#include <rsmapi.h>
int rsm_memseg_export_publish(rsm_memseg_export_handle_t memseg,
rsm_memseg_id_t *segment_id, rsmapi_access_entry_t access_list[],
uint_t access_list_length);

DESCRIPTION
The rsm_memseg_export_publish(), rsm_memseg_export_unpublish(), and
rsm_memseg_export_republish() functions allow or disallow a memory seg‐
ment to be imported by other nodes.
The rsm_memseg_export_publish(3RSM) function allows the export segment
specified by the memseg argument to be imported by other nodes. It also
assigns a unique segment identifier to the segment and defines the
access control list for the segment. The segment_id argument is a
pointer to an identifier which is unique on the publishing node. It is
the responsibility of the application to manage the assignment of
unique segment identifiers. The identifier can be optionally initial‐
ized to 0, in which case the system will return a unique segment iden‐
tifier value. The access_list argument is composed of pairs of nodeid
and access permissions. For each nodeid specified in the list, the
associated read/write permissions are provided by three octal digits
for owner, group, and other, as for Solaris file permissions. In the
access control each octal digit may have the following values:
2 write access
4 read only access
6 read and write access
An access permissions value of 0624 specifies: (1) an importer with the
same uid as the exporter has read and write access; (2) an importer
with the same gid as the exporter has write access only; and (3) all
other importers have read access only. When an access control list is
provided, nodes not included in the list will be prevented from import‐
ing the segment. However, if the access list is NULL (this will
require the length access_list_length to be specified as 0 as well),
then no nodes will be excluded from importing and the access permis‐
sions on all nodes will equal the owner-group-other file creation per‐
missions of the exporting process. Corresponding to the access_list
argument, the access_list_length argument specifies the number of
entries in the access_list array.
The rsm_memseg_export_unpublish() function disallows the export segment
specified by memseg from being imported. All the existing import con‐
nections are forcibly disconnected.
The rsm_memseg_export_republish() function changes the access control
list for the exported and published segment. Although the current
import connections remain unaffected by this call, new connections are
constrained by the new access list.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an
error value is returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The rsm_memseg_export_publish(), rsm_memseg_export_unpublish(), and
rsm_memseg_export_republish() functions can return the following
errors:
RSMERR_BAD_SEG_HNDL Invalid segment handle.
RSMERR_NOT_CREATOR Not creator of segment.
The rsm_memseg_export_publish() and rsm_memseg_export_republish()
functions can return the following errors, with the exception that only
rsm_memseg_export_publish() can return the errors related to the seg‐
ment identifier:
RSMERR_SEGID_IN_USE Segment identifier in use.
RSMERR_RESERVED_SEGID Segment identifier reserved.
RSMERR_BAD_SEGID Invalid segment identifier.
RSMERR_BAD_ACL Invalid access control list.
RSMERR_SEG_ALREADY_PUBLISHED Segment already published.
RSMERR_INSUFFICIENT_MEM Insufficient memory.
RSMERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES Insufficient resources.
RSMERR_LOCKS_NOT_SUPPORTED Locks not supported.
RSMERR_BAD_ADDR Bad address.
The rsm_memseg_export_republish() and rsm_memseg_export_unpublish()
functions can return the following errors:
RSMERR_SEG_NOT_PUBLISHED Segment not published.
RSMERR_INTERRUPTED The operation was interrupted by a sig‐
nal.
