The local pin number is passed to foreign users as the HANDLE; this is used to index the SST array on subsequent references. Some less than obvious SST fields are : socket_usage : state or usage of this socket, from above list unused_brother : since Multics always views sockets as pairs, the use of net_pin_manager_ results in the allocation of two pins. However, RSEXEC requests only ask for sockets one at a time. Thus, one of each pair allocated by Multics is ignored; unused_brother is its pin number. listener_id_no : each RSEXEC conversation is assigned a unique integer identifier so that sockets belonging to that conver- sation can be found. link_segment_ptr : if this socket is in use for a link, this field points to the .ARPAnet_msgs segment involved in this link. link_subscript_or_mode : if socket is used for a link, this is the index of this link in the ULT.link array. If used for file transfer, this field is the mode specification. type_for_transfer : if socket is used for file transfer, this is the type specification. */ */ ----------------------------------------------------------- Historical Background This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group Bull including Bull HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to computer science knowledge. This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell Bull Inc., Groupe Bull and Bull HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. . ----------------------------------------------------------- Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute these programs and their documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted,provided that the below copyright notice and historical background appear in all copies and that both the copyright notice and historical background and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation, and that the names of MIT, HIS, Bull or Bull HN not be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the programs without specific prior written permission.
