ingea@IFI.UIO.NO (Inge Arnesen) (09/05/90)
FTP SW's development kit suprised me by being quite good. The manual is well
written and the API source code is included.
On one point I find the manual a bit confusing:
The set_option() call with the NET_OPT_TIMEOUT, used to set the timeout
value has a 32 value for specifying the timeout. But, should this value
be passed in the argument, or should a pointer to the timeout value be
passed.
The example on page 5-93 (2.04 dev kit) passes the timeout value directly:
set_option(nd, STREAM, NET_OPT_TIMEOUT, (time_t)5000, sizeof(time_t));
while the option section on page 5-90 mentions NET_OPT_TIMEOUT using a
"ptr to 32-bit value".
Can anybody tell me what the correct syntax is for the NET_OPT_TIMEOUT
option ?
BTW: Are there any plans for putting parts of the FTP SW TCP/IP kernel
data area into expanded memory (like 3Com has done with 3+OPEN) ?
If not, are there any other plans for making the evergrowing
TCP/IP kernel TSR a bit smaller. Some people do want to run other
programs than TELNET & FTP, you know :-)
