Hello
I am trying to learn RPC programming in Linux. I wrote the following .x file
struct Params
{
float a;
float b;
float c;
};
struct Result
{
float x1;
float x2;
};
program QUADRATIC_PROGRAM
{
version QUADRATIC_VERSION
{
Result QUADRATIC_PROCEDURE(Params) = 1;
} = 1;
} = 0x33000000;
and the following client program
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "quad.h"
int main(int argc,char** argv)
{
CLIENT* ClientHandle;
Result* OneResult;
Params OneEquation;
if (argc != 6)
puts("USAGE: client <server_host> <a> <b> <c> <protocol>");
else
{
OneEquation.a = atof(argv[2]);
OneEquation.b = atof(argv[3]);
OneEquation.c = atof(argv[4]);
printf("Processing for parameters %f:%f:%f\n",
OneEquation.a,OneEquation.b,OneEquation.c);
ClientHandle = clnt_create(argv[1],QUADRATIC_PROGRAM,
QUADRATIC_VERSION,argv[5]);
if (ClientHandle == NULL)
{
printf("Error acquiring client handle\n");
exit (0);
}
printf("Client Handle acquired for %s over %s\n",argv[1],
argv[5]);
if ((OneResult =
quadratic_procedure_1(&OneEquation,ClientHandle))
!= NULL)
{
printf("Roots are %f : %f\n",OneResult.x1,OeResult.x2);
}
else
printf("Error: %s\n",clnt_sperror(ClientHandle,argv[1]));
}
return(0);
}
I compiled the program using the following commands
g++ -c client.c
g++ -c quad_clnt.c
g++ -c quad_xdr.c
g++ client.o quad_clnt.o quad_xdr.o -o client -lnsl
NOW when I execute the program using the following command,
./client 127.0.0.1 1 0 -4 tcp
I cannot get a handle to the client
Can some one help
Thank you
OMAR.
