NAME
cpp - C Pre-Processor
SYNOPSIS
cpp [-options] [infile [outfile]]
DESCRIPTION
CPP reads a C source file, expands macros and include files, and
writes an input file for the C compiler. If no file arguments are
given, CPP reads from stdin and writes to stdout. If one file
argument is given, it will define the input file, while two file
arguments define both input and output files. The file name "-" is
a synonym for stdin or stdout as appropriate.
The following options are supported. Options may be given in either
case.
-C If set, source-file comments are written to the
output file. This allows the output of CPP to be
used as the input to a program, such as lint, that
expects commands embedded in specially-formatted
comments.
-Dname=value Define the name as if the programmer wrote
#define name value
at the start of the first file. If "=value" is not
given, a value of "1" will be used.
On non-unix systems, all alphabetic text will be
forced to upper-case.
-E Always return "success" to the operating system, even
if errors were detected. Note that some fatal
errors, such as a missing #include file, will
terminate CPP, returning "failure" even if the -E
option is given.
-Idirectory Add this directory to the list of directories
searched for #include "..." and #include <...>
commands. Note that there is no space between the
"-I" and the directory string. More than one -I
command is permitted. On non-Unix systems
"directory" is forced to upper-case.
-N CPP normally predefines some symbols defining the
target computer and operating system. If -N is
specified, no symbols will be predefined. If -N -N
is specified, the "always present" symbols, __LINE__,
__FILE__, and __DATE__ are not defined.
-P Do not output #line directives.
-Stext CPP normally assumes that the size of the target
computer's basic variable types is the same as the
size of these types of the host computer. (This can
be overridden when CPP is compiled, however.) The -S
option allows dynamic respecification of these
values. "text" is a string of numbers, separated by
commas, that specifies correct sizes. The sizes must
be specified in the exact order:
char short int long float double
If you specify the option as "-S*text", pointers to
these types will be specified. -S* takes one
additional argument for pointer to function (e.g.
int (*)())
For example, to specify sizes appropriate for a
PDP-11, you would write:
c s i l f d func
-S1,2,2,2,4,8,
-S*2,2,2,2,2,2,2
Note that all values must be specified.
-Uname Undefine the name as if
#undef name
were given. On non-Unix systems, "name" will be
forced to upper-case.
-Xnumber Enable debugging code. If no value is given, a value
of 1 will be used. (For maintenence of CPP only.)
PRE-DEFINED VARIABLES
When CPP begins processing, the following variables will have been
defined (unless the -N option is specified):
Target computer (as appropriate):
pdp11, vax, M68000 m68000 m68k
Target operating system (as appropriate):
rsx, rt11, vms, unix
Target compiler (as appropriate):
decus, vax11c
The implementor may add definitions to this list. The default
definitions match the definition of the host computer, operating
system, and C compiler.
The following are always available unless undefined (or -N was
specified twice):
__FILE__ The input (or #include) file being compiled (as a
quoted string).
__LINE__ The line number being compiled.
__DATE__ The date and time of compilation as a Unix ctime
quoted string (the trailing newline is removed).
Thus,
printf("Bug at line %s,", __LINE__);
printf(" source file %s", __FILE__);
printf(" compiled on %s", __DATE__);
DRAFT PROPOSED ANSI STANDARD CONSIDERATIONS
The current version of the Draft Proposed Standard explicitly states
that "readers are requested not to specify or claim conformance to
this draft." Readers and users of Decus CPP should not assume that
Decus CPP conforms to the standard, or that it will conform to the
actual C Language Standard.
When CPP is itself compiled, many features of the Draft Proposed
Standard that are incompatible with existing preprocessors may be
disabled. See the comments in CPP's source for details.
The latest version of the Draft Proposed Standard (as reflected in
Decus CPP) is dated November 12, 1984.
Comments are removed from the input text. The comment is replaced
by a single space character. The -C option preserves comments,
writing them to the output file.
The '$' character is considered to be a letter. This is a permitted
extension.
The following new features of C are processed by CPP:
#elif expression (#else #if)
'\xNNN' (Hexadecimal constant)
'\a' (Ascii BELL)
'\v' (Ascii Vertical Tab)
#if defined NAME 1 if defined, 0 if not
#if defined (NAME) 1 if defined, 0 if not
#if sizeof (basic type)
unary +
123U, 123LU Unsigned ints and longs.
12.3L Long double numbers
token#token Token concatenation
#include token Expands to filename
The Draft Proposed Standard has extended C, adding a constant string
concatenation operator, where
"foo" "bar"
is regarded as the single string "foobar". (This does not affect
CPP's processing but does permit a limited form of macro argument
substitution into strings as will be discussed.)
The Standard Committee plans to add token concatenation to #define
command lines. One suggested implementation is as follows: the
sequence "Token1#Token2" is treated as if the programmer wrote
"Token1Token2". This could be used as follows:
#line 123
#define ATLINE foo#__LINE__
ATLINE would be defined as foo123.
Note that "Token2" must either have the format of an identifier or
be a string of digits. Thus, the string
#define ATLINE foo#1x3
generates two tokens: "foo1" and "x3".
If the tokens T1 and T2 are concatenated into T3, this
implementation operates as follows:
1. Expand T1 if it is a macro.
2. Expand T2 if it is a macro.
3. Join the tokens, forming T3.
4. Expand T3 if it is a macro.
A macro formal parameter will be substituted into a string or
character constant if it is the only component of that constant:
#define VECSIZE 123
#define vprint(name, size) \
printf("name" "[" "size" "] = {\n")
... vprint(vector, VECSIZE);
expands (effectively) to
vprint("vector[123] = {\n");
Note that this will be useful if your C compiler supports the new
string concatenation operation noted above. As implemented here, if
you write
#define string(arg) "arg"
... string("foo") ...
This implementation generates "foo", rather than the strictly
correct ""foo"" (which will probably generate an error message).
This is, strictly speaking, an error in CPP and may be removed from
future releases.
ERROR MESSAGES
Many. CPP prints warning or error messages if you try to use
multiple-byte character constants (non-transportable) if you #undef
a symbol that was not defined, or if your program has potentially
nested comments.

NAME
rpcgen - an RPC protocol compiler
SYNOPSIS
rpcgen infile
rpcgen [-Dname[=value]] [-T] [-K secs] infile
rpcgen -c|-h|-l|-m|-t [-o outfile ] infile
rpcgen [-I] -s nettype [-o outfile] infile
rpcgen -n netid [-o outfile] infile
DESCRIPTION
rpcgen is a tool that generates C code to implement an RPC protocol.
The input to rpcgen is a language similar to C known as RPC Language
(Remote Procedure Call Language).
rpcgen is normally used as in the first synopsis where it takes an
input file and generates up to four output files. If the infile is
named proto.x, then rpcgen will generate a header file in proto.h,
XDR routines in proto_xdr.c, server-side stubs in proto_svc.c, and
client-side stubs in proto_clnt.c. With the -T option, it will also
generate the RPC dispatch table in proto_tbl.i. With the -Sc
option, it will also generate sample code which would illustrate how
to use the remote procedures on the client side. This code would be
created in proto_client.c. With the -Ss option, it will also
generate a sample server code which would illustrate how to write
the remote procedures. This code would be created in proto_server.c.
The server created can be started both by the port monitors (for
example, inetd or listen) or by itself. When it is started by a
port monitor, it creates servers only for the transport for which
the file descriptor 0 was passed. The name of the transport must be
specified by setting up the environmental variable PM_TRANSPORT.
When the server generated by rpcgen is executed, it creates server
handles for all the transports specified in NETPATH environment
variable, or if it is unset, it creates server handles for all the
visible transports from /etc/netconfig file. Note: the transports
are chosen at run time and not at compile time. When the server is
self-started, it backgrounds itself by default. A special define
symbol RPC_SVC_FG can be used to run the server process in
foreground.
The second synopsis provides special features which allow for the
creation of more sophisticated RPC servers. These features include
support for user provided #defines and RPC dispatch tables. The
entries in the RPC dispatch table contain:
+ pointers to the service routine corresponding to that
procedure,
+ a pointer to the input and output arguments
+ the size of these routines
A server can use the dispatch table to check authorization and then
to execute the service routine; a client library may use it to deal
with the details of storage management and XDR data conversion.
The other three synopses shown above are used when one does not want
to generate all the output files, but only a particular one. Some
examples of their usage is described in the EXAMPLE section below.
When rpcgen is executed with the -s option, it creates servers for
that particular class of transports. When executed with the -n
option, it creates a server for the transport specified by netid.
If infile is not specified, rpcgen accepts the standard input.
The C preprocessor, ccp, is run on the input file before it is
actually interpreted by rpcgen. For each type of output file,
rpcgen defines a special preprocessor symbol for use by the rpcgen
programmer:
RPC_HDR defined when compiling into header files
RPC_XDR defined when compiling into XDR routines
RPC_SVC defined when compiling into server-side stubs
RPC_CLNT defined when compiling into client-side stubs
RPC_TBL defined when compiling into RPC dispatch tables
Any line beginning with `%' is passed directly into the output file,
uninterpreted by rpcgen.
For every data type referred to in infile, rpcgen assumes that there
exists a routine with the string xdr_ prepended to the name of the
data type. If this routine does not exist in the RPC/XDR library,
it must be provided. Providing an undefined data type allows
customization of XDR routines.
The following options are available:
-a Generate all the files including sample code for client and
server side.
-b This generates code for the SunOS4.1 style of rpc. It is for
backward compatibilty. This is the default.
-5 This generates code for the SysVr4 style of rpc. It is used by
the Transport Independent RPC that is in Svr4 systems. By
default rpcgen generates code for SunOS4.1 stype of rpc.
-c Compile into XDR routines.
-C Generate code in ANSI C. This option also generates code that
could be compiled with the C++ compiler. This is the default.
-k Generate code in K&R C. The default is ANSI C.
-Dname[=value]
Define a symbol name. Equivalent to the #define directive in the
source. If no value is given, value is defined as 1. This
option may be specified more than once.
-h Compile into C data-definitions (a header file). -T option can
be used in conjunction to produce a header file which supports
RPC dispatch tables.
-I Generate a service that can be started from inetd. The default
is to generate a static service that handles transports
selected with -s. Using -I allows starting a service by either
method.
-K secs
By default, services created using rpcgen wait 120 seconds
after servicing a request before exiting. That interval can be
changed using the -K flag. To create a server that exits
immediately upon servicing a request, -K 0 can be used. To
create a server that never exits, the appropriate argument is
-K -1.
When monitoring for a server, some portmonitors, like
listen(1M), always spawn a new process in response to a service
request. If it is known that a server will be used with such a
monitor, the server should exit immediately on completion. For
such servers, rpcgen should be used with -K -1.
-l Compile into client-side stubs.
-m Compile into server-side stubs, but do not generate a main
routine. This option is useful for doing callback-routines and
for users who need to write their own main routine to do
initialization.
-n netid
Compile into server-side stubs for the transport specified by
netid. There should be an entry for netid in the netconfig
database. This option may be specified more than once, so as
to compile a server that serves multiple transports.
-N Use the newstyle of rpcgen. This allows procedures to have
multiple arguments. It also uses the style of parameter passing
that closely resembles C. So, when passing an argument to a
remote procedure you do not have to pass a pointer to the
argument but the argument itself. This behaviour is different
from the oldstyle of rpcgen generated code. The newstyle is not
the default case because of backward compatibility.
-o outfile
Specify the name of the output file. If none is specified,
standard output is used (-c, -h, -l, -m, -n, -s, -sSc, -sSs and
-t modes only).
-s nettype
Compile into server-side stubs for all the transports belonging
to the class nettype. The supported classes are netpath,
visible, circuit_n, circuit_v, datagram_n, datagram_v, tcp, and
udp [see rpc(3N) for the meanings associated with these
classes]. This option may be specified more than once. Note:
the transports are chosen at run time and not at compile time.
-Sc Generate sample code to show the use of remote procedure and
how to bind to the server before calling the client side stubs
generated by rpcgen.
-Ss Generate skeleton code for the remote procedures on the server
side. You would need to fill in the actual code for the remote
procedures.
-t Compile into RPC dispatch table.
-T Generate the code to support RPC dispatch tables.
The options -c, -h, -l, -m, -s and -t are used exclusively to generate
a particular type of file, while the options -D and -T are global and
can be used with the other options.
NOTES
The RPC Language does not support nesting of structures. As a work-
around, structures can be declared at the top-level, and their name
used inside other structures in order to achieve the same effect.
Name clashes can occur when using program definitions, since the
apparent scoping does not really apply. Most of these can be
avoided by giving unique names for programs, versions, procedures
and types.
The server code generated with -n option refers to the transport
indicated by netid and hence is very site specific.
EXAMPLE
The following example:
$ rpcgen -T prot.x
generates the five files: prot.h, prot_clnt.c, prot_svc.c,
prot_xdr.c and prot_tbl.i.
The following example sends the C data-definitions (header file) to
the standard output.
$ rpcgen -h prot.x
To send the test version of the -DTEST, server side stubs for all
the transport belonging to the class datagram_n to standard output,
use:
$ rpcgen -s datagram_n -DTEST prot.x
To create the server side stubs for the transport indicated by netid
tcp, use:
$ rpcgen -n tcp -o prot_svc.c prot.x
