Subject: [TUHS] Early Datakit - Summary of findings
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:06:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <686B5993-6772-4A0B-BAF0-90F1C882438B@planet.nl> (raw)

I’ve posted a summary of my Datakit notes here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1p6HD5-NSAYKfiXL6GUxfYZgGoesqG6Sp
(available for a limited time)

Hopefully, these notes are helpful for anyone trying to figure out Datakit networking in Eighth Edition.

At the user level, access is organised through the ‘dkdial’ and ‘dkmgr’ routines:
http://man.cat-v.org/unix_8th/3/dkmgr
http://man.cat-v.org/unix_8th/3/tdkdial

The IP networking is handled in the same pattern:
http://man.cat-v.org/unix_8th/3/tcp
http://man.cat-v.org/unix_8th/3/udp

The ipc set of library routines that unify these lower level routines into a single API will only appear in 9th Edition (a year later).
