Tcl/Tk programs can act as XPA clients and/or servers using the Tcl interface to XPA that is contained in the libtclxpa.so shared object.

You can call XPANew(), XPACmdNew(), or XPAInfoNew() within a C routine to add C-based XPA server callbacks to a TCL/Tk program that uses a Tcl/Tk event loop (either vwait() or the Tk event loop); Such a program does not need or want to use the XPA event loop. Therefore, in order to add XPA access points to the Tcl/Tk loop, the following routine should be called beforehand:
int XPATclAddInput(XPA xpa);
Normally, the xpa argument is NULL, meaning that all current XPA access points are registered with the event loop. However, if a single XPA access point is to be added (i.e., after the event loop is started) then the handle of that XPA access point can be passed to this routine.
The significance of the XPA/TCL interface goes beyond the support for using XPA inside C code. The interface allows you to write XPA servers and to make calls to the XPA client interface within the Tcl environment using the Tcl language directly. The XPA/Tcl interface can be loaded using the following package command:
package require tclxpa 2.0Alternatively, you can load the shared object (called libtclxpa.so ) directly:
load .../libtclxpa.so tclxpa
Once the tclxpa package is loaded, you can use Tcl versions of XPA routines to define XPA servers or make client XPA calls. The interface for these routines is designed to match the Unix XPA interface as nearly as possible. Please refer to XPA Servers and XPA Clients for general information about these routines.
The file test.tcl in the XPA source directory gives examples for using the XPA/Tcl interface.
The following notes describe the minor differences between the interfaces.
set xpa [xpanew class name help sproc sdata smode rproc rdata rmode]
rproc and sproc routines are routines. The calling sequence of the rproc routine is identical to its C counterpart:
proc rec_cb { xpa client_data paramlist buf len } { ... }
The sproc routine, however is slightly different from its C counterpart because of the difficulty of passing data back from the callback to C:
proc sendcb { xpa client_data paramlist } { ... }
Note that the C-based server's char **buf and int *len arguments are missing from the Tcl callback. This is because we did not know how to fill buf with data and pass it back to the C routines for communication with the client. Instead, the Tcl server callback uses the following routine to set buf and len:
xpasetbuf xpa buf lenwhere:
arg explanation ------ ----------- xpa the first argument of the server callback buf the data to be returned to the client len data length in bytes, (if absent, use length of the buf object)
When this routine is called, a copy of buf is saved for transmission to the client.
The fact that buf is duplicated means that TCL server writers might wish to perform the I/O directly within the callback, rather than have XPA do it automatically at the end of the routine. To do this, set:
fillbuf=false
in the xpanew smode and then perform I/O through the Tcl channel obtained from:
set dchan [xparec $xpa datachan]
where:
arg explanation ------ ----------- xpa the first argument of the server callback datachan literal string "datachan" that returns the data channel len data length in bytes, (if absent, use length of the buf object)
NB: datachan and cmdchan are not available under Windows. It is necessary to use the "raw" equivalents: datafd and cmdfd.
The same considerations apply to the rproc for receive servers: a copy of the incoming data is generated to pass to the receive callback. This copy again can be avoided by using "fillbuf=false" in the rmode and then reading the incoming data from datachan.
The send and receive callback routines can use the xpaerror and xpamessage routines to send errors and messages back to the client. If you also want tcl itself to field an error condition, use the standard return call:
return ?-code c? ?-errorinfo i? ?-errorcode ec? string
See the Tcl man page for more info.
The Tcl xparec procedure supplies server routines with access to information that is available via macros in the C interface:
set val [xparec xpa <option>]
where option is: name, class, method, cmdfd, datafd, cmdchan, datachan. Note that two additional identifiers, cmdchan and datachan, have been added to to provide Tcl channels corresponding to datafd and cmdfd. (These latter might still be retrieved in Tcl and passed back to a C routines.) An additional option called "version" can be used to determine the XPA version used to build the Tcl interface. Note that the standard options require a valid XPA handle, but "version" does not (since it simply reports the value of the XPA_VERSION definition in the XPA source include file).
NB: datachan and cmdchan are not available under Windows. It is necessary to use the "raw" equivalents: datafd and cmdfd.
macro explanation ------ ----------- class class of this xpa name name of this xpa method method string (inet or local connect info) cmdchan Tcl channel of command socket datachan Tcl channel of data socket cmdfd fd of command socket datafd fd of data socket sendian endian-ness of server ("little" or "big") cendian endian-ness of client ("little" or "big" version XPA version used to build this code
Under Windows, the Tcl event handler cannot automatically sense when an XPA socket is ready for IO (i.e. Tcl_CreateFileHandler() is not available under Windows). The Windows Tcl event handler therefore must be awakened occasionally for check for XPA events. This is done using the standard Tcl_SetMaxBlockTime() call. The time parameter is defined in tclloop.c and is currently set to 1000 microseconds (1/1000 of a second).
The version option can be used to differentiate between source code versions. It was created to support legacy Tcl code that needs to maintain the 2.0.5 calling sequence for xpaaccess. You can use a version test such as:
if [catch { xparec "" version } version] { puts "pre-2.1.0e" } else { puts [split $version .] }Last updated: September 10, 2003
