Optional parameters don't exist in C!!!! Parameters are always mandatory, but it is possible to have some value indicating 'not set', usually that is NULL if the parameter type is a pointer-type, in other cases it is some value that would be illegal (e.g. -1 if the type is int, and the value must be positive). And, it is very clear too that all these parameters need to be mandatory. Higher level code may have a default for server, and would then specify that default value when calling this one. Okay, Roelof, you take the rest :-P Btw. I did not study anything of the design in detail yet, I'm going to do that the next few hours!! > 2) disconnect(connection), first closes all SwitchBoard (SB) > connections, then closes the connection to the Notification Server (NS) > - I don't know if closing all the SB connections is a good idea.
