globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_create_data_info (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, globus_ftp_control_data_write_info_t *data_info, globus_byte_t *buffer, globus_size_tlength, globus_off_toffset, globus_bool_teof, \fBglobus_ftp_control_data_callback_t\fPcallback, void *callback_arg)

Create a globus_ftp_control_data_write_info_t structure. This function populates a globus_ftp_control_data_callback_t structure with valid information. This structure provides the user a way to register several data writes with a single callback. This is quite useful to the writer of enqueue functions. It allows a single call to globus_ftp_control_data_write() to be broken up into many writes, potentially on different stripes, and for a single callback to be called when all are finished.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. The handle contains information about the current state of the control and data connections.

data_info The globus_ftp_control_data_write_info_t structure to be released.

buffer The pointer to the user buffer that will be passed to the callback argument when there are zero references to data_info. This is intended to be the start of all the data the user intends to write using globus_ftp_control_data_write_stripe(), but it does not have to be.

length The length of the memory segment pointed to by the argument buffer.

offset The file offset of the data segment specified.

eof This should be set to true if the user plans on registering eof on the data_info structure.

callback The user function to be called when all references to data_info are released. This occurs after all data registered for write from globus_ftp_control_data_write_stripe have occurred and the user calls globus_ftp_control_release_data_info(). The callback is passed all of the arguments passed to this function with the exception of data_info.

callback_arg User supplied argument to the callback function

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_add_channels (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, unsigned intnum_channels, unsigned intstripe_ndx)

Add data channels. Opens additional data channels (connections) to the host identified by the stripe parameter.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. This handle is used to determine the host corresponding to the stripe number and to store information about any channels added by this function.

num_channels The number of additional channels to add.

stripe_ndx A integer identifying the stripe to add channels too. In the case of non-striped transfer this parameter will be ignored.

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_connect_read (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, globus_ftp_control_data_connect_callback_tcallback, void *user_arg)

Create an incoming FTP data connection. This function will register a globus_io_{accept, connect}. Further accepts/connects are done by registering a new accept/connect in the current accept/connect callback. A call to either globus_ftp_control_local_pasv() or globus_ftp_control_local_port() needs to precede this calling this function. This function may be followed by a globus_ftp_data_read.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle which is configured to create an incoming data connection.

callback This callback is called when the connection occurs. This parameter may be NULL.

user_arg The user argument passed to the connect callback.

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_connect_write (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, globus_ftp_control_data_connect_callback_tcallback, void *user_arg)

Create an outgoing FTP data connection. This function will register a globus_io_{accept, connect}. Further accepts/connects are done by registering a new accept/connect in the current accept/connect callback. A call to either globus_ftp_control_local_pasv() or globus_ftp_control_local_port() needs to precede this calling this function. This function may be followed by a globus_ftp_data_write.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle which is configured to create an outgoing data connection.

callback This callback is called when the connection occurs. This parameter may be NULL.

user_arg The user argument passed to the connect callback.

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_get_total_data_channels (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, unsigned int *num_channels, unsigned intstripe_ndx)

Get Total Data Channels For a Stripe. Returns the total number of data channels used so far in the current transfer on the given stripe.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. This handle is used to determine the host corresponding to 'stripe' and number of channels corresponding to that host.

num_channels

stripe_ndx A integer identifying the stripe for which to return the number of channels. In the case of non-striped transfer this parameter should be zero.

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_query_channels (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, unsigned int *num_channels, unsigned intstripe_ndx)

Number of data channels. Returns the number of currently open channels for the host identified by the stripe parameter. This number may be less then the level of parallelism specified in local_parallelism, due to the possibility that some channels have not yet connected.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. This handle is used to determine the host corresponding to 'stripe' and number of channels corresponding to that host.

num_channels

stripe_ndx A integer identifying the stripe for which to return the number of channels. In the case of non-striped transfer this parameter should be zero.

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_read (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, globus_byte_t *buffer, globus_size_tmax_length, \fBglobus_ftp_control_data_callback_t\fPcallback, void *callback_arg)

Read data from data connections. Reads data from data connection(s) and put them in the supplied buffer.

This function takes the given buffer and will try to read data from the data connection(s).

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. The handle contains information about the current state of the control and data connections.

buffer A user supplied buffer into which data from the data connection(s) will be written

max_length The maximum length of the data that can be written to the buffer

callback The function to be called once the data has been read

callback_arg User supplied argument to the callback function

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_remove_channels (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, unsigned intnum_channels, unsigned intstripe_ndx)

Remove Data Channels. Removes data channels (connections) to the host identified by the stripe parameter.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. This handle is used to determine the host corresponding to the stripe number and to update information about any channels removed by this function.

num_channels The number of channels to remove.

stripe_ndx A integer identifying the stripe to remove channels from. In the case of non-striped transfer this parameter will be ignored.

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_send_eof (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, intcount[], intarray_size, globus_bool_teof_message, \fBglobus_ftp_control_callback_t\fPcb, void *user_arg)

Send EOF. Sends an EOF message to each stripe along an open data connection.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. This handle contains the state for a connection.

count[] This array of integers should contain an integer that will be added to the current parallel data connection count on each stripe. The order of the integers corresponds to each stripe in the same order as what was returned from local_port().

An EOF message must be sent to all receiving hosts in a transfer. The message contains the total number of data connections used by each stripe. Many stripes may be sending to a single receiver but only one EOF message may be sent. The count parameter allows the user to pass in the total number of data connections used by all other hosts. The local values are added to the passed in values and then sent to the receiver.

Parameters:

array_size The number of elements in count[].

eof_message

cb The function to be called when the eof message has been called.

user_arg A user pointer that is threaded through to the user callback.

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_set_interface (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, const char *interface_addr)

Write data to data connections. Writes data from the supplied buffer to data connection(s)

This function writes contained in the buffer to the data channel(s).

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. The handle contains information about the current state of the control and data connections.

buffer A user supplied buffer from which data will written to the data connection(s)

length The length of the data contained in the buffer.

offset The offset in the file at which the data in the buffer starts

eof Indicates that the buffer is that last part of a file. In the striped case this will cause a EOF block to be send to every data node involved in the transfer.

callback The function to be called once the data has been sent

callback_arg User supplied argument to the callback function

globus_result_t globus_ftp_control_data_write_stripe (globus_ftp_control_handle_t *handle, globus_byte_t *buffer, globus_size_tlength, globus_off_toffset, globus_bool_teof, intstripe_ndx, \fBglobus_ftp_control_data_callback_t\fPcallback, void *callback_arg)

Write FTP data to a stripe. This function allows the user to write to a specified stripe. The stripe index relates to the order passsed into local_spor(). This function differs from globus_ftp_control_data_write() in that no enqueue function is needed since the user specifies the stripe on which data is written. In order to use this function the user must have a valid pointer to a globus_ftp_control_data_write_info_t structure. The data_info structure can be obtained by a call to globus_ftp_control_create_data_info(). Many calls to this function can be made, but only a single user callback occurs per creation of a globus_ftp_control_data_write_info_t structure.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. The handle contains information about the current state of the control and data connections.

buffer a pointer to the data the user wishes to send along the FTP data channels.

length the length of the data pointer to by the parameter buffer.

offset the offset into the file of the data.

eof A boolean stating that this will be the last chuck of data registered on the given stripe. In order to properly send an eof message the user must register an eof on every stripe.

stripe_ndx The index of the stripe on which the data will be sent. The index of each stripe is determined by the call to local_spas or local_spor.

callback The function to be called once the data has been sent

callback_arg User supplied argument to the callback function

Write data to a stripe from an enqueue callback. This function allows the user to register the write of ftp data on a specific stripe. This function can only be called from an enqueue function callback. This function should be used only by the implementor of an enqueue function. It should be viewed as unstable and used used only by advanced users. This is the only function in the library that the enqueue function implementor is allowed from the enqueue callback.

Parameters:

handle A pointer to a FTP control handle. The handle contains information about the current state of the control and data connections.

buffer a pointer to the data the user wishes to send along the FTP data channels.

length the length of the data pointer to by the parameter buffer.

offset the offset into the file of the data.

eof a boolean stating that this is the last buffer to be registered. When using the X version of this function the user does not need to register an eof on each stripe, the control library will take care of that internally.

stripe_ndx The index of the stripe on which the data will be sent. The index of each stripe is determined by the call to local_spas or local_spor.

data_info An opaque structure that is passed into the enqueue function and contains reference count and state information. The same data_info pointer that is passed into the enqueue function must be used for this parameter.
