Detailed Description

Remote procedure call services via PLP

rpcs provides an interface for communicating with the Psion's remote procedure call service. The generic facilities for both, EPOC and SIBO are implemented here, while the facilities, unique to each of those variants are implemented in rpcs32 or rpcs16 respectively. These normally are instantiated by using rpcsfactory .

Enum<rfsv::errs>  quitServer (void)

Requests the remote server to terminate.

This function is working with both SIBO and EPOC devices. There is usually no need to call this function, because the remote server is automatically stopped on disconnect.

processName of process. Format: processname.$pid
retThe program name and arguments are returned here.

Returns: Psion error code. 0 = Ok.

Enum<rfsv::errs>  configOpen (u_int16_t &handle, u_int32_t size)

[protected virtual]

Prepare scratch RAM in Series 5 for read/write

This function works with EPOC only. Using it with SIBO machines, returns always an error code E_PSI_NOT_SIBO. It prepares a scratch area on the EPOC machine for a following use from within rpcs::configRead or rpcs::configWrite . These functions call rpcs::closeHandle on exit. The contents of the scratch area is stored in RAM of the Series 5, therefore it gets lost when the Series 5 is switched off.

Parameters:
handleThe handle to be used in rpcs::configRead , rpcs::configWrite and rpcs::closeHandle is returned here.
sizeThe number of bytes you want to use.

Returns: A psion error code. 0 = Ok.

bool  sendCommand (enum commands cc, bufferStore &data)

[protected]

Sends a command to the remote side.

If communication fails, a reconnect is triggered and a second attempt to transmit the request is attempted. If that second attempt fails, the function returns an error an sets rpcs::status to E_PSI_FILE_DISC.

Parameters:
ccThe command to execute on the remote side.
dataAdditional data for this command.

Returns: true on success, false on failure.

Enum<rfsv::errs>  getResponse (bufferStore &data, bool statusIsFirstByte)
