tsCCTALK_SOCK_PKT_HDR Struct Reference

#include <cctalk-pkts.h>

---

Detailed Description

This is the header for any packet that traverses the cctalk socket.

This header contains a magic number field that the packet catcher will look for to signify the beginning of a packet. Once this magic number has been received the next 3 identifiers are read in. The packet size tells us how many bytes to expect in this packet. The packet version field tells what version of the packet handler we should process this packet with. Finally the last field tells what type of packet this is. The first three fields must never change as these fields provide backwards compatibility with any future version of this code.

Data Fields
unsigned long	lMagicNo
unsigned long	lPktSize
unsigned long	lPktVersion
unsigned long	lPktType
