.SH DESCRIPTION

.P
The ixp_serve9conn handles incoming 9P connections. It is
ordinarily passed as the \fIread\fR member to \fBixp_listen(3)\fR with an
Ixp9Srv structure passed as the \fIaux\fR member. The handlers
defined in the Ixp9Srv structure are called whenever a matching
Fcall type is received. The handlers are expected to call
\fBixp_respond(3)\fR at some point, whether before they return or at
some undefined point in the future. Whenever a client
disconnects, libixp generates whatever flush and clunk events are
required to leave the connection in a clean state and waits for
all responses before freeing the connections associated data
structures.

.P
Whenever a file is closed and an \fBIxpFid(3)\fR is about to be freed,
the \fIfreefid\fR member is called to perform any necessary cleanup
and to free any associated resources.
