The TRequest Structure

You use the TRequest structure to specify the data being sent with the OTSndRequest function and the data being read with the OTRcvRequest function. You pass a pointer to this structure as a parameter to each of these functions. When sending data you must initialize the buf and len fields of all the TNetbufs. When receiving data, you must initialize the buf and maxlen fields of all the TNetbufs.

The TRequest structure is defined by the TRequest data type.

struct TRequest
   {
      TNetbuf     data;
      TNetbuf     opt;
      OTSequence  sequence;
   };
   typedef struct TRequest TRequest;
