Those are RPC server stubs (please read my talk on the hurd.gnu.org web site under Documentation). They are called by the server_routines (see the trivfs_demuxer, and the MiG generated ioServer.c stubs, for example). When a user makes a io_read() RPC on a translator provided port, the execution flow will eventually end up in trivfs_S_io_read (there is a thread in libports receiving messages, and then it goes through a few steps until it ends up there). > I have also problems in opening multithreaded translators > i.e. ports_manage_port_operations_multithread(......) > > I give hurd#> settrans -c trans /gnu/null > (null.c is launched as multithreaded in its code) > > But trans is not working! > > When i give ls -l trans, System does not respond and i > have to give CTRL-C to break it. What is /gnu/null? How did you produce the binary? Remember you can use gdb. I think you might have forgotten libshouldbeinlibc or so, in which case you get subtle problems at run time. > Where can i find code of more translator pgms? in the Hurd there are many, and some are posted occasionally on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wrote a run.c, and there is colortext, shadowfs, etc. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
