Detailed Description

Unidirectional bulk data transfer via shared memory.

Function Documentation

errval_t bulk_net_ep_create	(	struct bulk_net_endpoint_descriptor *	ep_desc,
		struct bulk_net_ep_setup *	setup
	)

Creates a new bulk endpoint which uses the network backend

Parameters

ep_desc	memory location to create the endpoint in
setup	the setup parameters for the endpoint

This function is intended to be used by the creator.

errval_t bulk_net_ep_create_remote	(	struct bulk_net_endpoint_descriptor *	ep_desc,
		struct bulk_net_ep_setup *	setup
	)

Explicitly creates a specific remote endpoint

Parameters

ep_desc	memory location to create the endpoint
ip	the ip of the server machine
port	the port where the otherside listens to

Explicitly creates a specific remote endpoint

Parameters

ep_desc	memory location to create the endpoint
ip	the ip of the server machine
port	the port where the otherside listens to

This is used to explicitly specify an endpoint to connect to. In the end, a nameservice like lookup should return the correct endpoint descriptor.

errval_t bulk_net_ep_destroy ( struct bulk_net_endpoint_descriptor * ep_desc )

Destroys the given endpoint

Parameters

ep_desc the endpoint to be destroyed
