IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 Warp Version 3 -- Programmer's Toolkit
Announced on December 19, 1995
Software Announcement 295506
In Brief . . .
Application programming support includes:
o Letting a client program communicate with a server program running
on another computer via 32-bit socket APIs.
o Enabling remote execution of subroutines across a TCP/IP network
via Sun Remote Procedure Calls (RPC).
o Allowing applications to have a client interface for the file
transfer via the FTP API.
o SNMP DPI Version 2.0 -- Permitting end users to dynamically add,
delete, or replace management variables in the local Management
Information Base (MIB), without requiring you to recompile the
SNMP agent.
----------------------------------------
If you are an OS/2(R) Warp user looking for application programming
support, you want to read on. The IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 Warp Version 3
-- Programmer's Toolkit provides the 32 bit routines for application
programming in TCP/IP for OS/2 Warp. These routines have been
enhanced to take full advantage of the TCP/IP for OS/2 function
available in OS/2 Warp Connect and the Internet Connection for OS/2
feature available in the Warp BonusPak. They include sockets, Sun
remote procedure calls (RPC), the file transfer protocol (FTP)
application programming interface (API), and the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) distributed programming interface (DPI)
Version 2.0.

DESCRIPTION
32-bit Socket APIs
These socket routines allow interfacing with the TCP, UDP and IP
protocols.
These socket routines let a program communicate across networks with
other programs. For example, these socket routines can be used when
you write a client program that communicates with a server program
running on another computer.
RPC
The Sun RPC (Remote Procedure Call) protocol enables remote execution
of subroutines across a TCP/IP network. RPC, together with the
external Data Representation (XDR) protocol, defines a standard for
representing data that is independent of internal protocols or
formatting.
The RPC protocol enables users to work with remote procedures as if
the procedures were local.
This is an implementation of the Sun Remote Procedure Call, as
described in the Sun Workstation Remote Procedure Call Programming
Guide, and in RFCs 1057 and 1014.
FTP API
The FTP API allows applications to have a client interface for the
file transfer.
Applications written to this interface can communicate with multiple
FTP servers at the same time.
SNMP DPI Version 2.0
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent distributed
program interface (DPI) permits end users to dynamically add, delete,
or replace management variables in the local Management Information
Base (MIB), without requiring you to recompile the SNMP agent. This
is achieved by writing a subagent that communicates with the agent
via the SNMP DPI. Using the DPI, new MIBs can be implemented for the
network management of various functions residing on the OS/2
workstation. The DPI interface is described in RFC 1592 (Request for
Comments).
