Pvmd Entry Points

 

Messages for the pvmd are reassembled from packets in loclinpkt() if from a local task, or in netinpkt() if from another pvmd or foreign task. Reassembled messages are passed to one of three entry points:

Function           Messages From
-----------------------------------------------------
loclentry()        Local tasks
netentry()         Remote pvmds
schentry()         Local or remote special tasks
                   (Resource manager, Hoster, Tasker)
-----------------------------------------------------

If the message tag and contents are valid, a new thread of action is started to handle the request. Invalid messages are discarded.
