| |
| On Plan 9, when a user-level file server mounts itself into a |
| name space or posts itself in <tt><font size=+1>/srv</font></tt>, the Plan 9 kernel multiplexes |
| the potentially many processes accessing the server into a single |
| 9P conversation. The user-level server need not concern itself |
| with how many processes are accessing it or with cleaning up |
| after a process when it exits unexpectedly. On Unix, <i>9pserve</i> takes |
| the place of the Plan 9 kernel, multiplexing clients onto a single |
| server conversation and cleaning up after clients when they hang |
| up unexpectedly. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| <i>9pserve</i> announces a 9P service on <i>addr</i> and multiplexes any 9P |
| clients connecting to <i>addr</i> into a single conversation with a 9P |
| server on <i>9pserve</i>’s standard input and output. When a client hangs |
| up, <i>9pserve</i> flushes any outstanding 9P transactions and clunks |
| any outstanding fids belonging to the client. |
