOWAIT |
IPCCHECK | CHECK |
IPCERRMSG | ERR |
Pseudovariables
Three pseudovariables are used by IPCINT to store the most recently assigned
socket descriptors as follows:
Pseudovariable socket descriptor
-------------- -----------------
C call
D destination
V virtual circuit
The pseudovariable names can be overridden by the user.
Prompts for Parameters
When you enter the IPCINT abbreviation for the selected intrinsic, IPCINT
prompts you for the required parameter values which you then enter from the
keyboard. Default values are provided for most input parameters. The parameter
names correspond approximately to those used in the reference portion of this
manual. IPCINT prompts for X.25 opt array parameters without
your having to use the INITOPT or ADDOPT intrinsics. You are
also prompted for X.25 flags parameter bit settings. Prompts
requiring a Y/N (yes/no) answer default to N (no).
Output parameters are displayed on the screen following execution of the
called intrinsic.
Call User Data Field
The call user data field can be entered as a concatenated ASCII string
enclosed in single quotes. Hexadecimal digits can be included in an ASCII
string by preceding the digits with an h. For example, h45'hello'h10 can be
entered which represents a string of hexadecimal 45, the word "hello" followed
by hexadecimal 10.
