RFLAT(2) LAM REMOTE LIBRARY RFLAT(2)NAMErflat - Tag and load storage on LAM remote nodes.
SYNOPSIS
int rflat (int node, char *buffer, int ld_length, int ma_length, int
tag);
int rflclean (int node, int tag);
ARGUMENTS
node where data will be stored
buffer data to be stored
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 ad‐
dress 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) al‐
lows 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.
