Hi Renaud: TIPC uses the ancillary data capability of the socket interface to allow applications to gain additional info about an incoming message, such as the error code describing why a rejected message was returned. (The TIPC Programmer's Guide provides more info in section 2.1.12.) Most designers probably won't make use of this capability, but it can be very useful in some instances.
It would be very helpful to have this capability in the Solaris port somewhere along the line, but I wouldn't classify it as essential for the first release.

Looks like this differs a lot from Linux. What are these ancillary datas used to? And are they of any use for TIPC? thanks, -- Renaud ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
