pt_ident pSOS+ System Calls
Notes
See Also
1. Internally, the pSOS+ kernel treats a partition name as a 32-bit integer.
However, when the application calls the kernel through the pSOS+ C language
API, it passes the partition name as a four-byte character array.
2. The pSOS+ kernel does not check for duplicate partition names. If duplicate
partition names exist, a pt_ident() call can return the ID of any partition
with the duplicate name.
Multiprocessor Considerations
1. pt_ident() converts a partition's name to its ptid using a search order
determined by the node input parameter, which is described in pSOSystem
System Concepts. Because partitions created and exported by different nodes
may not have unique names, the result of this binding may depend on the order
in which the object tables are searched.
2. If the master node's Global Object Table must be searched, then the pSOS+m
kernel makes an RSC to the master node.
