do_mach_notify_dead_name

SYNOPSIS

kern_return_t   do_mach_notify_dead_name
                (notify_port_t                           notify,
                 mach_port_name_t                          name);


kern_return_t   do_seqnos_mach_notify_dead_name
                (notify_port_t                           notify,
                 mach_port_seqno_t                        seqno,
                 mach_port_name_t                          name);

PARAMETERS

notify

[in notify (receive) right] The port to which the notification was sent.

seqno

[in scalar] The sequence number of this message relative to the notification port.

name

[in scalar] The dead name.

DESCRIPTION

A do_mach_notify_dead_name function is called by notify_server as the result of a kernel message indicating that the port name is now dead as the result of the associated receive right having died. In contrast, a port-deleted notification indicates that the port name is no longer usable (that is, it no longer names a valid right), typically as a result of the right so named being consumed or moved. notify is the port named via mach_port_request_notification or mach_msg.

NOTES

This interface is machine word length specific because of the port name parameter.

RETURN VALUES

Only generic errors apply.
