@node !Tools.Networking.Interchange
This package defines a collection of types for data interchange.
Each type has:
o A local representation dependent on the characteristics of the
local architecture and compiler
o A machine-independent interchange representation (as a byte
sequence)
This package provides operations for converting between the local
and interchange representations. The types provided are analogous
to types in the Ada predefined language environment (packages
Standard and Calendar; see the Rational Environment Reference
Manual, Programming Tools (PT book). The conversion operations are
generic on a procedural byte stream, so that they can be used on a
variety of interchange media (communication channels, tapes, and
disks).
The interchange representation does not carry type information.
Thus, to convert interchanged data back to their local
representations, their types must be known beforehand.
The interchange representation largely follows the rules of
Courier, the Xerox System Integration Standard for remote
procedure call protocol. In particular, all interchange values
are a multiple of two bytes (16 bits) in length. Values that
occupy several bytes are represented with their most significant
byte first.
The algorithms for conversion to and from the interchange form can
be extended to any Ada type except access values and task types.
The rules for forming new type conversion algorithms are:
o A discrete (integer subtype or enumeration type) is represented
by its 'Pos, converted to a Short_Integer type. This
representation rule is implemented by the generic package
Operations.Discrete.
o A vector (one-dimensional array) is represented by its 'Length,
followed by its elements in index order. The 'Length is
represented as a Natural subtype. This kind of representation
loses information about the 'First of the vector (as does Ada
slice assignment). This representation rule is implemented by
the generic package Operations.Vector.
o A record is represented by the sequence of its fields, in
the order of their declaration. Inaccessible fields in
variant records are omitted. In other words, the interchange
representation is ordered in the same way as its value would be
written as an Ada aggregate.
@node !Tools.Networking.Interchange.Byte
subtype Byte is Byte_Defs.Byte;
Defines an eight-bit byte.
The interchange representation is like a Short_Integer type.
@node !Tools.Networking.Interchange.Byte_String
subtype Byte_String is Byte_Defs.Byte_String;
Defines a string of bytes indexed by Standard.Integer.
The interchange representation is a byte count (represented as
an Integer type) followed by the bytes themselves in index order.
The bytes are packed so that consecutive bytes in the string are
represented as consecutive bytes in the interchange form. An
extra padding byte is added if the string contains an odd number of
bytes. This padding makes the entire value a multiple of two bytes
in length.
@node !Tools.Networking.Interchange.Constraint_Error
Constraint_Error : exception;
Occurs when an interchange conversion procedure encounters an
out-of-range value.
This exception is analogous to the Standard.Constraint_Error
exception.

chosen to be as large as possible.
The interchange representation is of arbitrary precision. Thus,
as many bytes are used as are required to contain the value,
represented as a Byte_String subtype (a byte count followed by
the bytes). Two's-complement notation is used.

The generic formal parameters define an abstract byte stream and
operations for interchanging bytes on it. To function, a stream
must not lose bytes and must deliver bytes in order.
A stream must perform fragmentation and reassembly. That is, the
sequence of operations:
Put (Into, Data (1 .. X));
Put (Into, Data (X + 1 .. N));
must be equivalent to the single operation:
Put (Into, Data (1 .. N));
for any value of X in the range 1 .. N. Likewise, the sequence of
operations:
Get (From, Data (1 .. X));
Get (From, Data (X + 1 .. N));
must be equivalent to the single operation:
Get (From, Data (1 .. N));
for any value of X in the range 1 .. N.

This package is used by RPC servers to manage the tasks providing
an RPC service.
The specification of the package is:
with Transport;
with Transport_Defs;
generic
with procedure Serve (Connection : Transport.Connection_Id) is <>;
package Transport_Server is
type Pool_Id is private;
function Create (Network : Transport_Defs.Network_Name;

@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server.Create
function Create
(Network : Transport_Defs.Network_Name;
Local_Socket : Transport_Defs.Socket_Id;
Max_Servers : Natural := Natural'Last)
return Pool_Id;
Creates a pool of server tasks.
Each pool contains a waiter task that waits for incoming
connections on the specified network and local socket. The waiter
task starts waiting when the pool is created.
When a connection arrives, a server task is allocated to serve it.
The server task calls the Serve procedure and passes it the newly
arrived connection. When the Serve procedure returns, there is
nothing more to be done with the connection. The server task then
closes the connection and terminates.
The waiter task continues to wait for more incoming connections.
In addition, the waiter task keeps track of the number of active
servers. If this number reaches the given Max_Servers limit, the
waiter task stops waiting for incoming connections.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server.Finalize
procedure Finalize (Abort_Servers : Boolean := False);
Terminates all tasks dependent on this instantiation of package
Transport_Server and closes all transport connections.
This procedure permits the caller to exit the scope in which
package Transport_Server was instantiated. See the Ada Language
Reference Manual, Section 9.4.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server.Local_Socket
function Local_Socket (Pool : Pool_Id) return Transport_Defs.Socket_Id;

incoming connections.
This value is set when the pool is created.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server.Max_Servers
function Max_Servers (Pool : Pool_Id) return Natural;
Returns the maximum number of server tasks that can be active
simultaneously in the given pool.
This value is initialized when the pool is created and subsequently
can be set by the user.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server.Network
function Network (Pool : Pool_Id) return Transport_Defs.Network_Name;
Returns the network on which the given pool waits for incoming
connections.
This value is set when the pool is created.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server.Pool_Id
type Pool_Id is private;
Identifies a pool of server tasks.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server.Serve
procedure Serve (Connection : Transport.Connection_Id) is <>;
Serves a connection.
This procedure is called once for each incoming connection. The
tasks that call the Serve procedure are created and managed by
manipulating pool objects.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server.Servers
function Servers (Pool : Pool_Id) return Natural;
Returns the number of server tasks currently active in the given
pool.
This number is initially 0. The value increases each time a
connection arrives and decreases each time a server terminates.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server.Set_Max_Servers
procedure Set_Max_Servers (Pool : Pool_Id;
Max_Servers : Natural);
Sets the maximum number of server tasks that can be active in the
given pool.
Once the number of active servers reaches this limit, the pool's
waiter task stops waiting for incoming connections.
If the Max_Servers parameter is set to a number less than the
current number of active servers, the existing servers will
continue to run until they terminate by themselves.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server_Job
This package handles the creation of server jobs in response
to incoming connections. The algorithm used for serving each
connection is supplied by the user as a generic parameter.
This package is used by RPC servers to manage the jobs providing a
RPC service.
The specification of the package is:
with Transport;
with Transport_Defs;
package Transport_Server_Job is
generic
Network : Transport_Defs.Network_Name;
Local_Socket : Transport_Defs.Socket_Id;
with procedure Server_Start;
with procedure Serve (Connection : Transport.Connection_Id);
procedure Server_Generic;
procedure Change_Identity (Username : String;
Password : String);
end Transport_Server_Job;
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server_Job.Change_Identity
procedure Change_Identity (Username : String;
Password : String);
Sets the calling job's access control identity to the specified
username and password.
If Username = Password = "", the calling job's identity is set
back to its original value---that is, the identity with which the
job was first run.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server_Job.Local_Socket
Local_Socket : Transport_Defs.Socket_Id;
Denotes a socket within the context of a machine.
For TCP/IP, the socket identifier is a TCP port number.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server_Job.Network

This procedure is called once for each incoming connection.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Server_Job.Server_Generic
procedure Server_Generic;
Waits for an incoming request for connection on the specified
network and local socket.
When a connection request arrives, this procedure executes
procedures Server_Start and Serve(Connection). The procedure
repeats this process until the local socket is in use, and then it
returns.

procedure Server_Start;
Starts another server job, using the network specified by the
Network parameter at the socket specified by the Local_Socket
parameter.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream
This package handles the details of allocating and using transport
connections.
A transport stream combines a transport connection with some
buffering and provides a simplified transmit/receive interface.
This package provides a facility for creating pools of streams.
Allocating and deallocating streams occurs very quickly and
introduces little overhead. If a stream remains deallocated for a
few minutes, the transport connection associated with it is closed.
This package is useful for programs needing to communicate with
another machine, without setting up and disconnecting transport
connections, or for handling transport status codes.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Allocate
procedure Allocate (Stream : out Stream_Id;
Connection : Transport.Connection_Id);
Creates a stream without a pool around the given connection.
The connection is closed when the stream is deallocated.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Allocate
procedure Allocate (Stream : out Stream_Id;
Is_New : out Boolean;
Network : Transport_Defs.Network_Name;
Host : Transport_Defs.Host_Id;
Socket : Transport_Defs.Socket_Id);

combination.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Allocate
procedure Allocate (Stream : out Stream_Id;
Pool : Pool_Id;
Is_New : out Boolean);
Locates an idle stream from the specified pool.
If no idle stream is available, the procedure sets up an idle
stream, opens and connects a transport connection, and returns
Is_New = True.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Connection
function Connection (Stream : Stream_Id) return Transport.Connection_Id;
Returns the transport connection to which the stream is bound.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Create
function Create (Network : Transport_Defs.Network_Name;
Remote_Host : Transport_Defs.Host_Id;
Remote_Socket : Transport_Defs.Socket_Id;
Local_Socket : Transport_Defs.Socket_Id
:= Transport_Defs.Null_Socket_Id) return Pool_Id;
Creates a pool of active streams.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Deallocate
procedure Deallocate (Stream : Stream_Id);
Returns a stream to its pool.
Once a stream has been deallocated, it must not be used
subsequently because it may be reallocated to another program.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Destroy
procedure Destroy (Pool : Pool_Id);
Disconnects all streams in the pool and terminates all tasks
associated with the pool.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Disconnect
procedure Disconnect (Stream : Stream_Id);
Disconnects the transport connection to which the stream is bound.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Finalize
procedure Finalize;
Destroys all pools and terminates all tasks.
This procedure is used when exiting a subprogram in which package
Transport_Stream (and by extension the tasks within it) was
elaborated. See the Ada Language Reference Manual, Section 9.4.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Flush_Receive_Buffer
function Flush_Receive_Buffer (Stream : Stream_Id)
return Byte_Defs.Byte_String;

This procedure does not return until all buffered data have been
transmitted.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Get_User_Id
function Get_User_Id (Stream : Stream_Id) return Integer;
Returns the User_Id integer that is associated with the current
stream.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Not_Connected
Not_Connected : exception;
Occurs when an attempt is made to operate on a unconnected stream.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Pool_Id
type Pool_Id is private;
Identifies a pool of streams.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Receive
procedure Receive (From : Stream_Id;
Data : out Byte_Defs.Byte_String);
Receives data over a transport stream.
This call does not return until Data'Length bytes are received.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Scavenge
procedure Scavenge (Pool : Pool_Id);
Disconnects any deallocated streams in the pool.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Scavenge
procedure Scavenge;
Scavenges all pools for unused streams.
Periodically, a task within package Transport_Stream automatically
scavenges all pools.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Set_User_Id
procedure Set_User_Id (Stream : Stream_Id;
User_Id : Integer := 0);
Maps the stream identification number to a user identification
number.
The user identification number is not used by package
Transport_Stream but is provided so that you can associate higher-
level information with each stream.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Stream_Id
type Stream_Id is private;
Identifies a data pipe, called a stream, consisting of a transport
connection and some associated buffers.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Transmit
procedure Transmit (Into : Stream_Id;
Data : Byte_Defs.Byte_String);
Transmits data over a transport stream.
The given data are either transmitted or stored in a buffer
for later transmission. The buffer can be cleared using the
Flush_Transmit_Buffer procedure.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Unique
function Unique (Stream : Stream_Id) return Unique_Id;
Converts the stream identification number to a unique number.
Stream_Id is a private type and its image cannot be obtained
directly. Converting Stream_Id to Unique_Id provides a handle
to allow you to use the identification number for printing hash
tables, for example.
@node !Tools.Networking.Transport_Stream.Unique_Id
subtype Unique_Id is Integer;
Identifies a unique value of the stream identification number.
The unique identification number can be used as a handle for
printing hash tables, for example.
