- I have a few questions about the lockd protocol, which I am trying to
- implement:
-
- 1. There seem to be 3 flavors of each request - eg. for the lock
- request, there is
- nlm_lock, nlm_lock_msg and nlm_lock_res. Why? What are the differences?
- 2. What are the version 3 requests for (share, unshare, nm_lock and free_all?)
- 3. What is the function of the cookie argument in all the calls?
- 4. What does the svid argument mean?
-
- Can anyone point me to any document which gives me a high level description of
- the protocol (besides just the uncommented spec?).
