TIPC networking protocol in Linux

Question

Hello

How should I program to use TIPC networking protocol, that comes with linux kernel (CONFIG_TIPC xconfig parameter) ?

Is there any applications, which uses TIPC?

Answer 1

I had no idea what TIPC was, but I Googled an indication that it could be accessed as "sockets of the AF_TIPC address family".

In this case, you should be able to access it through the regular socket mechanism, like any other socket type:

  struct sockaddr_in Foo;
  ...
  memset(&Foo, 0, sizeof(Foo));     // Init address struct.
  Foo.sin_family = AF_TIPC;         // Instead of the usual AF_INET
  etc.

Documentation (that includes examples) is there. And the documentation mentions that TIPC has a "native" API as well.
