Purpose:
Implemented port hunting
Really catch SIGPIPE signals
Description:
Port hunting allows to try and bind to a successive port number
if the port number given in the filename is already used.
Because of a stupid typo in the code, SIGPIPE wasn't catched
which might have caused the sending side to hang.
Solution:
The Stream VFD's file access property list was extended by two
elements:
- maxhunt: how many successive ports to try if the one
given in the filename is already in use
Default is not to hunt for additional ports.
- port: port number which is finally used to bind a socket
This might be different to the port number
as given in the filename if port hunting is enabled.
The H5Pget_fapl_stream() can be used to obtain
this port number.
Platforms tested:
x86 Linux, Irix 32/64 bit, Dec Alpha, Unicos on T3E, AIX on SP2
Hitachi SR8000
This is hdf5-1.5.7 currently under development
Please refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library. The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library. The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the
"index.html" in that dictectory.
Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.
hdf5 - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
other users.
hdf5dev - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
with developers and other interested parties.
hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
not a discussion list.
hdf5cvs - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
not a discussion list.
To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5
Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".
Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.
