TCP/IP and IO$_SELECT?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Hi!
 
I'm trying to port Tcl/Tk 8.0p2 to OpenVMS. A
current port uses Multinet for the socket support,
but I have to use UCX. Everything goes quite OK
until I try to use the function:
 
sys$qio(flag, statePtr->fd, IO$_SELECT, ...
 
The compiler complains because IO$_SELECT is not
defined. In which include file is it defined? Is
there a way to find such things like
"grep 'IO$_SELECT' /usr/include/*.h" in Unix?
 
Thank you very much in advance!

The Answer is :

 
  The OpenVMS Wizard does not recognize the IO$_SELECT function code.
  Perchange it is part of the old INETDRIVER QIO interface or part of
  the MultiNet package.
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard would encourage moving to the standard TCP/IP
  interface, either the socket library or the TCP/IP BGDRIVER sys$qio
  interfaces.
