Annotation of researchv10no/cmd/nupas/ipc/doc, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: There are two routines implemented: ipcpath and ipcopen.  Both appear to
        !             2: work pretty much the same as the V10 versions.  ipcpath converts
        !             3: a destination with default network and service name to a string
        !             4: useable by ipcopen.  Ipcopen processes destinations with the
        !             5: following format:
        !             6: 
        !             7:        dialer!destination
        !             8: 
        !             9: The following networks are supported:
        !            10: 
        !            11:        dk  - connect through datakit dkdial(2) call.  Host address
        !            12:                must be a valid datakit string.
        !            13: 
        !            14:        tcp - connect through a socket.  Host address is obtained
        !            15:                by gethostbyname.  Format of destination is
        !            16:                host!service.  If the service name is the form
        !            17:                tcp.nn or nn, call service nn.  If it is an alphabetic,
        !            18:                obtain the port number through getservbyname.
        !            19: 
        !            20:        mx - same as tcp, except ask the resolver for MX records
        !            21:                and try those addresses.  If no MX records work,
        !            22:                try the A address of the host.
        !            23: 
        !            24:        proxy - connect to the Internet through the gateway proxy
        !            25:                service whose
        !            26:                address is given in the ipcopen.c source.  The
        !            27:                connection may be through datakit or tcp.
        !            28: 
        !            29:        (others)        some synonyms for various proxy destinations.
        !            30: 
        !            31: All the code is contained in a directory named `ipc'.  The command
        !            32:        make init net1 net2 ... lib
        !            33: will install code to call the networks requested from the network names
        !            34: given above.  Uninstalled networks will call a stub that aborts
        !            35: if the network is tried.
        !            36:
