void ixp_serve9conn(IxpConn *c);

DESCRIPTION¶

The ixp_serve9conn handles incoming 9P connections. It is ordinarily passed as the read member to ixp_listen(3) with an Ixp9Srv structure passed as the aux member. The handlers defined in the Ixp9Srv structure are called whenever a matching Fcall type is received. The handlers are expected to call ixp_respond(3) 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. Whenever a file is closed and an IxpFid(3) is about to be freed, the freefid member is called to perform any necessary cleanup and to free any associated resources.
