| | 40 | .Sh SYNOPSIS |
| | 41 | .Nm talkd |
| | 42 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
| | 43 | .Nm Talkd |
| | 44 | is the server that notifies a user that someone else wants to |
| | 45 | initiate a conversation. |
| | 46 | It acts as a repository of invitations, responding to requests |
| | 47 | by clients wishing to rendezvous to hold a conversation. |
| | 48 | In normal operation, a client, the caller, |
| | 49 | initiates a rendezvous by sending a |
| | 50 | .Tn CTL_MSG |
| | 51 | to the server of |
| | 52 | type |
| | 53 | .Tn LOOK_UP |
| | 54 | (see |
| | 55 | .Aq Pa protocols/talkd.h ) . |
| | 56 | This causes the server to search its invitation |
| | 57 | tables to check if an invitation currently exists for the caller |
| | 58 | (to speak to the callee specified in the message). |
| | 59 | If the lookup fails, |
| | 60 | the caller then sends an |
| | 61 | .Tn ANNOUNCE |
| | 62 | message causing the server to |
| | 63 | broadcast an announcement on the callee's login ports requesting contact. |
| | 64 | When the callee responds, the local server uses the |
| | 65 | recorded invitation to respond with the appropriate rendezvous |
| | 66 | address and the caller and callee client programs establish a |
| | 67 | stream connection through which the conversation takes place. |
