pblock
Appendix A Data Structure Reference 313
pblock
The parameter block is the hash table that holds
pb_entry
structures. Its contents
are transparent to most code. This data structure is frequently used in NSAPI; it
provides the basic mechanism for packaging up parameters and values. There are
many functions for creating and managing parameter blocks, and for extracting,
adding, and deleting entries. See the functions whose names start with
pblock_
in
Chapter 5, “NSAPI Function Reference.” You should not need to write code that
access
pblock
data fields directly.
pb_entry
The
pb_entry
is a single element in the parameter block.
typedef struct {
/* Information about the remote client */
pblock *client;
/* The socket descriptor to the remote client */
SYS_NETFD csd;
/* The input buffer for that socket descriptor */
netbuf *inbuf;
/* Raw socket information about the remote */
/* client (for internal use) */
struct in_addr iaddr;
} Session;
