Geografic-Information-System/lib/db/dbmi_base

This library contains routines called both by client and drivers.

The low level communication is in the xdr*.c files. The routines
All the xdr*.c files create and destroy and XDRS structure.
the xdr_destroy() calls fflush() on the FILE * which is necessary
for the communication along both pipes to work properly.

The client stubs are in c_*.c files.

The driver implementation for any routine, say db_xxxx() is
to be named db_driver_xxxx().

The drivers must write the db_driver_xxxx()
For example
db_ls() /* client routine */
db_driver_ls() /* driver routine */

----------------------------------------------------------
The following variables need to be supplied by gmake

XDRLIB:
the library which contains the xdr_int(), et al routines
sun: none, seems that these are in -lc
dg aviion: none, seems that these are in -lc
intergraph: XDRLIB = -lbsd
linux0.99: XDRLIB = -lrpclib
mips: XDRLIB = -lrpcsvc
sgi: XDRLIB = -lsun

USE_DIRECT:
#define that says to use #include and struct direct
instead of #include and struct dirent

mips: USE_DIRECT = -DUSE_DIRECT

USE_BUFFERED_IO:
#define that says to not to call setbuf(fd, NULL) to force unbuffered io

sun: USE_BUFFERED_IO = -DUSE_BUFFERED_IO
mips: USE_BUFFERED_IO = -DUSE_BUFFERED_IO
note:
intergraph, sgi won't work unless io is unbuffered.
sun, mips can use buffered io.

CC:
mips: CC = /bsd43/bin/cc

---------------
The $DBMSCAP file should have the remote-shell full path in the
command and not let $PATH handle it.

sun: /usr/ucb/rsh
mips: /bin/net/rsh
intergraph: /usr/bin/rcmd
sgi: /usr/bsd/rsh
