idl_server_interactive

Syntax

int idl_server_interactive(CLIENT*client)  

Description

Call this function to cause the IDL server to become an interactive IDL session. It is likely that this command will time out. Some alternative mechanism for determining when the server is finished should be implemented. See the example server.c in the idldir/examples/rpc directory.

Parameters

client

A CLIENT structure that corresponds to the desired IDL session.

Return Value

This function returns TRUE if the interactive IDL session did not time out. FALSE is returned if the session times out or otherwise fails.
