pfm_inhibit(3ncs) [ultrix man page]

pfm_inhibit(3ncs)														 pfm_inhibit(3ncs)

Name
       pfm_inhibit - inhibit asynchronous faults

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/base.h>
       #include <idl/c/pfm.h>

       void pfm_$inhibit()

Description
       The  routine prevents asynchronous faults from being passed to the calling process.  While faults are inhibited, the operating system holds
       at most one asynchronous fault.	Consequently, a call to can result in the loss of some signals.  It is good  practice  to  inhibit  faults
       only  when  absolutely  necessary.   This routine has no effect on the processing of synchronous faults such as floating-point and overflow
       exceptions, access violations, and so on.

socket_family_from_name(3ncs)											     socket_family_from_name(3ncs)

Name
       socket_family_from_name - convert an address family name to an integer

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/socket.h>

       unsigned long socket_$family_from_name(name, nlength, status)
       socket_$string_t name;
       unsigned long nlength;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       name		   The textual name of an address family.  Currently, only ip is supported.

       nlength		   The length, in bytes, of name.

       status		   The	completion status. If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it
			   was successful.

Description
       The routine returns the integer representation of the address family specified in the text string name.

Examples
       The server program for the banks example, accepts a textual family name as its first argument.  The program uses the following  routine	to
       convert this name to the corresponding integer representation:
       family = socket_$family_from_name
		     (argv[1], (long)strlen(argv[1]), &status);
