srv_run

Description

Start up the Open Server application.

Syntax

CS_RETCODE srv_run(ssp)

SRV_SERVER     *ssp;

Parameters

ssp: A pointer to the Open Server control structure. This is an optional argument.

Returns

**Table 3-111: Return values (srv_run)**
Returns	To indicate
CS_SUCCED	The server is stopped.
CS_FAIL	Open Server could not start the server. If srv_run returns CS_FAIL, an application must call srv_init before calling srv_run again.

Examples

Example 1

#include     <ospublic.h>

/*

** Local Prototype.

*/

CS_RETCODE       ex_srv_run PROTOTYPE((CS_VOID));

/*

** EX_SRV_RUN

**   An example routine to start up an Open Server using srv_run.

**

** Arguments:

**   None.

**

** Returns:

**    SRV_STOP    If the server is stopped.

**    CS_FAIL     If the server can’t be brought up.

*/

CS_RETCODE ex_srv_run()

      return(srv_run((SRV_SERVER *)NULL));

Usage

srv_run starts, or restarts, the Open Server application.
srv_run returns when the server is stopped by a SRV_STOP event.
Once started, the server listens for a client request, calls the function defined to handle the request, and then continues listening for further requests.
If a server has stopped, it must be re-initialized using srv_init before it is restarted.

If srv_run is called in the entry functions of a DLL, a deadlock may arise. srv_run creates operating system threads and tries to synchronize them using system utilities. This synchronization conflicts with the operating system’s serialization process.
