FUNCTION


NAME

        dump_socket_status - Display the status of each LPC socket.

SYNTAX

        void dump_socket_status( void );

DESCRIPTION

        dump_socket_status() is a diagnostic facility which displays the
	current status of all LPC sockets configured into the driver. It is
	useful for debugging LPC sockets applications. Each row in the output
	corresponds to a single LPC socket. The first row corresponds to LPC
	socket descriptor 0, the second row, 1, etc. The total number of
	sockets is configured when the driver is built.

	The first column "Fd" is the operating system file descriptor
	associated with the LPC socket. "State" is the current operational
	state of the LPC socket. "Mode" is the socket mode, which is passed as
	an argument to socket_create(). The local and remote addresses are the
	Internet address and port numbers in Internet dot notations. '*'
	indicates an address or which is 0. N.B. LPC sockets that are in the
	CLOSED state are not currently in use; therefore the data displayed
	for that socket may be idiosyncratic.

        The following output was generated on Portals, where the only socket
	application running at the time was MWHOD. It indicates that two
	sockets are current in use, one is listening for connection requests
	on a STREAM mode socket.  The other is waiting for incoming data on a
	DATAGRAM mode socket.
