DESCRIPTION:

Frequently asked Questions on Solaris 2.x, in the area of networks -
Questions on RPC and TLI


SOLUTION:

1) We are using the TLI functions such as t_open and t_bind in one of
   our programs.  When we do a t_bind call, why do we get an M_DATA ioctl
   rather than an M_PROTO? Do you intend to do this permanently?

   The t_bind() function does local management, so M_DATA ioctl is an
   appropriate message block. 


2) I'm looking for RPC development kit for Macintosh.  Can you help?

   You probably could get those informations by calling 'Apple'. 


3) Does Solaris 2.1 support XTI or TLI interfaces?

   Solaris 2.1 support TLI and will support XTI in the near future.  Please
   see "Solaris 2.1 Standards Conformance Guide".  You can do a search of
   'TLI' on AnswerBook. 


4) Does SunOS 4.1 support XTI or TLI interfaces?

  It supports TLI interfaces.  Please see man pages of 't_open', 't_bind',
  't_snd', 't_close' ...  etc.
